These losses aren't just flukes. We aren't marching up well with the 2 best teams in the AFC and as of now everybody knows it. And as horrific as the defense is those games, our offense almost never played up to their standard when we play these two teams. In our 5 losses to them we're averaging 23.6 points again. Mahomes also plays well below his standards against them too.
These two teams definitely have our number and until we beat them in the playoffs, we'll be underdogs every time we play them. [Reply]

We're 2-1 against these teams in the playoffs in the prior 2 seasons.

What are you talking about?
The next time we have an opportunity to beat them is in the playoffs. So yeah we have to beat them in the playoffs. What kind of semantics are you playing? [Reply]

A more benign kind of nonsense than you're spouting?
We're 2-0 against the Bills in the playoffs. But you think that somehow we're the underdogs in that matchup and the world views it as an uphill climb for us?
You think we play the Bills and we're the ones cowering as underdogs?
Are you an idiot?
(Yes, you are.)
All 3 of these teams are really good. It's that simple. Nothing changed today in that calculus. [Reply]

Ok since you're sensitive, I'll change it, until the next time we beat them (which our next opportunity will come in the playoffs but you're being sensitive about wording so I'll change it), we're going to be underdogs against them.
