I need reassurance, does anybody feel remotely confident?

Land Clark was the lead ref in the Bills loss.

We last lost with Clete Blakeman on the Xmas disaster vs the Raiders and we deserved that L. He hasn’t been apart of our losses before that since like 2021.

WTF would you not feel confident in the 16-2 KC Chiefs who are undefeated at home this year?

5 HOF players, a HOF coach and several other All Pro caliber players on the roster AND the refs are in our pocket from what I hear.

Put your house on it.

I think we held back in the regular season game both offensively and defensively.

We’re healthier on both sides of the ball and the LT disaster has been largely fixed. Bills have some key injuries.

I feel pretty optimistic.

So Benford, Johnson, Rapp and Milano are all banged up? I'm not gonna be surprised to see them all play next Sunday but clearly that game yesterday took it's toll on Buffalo.

Uh, idk.

Two time defending champions with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, among other things?

That do anything for ya?

Not surprising considering the Bills field is turf and they have no heating system. The game was pretty much played on concrete

Their safeties are a weakness even if they are at 100%.


This time we need to actually attack them.

Right. Every game has basically been decided by 1-2 plays. Guys saying they’re supremely confident are lying. Bills offense is better than ours that’s a fact. Our D is probably better than their’s. So…whoever doesn’t turn the ball over wins.

[RunKC]

Josh Allen didn’t play well last night passing the ball. He just didn’t make any mistakes.

They have been elite at moving lineman and running the ball, whether that’s with Cook or Allen himself.

Put Trent on Shakir all game and crowd the box using manipulation. Stop the run and force them in 3rd and long and we got this.

Bills will give us a good fight. Though their defense is small and lacks talent, they seem to be greater than the sum of their parts.

Obviously Josh Allen is always a concern.

Also, I think losing so frequently to us has changed McDermott. Expect them to go for it on pretty much any and every 4th and 2 or less beyond midfield. I’ll also expect them to go for it on 4th down late in the game instead of giving the ball back to our offense willingly if it comes to that.

.. But we’ve got Reid and Mahomes. Kelce is getting fired up. We’ll have Hollywood back. Kareem had a good game against them first go ‘round and he should be pretty rested now. We had Wanya at LT last time; it should be better with Thuney.

If you don’t feel confident after these last few years, you just ain’t got it in ya, big dawg.

Confident? Absolutely not. Josh Allen is going to end up being a top 5 QB of all time and we've now been given a referee who was the central figure of one of the biggest screwjobs in a football game over the last decade (which came at our expense).

Mahomes is still Mahomes, but this will be his toughest challenge of his career.

Prepare for desperation from the opening snap.

I expect the Bills to be really stupid in this game.
