I understand that but he was pretty damn sticky in those 2 quarters. Fenton is so damn grabby that I would wager he gets at least 2 PI calls against the Bills on Sunday. [Reply]

The reality is that we need to contain Davis. He has become Allen’s Tyreek. He chucks it deep and Davis takes it from there. That’s why Allen put up monster numbers yesterday and why our playoff game was far closer than it should have been. [Reply]

I expect to see more shells again. The Chiefs have been doing a lot of the stuff that other teams did to them last year. They're going to play deep coverage against the Bills and dare them to run the ball. We'll see if it works. [Reply]

The Cardinals had no WRs even close to what Buffalo has in that game. And Murray is nowhere near the caliber of QB that Allen is. This could be a rough game for McDuffie. Hope I am wrong though. [Reply]

It definitely could be a rough game for him, I just hope he's healthy enough that we find out. [Reply]

If KC can limit the big play I see this being a win for the good guys. If Allen is allowed to play “F it, Davis is down there somewhere” we could see a shootout. I would love for KC to just grind out a win by running it, but I fear it will be a passing show as Mahomes will want to remind everyone who the best QB in the league is.
Honestly Buffalo is good, but they are not the unstoppable force everyone is making the out to be. They lost to Miami and came very close to losing to Baltimore. I unfortunately watched their game against Pitt and a lot of their completions were a product of great catches. They were in a zone yesterday and that should not be considered the norm, but the exception. [Reply]

Hopefully the run game continues to be a factor as it was against the Bucs. Mahomes will need to stay focused on getting first downs, even if that means taking the shorter checkdown throws. Some long TD drives that run a lot of clock would be pretty helpful. Keep Allen on the sidelines and give KC defense more rest as well. [Reply]

Run him into Bolton and watch him get lit up! [Reply]
