While we’re getting some guys back from injury, they are as well. IIRC, they were missing Coleman and Cooper had just been acquired a few weeks prior.

They’ll also be getting Milano back, though I am hearing he sustained a leg injury late in the Ravens game.

If KC can protect the ball and avoid turning it over, it has the answers it needs.

They didn't have Kincaid in the last game. That's easily their biggest offensive "addition" given our difficulty with TEs.

Kincaid and Knox in many ways are my primary worries in the passing game. I think we have answers for the others. Those two are more problematic given our weaknesses with the LB core.

Nick Jacobs says we didn’t deploy a spy a single time in the November matchup.

You don't need a spy when everyone is looking at the QB.

The fail on that play was Jones and Karlaftis spreading out like Jenna Jameson.

Why we BEAT Allen last postseason was pocket compression.

In the words of DL Coach Cullen: "I DO NOT WANT THE RIGHT END WINNING UPFIELD."

One of the 2-3 biggest storylines for me is what’s the plan for Hopkins and offensive personnel as a whole this Sunday.

On one hand, 16 snaps ain’t near enough. Not when he could be our answer down inside the red zone for Mahomes.

On the other, I don’t think this banged up Bills secondary can keep up with Worthy and Brown. Like, I think they might be running wide open more than we’ve seen against any team since Brown’s return.

But, Buffalo loves to stay in nickel and countering that with 12 personnel is a nice option when your TE2 is Noah Gray.

I think we’ll continue to see a heavy dose of 12, with the two speedsters at WR to stress the secondary.

However when they do go 11, there has to be more Hopkins. Just has to be. He needs to be out there on every red zone play even if it is 12 personnel — he should take Brown’s place in those spots because his speed isn’t impactful as much down there.

It's when the O-line struggles and Mahomes gets happy feet that the offense stalls. A steady run game would help too but Andy doesn't like that and the O-line hasn't blocked well for many weeks in the run game.

I believe Buffalo played lots of man during the last meeting but that was before Hollywood Brown entered the lineup. With their injuries in the secondary, they're unlikely to try the same strategy.

Also, Reid/Spags aren't the only coaches who may be holding back plays in the regular season. I'm sure Buffalo's coaches have several new wrinkles as well they were saving in their packages and play designs.
