Are the Bills overhyped?

Update: Yes, the Bills were overhyped.

The Bills have played almost flawless football, especially compared to their norm. KC has not.

I’ve never understood this argument from fans.

“We messed up a lot, but if we didn’t, we would be better than you!!!”

“You messed up very little, but if you messed up more, we would be better than you!”

It’s just a ridiculous argument. Any team could make this argument. The Texans could make this argument.

Especially after 3 straight games of the same performance. It’s no longer a fluke at that point.

Bills will practice for the first time this week, today.

Buffalo has had a driving ban since last Saturday.

Definitely possible.

Bills march up well with the Bengals but Any Given Sunday and the Bengals are hot right now.

Did I say that? I guess it's easier to make up arguments than to counter facts.

KC doesn't have to make excuses. They've won 3 of 5 and the two that mattered most. One of which wasn't even competitive. Excuses are the Bills' thing.

The odds aren't in favor of Allen continuing to make zero mistakes vs KC while being a turnover machine vs everyone else. It's not that complicated.

Yeah, they're having what, their 2nd or 3rd snowstorm of the century this month?

you match up horribly with them

this is a terrible time for turnover machine josh to be playing a defense like cincy's, and they have the weapons on offense to destroy you without von

I totally disagree. But that doesn’t mean the Bills can’t lose. They definitely can.

If you look at who Cinci struggles with, it’s teams with physical line play. Baltimore, Cleveland, Pitt, etc. The Bills have a very physical line on both sides of the ball and that’s usually what Cinci struggles with. It’s also what can slow down KC which is why they built the roster like that.

KC didn’t struggle last year in the playoffs against that line. As such the Bills brought in Von to pressure Mahomes. It worked earlier this year, but Von is done. Let’s see how well this line plays against KC if they meet again.

I think if they play in the playoffs it’ll be a similar shootout as last year. Refs throw way less flags in the playoffs to encourage higher scoring games. Defense essentially goes out the window.

Perhaps it will be a shootout. Granted I don’t expect Chiefs CBs to fall down and give up easy gimmie touchdowns this time around.

Is it ever the other team causing these things or is it always the Chiefs just messing up? Seems to be a recurring theme. Can’t be that Davis ram a sick route that broke the ankles of the DB. It’s just “the cb dell down”.

That 4th down route of Davis was nasty. maybe a better cornerback doesn’t fall down, but they do at least get shook. And he is still open.

Sigh.
