Lessons from Bills' previous matchups with Chiefs + concerns from playoff win over Ravens

[@Lockems]

Chiefs fan here. Y’all have had an impressive year and Josh has definitely taken it to another level with the efficiency he plays with. That’s the way you gotta be to win it all. Good luck this weekend!!!

[@LJF_JR]

Sign Mack Hollins to a lifetime contract. Guy is the embodiment of what it is to be a Buffalo Bill. Love him

[@Imbadatleague]

For real!!!!!! Shame we missed out this guy for 8 seasons

He defiently is. And hes 31 and still playing great what a guy.

[@kanakahawaii6860]

He made it this team gel together

[@SeanL-jw9rr]

Loved the Samuel/Hollins signing from day one. Figured Mack would add a great possession target for Josh, and some run block skill, but man has he done SO much more. Special teams, energy he brings, infectious positive attitude. Guy is a lightning rod of positivity, lmao. And Samuel looks like he's finally getting a healthy chance to make the splash plays I know he's more than capable of. Absolutely love it. I'd re-sign this entire WR room, including Shavers at this point, as long as the price is fair. Extend himmmm! Lol

Joe is the best bills content creator by a landslide

[@aPaleTroll]

Huge chiefs fan here. I went to Texas Tech and was in Lubbock for the whole time PM15 was there. I think this is the best chance bills have ever had. Josh seems like a guy that is not fighting demons. He doesn’t strike me as a guy that is stressing about how he’s lost these games in the past. I think he is a monster and truely the only QB of this era and maybe ever that can go toe to toe with pat. He is so insanely good it’s hard to comprehend. I just hope this is a banger of a game. I will be rooting like hell against you guys, but in the event you get this one over on us I will be rooting like hell for you guys in the Super bowl. Josh is a hell of a player and deserves a super bowl at some point. Good luck to people of buffalo. This should be a great game!

[@aPaleTroll]

and for gods sake can we get good referees. The calls last week were pretty trash(tbh it wouldn’t have mattered, texans were never winning that game) but I would fucking hate for this game to be ruined by some bad call going either way.

[@quinnjackson9252]

@@adamant5550I think that the best part of the Bills this year is that they don’t think this way. This isn’t like previous years where it’s all about the storylines of “Mahomes having the Bills number” and “McDermott can’t win big games.” This is a team which is relaxed, mature, confident, talented, and hungry. They are going to pound anyone they meet into the ground regardless of storylines and past matchups. Hell, there’s almost nobody left on the team from prior losses to KC. No Diggs, no Poyer, Hyde is 99.99999% retired and never going to play again, no Tre White, etc etc etc. This is a great team with a great QB and great coaches that is going to do great things no matter what anyone tries to do to stop them. They might lose, but they’re not playing to finally get it done, they’re playing to get it done PERIOD. And I love it.

Unsure of the specific pod he was on but Kyle Van Noy made reference to the fact that he and the ravens were surprised in the lack of aggressive throws down field from the Bills. My guess is that they assumed it would be like week 4 when Josh was scrambling around trying to launch it down field. Hence the 2 high safety looks.

That’s the advantage that the losing team has in a rematch- they can see what they did wrong and what the other team did well to scheme around it. The other team won, so it’s very difficult to fix a perfect game. Great scheme by the Bills, way to take advantage of it, and great maturity by Josh Allen. Boy do I hope the Bills don’t make the same mistake against KC- but the Bills are a more mature and cleaner team, so I believe in them.

Since I broke my computer screen when hate watching Kansas City somehow pull of yet another stupid win they shouldn’t have won in week 14, I haven’t watched KC aside from against the Texans. Does their defense struggle against outside receivers? The Texans ran the ball all over them, although I have a feeling that their run defense is going to have a better game this week. I am interested in hearing Joe talk about matchups later this week.

[@LuckyMike26]

@@BillsMafiaExperiencelucky is a nice way of saying not getting phantom DPI calls on Dorian Williams like last year that extends drives to give KC the lead. Lucky is the refs to stopping the bias bullshit that they’ve done in 10/11 playoff games for KC by penalizing the opponents to the tune of an average EPA of 9.5 points per game AVERAGE in the playoffs. If there’s no blatant bullshit calls then it’s going to be Buffalo by 21.

Joe, could not agree more with you! I’m so impressed how they have been so successful at scripting for each team this year, and Josh is being so smart with the ball. No need to throw for 350 yards and try to put on a cape, but lose the game, when you can play smart and win. I’m getting really sick and tired of the national media (most) running to Lamar’s defense as if nothing was his fault and he played an amazing game, and not giving any credit to Josh Allen and the Bills. Drives me nuts!! I think a lot of them voted for Lamar and are still trying trying yo spin it why Lamar should be MVP. With what Josh has been able to achieve with far less talent only highlights why he is the undisputed MVP. I think a lot of media voters forget what the word VALUABLE means in MVP.

