This is one of the many things that I have anxiety about. I hope if he starts to do crazy things, somebody smacks him and tells him to calm down.

Yes, you have the advantage, that's why I'm praying for the upset. :-) [Reply]

I think they have a better OL. Our OL is probably our biggest Achilles heel. I don't think the bills have the DL to really expose that weakness though. [Reply]

It only stands to reason that our WR's will see a drop in production when the TE is absorbing 105 receptions....
Your logic is extremely flawed. You can't use stats to evaluate this.
You go player by player.
Tyreek vs Diggs. Give me Tyreek.
Watkins vs Beasley. Watkins is a better talent, Beasley can stay on the field though.
Robinson vs Brown. I don't know enough about Brown to say...
Hardman vs Davis. Again, i don't know enough about Davis to make an argument, but Hardman is a damn good player.

Beasley is a quiet acquisition I'd love to see us poach, if not for the straight up production and the threat opposite Tyreek, certainly for the reliability. [Reply]

It's really close. You could make an argument for either Hill or Diggs being the best WR on the field.
Beasley is dependable, much more dependable than Watkins, but that's the only thing he has. Watkins can blow a game open when he's healthy, which gives him an edge there. I think for sheer production though, it's arguable they even out - what Beasley has in quantity, Watkins make up for in quality.
With Hardman and Davis, you have a similar argument. Hardman is unquestionably the bigger threat, but Davis is going to give you a higher number of catches.
Where this leads me is this:
Over a 16-game season, the Bills probably have the advantage.
But in a 1-game playoff, the Chiefs WR corps is just fucking scary. The Bills don't really have a guy that can take the top completely off a defense. The Chiefs have THREE. [Reply]

Well, first of all, you're comparing the wrong players. Brown and Watkins are the comparable ones here, since they're ideally the #2 WR for each respective team when they can be bothered to suit up.
Hill and Diggs is a wash in my mind. They're both top 5 WRs today.
Watkins and Brown skews heavily towards Brown since this is the first year he's really been hampered by injury and he's been far more productive than Sammy in their respective roles.
Beasley and Hardman isn't even a contest. Hardman hasn't really blossomed into his full potential yet but Beasley is a monster out of the slot.
Robinson and Davis, who gives a shit. If you're relying on them for more than the occasional catch you're probably in the shit anyway. [Reply]

I predict a comfortable double digit win.
This is not very accurate at all. Beasley has been on the injury report all of January and has played, and played pretty well. Expecting that he does not play seems very unlikely. John Brown seemed to eat up his stats last week. Diggs is not even worth mentioning, he is playing with near 100% certainty. Davis is the only one I see having any chance of not playing and even that would be somewhat surprising IMO.
I expect a KC win as well but this is an absurd take. [Reply]

Tyreek Hill forces defenses to play unorthodox coverages that Diggs just doesn't command. Hill is a much more rare skillset. We've seen guys like Diggs.
Tyreek is a more versatile receiver. He and Mahomes kicked off this trend of forcing safeties to play 30 yards back and made 3 DL/ 8 in the secondary a thing again.
Tyreek just puts so much more stress on a defense in a multitude of ways that Diggs simply does not.
Im not trying to slight Diggs, its just that Tyreek is just a whole other kind of monster. [Reply]

This is true. That's why I said in a 1-game playoff, the Chiefs are downright scary.
Hardman and Tyreek can take the top of the defense RUNNING THE BALL. :-) [Reply]
