Chiefs fans are being ridiculous talking about how Andy Reid needs to retire. I've watched every Chiefs game this year and the coaching in all three phases is still by far the best thing they have going for them. Their biggest problem is talent. Rice is a very good WR, I'd say he's a borderline #1/#2. Kelce is still good but not in his prime obviously. After that is a bunch of JAGs. The IOL is still very good but with Trey Smith's injury they lose that advantage. The OTs have been a MASH unit. The situation on defense is arguably even worse. Chris Jones can turn it on when he really needs to but he is not as consistently as dominant as he was in his prime. Nobody else on the DL scares you at all. McDuffie is being forced into a full time outside CB role and he just can't handle big physical WRs. The rest of the secondary is middling. The LBs are good but that's not enough. Spagnuolo is holding that thing together almost entirely on his own. Oh and the one thing nobody wants to talk about... Mahomes has played below his previously elite standard for the past three years. I thought he would bounce back this year but he really hasn't. He misses a ton of wide open deep throws which takes TDs off the board. His on schedule passes are too frequently off target or poorly timed. The last INT last night where everyone is clowning on Kelce, this is the picture at the catch point: That is not really a clean drop, that is poor ball placement. It happens to every QB but it's been a bigger problem with Mahomes than anybody talks about. He can still make magic happen with his legs but that isn't sustainable over the course of an entire game, and he no longer has a defense that can keep the opponent down long enough for Mahomes to get into a groove. I don't know what Chiefs fans are watching but the coaching is elevating a poor roster and inconsistent QB play, not the other way around.

It's the most accurate measurement of public sentiment of a team.

THOSE 4 teams- Bills, Patsies, Broncos, Texans are the only quality teams left in the AFC. The old guard (Chiefs, Bungles, Ravens) have fallen on their swords! I absolutely fear the Texans- not the other 3. They whipped the Bills’ arse with that ferocious, best in the NFL D! Their QB and O talent are so so, but that D? At least- formidable. Do you know the record of Kermit & Josh v.s. that D this year? 0 TDs SIX TURNOVERS! Fierce. Putting that aside, I heard Capaccio this morning, talking about how neutral he is from game to game as some callers were complaining that Bills fans (like me) are negative even in cool comeback victories like yesterday. Thought about that. Perhaps, it is because all the bad twists and turns of bad Bills fortune going back to ‘Ronnie ***** Harmon’ are rolled into one. Perhaps, it is the record of non SB success or even getting there under McD goes back to ‘13 seconds’. I think it is more about Allen and the supreme annoyance we find with time slipping through the hourglass for the greatest athlete in Buffalo sports history, one of the greatest players in NFL history and ditto for QBs. A total freak of nature, with soooo many weird, freakish records involving the highly unusual combo of throwing the ball AND running the ball at a super elite level. A commenter during the game yesterday, said that 17 must put on his cape every freaking time,to overcome the deficiencies of McDs woeful D, Brady’s average OC calls and Beanbrain’s inexcusable intransigence to help him in the Draft! It absolutely is that! I like to think back to the GOAT- Brady. Sure, his unbelievable success was based on tremendous ability to think and do the right things at the right times. But, Brady was no Josh Allen. 17s talent is at least generational, maybe half century. BUT, BUT, BUT… when Brady scored, he NEVER, EVER had to worry whether his D was going to allow the opposition to race down the ***** field and score in 30 seconds… immediately thereafter. AS HAPPENED YESTERDAY! And many other yesterdays, including most of the critical playoff game losses. Those Patsies Ds were miles better than ANY of these Bills Ds. They actually tackled, blitzed successfully and were closer than 5 yards away from WRs. Brady never worried about that. Allen MUST worry about that, every time! That is the fundamental difference here. There is great opportunity here, because the AFC opposition stalwarts are all likely to be out. But, until that pathetic D gets better, Allen needs 5 TDs many games to secure a W.

