The Buffalo Bills have all sorts of issues going into Sunday’s game against undefeated Kansas City. The quarterback position is again in question as Thad Lewis is fighting the flu and a rib injury. That means either Tuel or Matt Flynn could be behind center. Regardless, the Bills can’t expect the QB to win the game for them.
If the Bills have a chance to beat the Chiefs they will need above average games from their running backs and plenty of turnovers by the Defense.
It’s looking more and more like CJ Spiller will be in the lineup on a limited basis. Spiller gives the Bills a true break-away threat, even with a bad ankle.
Kansas City will not feel threatened downfield by any of the three quarterbacks mentioned above so like the last three opponents they will bring up the Safety to stuff the running game. That means Jackson, Choice and Spiller plus the “O” line will need to find a way to overcome Kansas City flooding the “box”.
Defensively the Bills are getting healthier every week and they are going to have to return to their ball-hawking attach as they did against Miami. Chiefs QB Alex Smith also likes to run the ball, so the linebackers need to keep an eye in the back field.
All of what I just wrote deals with what the Bills need to do, but the reason why I believe Buffalo has a fighting chance has more to do with Kansas City. The Chiefs are 8-0, but five of those wins are against very beatable teams and at home. The Chiefs have a bye week after Buffalo and then a huge game against Division rival Denver. I believe KC will look past the 3-5 Bills and may take the bye week early.
It a stunner I’ll take the Bills 24-21!
