I can guarantee you the Bills defensive coaches don't agree with you at all.
Nah, I don't think previous matchups really make much difference once we get to this point. Look at Saints Bucs. Last years Titans Chiefs games etc.
It's something to go off for sure, but in terms of it being much of a predictor, I dunno. [Reply]

A predictor, no. Not really.
Part of the game planning? Absolutely.
But that all being said, the way in which the Chiefs beat them does lend context to the upcoming game. The way the Bills played worked for other teams but it didn't work for the Bills. They gave up 250 yards rushing and still allowed Mahomes an 80% completion percentage.
That's relevant to the upcoming game because the Bills are really caught in a vice. They either have to radically change their defensive game plan and hope it doesn't implode or they have to repeat what they did before and hope that it works this time.

All they really have is hope.
If it were in week say, 15 or something, I'd put more weight on it.
Being so long ago, teams change so much. They'll get some stuff from it of what to or not do, but in the end, it's gonna come down to the same thing every team has to do.
You can't play this bullshit "run and keep the ball away" thing because the Chiefs are gonna score. It doesn't matter what you do. So you've gotta outscore them.
If Josh Allen plays an MVP level game, it'll be a good close game. If he doesn't they'll lose. [Reply]
