buffalo will end up as the three seed and having to go to cincy in the playoffs if they lose to cincy in two weeks [Reply]

It’s that fair officiating crew that’s gonna be the hardest. Need to have some favorable Vegas matchups and betting lines for that to happen. [Reply]

So we should be happy that Mahomes is taking lot more hits because the fucking tackles are embarrassingly bad? Fuck off, and open your eyes. This is the team you think can beat 3 playoff teams to get to a SB? Our DL gets barely any pressure on one of the worst lines in the league. But hey it’s just bitching? Fuck off! [Reply]

Do you think any of the AFC contenders have a huge margin for error vs each other? I don’t think so.
I think it’s pretty rare that a KC drive is killed by a sack or pressure this year. It almost always seems to be a self-inflicted mistake that kills a drive. Von Miller had a big impact at the end of the Bills game but obviously they won’t have to worry about him next time. [Reply]

This is why it is so important to get the 1 seed. At the moment you have to say that Bufallo and Cincy look the best teams that aren't the Chiefs.
Getting the 1 seed is the difference between having to play both or just one of them to get to the Superbowl. [Reply]

Every team has weaknesses. It's the NFL, a salary cap league, where the worst teams pick first.
We're paying our elite QB, and the Bills and Bengals aren't yet. And we're STILL fielding a team that has as good a shot at winning it all as anyone.
Just being ceaselessly negative is stupid.
Enjoy the ride. This season was The Bills' best shot before paying Allen... The Bengals have this year and next before they have to pay Burrow.
And yet we're right there with them anyway.
Yeah, our OT's are a problem. So is our pass rush. [Reply]

Cincy game. Zero pressure on Burrow the entire game. 3rd and 3 late in the game...Orlando Brown blows it and there's immediate pressure on Mahomes, which screwed up the play. That's what I mean by razor thin margin. It comes down to a few moments here and there. Yes the Kelce fumble was huge in that Cincy game for sure. But I still think about the fact Burrow had all damn day to throw whereas Mahomes did not. [Reply]

The game @ Cincy last year was very similar to the one a few weeks ago. KC allowed about 3.8 points per drive in each game. The Bengals actually scored 7 more pts last year (with two more possessions).
But KC's D did a better job of containing them in the playoff game in Arrowhead. 2.7 points per drive. KC forced a punt/TO/FG on 8 of the Bengals' 11 drives. Held them to 359 yds.
I'm hoping for more of the same if they come to Arrowhead again. Only this time I wouldn't expect the offense to completely crap the bed in the 2nd half. [Reply]

This is just TO GOOD, to not happen. This MUST happen! [Reply]