"Have you seen the video?" "I have seen the video..." "I just want to make sure...you have seen the classified video..." "No...I have not seen the actual video." Yeah that sums up a conversation nowadays. https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/12/08/joey-jones-tammy-duckworth-n2422581

I think most agree with your take here. The draft is such a hit or miss thing, Beane needs to start using all of our picks and stop freaking using them to trade up. Beyond Allen, his trade up philosophy has simply not worked out great.

Bills and Pats would be tied in record in common games, both 11-3

That took like 4 yrs. I am on the side of do like Philly and stick with each area til done. For the most part he did with the oline. Now we don't have to even think about our next/future line for a while. This I believe. Bad boards....don't believe.

Yeah, for all I know it could be Gaine and Gray putting together bad boards, but from what Ive seen in "Draft War Room" videos the decision making and "getting cute" is all Beane.

Kincaid got a lot more snaps than I thought he would.

this is what we're doing today? outstanding.

They should get in because they have Cleveland at home this week. Would be a big upset if Cleveland beat Chicago on the road.

“We vetted them.”

DEATH RATTLE: California’s Last Stand “Gov. Gavin Newsom and his leftist legislative supermajority and their union buddies have finally run out of other people’s money. The left’s fix for this is to chase away all the rest of the billionaires who still call California home by pushing a ballot initiative demanding a 5% retroactive wealth tax on the net worth of billionaires.” https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2025/12/08/californias-last-gasp-n4946794

The time of possession had nothing to do with it. It was getting dire before the pick 6 and even after the pick 6, they were only up like 3 with Burrow getting the ball back and up until that point their defense was struggling to stop Cincy.

It happens more frequently than you might think ..... we are guilty of looking past teams especially Miami who we absolutely own. Falcons guilty of believing the hype and not doing enough to game plan against the few good players they have. New England I just wish we had played them a bit later than we did no telling how it woulda ended but I have a feeling it might have been different we will never know. This week the Pats are at home with all the advantages lets see how that one goes.

As always, some interesting things can be gleamed from snap counts. In addition to what Sal has highlighted here's some thoughts: -Cooks out snapping Coleman is very telling to me. You would think a game with weather issues would be a hot spot for a receiver like Coleman over a speed guy like Cooks. I think it's telling that he's getting less play time than a guy that most likely won't be here long term. -After the way he looked last week, Ray Davis only having 4 snaps on offense is ridiculous. Would have been a nice opportunity to let him build off last week. -James Cook on the field 75% of the time is both awesome and terrifying at the same time. Glad he's getting a lot of work, he deserves it. But if he goes down we are in deep 💩. -Of course, I don't know if it was an injury management thing, but using a 1st round pick on Kincaid ,that plays 22 offensive snaps was such a misfire. I'd assume it was a "work him back slowly" snap count thing, but that's right about his average snap count percentage. And yes, he can be a mismatch nightmare...but he has to be on the field more -Taron Johnson being on the field for 98% of the snaps is so dangerous. We really need to have an upgrade at the NCB position next year. -AJE & Groot having 82% and 75% snap shares. Without Bosa, there is nobody they trust to rotate. Solomon and Fox COMBINED for 17 snaps. Was disappointed in Fox's debut. Was hoping he was brought up to fill the kind of thing Hoecht was doing. Obviously, that's not the case, at least in this one.

It's so nice to finally be on the winning side of some of these "games of the year"

They're not done yet. Obviously they need to win out and can only get the 7 seed. However, I could see them as 7 seed going to 2 seed New England and winning. It's more likely than you'd think. Just remember where you heard it first!

What game did Cook's fumble cost us a game? Miami, we were blown out , 1 fumble hardly cratered that game.

For sure. They’ve got better coaching and the “chip on their shoulder” since we’ve dominated the division for a half decade; but we have the ultimate X-factor (JA17).

Thanks for that. I thought Gray was gone. Well something in that office ain't working.

Reminder: But, you know, save the drug runners.

It's weird how they've done so well with the offensive line but cannot figure out the D-Line at all. Couldn't they ask the O-Line "what traits are the hardest for you to defend against?" or review the tape and then go get the kinds of dudes that beat their line? I know I'm oversimplifying it, but it's just weird how they can't get the position locked down at all.
