I hate their fans more than I hate them. I had to listen to this fucker tell me he hoped the Chiefs injured Allen. Piece of shit, if I see him next week I am gonna hope he slips crossing the street in front of a steam roller. Yeah, I hate Kansas City as it is, I hate the fans because they are more smug and insufferable than Pats fans were, just terrible. I hate it here.
 
I dont hate them. I mean Kelce is an ass with an IQ of about minus 120. Mahomes is a decent dude although he's become more annoying the past 2 seasons. Reid is a solid guy IMO too. I do hate the preferential calls that go their way and how that has clearly influenced their record. This year more than any other.
That's what I hate. The calls that NE used to get, go to KC now.
The key to beating them is survive the last play of the game

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, coach Sean McDermott said Friday.

Kincaid suffered a knee injury during last weekend’s road win over the Indianapolis Colts and did not participate in practices Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Kincaid leads the Bills in receiving targets (59) through 10 games and has 34 catches for 356 yards and two touchdowns this season.

The AFC East-leading Bills (8-2), who have won five consecutive games, host the AFC West-leading Chiefs (9-0), the league’s only remaining undefeated team, at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

What Kincaid’s absence means for Sunday’s game​

Kincaid’s absence was the expected move after he left last weekend’s game twice with the knee injury.

On the bright side, he’ll be replaced by longtime Bills tight end Dawson Knox, the clear starter before Buffalo drafted Kincaid in 2023. If there is someone who knows the offense, knows how to work with Josh Allen and has had some big moments against the Chiefs in the past, it’s Knox.

Plus, the Bills might get top receiver Amari Cooper back in the lineup for this game, as he said he’s trending in the right direction to play. It would be a massive addition with Kincaid and rookie receiver Keon Coleman declared out for the game.


However, comparatively, Knox is a limited athlete to what Kincaid brings to the Bills’ offense. The Bills like to run a fair share of 12 personnel looks with two tight ends, having done so on 20 percent of their snaps this season.

While they like third-string tight end Quintin Morris, that piece of their game plan might fall off a bit without Kincaid, making them slightly more predictable against a great Chiefs defense.

The Bills will need to lean on Knox, Cooper, Khalil Shakir and their run game to put enough points on the board to give the undefeated Chiefs their first loss of the season. — Joe Buscaglia, Bills beat writer

Bills-Chiefs: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday's game​


Jay Skurski​

The bye week can't come soon enough for the Bills, who really need to get healthy. They've held things together quite well in the face of so many injuries to their wide receivers, and now tight end Dalton Kincaid, but it is going to catch up to them at some point. The Chiefs have a top-five defense in both yards and points allowed. They are great at defending the run. Without Kincaid and Keon Coleman, and Amari Cooper at less than 100% if he plays, that is asking too much of the Bills' offense in this game. The Bills' plus-13 turnover differential leads the league. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw nine interceptions in his team's first seven games, but hasn't thrown a pick in each of the past two weeks. If Mahomes plays a clean game, it's hard to envision the Bills outscoring him. Chiefs, 24-20.

Katherine Fitzgerald​

The injuries for the Bills worry me, but they’ve also shown they can beat Kansas City in the regular season. The bigger test likely will come in the postseason. If the Bills' defense can contain the Chiefs' offense, then there’s less pressure on the Buffalo offense, which is without wide receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid. This is a true test to see if everyone can eat, and to see who steps up in a vaunted rivalry. If the Bills can win the takeaway battle, I see Kansas City flying home with its first loss of the season. Bills, 24-21.

Ryan O'Halloran​

Every team wants to play every game on their terms – manageable third downs, jumping out to an early lead, controlling the clock with the ground game, etc. Even minus running back Isiah Pacheco and others, the Chiefs appear more able to dictate the flow of this matchup than the banged-up Bills. Kansas City has committed 20 fewer penalties than the Bills, is much better on third down (52% compared with 39.7% for the Bills) and has a future Pro Football Hall of Famer on a total heater (tight end Travis Kelce has 32 catches in the last three games). In the first of two Chiefs-Bills games – they will meet in Kansas City in the AFC divisional round – the Chiefs move to 10-0 and the Bills enter their bye seeing their five-game winning streak snapped. Chiefs, 28-24.

Mark Gaughan​

The Bills’ receiver injuries loom large for this game. With Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid out, and Amari Cooper banged up, I think it detracts from the Bills’ ability to defeat man coverage. With those three guys fully healthy, the Bills match up pretty well with Kansas City’s outstanding pass defense. But I see Josh Allen having to hold the ball too long, at times, in this game. The Chiefs should make the Bills prove they can beat man coverage. The Bills’ defense had an excuse for getting steamrolled on the ground in the playoffs vs. the Chiefs in January. There’s no excuse this time. And Kansas City will be without its best back, Isiah Pacheco. I see it playing out a bit like last year’s regular-season game, won by the Bills 20-17. Limited possessions, lower scoring. But I don’t see the Bills’ offense putting up enough points. Chiefs, 26-13.

