On the flip side, the Chiefs didn't really focus on throwing the ball downfield last time and the Bills can't match the Chiefs in the speed and quickness department. Despite that fact, Mahomes was still surgical. I see Andy opening it up this time around.
Bills bread and butter are 15-25 yard intermediate routes. They don't throw "deep" a lot based on what most people would consider go routes or deep posts 40 and 50 yards downfield, but they do get a lot of their chunk plays on deep overs, deep comebacks and sideline scramble drills.
Bills are not going to allow the Chiefs to beat them deep. We have what might be the best safety combination in the NFL in Poyer and Hyde and they are exceptional at taking those throws away. Have allowed the fewest number of those pretty much every season they have been together. A lot of teams don't even bother trying them. Bills play a lot of 2 high safety looks and disguise coverages sometimes post-snap even. TE's in the middle of the field can give them issues tho, although they did a decent job holding Kelce to 6 for 65 last game. Bills also have a tendency to allow too much yardage on swing and flat routes by RBs to the outside. [Reply]

There's also the fact that they aren't posting at the same time. It's either one or the other but not both. [Reply]

Game plan was to pound the ball and hit Kelce on occasion, when needed. Kelce can go for 8 and 100 on the Bills whenever he’d like. Hell, Jack Doyle whose not even the most athletic TE on his own team just roasted them. [Reply]

Is that dude here to talk about football or be a fucking detective? If he is, tell him don't quit his day job because his theory is wrong. Seems like he is trying to make the evidence fit what he believes to be true instead of allowing the evidence to help him decide what to believe. Epic fail. [Reply]

Serious question. Do you think the Bills are going to let KC control the middle of the field and gouge them in the running game again by keeping those safeties deep for 60 minutes? If the Bills don't change what they did last time, it's going to be the same game all over again. They almost have to gamble on taking away the short stuff at the risk of Hill and Hardman torching them deep. And if they do that, it's a difficult task. What is Buffalo's play here? [Reply]