That version of Josh Allen wasn't going to do shit. He was alex smith and that bus rider wasn't going to do shit. I miss when we had an amazing qb but this coaching staff has neutered him.

[@Mark-i3p2e]

I agree. This is the fifth year in a row where they have been one of the top teams and favorites to go deep into the playoffs, only to fall short in disappointing fashion. I'm very impressed with them this year as I personally picked them to win nine games tops, and for them to make it to the championship game is really saying something. However, if Kansas City knocks them out for the third time in four years (Cincinnati just toyed with them two years ago IN Buffalo) it's not going to happen for them for a while. Just my opinion but to come THIS far so many years in a row to keep getting knocked back down will have an obvious psychological effect, among other things. My point is when you get THIS close even ONE time, let alone several, you can not keep missing because eventually other teams are going to match and surpass you. You HAVE to grasp it when it's there. It's fitting that they're playing KC again though - they're nemesis, and there is something about this Bills team. I truly believe if they win on Sunday they will win the SB.

@@Mark-i3p2eyou say that, but then remember that this is a freaking rebuild year. We weren’t supposed to be here, we’re just really freaking good on a bad year. It’s the McBean strategy of being repeat contenders. The Bills are super thin on defense and the offense is made up of a bunch of no names- yet it works. Imagine if it was two safeties playing at the level of prime Poyer and Hyde, plus some more robust pass rushers starting for this team? Most of this roster would be backups on other teams, but great coaches giving them a chance along with a hell of a lot of grit have made them shine.

The one thing I would say about the KC game is that the emotional intensity will be great, and I think both teams will be aggressive.

My only concern from the ravens game was something you brought up in your film analysis. Why on earth were we rushing only 3, not to mention the 3 rushers were not our normal 3, not even close to getting to lamar giving him so much time. We simply CANNOT do that against KC. Why werent our normal 4 out there putting pressure? Were we trying to give them a TD as quick as possible to give us as much time as possible for josh to get us in fg range?

[@00laramie]

Very concerned. Mahomes won’t turn the ball over 3 times and Kelce won’t drop those passes. Our dline needs to pressure Mahomes. That will be the biggest factor of this game.

[@dalebechtel8904]

Mahomes will throw a pick or two. The defensive line has to be better

[@nobonesaboutit7639]

He doesn't need to. Their offense is not on the level that Baltimore is.

[@billsfan]

Ravens are a much worse matchup for us than the chiefs

[@quinnjackson9252]

I am less concerned, but it depends on injuries. I’ve said for ages that the Bills have what it takes to win, but they need to be 100% healthy to win the Super Bowl. They have some injuries after a tough battle against the Ravens. Defensively, they did a great job locking down and confusing Mahomes. You can bet your ass that Reid and Mahomes have been scheming away on how to counter that, so this will come down to the Bills defensive ability to throw some new wrinkles at him. I believe that Matt Milano is a critical component of that. Milano has been playing really well. Him being able to go in and add to the confusing linebacker looks that the Bills threw at Mahomes in the first matchup will be a big part of the defense throwing him off, as will using the defenders to counter Kelce. He’s the only person who caught the effing ball for them against the Texans, so lock him the hell down!!! Kansas City’s ability to target the Bills banged up positions worries me. Sean McDermott is an excellent defensive schemer, and Babich has grown on me a lot. They need to have an A+ scheme and game calling ready to go. As for the offense, Kansas City has been struggling against the run lately. The freaking Texans ran the ball all over them, and they were not a notable rushing offense all year long. The Bills have a way better rushing offense than the Ravens, so they need to use their very solid and diverse run game to dice Kansas City up. That being said, I do expect KC’s rushing defense to step up in this game. One little wrinkle that I would like to see Joe Brady throw into this game is lining Shakir up for a rush or two. They lined Diggs up as a running back a couple of times last year, and I really liked it. I also would like to see the Bills complete some nice little passes to unlock the run game if KC takes the run away, rather than running into a wall several times in a row and punting in an attempt to open things up downfield. Everybody can eat on this team, so make sure to let em eat!!!

[@napoleaj01]

Kelce has a beer belly now and love handles. It’s another game where he is allowed to jog off the line and roam around the secondary. Who has #87? Where is #87? Just like the first game (2 catches - 8 yards) the Bills have to have a plan. Against the Texans he’d chip or delay release and was allowed to jog around. He is beyond slow at this point. Other NFL players should be able to run right with him.

