Mostly because of Dq I no longer am interested in a competitive game with BUF. I hope that the Bills team that played BAL so poorly is the one we get on Sunday, so we just simply annihilate them for three quarters. It would be great if Andy had a reason to punish them, but the HC is a friend of his, I guess that's out of the question. [Reply]
Bills are a good team. You don't make the AFCCG without being good. KC should win the game unless they turn it over too many times. In some ways they are the polar opposite of Baltimore. If they commit to running and do it well it should be a close game. [Reply]

If you look deeper you'd see this isn't actually the case. Pittsburgh can't run...they average 3.6 YPC. Bills RBs average 4.5 YPC which is slightly above average. Also had 2 games with close to 200 yards rushing against the Chargers and Patriots.
I think the more accurate statement would be the Bills are disinterested in running. [Reply]

How much of that is because of the threat of the pass? Lighter boxes mean fewer defenders to stop the run at the LOS. [Reply]

this in a nutshell.
BAL doesn't really have a passing attack, but can run the ball and they have a good defense, that can get after the QB.
BUF has a top-10 passing attack (sometimes when the weather is good/harness-less/Mars is in the 11th House), but no run game really, and their defense is good vs. the pass, but not against the run, and they have trouble getting to the passer.
If you could take these two teams and meld them together, you'd get a really good football team. Josh Allen at QB, Lamar at HB, Diggs/Beasley/Brown at WR, Andrews at TE and so on . . . [Reply]
