[@HouseofVillians]

As a Chiefs fan since 1978. I can honestly say. After watching Bills heartbreak for 4 years. I want you guys to get one. And JA seems like a good dude. Chiefs fans are scared, really scared. We know our offense is sub-par. Defense is good, but not last year good. Mahomes is very gun shy this year. Everyone keeps saying hes been sand bagging. I have news for them. After 17 games, he aint breaking out. This is definitely weakest team for Mahomes. Im sitting about 25% confidence we will win. Your Oline will stop our pass rush. Ive seen it all year. Look at the easy runs Stroud had last week. Only thing that could derail you is turnovers. But i would think it will have to be 2 or more to matter. I see the Bills advancing and beating Eagles in SB by 7 to 10 cause Sirianni is a numbuts.

Your a Chiefs fan? Lol...we want every Superbowl that has ever existed. Nice don't win in Competition. Who knows what Pat ha dealt with I jury wise, spiritual wise and family wise.

Thanks Joe. Another great morning.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I am looking forward to seeing what the Bills run game looks like. Last year, the Bills run game peaked too early. Cook was great all season, then ran for about 500 yards against the Cowboys, but then sort of disappeared down the stretch. I think that he wore down, he wasn’t as strong and fit as he is this year, but also, the Bills run game was pretty much just Cook and Allen. This time, it’s Johnson, Davis, Allen, and Cook, and they’re peaking at the right time. The other good thing to note is that Kansas City’s run defense has been a bit suspect recently. The freaking TEXANS ran all over them, and while I think they will step up against the Bills, if the Broncos and Ravens elite run defenses couldn’t stymie the Bills run game, Kansas City’s should be vulnerable. However, as I said, I expect KC to really prepare to counter that. I hope that creates opportunities for Coleman, Cooper, Kincaid, and Knox to eat, and for Cook to get a bit more involved as a receiving back. The Bills have unleashed a new surprising person at their opponents pretty much every week, and I worry that they have run out of surprising eaters. Johnson stepped up and broke KC’s defenses early on, and they had no answers for him in the first matchup. Samuel stepped up for some nice players the last couple games after being next to non existent all season. Mack Hollins has had some solid surprising games. Kincaid and Coleman have been quiet recently, and didn’t play against KC, so maybe they will step up, but there is game footage of them. We all know that Cooper hasn’t been very productive with the Bills, but he is a key part of this offense because we all know what he is capable of doing, even if he’s been quiet. Maybe this is just the game where the Bills unleash everybody, like the final level of a video game. Personally, I think that the Bills should run Shakir as a running back on a couple of plays. The guy refused to be tackled, and if KC shuts him down, surprise them by running him with the ball like Brady ran Diggs with it a couple of times last year. It was an effective play that Diggs himself liked for its creativity, and it hasn’t been used once this season. I really like the idea of using it against KC. Oh yeah, and a couple of QB design runs more sporadically used would be nice. Give us one on the opening or second play of the game. That’ll get the team moving and will shut the crowd up fast! Let’s get go get these bastards!

[@SoftDrinksOfChoice]

Agree w everything except Shakir being a RB

[@quinnjackson9252]

@ why not? I’m not saying 10, 5, or even 3 times. Once or twice for a gain of 12 yards because the defense isn’t expecting it. Semi-trick play.

[@michaelchilds7958]

Bills safety play is worrisome, especially against two guys with great foot speed. Still, no denying the BILLS, 30-24

[@dwayned8932]

Enjoyed the show, looking forward to another classic this weekend. Thought I would make a comment on Watson. There will be no rotation there. Watson was the clear number 2 and was one of the top rated CBs in the nfl prior to breaking his leg. No one expected him back, last week was his first game and they had him on a snap count. He will play all game this week, and that is massive, because that will let McDuffie slide into the slot if Spags wants. I think on a lot of high leverage downs you will see Watson and williams pressing on the outside and mcduffie on Shakir.

[@johndunne550]

In the words of Pacino in Any Given Sunday, “We’re in hell, Gentlemen. Believe me.” Go Bills!

[@joelaughlin6782]

I really like Ray Davis, liked him a lot from his college tape and story. About as much as I liked Bernard’s tape coming out of college. My question is, why didn’t we run him more against the Ravens? He was very effective. He had two 10-15 yard runs back to back and then was taken out. We have 3 really good backs, I feel like we should be going with the hot hand, Cook just wasn’t playing great, wasn’t his game.

[@TheLeadG]

What do you mean? He ran well, and it’s against the best rushing defense in the league. 3.9 yards per carry over 60 yards. That’s decent.

[@quintenruckman3505]

Possibly the best game of the season! Both QBs raise their play to insane levels in the playoffs. Bills defense is the weakest it’s been in several years. Especially with the secondary injuries! They’ve feasted on TOs. Chiefs OL is a potential danger spot unless Humphries starts and Thuney kicks back inside. Cleanest game probably wins this one. Chiefs haven’t turned it over in 8 games and Mahomes hasn’t had a TO since week 11. Buffalo has the best TO differential in the NFL. Only massive advantage on either side is coaching. Reid is miles ahead of McDermott. Feels like an instant classic!!