Now that the Ravns have lost, those same Ravens fans are sending threats to their own Ravens players after trying to portray the Bills fans as the toxic ones, when they were basically provoked and encouraged to be toxic by the media's r@cebaiting .

[@TyButts-b3z]

Hey there Joe i have a question for you personally idk if there’s a right or wrong answer,I think n it’s more a matter of opinion but would like your take on it, but it’s it just me or does Kincaid seem less effective overall than Knox despite being more skilled as a pass catcher n overall player?? I know Knox’ chemistry with Allen is probably far better having played with him longer but Kincaid has had 2 full seasons with JA17 and to me has been highly underwhelming especially for a 1st round pick, and personally I’m kinda concerned he’s never gonna be a very effective option is our offense although If he goes somewhere else after his rookie deal i think he might go ball out somewhere else, I’m curious what you think about this and what you think the issues are if any bc I know you were high on him in the draft but especially coming into this season and do you think we’ll ever get the most out of him or is this his ceiling or is something we’re doing wrong??

Nice.

[@matthewmolina3326]

If we ever get to a point in crunch time I’d love to see the Bills call a drive the same way Notre Dame ran to start the Natty. Call 15 straight plays where Allen is running the option play where he can either hand it off or run it himself. I don’t think any team could prevent Allen from getting 10 yards with him running the ball on 4 straight downs. It’s time now to bring everything out. No longer necessary to worry about not having Allen take hits. It’s time for him to put his shoulder into defenders.

This is a huge game for Matthew Smiley

[@diggerblair7460]

We have to be better down in the redzone on that 3rd down think josh going up the middle was bad call either rollout or hand it to cook or davis i do understand leaving it in Josh's hands just wish it was better execution and really hated the defense last Baltimore drive why give lamar all day to throw when every db says its impossible to cover for 7 seconds why not rush 4 i stead of 2 or 3 and injuries killed or secondary bishop not ready against mahomes

[@ekim0513]

"Games are lost more than they are won." Bills should post that all over their locker room & make it their mantra.

[@David-uh8bx]

If I hear one more Bills podcast that describes Josh Allen and the offense as being efficient in the victory over the Ravens, l’m going to scream! A safe, conservative offensive game plan may not be enough to beat the Chiefs. Go Bills!

[@Suanne5408]

Our team has gone through that like the Bass missed field goal and he also received death threats. Not sure why fans would do that since it is not appropriate. No matter what your job is, we all have bad days when things don’t go the way you anticipated.

[@alwaysquestiongov]

OK Joe I know you’ve been told this before but it’s freaky how much you look like Josh Allen

[@davidchase8170]

I think cooper will come alive when it’s on the line, this game or the Super Bowl if they make it

[@scottblakely4419]

Andrews threats from fans is the one side of the NFL fan base that is disgusting! It really makes me angry ! Same happened with Bass to a certain degree last year! 😢Stay classy Mafia! We’re so much better than that behavior.

[@sarahchristine2345]

You mean the same toxic fanbase that resorted to personal attacks on Josh Allen & relentless social media trolling all season long in order to prop their own QB up, then resorted to actual threats against players when their team inevitably choked again in the playoffs?!! I’m shocked I tell you, SHOCKED!!! Well, not that shocked 😉

[@sarahchristine2345]

I’m surprised to hear that about Bass tho cuz the overall mindset I saw was that even if we’d made that FG KC was just gonna march down the field and score again anyway cuz we left them too much time. Disappointing to hear for sure cuz we’re better than that… but EVERY fanbase has a few idiots, BAL just seems to have more than most

[@quinnjackson9252]

I am really guilty that I posted f*** Bass after that miss last year. I deleted it immediately after, and have felt nothing but guilt since. It’s easy to get caught up and forget that this is just a game played by real humans with real feelings. I love Bass and haven’t worried about him once since got that 63 yarder. A lot else had to go wrong in that game for a single players mistakes to matter. I didn’t threaten him I was just emotional and upset though, and seeing the threats is just disgusting. The only thing I threaten is that stupid rat thing that Kansas City has that shakes the goal post during kick attempts. I am not looking forward to seeing that stupid thing again.

[@rickysmith7948]

Joe Marino is CORRECT.. I thought they got conservative. I would like to agree with you now. go with that.Pacheko worries me but I'm not sure he 100% .

[@salerkal9058]

Will Rapp play?

