I made no mention whatsoever of KW stopping JC on the edge. I simply said MD and KW are better than KC's interior OL, which should limit JC inside. if you want to say otherwise, that's cool, but i doubt anyone will agree. MD and KW are an elite pair of DTs.
To be fair, you are correct about the KW thing. I mind-blanked and was thinking you meant him on the outside, not Mario. So, Mea Culpa on that. As for Dareus being elite, he wasn't last year. You're assuming that level of growth for the Bills, yet not assuming any ability for a guy like Poe. That's what I mean about best case/worst case.
So what you are saying is KC won one more game than BUF last year and had FAR fewer injuries?
No, I'm saying that K.C. was without their most crucial players for all/most of the season. Berry, as I'm sure you recall, was lost in the second quarter of the first game. Charles was lost week 2. Moeaki never even made it to the first game. For a team built around the run game and the short passing game, that's huge.
Unless you think OLs match up vs OLs this logic is totally flawed. Even if KC does have a better OL than BUF, it doesnt matter b/c OLs face DLs and so on.
I think harnessed talent generally wins out. KC has more harnessed talented than Buffalo, on both sides of the ball.
However, to play your flawed matchup game, you are gonna tell me KC's RBs are better than Buffalo's with a straight face?
Charles is, by far, the best running back on either team when all are healthy.
First of all, the Bills don't have a NT. Second of all, I made no mention of their interior DTs setting the outside edge. Nor did I say "shut down", I said "limit". Huge difference, esp when referring to an elite player.
The Chiefs just drafted Poe to be the NT, and I already mea culpa'd about the other part.
