Nah, I think he’s a very good example. He’s tough as nails and a competitor and doesn’t want to use injury as an excuse to not compete. In those situations it’s on the coaches to not let the player get in his own way. But it also brings an interesting perspective because sometimes the coaches can only work with the info they’re given. If players want to hide their pain they may not know they’re hurting. Gotta be a tough environment for players to prove they’re tough as nails while also doing the responsible thing and not put your team in a bind.

I've been a fan that long too, and before Mahomes I was already there with my Sundays. It just wasn't worth spending that much of the remaining time on Chiefs football.

Damn't I watched him play in the season finale against Denver and could not turn away since!
[Reply]

that's where I'm at.

The Fumble/TD at Indy....forward progress game........phantom hold on 2pt conversion game........those games nearly did me in as a fan.

Now I get to just bitch about the refs.

I think we pretty much know what Andy would do since he won't even run a QB sneak anymore out of an abundance of caution.
[Reply]

No, not at the moment, but that could definitely be one that's looked back on when everything is said and done. If these dudes get bounced from the playoffs in the first round because they've gotta go on the road to Miami, they may look at making some changes in the coaching staff.

You've got to consider where they are in their story. Imagine how KC was in 2018 after that heartbreaking AFCCG loss to the Patriots, except the Bills have never won a single Super Bowl. Plus, KC knew they had the best QB on the planet at that time, but the Bills actually aren't so sure of that. Since they got bounced last year, they know this season is their absolute best shot at winning a chip before it gets a whole hell of a lot harder.

Either that, or they just want the fans to quit throwing dildos on the field

He's been throwing 2nd half INTs since well before his elbow was injured. Honestly he didn't play any different than he had the previous 3 or so weeks.

Before getting to know a former Canadian, I didn't know that the Buffalo/Niagara Falls, Ontario area is teeming with greasy Italian mafia wannabes. That explains the "Bills Mafia" nonsense. It's even dumber than "Chiefs Kingdom".
[Reply]

C'mon Al Roker. Chiefs Kingdom isn't stupid...especially if your a fan of my favorite football team THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS.

The post saying Chubb is going to run for 1 million yards against their defense is 100% facts.
[Reply]

It's a much better name than Bills Mafia, for sure...or as my Canadian friend calls them: "Dumb fucking Wops". :-)

Yeah, she posted in that thread that Clay linked.

You make a fair point that Buffalo is done in January if Allen isn't playing but that argument I believe really should just be telling him to slide more and bench him for a series or at least play if he doesn't.

But I believe it matters where the playoff games are played and avoiding a playoff game is often crucial. Injuries literally impact every playoff game so just having one less playoff game to avoid new injuries can be huge.

I actually believe KC and not Buffalo is the most talented team in AFC. Why does Buffalo have a better point differential? KC has a bunch of new pieces on defense/offense and are figuring it out.

As for the vaunted Bill's defense? Better defense than KC? Sure but still not a powerhouse defense against a high powered offense.

Josh Allen played arguably the best game of his career against KC in last years playoffs considering the circumstances and *still lost*. Buffalo did very little running the ball when Allen wasn't running.

Tyreek Hill made their entire secondary look foolish. Miami right now has more than just Hill on offense

I have great respect for Von Miller and he will help but he doesn't solve all of these problems.

Exactly !!:-)
