The Buffalo Bills lost their second-straight game on Monday, falling to the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, 26-17. While the game wasn’t as one sided as last week, the Bills didn’t look to be there regular early-season standard.
The first half was brighter, with much better play calling on the part of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. With a decent mix of run and pass plays, the Bills kept it relatively close with Kansas City. Devin Singletary ripped off some big runs, and the Bills were acting like a balanced team, operating unpredictably, but the second half was a big regression.
On both offense and defense, there were lapses and the Chiefs had full control. They never looked back. It certainly brings into question Daboll’s “offensive genius” and whetherd defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has a future in Buffalo. Daboll, who was being looked at and discussed as a head coach candidate against sub par teams, isn’t proving to be effective against the best of the NFL. Frazier looks to potentially be the deserved scapegoat if this Bills team underperforms.
Buffalo can get back on track against the inferior Jets next week, as they return to their normally scheduled game days. It’s been a rough few weeks, but a game against the Jets could be what the doctor ordered.
