I'm not convinced they're the best team but I think it's crazy to want to go play Belichick up there on his turf in the playoffs. Belichick will definitely have a plan for this offense, then you have to worry about all the espionage stuff.

If we can't beat them with a rookie QB we aren't beating the NFC team anyway.

They literally won a game last night on the road without even using the QB. We should beat them but given what both teams look like right now it's definitely looking like it'd be a 13-10 slop fest. They'll just run the ball 45 or 50 times.

Yea umm the conditions might’ve had something to do with that…

Bill is a badass, for sure.

Bills players are salty as hell about this loss. That second game is going to be a humdinger.
[Reply]

For sure, but they're not going to beat the Chiefs or any number of other playoff teams throwing the ball less than 10 times.

Last night ain't happening again.

The thing is that Spags' defense is tailor-made to mess with a rookie.

The Chiefs actually matchup well and this shit the offense is going through might actually better prepare them for a matchup like this anyway.

Much better New England teams have lost to much worse Miami teams. The Dolphins have actually been playing well and are pretty hot. New England has traditionally struggled in Miami in December, too.

Buffalo will be out for revenge and playing for their lives. Their D played well last night, really, and better conditions for their offense could flip the script.

Wentz has been playing well and Taylor/the Indy OL can make yards on anyone. The New England D is really good, but their OLB aren’t the fastest guys out there.

I’d place better odds on New England losing ALL 3 than them going undefeated through that stretch.

Yeah but that's even worse because the Bills knew they were running it every time and they couldn't stop it. They obviously aren't going to pass the ball 3 times again but they are definitely good at making teams play their game, rookie QB or not.

I guess time will prove me wrong, but the Ravens and Bills look like a hot mess and the Titans are destroyed by injuries. Patriots clearly look like another level up from those teams right now, and that doesn't even get into the Belichick factor. Chiefs have every bit of talent to beat all of these teams, but in terms of which one actually looks the toughest at this moment I'd say Patriots. Especially given our offensive struggles, Belichick has made a living just playing solid football and taking advantage of mistaken prone teams.

The problem is that teams like Cincinnati are still right there. They might beat a contender one week and lose to the Jets (they actually did this :-)) the next.

Nobody in the AFC looks great - hell, most of the top teams have had stretches where they don't even look GOOD.

The number one seed might only have 10 or 11 wins in a 17-game season.

Cincy is going to be brutal to predict in the playoffs. They could beat any team by 30 or lose by 30 and everything in between. But this playoff bracket is a mess, it might just be whoever is hot at the end of the year, even if it's a wildcard team.

I’d love Andy to go no huddle and just abuse the open field in the middle on that 2 deep shell. Slant, back to the line, screen, back to the line, jet sweep, back to the line, off tackle run.
[Reply]

You guys need to remember it's not abnormal for a number 1 seed to have 4 losses with some questionable throughout the year. We always romanticize past seasons
[Reply]

Calm down.

You've still gotta play at Indy and at Miami (a place your team traditionally struggles at).

If the Chiefs just keep in winning, we may see a repeat of the ending of the 2019 season.

You remember how that ended, right?
