Will fix everything
I’m looking for Ray Davis to be a major force on Sunday. He’ll get lots of opportunity.

They are the #3 run defense. The last 2 games vs KC, Cook was held to 32 and 61 yards.

Ray Davis is a HARD runner, the issue is for him to have a big impact, we are going to have to hold onto the ball for longer.

KC is winning games by winning the Time of possession battle and keeping drives alive.

I go back to the Miami game where they dinked and dunked down the field on us and kept the drives alive. That is what KC is doing. I mean, we have to essentially force them into 3rd and longs and take advantage of the weakness on the outside of their O-line.

They are situationally perfect in close games. Yes, occasionally that is going to lead to them being on the wrong side of a game winning field goal. Overall, it just leads other teams to beat themselves.

I honestly think we probably win on Sunday. Their defense is due for a stinker and the lack of tape on us with Cooper could cause problems for them. My big concern is no kincaid.

I went with Buffalo in my pick-ems, but I think KC takes this one. I just don't foresee Buffalo's offense being consistent enough to put up 20+, and they haven't faced a defense as good as KC's. Couple that with the injuries on O (including players playing at below 100%), and I think KC wins this game. I also think Reid is going to take advantage of our defense. Lots of run plays + Mahomes taking advantage of the zone with dink and dunk throws.

But, if this squad gets a healthy Milano going into Jan, and plays KC healthy, then there's a good chance we can get revenge in Jan. Let's just hope KC is the team dealing with a wealth of injuries this time around. I still believe we win that game with a relatively healthy LB core.

Oyeee...I believe we could've gone all the way last year if not for injuries. It's my biggest 'what if' in Buffalo sports since the 06 Sabres defense got obliterated by injuries against CAR. An even bigger 'what if' than the 13 seconds debacle because I think there's a better chance we lose against CINCY than Baltimore.

Having Bernard back after missing the playoff game last year, along with being healthier at CB, gives me some hope that the Bills can be better on 3rd down defensively than they were last time out vs KC.

The Bills LBs and secondary was decimated by injury with Taron Johnson being the only LB or CB starter that was healthy that game.

Bernard, Milano, and Benford all missed the game. And Douglas was nowhere near 100%.

Kincaid out per McD (taking one week at a time)

Brown, Cooper Questionable/Limited today

Kincaid another player who needs to learn how to fall better when possible, not the first time he's been banged up diving for a catch
