SCBills

The Chiefs aren't as deep as the Bills. Similarly talented. But they are far better coached, and their Big 3 (Mahomes, Kelce, Jones) is much more consistent than ours (Allen, Diggs, Von) Although I would say that our 3 have a higher ceiling. Kelce is un-guardable given how they can use him, whereas Diggs can be bracketed all game. That being said... Allen at the top of his game is the best player in the NFL and Von can literally win a game from his DE position. I just want to see what this rivalry looks like with the Chiefs in Buffalo for the Playoffs... alas, it seems our inconsistency and coaching struggles may prevent that... again.

Having 9 House Races undecided, over a week after the election, when leadership position jockeying and orientations are going on is absurd. Having almost two months of early voting is a joke. Over 70% of PA’s votes were in before the debate. Katie Hobbs never even debated Kari Lake once. Debates should be mandatory in an election, and no votes should be cast before one has occurred. Having a substantial percentage of machines fail on Election Day in a razor thin margin state, causing massive lines and confusion is unacceptable. If trust in our elections continues to erode, we will no longer have a functioning country. If no changes are made, R’s will eventually figure out how to match Dems in legal ballot harvesting, and we will have two months of ballot harvest machinery in play by both sides followed by weeks of sorting out of the votes. That is absolutely opening up the process to fraud and distrust. Our system in a handful of states is currently a joke. Everyone knows it. Even you.

Both Fox and MSNBC had guests on this morning talking about this war escalating due to what happened in Poland, and even though Russia didn’t launch the strike, we now have to operate under “what if they did”… it’s like everyone has just been waiting for this to happen to unleash their pro-war talking points. Even when it wasn’t Russia … well… “what if it was!!!???” vibe.

No, you twist and defend indefensible election incompetence.. I’m assuming because it typically benefits Dems. You felt the need to get defensive over a post where I stated I don’t give much credence to Kari Lake’s tweets, because clearly Arizonans voted for plenty of other Republicans. One can question our election practices without saying there’s widespread fraud. You don’t need to defend this dumpster fire process just because R’s haven’t figured out how to manipulate it yet.

Nah.. you can’t have machines fail like they did and take forever counting ballots in tight races, then condescend anyone who questions the process. Our election system, currently, is third world type nonsense. Until we fix it, people will, and should, attack the incompetence of it.

Unfortunately Mother Nature decided to give us the worst weather possible since the OBJ "rather play in warm weather climate" statement. Snowy mix against Minnesota and a blizzard this weekend... I'm sure he knows what the weather is like in Buffalo, but we definitely reminded him.

As much as Arizona’s elections are an absolute joke - and they justifiably invite conspiracy theory and questioning, I can’t get behind Lake on this when Republicans dominated in AZ, everywhere but, Lake/Masters.

So… it was likely a missile fired by Ukraine (yes, in response to Russian bombing) that landed in Poland. Zelensky and other Ukrainian politicians immediately called for/alluded to Article 5. Yet, every media outlet is proceeding to discuss this war as if it was a Russian launch anyway. More billions to Ukraine. Obsessive war talk again. Sketch war continues to be sketch.

It is impressive, but they also "look" far less dynamic. Reid/Mahomes aren't going anywhere, but Kelce is the best TE I've ever seen year in/year out, and he never misses time. He's 33.. at some point he will slow down. The reason that team is so unstoppable, is because they have a TE on par with any dominant WR, plus he can also block at a high level. Mahomes is elite. Reid is elite. But Kelce is that dude.

Marquez Beckham Jr This is likely our potential addition to the WR room, so hopefully he can give us something.. anything.

I disagree on our likely trajectory for the rest of the season. I'd bet more on us winning out than playing on the road WC Weekend. I do agree that McDermott/Frazier, and so far, Dorsey, have held this team back. That's not to negate the fantastic job McD did building this team, but he's got them 90% up the mountain and it very much remains to be seen if he's the guy that can get them the next 10%.

I want to agree completely.. I probably do partially.. and the narrative is likely much different if 13 seconds never happens (which was out of Josh's control), but you don't get any benefit of the doubt when the guy you're compared to has a SB, MVP, has won both Playoff head to heads and finishes higher than you year to year in the regular season standings. Josh takes more blame than he should because our team is not coached up anywhere close to the level of the Chiefs. He never should have been put in a position where he could fumble on a sneak or throw a pick at the end. Chiefs Defense/Coaches rarely put Mahomes in those positions.

Did they get their act together and finish ahead of us? What about the year prior? Where are they currently in the standings right now?

Sure, injuries change the equation, but Mahomes/Chiefs don't have a history of being erratic. Allen/Bills do. If they were chasing us, they'd likely bank on us dropping a game or two. I can't say, aside from injury, that I feel the same about them. Would love to be proven wrong though.

He's never played a road playoff game. Anybody acting like it's not a big deal if this team doesn't get the 1 seed (and especially if KC does) is just coping. It would be a complete regular season failure. I get we have sustained a ton of injuries, but this team is built to get the 1 seed. The beauty of what Beane has built is in both it's high end players AND depth. Most teams have one or the other. That depth is supposed to carry us in the regular season, and then Allen, Diggs, Von etc take over in the Playoffs. Pegula isn't spending league leading cash over cap to constantly trot out a 3 seed because this team can't figure out how to win games in the middle of the season.

I do believe we can win out.. especially if we ever get healthy. That said, I also believe KC can as well. Agree with the OP. If we lose one more game, I believe it's a wrap, because KC is way more consistent than us and they're likely not dropping two.

Please move this game.. I am not about getting into the habit of potentially losing one game per year because of "home field disadvantage". Pats last year. Now staring down the barrel of this..

I hate how much I like post-Pats Brady.

Do we find out how iron clad Article 5 is?

Two Detroit games in 5 days would be wild

How fantastic! Game just went from "get right" to complete toss-up.

Mentally prepares self for RD1 S, RD2 DT, RD3 CB... Josh can make due with some 4-6 OL and skill players.

GMFB discussing us this morning. Overall pretty positive, basically said we'll figure it out on Offense and just need to get healthy on Defense... but definitely a little bit of a concerned/sarcastic tone when talking about Tre White and when he's coming back. I only point that out to say that it's not just people on this board.

You can have a Dirk Diggler **** and still point out, after 3 games of horrible turnovers from your QB, that it’s hurting the team.

I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they get things together over the next two games. Get healthy. Run the table. That being said, if I feel we can do that .. where is KC losing? If we’re going to KC, again, with this coaching staff.. not sure I feel very confident at all in that.
