This^ I'm not sure how may Chiefs fans believed the BS, but a lot of the bobble heads predicted the Chiefs would take a step back. [Reply]

3? 5? 15!?
This is one of the funnier cases of mistaken identify that i’ve seen! [Reply]

I’ve read (what feels like at least) thousands of posts on this site about how this was a “rebuild” year. Except the Chiefs never said that. It seems to have been a coping device fans or media or whoever made up. It never existed.
You don’t “rebuild” when you have Patrick F’ing 13 Seconds Mahomes. [Reply]

Who cares what semantic games you want to play daquix.
The fact is the Chiefs reloaded their top talent to get younger and cheaper.
Buffalo has achieved nothing so far while Allen was cheap and your first big payment comes due next year.
This year was your big chance and you're already behind KC and our reloaded roster. [Reply]

It may not have been a full on rebuild, but outside of hardman, our wr's are all new, all new secondary with mostly rookies,Karlaftis, Pacheco. Not to mention trading Hill. If that's not a rebuild then what is it? [Reply]

If you think about it, what they’ve been the last few weeks is incredible.
Survived a natural disaster, practiced 1 time in 10 days, played two games (and won both), all the while missing their starting LB, CB’s, S, DE, Center, and with a QB with a hurt elbow.
The fact that they’ve done so well is a testament to how stacked the team is. At full strength, no one is touching them. But with all these injuries, it definitely levels the playing field.
Always the excuses. I'm pretty sure the Bills aren't among the most injured teams in the league.
The Chiefs just dropped 30 and beat a good team on the road without their top 3 WRs. Imagine the Bills' offense if their top 3 WRs were out. :-) [Reply]

Yes sir, all these teams in the AFC that went all in this year to beat KC while they were transitioning to a new core of players at many key positions just made our future so much more dominant. Next year we will only be better and these teams are all going to start trimming guys. We’re in such a great spot.
So many youngsters playing at such a high level and so far above their draft positions so quickly could have never been expected, but here we are. When you’re the best organization in pro football, you’re just always one step ahead. Amazing times to be a fan of this team to say the least. [Reply]

If that’s rebuilding then the Patriots rebuilt every year of their dynasty.
They were constantly cutting waste and adding new guys.
That’s where Belichick’s famous philosophy of “cut them a year early instead of a year late” came from. [Reply]

Sources: #Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller did not tear his ACL. There is concern about his lateral meniscus, tho. He’s out at least a week or 10 days while he figures it out. He’ll have surgery — the question is now or after the season. This is all following the MRI today. pic.twitter.com/rXIUIE11lw
