Hmm...I only watched casually watched like 5 minutes of it. Didn't realize they were that depleted...
I do suspect that if KC plays the Bengals again...they'll force Burrow match points with them using his other WRs.
That was a one time occurrence...at least to that level. Chase was essentially their offense... [Reply]

Lies.
Pats starters are Jackson, McCourty, Duggar and Mills.
Their depth CB’s are Miles Bryant and Jojuan Williams.
I think the Bills are the more complete team. They're tough and Allen is playing well.
Bengals have some weaknesses like their offensive line and Eli Apple as one of their starting CBs. But the difference is they are just loaded at WR and we play aggressive on D. If our pass rush doesn't get there against them then you're going to have Chase, Higgins and Boyd running wild in single coverage on our DBs. They'll burn you eventually. [Reply]

Didn't Buffalo get one extra day's rest last year against the Chiefs? Should honestly be a non-issue, unless some Buffalo player is literally cleared to play on Sunday but not Saturday. [Reply]

You’re right it happened last year. Still not cool to see Brady’s team getting favorable treatment as usual. KC got screwed because of greed from NBC. [Reply]
Tre'Davious White being out for the Bills is really the critical difference in their defense from our first matchup. This will allow us to use Hill in ways we couldn't for the first game.
But, they're still excellent. It's going to be a battle unless Bad Allen shows up. [Reply]
