    KC is 9-0-1 against the spread on the road since 2017

    KC has been to 5 straight AFC Championship games

     

    KC has only played 10 road games since 2017?  Somebody needs to talk to the schedule makers about this...it's an outrage!

     

    Also, they've been to those AFCCGs playing at home the whole time.

     

    When has Mahomes ever faced the sort of road environment he's walking into Sunday night?

     

    And...drum roll...he doesn't have the better team...

     

     

    Divisional Round, Chefs v. Bills - PREDICT THE SCORE

    I would venture a guess that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have never played in the sort of raucous road environment they will face on Sunday night.  It is a completely new experience -- and they don't have the better team.

     

    The crowd and Buffalo's "next man up" mentality get us through the injuries...and Playoff Josh does the rest.

     

    Bills 34, Chefs 17 (on a late garbage TD)...

     

    Go Bills!!!  15 and 6, Babyyyyy!!!!

    If we had Milano and white we would not have Douglas (or would we???).

     

    Regardless, without injuries we could control the clock better and hold field position better. 

     

    I think if we get a couple of these guys back — preferably Rasul, Taron, and (in my wildest dreams) Bernard — we will absolutely control this game from start to finish.

    It's funny, but some have made the same jokes about Josh when facing Mahomes and Burrow... I prefer to hold off on the jokes until Josh delivers on his promise (not a verbal promise, but the other definition of promise) because it is time.

     

    Suit yourself, man.  I’m just having fun.  If you think any of this impacts what happens on the field, well…..

    There wasn't but there didn't need to be given the call on the field. There needed to be compelling evidence to the contrary. 

     

    Thanks.  I was watching with a group and couldn’t hear the commentary.

    i'll question everything all over again if the bills blow it.  it also depends how the game goes.  if superman mahomes suddenly turns up and it's a shoot out...so be it.  i just won't be able to see the sloppy bills stroll out and gift wrap turnovers.  

     

    The Bills can't play their "C" game in this one.  If they play their A or even B+ game and still lose, it will be easier to deal with.

    He most certainly is an idiot and give him a few minutes and he will clear up any doubt about that.    

     

    I saw his whole interview not just the initial clip.

     

    He went off the rails and started rambling nonsense about sh!t like "turnover worthy plays" shouldn't mean anything it's only a bad throw if it's intercepted and McAfee and Hawk had to rescue him before he went off further into the void.

     

    And he was also convinced his important presence as a soccer owner is going to force The Premier League to officiate more fairly.   Hey @GunnerBill aren't you glad that JJ is there to fix everything for you guys?   Maybe an equivalent goofball.......I dunno, maybe Rowan Atkinson?.........can come over here and fix NFL officiating for us.

     

    Also had this doozy the other day..........totally clueless to the fact that the game was cancelled as much because fans and workers couldn't get to the game as anything:

     

     

     

    I didn’t say I disagree with you.  It was just a fun topic for discussion.

    You really think NFL teams would pay millions of dollars for useless data? The idea that you think it's some schmuck sitting at home is part of the problem.

     

    PFF employs former NFL players, especially at Tier 2 and 3 of grading. The reason why PFF grades take a couple day to update after a game is because they are not graded by one player. It gets graded by a Tier 1 analyst, then a Tier 2 analyst, and then sometimes a Tier 3 analyst. 

    People will often write "they don't know the play call". These people clearly think that football is rocket science. It's not. We can see on All-22 what the play is. Especially by mid season when teams are running the same plays over and over. And no, we do not accept the idea that maybe this particular team told their left tackle to get pancaked on a counter-run because the coach told him to. No, he just got beat. 


    The other excuse is "teams pay for the data, not the grades". How do you think PFF grades the player? On the data!

     

    Dude, just stop.  The issue isn't that PFF's data can't be useful...but it's not as scientific and pristine as some hold it out to be.

     

    And yes, there are a lot of schmucks sitting at home in front of their computers submitting PFF grades...just because an "ex-NFL player" gives it the once-over doesn't guarantee it's correctly evaluated.

     

    One of the "ex-NFL players" who does (or did) their grading is Bruce Gradkowski...former journeyman QB for a number of teams.  He also used to be a frequent co-host on SiriusXM NFL Radio so I've heard him talk on a lot of NFL topics.  He's a moron.  If he was the one grading other schmucks' grades, that lessens my confidence in that data even more.

    Is this really surprising? 

    You can have two NFL coaches grade a player completely differently.

    Two GM's too.

    That's why some will trade down in the draft and others will trade up to get the player that the other left there.

    It doesn't mean PFF sucks. It means HIS coach graded it differently.

     

    You really think some schmuck sitting at home "grading" a play when he doesn't know the play call or the individual player responsibilities is the same as a coach grading a play?
