NFL now can conduct its investigation of Antonio Brown without any time pressure. It's hard to imagine another team would attempt to get in the way of that. So Brown's NFL career is on pause and possibly could even be over.

Yet here I am.
Let's just flip a coin, winner gets home field, they 'bye' both teams through for the next 13 weeks and then allow a 2-week 'warmup' period before the Chiefs/Pats face each other at full health and ready to go.
The rest of this is just masturbating. It's like the 14 weeks NFL pundits spent trying to talk themselves into "Drew Brees is the NFL MVP" last year. Look, we know how this is gonna end. Can y'all quit bullshitting yourselves and get to the money shots?
Yup.
My wife asked me, "You nervous about the Ravens game?"
Nahp. Not even a little bit. Win or lose, we're going to the AFCCG. Regular season losses to a red-hot team like the Ravens means nothing anymore. [Reply]

Same for the Chiefs tbh. I'll believe in the Ravens after I see alot more of them.
But right now, it's Pats/Chiefs and a yawning chasm between them and whoever #3 is. [Reply]

That’s one way to look at it, I suppose. It’s also the same defense that ALLOWED 31 points in two separate halves to the Chiefs last year. That doesn’t scream elite, sorry.
With AB, your offense would have been extremely dynamic and hard to stop. Without him, it’s more manageable. You guys MAY still be the better team. Time will tell. We’ll see you again in November. And then hopefully again in January.

Looking forward to it.
Brady's aging noodle arm with be worthless past 15 yds by the playoffs. :-) [Reply]

Who cares when they were scored.
We put up 28 in one fucking quarter Sunday. It didn’t help the Raiders in the end.
What do you want from me? To tell you I'm quaking in my boots over the incredible Chiefs offense?
Yeah, talk to the Rams about 2001. The Patriots about 2007. The Rams last year. The Chiefs last year. And, frankly, Peyton's Colts like EVERY FUCKING YEAR.
I'm smart enough to know that there are three phases to the game, not one, and I've seen ultra-elite offenses brought down to earth in playoff games before.
Not that the Chiefs can't win it all. Of course they can. But so can the Patriots. That's all I'm saying. [Reply]

Lose by 17 and all it will do is annoy me because of the number of fuckstain hot take artists who will spend the next 12 weeks trying to convince themselves that Lamar Jackson is some evolutionary Mike Vick and the Ravens are now the team to dethrone the Patriots.
{yawn}
It'll make Colin Cowherd particularly intolerable and other than that won't move the needle. This is gonna be what it's gonna be.
Has anyone seen the 'home field advantage' index? The Chiefs are actually near the bottom of the league - y'know why? It isn't because they're bad at home; we know they aren't. No, it's because they're damn near a full standard deviation better than 2nd place on the road in the recent past. So the conclusion was that homefield doesn't make them any better at all - they're equally awesome wherever they play.
So whatever. Arrowhead would be better so I could be there to watch the changing of the guard. But if it's Foxborough? So be it.

Which game THAT YOU LOST do you mean? The one in Gillette or the one in your very own house?
You want me to be terrified of a team that the Patriots beat twice last year? Why would I be?
And, frankly, even if you beat us twice last year, why would I be scared? Why should you be scared despite losing twice? These two teams are going to put on a hell of a game twice again this year most likely, and I wouldn't bet a dime on either one of them because who the hell knows who will win. [Reply]

And this year will be tarnished with RAPE. [Reply]

Then went out and got Jaime Collins, and has a bunch of young guys who have gotten better.
You're gonna stomp us. I quake in fear for the humiliation my beloved team will suffer before the unstoppable might of the greatest offense in the history of sports, much less football.
