I mean goddamn this conference seems wrapped up doesn’t it? Not trying to jinx us but it really seems like injuries are our biggest opponent at this point.
The Ravens are fucking frauds. They’re a warm up for us. We literally made these guys look like the JV squad the last 2 meetings.
And sure the Bills and Titans may make us work for the win, but in all honesty we have to play pretty goddamn shitty to lose to those guys.
In order to have any shot at beating us you need 3 things:
1. Elite pass rush
2. Top 10 QB capable of making critical plays
3. Overall talented roster
Steelers are the only team in the AFC that has those 3 things, and even them it’s not like they’re some serious threat like the Patriots a couple years back, but they seem like the best of the rest.
I think at this point it would be disappointing for this team to not get to the SB 3 straight times.
We’re just that good, and we keep drafting well and get better and better. [Reply]

Comes down to our oline holding up long enough to allow Mahomes to attack their secondary downfield. And in the playoffs I think we could do that quite well. [Reply]
ON PAPER... the Chiefs have a clear path to the SB and should be viewed as the overwhelming favorite in the AFC. Especially now with Dupree out, it seems like the road to the bye is almost within KC’s own control.
If they take care of their own business and avoid shooting themselves in the foot too often in a given day, they aren’t going to lose. They may not even have that competitive of games in the AFC playoffs if they’re really locked in. This of course all assuming they’re able to avoid massive misfortune themselves w/ health.
The team with the best chance to dethrone us would be the Titans IMO, simply out of respect for what Henry can do to a game. Even then, I think their odds are 25% at best. [Reply]

Running backs don't win playoff games though. Even during the Titans run last year their offense wasn't actually that good against NE or Baltimore and even then almost all of their points came off the passing game.
Banking on a bunch of long runs from a RB is like the least sustainable thing to count on in the playoffs.
I'd be more worried about playing the Fade than the Titans. [Reply]

Yep.
Henry is at his best when the Titans can dictate the pace of the game and pound him, waiting for him to break one.
They can't do that when they're behind by 3 scores, which is what the Chiefs would do to that defense. [Reply]