[@charleslamb708]

Who do you think takes over for Joe Brady next year

[@mpelectric1]

In the off season it may be time to unload Douglas (dropped off since last year) and Dawson Knox (maybe a trade)

[@retrocny5625]

Not sure about Dawson, because Kincaid simply hasn't developed as much as I'd really like and I think Dawson is better in the run game. I'm still waiting for Kincaid to take that next step. Was kinda hoping he'd be on the same level as someone like Sam LaPorta since they were drafted at the same time, but we'll see. Dawson is a pretty big cap hit for a TE2, but I just think he's a major part of the team. It'd really depend on what you can get for him. Rasul on the other hand, yeah. He's definitely falling off. He's not a guy who has long speed, he's at his best when he can play either man with safety help or in flat zones, in cover 2 looks where he can squat and jump underneath routes. Rasul has gotten beat a lot this year, he's made some really bad decisions in redzone/goal line situations(including the TD he gave up to Noah Gray in the Chiefs game earlier this season, because he got baited to try and tackle mahomes who was scrambling, rather than stay in his area of responsibility). He doesn't have great short area quickness, he's getting older, he's gotten a lot of flags thrown on him for holding and DPI this season because of his decline and how often he's finding himself beat. The Bills need to look to either trade for or add another boundary corner in the offseason. They need a guy with some real long speed and athleticism. Benford isn't the fastest guy either but he's young and still improving a lot and he's had a pretty solid season. Not sure what the free agent market is gonna look like this year, but I think this position is one where the Bills should consider looking to sign in free agency or make a splash trade to acquire an established corner. The Bills secondary just needs more speed and athleticism in general. The Bills are ranked pretty poorly in terms of overall team speed, in general.

[@quinnjackson9252]

@@retrocny5625​​⁠I’d never get rid of Knox. He’s a really well balanced tight end, a great teammate, and a solid part of this team. I think that Kincaid just needs some more time to improve, and that the everybody eats offense hasn’t really given him the focus he needs to grow into an elite guy. I also don’t really think that he has gotten many good matchups this year. Throw in the injury and I think he has lots of good football left to be unlocked. I like a lot of the plays he’s made. I also agree that the Bills need some more speed on defense, but I trust McDermott and Bean. Remember, this is a freaking rebuild year, and they are playing better than expected. The Bills need more all around depth, some more at safety, corner, and D-line. I really like how well Rapp and Hamlin have played, but I think that this is a one-off, and Hamlin may not be a starter next year, which is sad. The Bills do have Bishop, who I think will be the starter soon, but if Hamlin leaves, I do think they’ll need another piece there. However, that’s not really too expensive or urgent of a need, especially given Sean McDermott’s track record there. I think that the best thing to do would be to invest in a solid corner in free agency, trade up for an elite pass rusher, use the next highest pick for another offensive weapon, and use the rest on adding depth and filling holes. My biggest concern is losing Joe Brady. If we lose Brady, I want to resign Cooper. If Cooper is too-expensive, we need to invest in a replacement and another weapon. I really want Brady back for one more year to really make sure that Josh Allen 2.0 is carved in stone, giving him the ability to more or less be his own OC, like Tom Brady was. Once Josh Allen has perfected that ability, he will be fine with a more managerial OC, rather than one who needs to be perfect for the offense to succeed. Wait, why are we focusing on the off season? We’ve still got two more games to win! On to Kansas City!!!

[@regice5650]

Joe you’re 100% right. Brady is the poster child for just win the game How ever it takes. I’ve seen him win with 150 yds passing not a td’s all fg’s and 400 yds passing and 4td’s what ever it took.

Hey Joe..asking for a freind why dont they do Ref selection for big games like they do jury selection make football 🏈 great again like before the kanas city swifties

Yes! At the last minute they should swap the refs for the NFC and AFC Championship games!

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

Chiefs had a few players out that day … they are better now …

[@caseyscollection]

Since you're bringing it up... Allen was playing with an injured hand with Coleman and Kincaid out, and many others fresh off injuries playing hurt... Hopefully Benford and Rapp feel better for this game, but the team playing this time around is MUCH healthier.

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

@ I am just praying the D can make some stops …. Last years game ..that was not the case …. Chiefs only had 5 3rd down attempts ..they had chunk after chunk plays … only 1 punt … bass missed FG … diggs dropped bomb … Allen missed Davis in end zone … bills outplayed them statistically … same with the 13 sec game … the D has to make stops ….and last drive give away vs Ravens concerns me … that was the time the D had to step up, and it failed again

One can always measure the offense performance by "points per game".

[@adamant5550]

Not really because ppg also factors in defensive TDs
