So were you a fan of the Chiefs during the Schottenheimer years?

Anybody that remembers why that team won more games in the 1990's knows what I mean.

Use your head and try not to be an asshole.

As a fan of neither team, I will say that this should be a pretty good game.

The Super Bowl should be really good too, with any of the possible matchups.

I wish I could come in with all types of swagger but this will be the most nervous I have been watching a Chiefs game since they played the Titans in the 2019 AFCCG and won.

If Mahomes was 100% I would be much more confident.

It will be a battle for sure and I will need extra Tums and blood pressure meds.

The only team that reminds me of those 90s teams even a little would be the Ravens...if the Ravens had a no-talent statue for a QB.

They have beaten KC three times in a row, twice at Arrowhead and all three times with a healthy Mahomes. He is hobbled right now. They have every reason to be cocky. They have earned it.
[Reply]

Once at Arrowhead.
[Reply]

That is correct. I guess I thought the regular season game last year was in KC.
[Reply]

And they can go right on ahead with that.

After watching Football Jesus on Saturday, every Chief's player should be willing to go to war and leave it all out there.

I kept waiting for Buffalo to turn it up a notch but they looked like !!#%* yesterday. I don't give Cincy as much credit as they are giving themselves.
[Reply]

You don’t have to give Cincinnati credit at all, but the fact is they are the defending AFC Champs, are in the AFCCG for the second straight season and currently have a three game winning streak vs KC. Until KC does something about it the Bengals have earned their bravado.

Winning Super Bowls is getting tougher. In 2019, the Chiefs had to play the Titans/49ers. Two teams with mediocre QBs. Now it's Bengals and possibly Eagles. Much tougher opponents with better QB play. I'd love to play the 49ers again because I figure eventually Purdy fucks up.

Buffalo has looked shaky for many weeks. Injury problems with their defense mixed with Allen’s injured throwing elbow. They finally ran into a strong enough team to fully exploit their injury problems on both sides of the ball.

The Chiefs are an interesting team. They seem to struggle with bad teams, but play well against the good teams of the league. They seem to play at different levels based on the competition. We’ll see how it goes, but I don’t think they will get blown out like Buffalo did.
[Reply]

Everyone keeps saying the Bengals are the best team in the league but man…have people seen Philly’s roster?

They are one of the most talented teams in recent memory. They are just absolutely stacked everywhere
[Reply]

It’s a bad analogy.

Bone Thugs and Marty were bullies in the regular season, lap dogs in the playoffs.
[Reply]

Seems like they're shying away from calling it a "dream team" for some reason.

Check out Mahomes’ performances in his return games from injury:

2019 Week 2 vs the Raiders (after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 1 vs Jacksonville): 30-44, 443 yards passing, 4 TD’s 0 INT’s.

2019 Week 10 vs Tennessee (after suffering a knee injury in Week 7 vs Denver and missing the next two games): 36-50, 446 yards passing, 3 TD’s 0 INT’s.

2020 AFC Championship Game vs Buffalo (after suffering a hit to the head injury and turf toe in the Divisional Round vs Cleveland): 29-38, 325 yards passing, 3 TD’s 0 INT’s.

Not bad.
