Reminiscent of Jackie Smith/Roger Staubach in SB13 vs the Steelers.

Both Roger and Lamarr took some zip off their passes forcing both Jackie and Mark to semi-stop/lurch and reach lower than they should have and the rest is history.
Andrews had to deal with bad weather, Smith didn't.

Mark Andrews is now my favorite player......LMAO
Yikes he had a game he'd like to forget. A fumble lost and a drop on the 2 point convert. They should have gone to Likely, he had the hot hand. I'm happy for the Bills but their defense will need to be better vs. KC if they have a hope of winning. Losing Rapp to injury is definitely a concern too.

I agree with the Bills have to be better comment to beat KC. KC is a much more disciplined team than Baltimore and won’t make as many mistakes. Baltimore should have won that game TBH. I’m happy for Josh, but the Bills were lucky with this one.

Just like Washington, Bills capitalized on mistakes and that what they should do and why they one.

it’s going to be another great game, I can’t wait..

Mid week thoughts on who I would like to see win the games this coming weekend.

* Buffalo over KC. KC has won a lot of low scoring games this year. Buffalo is the one offense that has proven it can score against KC. Also, the football gods must want a Bills win here...

* Philly over the 'Skins (I hate the commanders as a name). I would really like to see Washington win this, but it is in Philly and that Eagles defense is pretty tough to beat. The one thing that Washington does have going for them is they are divisional foes, and these teams are familiar with each other. I just think this is one scenario where home field really is an advantage. Funny stat is they have been pretty much .500 over the years against each other and have only met in the playoffs once.

Hopefully it will be two good and close scoring games.

Especially when the Philly boo birds come out.

Eagles need to take an early lead to avoid that.

For the sake of George Allen, Joe Gibbs, Billy Kilmer and Joe Theismann, Go Skins.

I think Jackson and Henry are a better 1-2 punch than what KC has.
Henry yes of course. But if i had a choice of Lamar or Mahomes in a do or die game, I'm going with Patrick.

Bills need a way to contain Kelce. They have generally been good vs. the TE this season. Last time they allowed a TE to score was in week 11. One thing that I think gives them a chance is that KC's defense has been showing some holes, particularly is pass coverage. Allen could exploit that if he's on his game.
I do think that home field advantage is the difference maker which is why I think the Chiefs pull out a close victory. Taking the Chiefs with the points here. I hope I am wrong.

I think giving the Commanders +6.5 is too much. I like them to at least keep the game close @ Philadelphia. Hostile environment no doubt. But nothing seems to faze Jayden Daniels who has gotten better as the season progresses. Its truly remarkable what he has done as a rookie QB. I like Philly on the money line but the Commanders to cover the spread, which they have done in 12 of the past 18 games.
