Welcome, welcome good friends-let’s keep the ball rolling.

To The Game!

Chiefs/Bills:

-Room To Roam: Pacheco and his hard-hitting running style should be difficult to deal with given the serious injury issues Buffalo has at interior linebacker. Bernard and Spector didn’t practice on Thursday and Dodson was limited.

-More Owchies: With wr Davis out and Diggs being suspect (Sneed held him to 24 yards in week 14 and he was also limited on Friday) this may be time for Khalil “Hippy, Hippy Shake” Shakir to be a difference-maker. His TD last week gave an indication of how elusive he can be.

-K.C. will need to take care of the ball-Buffalo generated 30 turnovers this season.

-A Thought: I myself believe that the Bills chances of winning (outside of Allen going bananas) hinges on their use of rb Cook in the running and short-passing game. He has much to contribute but for some reason Buffalo’s OC’s have a history of deploying their backs in erratic and unimaginative ways.

-Ref Alert: Be prepared for a sketchy ‘roughing the passer’ call at some point. Reffing this game is Hochuli Jr. and he’s thrown that kind of flag 14 times, which is 5 more than any other of his peers.

-Triple Duty?: Chiefs middle linebacker Nick Bolton’s responsibilities will include covering tight end Kincaid, mirroring Josh Allen and bottling up Cook in the run/pass game. That’s a tall order.

Push them buttons.