Four keys for Buffalo Bills to beat Kansas City Chiefs​


Stay the course against Mahomes. Bills nickel cornerback Taron Johnson has seen the way Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes uplifts the whole offense.

“It’s just how, one, he can extend plays,” Johnson said. “That's huge. So, you got to win two times: one the first read, and then after he scrambles out there. Then you got to win again, whether that be stopping him from getting the first down or breaking up a pass.”

Mahomes is able to make plays happen out of nothing. Luckily, the Bills' defense practices against that tendency daily with their own quarterback, Josh Allen. Even when a play seems over, the Bills' defense has to be ready for anything.

Catching Kelce. As many know, Travis Kelce can be a grotesquerie for opposing defenses. For Johnson and the Bills' defense, it starts with Kelce’s brain.

“He's such a smart player and he knows angles, and really good with leverage,” Johnson said. “So, if you're playing a certain leverage on him, he's going to get off of that and go the opposite way. And I feel like Patrick Mahomes is just on the same page with him.”

It gets worse when Kelce is paired with Mahomes. The Bills have to impact the pair if they hope to stop them.
“Their chemistry is undeniable,” Johnson said. “So, just making sure that we can affect that chemistry, with either the rush or how we're playing Kelce – just making sure that we can disrupt that.”

Be ready for anything Spags dials up. Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is known for his exotic looks. Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has to have his team ready.

“They've been the best defense in the NFL the last couple years,” Brady said. “You can see the natural shifts and how good of a job Spags has done, kind of transforming that defense and getting into the type of identity that they want to be, and they make it tough on all three downs and whether it's run or pass – they put a lot of stress on you.”

The Bills' offense has found ways to beat Kansas City before, and the team will need to stay creative in the chess match with Spagnuolo.

Special teams, special plays. Every yard matters in this game, and special teams will be a big part of what could be a one-score final. Kansas City took a blow this week when the team announced that kicker Harrison Butker is headed to injured reserve with a left knee injury. Butker was 18 of 20 on field goal attempts prior to his injury, with his only two misses from 50 yards or more. On the flip side, Bills kicker Tyler Bass has worked through some of his demons and has a recent game winner to prove it. The Bills need to be aggressive, and they can’t have missed field goals against Kansas City. They also need to be solid on punts and punt returns to make Kansas City fight for every single yard.

If some extraterrestrial life form beamed down to our couches and wondered why we human beings like the NFL so much — well, we’d be obliged to show them the 9-0 Kansas City Chiefs and 8-2 Buffalo Bills. The Bills are hosting Sunday’s clash as a slight favorite, but the safe bet is that this game will dominate the football universe come Monday morning.

How to watch Chiefs at Bills​

This rivalry will partially define this generation of the NFL. Last year’s playoff meeting was thrilling — neither team was ever up by more than seven points, the lead was exchanged five times, and it came down to a missed field goal. That was somehow not their only instant classic of 2023 — remember when Travis Kelce’s frantic lateral to Kadarius Toney was called back, taking an improbable game-winning touchdown off the board?

How about the two games before those? The 2022 regular season clash at Arrowhead was decided by a Dawson Knox touchdown with 1:04 to play. And the 2021 Divisional Round edition was Game of the Century material — Buffalo took the lead with 13 seconds left, Kansas City marched 44 yards to force overtime, and the Kelce overtime score prompted an eventual rule change.

This is top-shelf stuff. Sunday’s installment has the recognizable beats — Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen leading two AFC inner-circle title contenders. But there are a few wrinkles that make this one especially cool. The Chiefs, of course, are going for an undefeated season. Kansas City acquired star veteran DeAndre Hopkins midseason, and Buffalo brought in Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper (questionable). Allen is on pace for the fewest interceptions of his pro career; Mahomes is on pace for the most of his.

Cooper was limited in Friday’s practice and is questionable for Sunday’s game, which means WR Khalil Shakir could see more targets.

The defenses are both in the top 10 in points allowed. Chiefs pass rushers Chris Jones and George Karlaftis are among the best one-two punches off the edge. The Bills tout a top-heavy pass rush and are tied for fourth in turnover rate.

Chiefs-Bills games seem to make new types of abstract art out of win-probability charts. Sunday’s game is the undisputed headliner of Week 11.

not even watching this one. Don't want to see the ref ball bullshit, don't want to hear the mahomesturbation, don't want to see the Bills lose, and I don't want to hear the Chiefs fans next week
 
Not even watching it. The ref ball, especially in the last 2 minutes of what should be a close game, followed by the neighborhood assholes shooting their guns after the game will enrage me. I'm not a violent person, but I will call KCPD and say the neighbors are shooting at each other again, I think its domestic violence. Yeahz the game will suck, but calling KCPD on their asses and saying I think you need to check out what sounds like domestic violence at these two addresses, now that will be fun.