[@krakhedd]

As soon as you said "Bills' offense key to the game - POUND THE ROCK" --> I knew when Sherfield dropped that long bomb in the 2nd Q that the Bills' game plan was tragically flawed and had failed and we were going to lose that game; pounding the rock and controlling the clock is the ONLY reliable way to beat KC and we did it earlier this season. I think the Bills finally get this done and I think it's on the backs of, well, the (running) backs!!

[@wyomingtrout5581]

The Bills have exceeded all my expectations going into this game. I had them winning their division & 1 home playoff game. They had to play a perfect game to beat KC at home. Their lack of a real down field threat at the receiver position will be their downfall. KC will blanket their receivers and Spags will have a spy plan to limit Josh Allen in the running game. The Bills will not be able to run consistently on KC, Amari Cooper has been a bust & Coleman is just average and cannot separate. The Bills only hope is to put 5 wideouts on the field at times and hope that we can get some big chunk plays and yak from Shakier and their talented running backs. This will also significantly limit some of the blitz packages that KC like to run. I like KC in this game. Chiefs 24 Bills 21

[@michaell5026]

What I'm most concerned about is the Bills D inability to stop teams on 3rd down. Add in the Chiefs and Mahomes are very good on 3rd downs. I'm just not sure how this Buffalo D stops the Chiefs O. The Bills D almost always relies on getting turnovers. KC just isn't going to do that.

[@Avalanche8181]

Remember when Nate Clements smokes Tom Brady. Let's hope one of our DBs channel him this weekend

[@tommcmasters8429]

Here is one thing I am feeling we are going to see on Sunday. Remember at the start of the season the NFL told the refs to make an example of tackles that line up off the line and how that was implemented was they called the Ravens tackle multiple times in a row and even more times throughout the game and although the Chief’s tackle was a worse offender and also started early he was only called once? I expect that the Chief’s tackle will be way off the line and move early most of this game and never get called or maybe called once if enough people share this thought and the NFL sees it. The call that I do expect to see “because the NFL” wants teams to remember it is illegal is the Bills offensive lineman pulling the runner forward. This definitely is against the rules. The Bills lineman definitely have blatantly done it a couple times and not been called. This is an easy way for the NFL to hide referee preference for the Chiefs. No one could argue. I am hoping the Bills reiterate the rule and tell their line to be especially careful. The NFL is going to have the refs so keyed on this that even if the lineman is even and almost pushing they are going to call it. It will be important to not even do that. If they are even they need to push the line and not touch the runner.

[@michaell5026]

I think the Chiefs will come out and load the box to intentionally stop the Bills run game. As a result, i think the Bills should come out throwing the ball often. Force them out of thror heavy boxes. Then it will be time to pound the rock. I think it will be a huge mistake for the Bills to run the ball early. Think the Ravens game abd the start of the 2nd half.

[@ravenclaw9122]

Honestly i respect everything the Chiefs have accomplished and Patrick Mahomes is the Boogieman. However i see the game going like this.We are going to pull out our jumbo package and run it down their throats. Dawkins Brown Anderson Torrance Knox Gilliam HOLLINS these guys are out to Bully and Intimidate the defense.Josh is singularly focused on getting past this Chiefs team. Mahomes is going to have to sit there and slowly get pissed off as we rattle off 1st down after 1st down putting together 10 plus play drives. Cook with 140 and 2tds. Josh 40yds 2tds. Davis and Jhonson 50yds combined. I do not see them stopping our run without loading up the box. Josh plays smart turnover free football and we out Chief the Chiefs. The only shot they have is to get out to an early lead and like the first Baltimore game make us predictable in what we can run offensively. On Defense Mahomes has never beat the duo of Milano And Bernard at linebacker so theres that😂. We need our D line to play as dominant as i think our O line will play. Love the show. I Never miss an Episode. Lets Do this one more week Joe. Bills win 34-27. ❤GO BILLS.

[@IronTuskViking]

The refs have already called a roughing the passer against the bills.

[@quinnjackson9252]

Phew, only one. Maybe we’ve got a chance!! Kidding aside, I really liked the refereeing style from last game against the Ravens. They did have some rough calls and non-calls, but it was a very fair and balanced game by the refs, and more importantly, the refs let them play. Nobody wants to see 30 nit picky penalties called in the first 15 minutes of the game. Just let them play a little and only call things that are obviously bad. That call on Dawkins was bad, as was the no-call on the helmet to helmet on Allen, but for the most part the refs let them play. It was a battle, and the refs let them fight it out! I really hope we rag doll Mahomes and make him feel every impact compile each time he touches the ball.

[@quintenruckman3505]

Josh Allen has gotten more personal fouls called FOR HIM since entering the league than Mahomes by 30… stop buying into fake narratives it’s embarrassing

[@kennyjames4679]

@@quintenruckman3505 amount of calls has nothing to do with quality of calls. Mahomes gets calls for defenders who look at him wrong, or if he gets sacked a phantom defensive holding or interference call is made, Allen could be hit with a pipe and not get a call, or one of his receivers could be getting raped in the endzone and theres no call as he's sacked, then after the play the ref goes to the sideline to admonish Allen for calling the ref out for the no call (that literally happened in the denver playoff game). There's a reason the chiefs are getting so much shit for ref glazing, it's because the refs have been glazing the chiefs, especially mahomes. Go back to chiefs kingdom and back to your mahomes ball tickling.
