Bills pass rush is pretty average. Their run defense is below average and vulnerable, however they are the best team in the league by a wide margin in turnover margin at +13.
With Coleman and Kincaid (likely) out, the Chiefs need to do their thing focusing on stopping the run and forcing them into 3rd and long [Reply]
Who on Buffalo is taking away our passing options?
Even if they stick Taron Johnson on Kelce or Hopkins, who can't take either guy away fully, that just means the other guy is gonna have opportunities galore. On top of JJSS.
I think Mahomes would have to be awful, which he won't be, for us not to score in the 27 range. [Reply]

And the Chargers game was a 10-10 tie midway through the 4th, IIRC.
We may have never trailed in the 4th, but those games were definitely a bit too close for comfort.
Yeah, I think a team of our caliber should be able to win a Wild Card game handily but anything Divisional and beyond is expected to be a dogfight.
Although I would absolutely love to win a Super Bowl in blowout fashion.
Went back and looked and yea the Falcon game was down to the last play, the rest though nah not really. I believe Atlanta benefited from some really ticky tack calls that whole drive looking at the drive summary.
We shut out the Chargers in the 2nd half. That game wasn't nearly as close as the box score just like the Raiders game. [Reply]

There are blown calls in every game. Expecting perfection from the referees is unrealistic. Right now we have almost all of the rest of the fans in the NFL rooting against us and acting like they have a right to expect perfection from the referees when it comes to calls against the Chiefs. They have no such expectation on calls that work for the Chiefs, because they don't want those calls to be made.
I would love to see someone do a fair analysis of calls/blown calls that work for the Chiefs and against the Chiefs. Then I would like to see how that compares to the rest of the teams in the league. Finally, if that analysis is done fairly and shows that the Chiefs are benefitting from calls more so than the rest of the league, then do the same analysis with other teams that have been the golden children of the NFL like the Patriots, etc.
Once that is done, then I will listen to people that want to claim that the NFL is favoring the Chiefs. [Reply]

Josh Allen and McDermott treat this game like it's their super bowl every year and play it with that intensity. We always seem to play it as if it's another game, because that's what it is. So I just don't get all that excited by it, since the team as a whole seems pretty non-plussed about it.
I like that it's in Buffalo and their fans and players will be UP for it. Because I think the Chiefs are going to shatter their hopes Sunday. To see those tears will be marvelous. [Reply]
