Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
As they should be. I'm surprised it's not more points. This is a very good bet on KC. -
Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
KC has a top rated defense and our offense is anemic. That being said, it's at home, so anything can happen and KC is not the same team on the road for hte most part.Comment

Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
The whole season rests on winning all these next 4 games.
Other than the Jets, these are 3 tough games against 5-3 teams.
There simply isn't 2 wins in our last 4 games.Comment

Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
Wait a minute, now you're saying that our offense is anemic? I haven't been that critical and you've incessantly hammered me for my statements on the O.Originally posted by trapezeus View Post
I thought we had premier WRs including one of the league's biggest game-busters.
How can it possibly be anemic?
After answering those, please feel free to explain what that "fine line" is between when other people criticize the offense and when you do?http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
Very close. They are doing a variety run play, sreen, sweeps etc and doing them effectively. The Vikings games is probably a blueprint for them.Originally posted by casdhf View Post
I feel, however, quite good about the matchup, as long as we don't beat ourselves (read: turnovers).Comment

Re: Not Surprising - the Bills are underdog to the Chiefs
I wouldn't call our offense anemic.Originally posted by trapezeus View Post
But Kansas City does have a good defense. The Chiefs have given up the second fewest points in the league. The good news is that the Bills have already beaten the team that has allowed the fewest points in the league, which is Detroit. Yeah, both Detroit and Kansas City have already had their bye-weeks, but the team that has allowed the fewest points after nine games have allowed around 40 more points than the Chiefs. So that's pretty accurate, at least as far as that goes...
Stats are NEVER the end-all; in fact there are too many variables that play in to trust them all that much. You gotta look at them with a grain of salt. For example, if you want to look at numbers, you gotta keep in mind that the Chiefs have only had 476 defensive plays from scrimmage...only 2 teams have seen fewer. There could be several reasons for that.
But the Chiefs are currently the #1 passing defense in terms of yards-per-game, but then again only 3 teams have seen fewer passing attempts against them. They are also 8th in average-per-pass...already having their bye wouldn't really affect those stats if you really want to compare them to other teams. They are tied for third in sacks. But only 4 other teams have had fewer defensive INTs. They are tied for 12th in passing TDs allowed.
Against the run, the Chiefs are only 19th in terms of yards-per-game that they've allowed, and only FOUR teams have allowed more yards-per-carry. They haven't given up a rushing TD yet this year, though. I think it's possible to see a surge in the Bills running game this week with Dixon and Brown. Little mistakes killed us last week in that regard, and the Jets are considerably better against the run than the Chiefs IMO. I'd like to see Bryce Brown get more carries.
I think the Bills' defense is more well-rounded than the Chiefs'.
If the Bills offense is "anemic," then the Chiefs offense isn't that much better. The Chiefs are currently ranked 20th in yards-per-game, while the Bills are ranked 24th. Granted, the Bills' top-two running backs are out, but we played half of our games with EJ Manuel at the helm. Orton is clearly better.
The Chiefs like to run a lot, and they are pretty good at it. 243 rushing attempts by the chiefs, and 246 passing attempts by the chiefs...so it's right around 50/50. But only 2 other teams have fewer yards-per-game passing the football than the Chiefs. Meanwhile, they are 6th in yards-per-game running the football. Among the teams that have only played 8 games, only ONE team has run the ball more than the Chiefs...besides the Browns, all other teams with more rushing attempts have played nine games. They're still 8th. The Bills are pretty good stopping the run so far this year.
By the way, the Chiefs have played the Titans, Broncos, Dolphins, Patriots, 49ers, Chargers, Rams, and Jets.
Anyway, I'm not usually a stats guy. Don't even know where I'm headed with this post. Perhaps the Bills bye-week has rendered me bored.
It's all about match-ups in the end. Good teams have bad days, and vice-versa. The ball bounces strangely, penalties, etc. I just think that the Bills match-up pretty well against the Chiefs.
Very important that the Bills win this game.Last edited by feldspar; 11-03-2014, 10:27 AM.Comment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
