In the cold light of day when you really look back at all three loses.
Colts= Skyy Moore fumble, game changing Jones penalty, crucial Kelce TD drop and Pat throws a pick when we had a chance to tie the game in the dying seconds.
Bills= Butker misses a kick, Pat throws a pick in the redzone and then another pick when we had the ball with a minute to go.
Cinci= Crucial fumble by Kelce, Pat misses Mckinnon late and takes a sack..Butker misses the FG to give us a chance.
In all three of those defeats the defense gave up 20, 24 and 27. And the offense had the ball late in all three games with a chance to either tie or win but couldn't get it done. Infact they couldn't end the game against the Raiders late either and put the defense back out there with only one point to defend.
The defense has it's issues yes, but in every single one of those loses they gave the offense a chance to get it done and they never came through..it's that simple.
The key now is whether the Bills can hold their nerve or not. Jets, Miami and Cinci to come!!..our number one seed ambitions are in one of their hands so we'll see. This loss hurts, but the season never ended yesterday and that's all that matters really. [Reply]

I don't really care about the #1 seed. Because, I don't feel comfortable with the rematch with Cincinnati anywhere, Buffalo also. Although I'd rather play the Bills than the Bengals. So not only do we do need help from other teams for the #1 seed, but once the playoff start, we'll need help from other teams to knock off the Bengals. This team has Divisional round playoff loss written all over it. Which would continue the trend of taking one step backwards since Super Bowl LIV. Not all that bad considering all the new faces on the team. [Reply]

Ironically, our OL and DL played well against theirs. Go figure.
They don't have a QB so they couldn't put up points when we struggled. They could not make us pay for a few bad platys, like teams with good QB's can. [Reply]
Win out is the only shot and Buff dropping one. I think we still get it but we can't lose another or it's gone. Bengals will beat Buff probably. [Reply]
Im genuinely surprised DVOA has the Chiefs ranked so low in general. That page shows the Chiefs as not even a top 2 AFC team. I see the Chiefs as a top 2 entire NFL team. [Reply]
Chiefs still have the inside track for the 1 seed.
Bright side is that the Chiefs had an opportunity to win every game that they’ve lost this year. A few things go different, and those could be wins. We haven’t seen a game resembling anything near the Tennessee game last year.
That said, if we end up regretting anything from this year it will be the Colts game. [Reply]

They have a pretty flawed roster. Nowhere close to Top 5 roster in terms of talent. [Reply]

I think the Bengals have a tougher time against Buffalo than KC. They just don’t match up that well with Buffalo.
The Bengals beat teams by controlling the defensive line of scrimmage and that will be more difficult against the Bills who have extremely physical lines on both sides of the ball (if they’re healthy).
If you look at the teams the Bengals struggle with - losses to San Fran, Cleveland (3x), Baltimore, Pitt - over the last two seasons, it’s teams with physical line of scrimmage play. [Reply]

Hate to tell you but Allen’s mid season slump is over. He has 6 TD’s and 1 INT in the past 3 games (all wins). He is now back on track.
I still think the Chiefs get the #1 seed though. Bills have a tough schedule down the stretch and to quote Mike Florio “The Chiefs have high school teams remaining” (or something like that). [Reply]

He pumped his stats against Detroit and NE man I'm impressed. [Reply]
