Can Bills fix sloppiness with Chiefs headed to town?
The Bills could have forced far more than the four takeaways the defense had against the Colts -- something that is fixable moving forward. On offense, some of the miscommunications and drops can be explained by the injuries at wide receiver. But with Keon Coleman (wrist) possibly out against Kansas City, mixing things up in the running game and finding ways to maximize the communication between the available receivers and quarterback Josh Allen will be key.
Biggest hole in the game plan: Waiting too long to get the running game going. James Cook had only eight carries in the first half despite averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Straying from that put the Bills offense in some tough situations, which was especially evident on first downs. Allen was 4-of-10 for 25 yards with two interceptions while passing on first down.
Describe the game in two words: Good enough. It wasn't the prettiest game the Bills have played, with the run defense issues highlighted yet again and offensive inconsistencies on display. But thanks to 10 early points off turnovers and late adjustments, it was enough for the Bills' best start to a season since 1993 (8-2).
Think Buffalo probably beats KC. They will be hyped and it’s their Super Bowl. It’s ok if KC loses this game, just can’t drop one to a bad team. Hope I’m wrong and we win. [Reply]
