    well I think its fine.

     

    The same thing happened a few years ago when Dallas went to Tampa and beat them on a monday night.  Dallas had the better record and won the game.  

     

    If you win your division you should get a home game.  That should never change.  

     

    Teams get upset all the time in the playoffs.  

    The team with the better record should get the home game. They earned it. Winning a division with a 9-8 or 10-7 record didn't deserve it as much. So, an 8-9 division winner should be home over a 13-4 second place team in their division? You realize that the Vikings or Lions with 14 wins will have to travel to play possibly 2 or 3 games in the playoffs depending on how far they get and if they play 3, 2 of them will be against teams with worse records than them. Yep, you're right. Very fair lol

    I'd be fine with it since those have always been the known stakes.  That is why winning the division is so important.

     

    again you said the nfc west was crappy but the Rams beat the Vikings and lost to the Lions with a banged up team week 1 26-20.

     

    Its not like the Rams are 7-10 and back doored in.  They are a legitimate threat to win next weekend against either team.

    Just because they beat the Vikings does not mean they deserve the higher seed of the 2 in the playoffs if they have 3 less wins lol. Do you remember when the Saints who went 12-4 back in 2010 had to travel to Seattle in a hostile environment to play a 7-9 division winning Seahawks team? That was long before the extra playoff teams. In no way, should the Seahawks had been the home team. Again, if you guarantee a division winner a playoff spot then the division still means something. You don't have to get a home game to have it mean something. It is flawed. No team with 4 more wins in a better division should have to travel to play a team that won a worse division. It's just wrong

    well I disagree.  The setup is fine.  I think the biggest problem is the two extra playoff teams but hey Tv Ratings.

     

    and just so you know, The Rams beat the Vikings this year.

    It was a problem before those 2 extra playoff teams. It always had been. I don't know how you can think it's fine. It's not. If the someone else in our division went 14-3 right now and we went 13-4 and had to travel to play the 10-7 Texans as the 5 seed next week, you're ok with that? No one should be

    The loser tonight goes to LA next week.

    They can set it up to where if you win your division that you are still guaranteed a playoff spot so it will still mean something. But under no circumstance should a 14 win team that just happens to have another 14 or 15 win team in their division have to travel to play a 10 win team that won a crappier division. The system is flawed and needs to be changed

    he got saddled with a bottom 5 QB (in play, not talent) who the whole team probably hates, only to have him suffer a season ending injury and get replaced by the likes of jameis winston, DTR and bailey zappe. star RB also got hurt, and by season's end their leading rusher was d'onta foreman. oh, and they traded away their best receiver. 

     

    surprised this didn't go well. 

    The dude had everything in Buffalo and couldn't figure it out. As bad of a situation he had with the Browns, it's kinda hard to give him the benefit of the doubt

    I think he could be the piece that we hoped that Von was going to be. He could be this teams Reggie White to GB move. Only 29 still. However I would not be willing to give up a #1 for him. One of our seconds for sure, but what else would it take? Assuming they would even move him of course.

    I think a 1 and a couple of other picks is what it would take. He is a player you give up a 1 for. He is still young enough for that. I wouldn't give up a 1 to get him at 33 but at 29/30. I definitely still would

    Still interesting how many offensive players from the 2001 Rams team still insist that New England seemingly knew the majority of their plays in Super Bowl 36.

    The Patriots were like 14 point underdogs going into that game which tells you what Vegas thought about the matchup. and the fact they have been busted cheating numerous times would make one think it was entirely possible that the Patriots knew what they were doing

    If he cannot be available when the stakes are highest, I have no, none, zero interest in a long term deal until he finishes a playoff run.

    And the stakes are really high this Sunday. Even higher than next week when he will most likely play. But if he can't handle this Sunday's high stakes matchup, cut him Monday

    I know I know, we don't have Andy Reid or Chris Jones or Travis Kelce.

     

    But let's look at the similarities:

     

    Major questions surrounding QB after trading away their best WR.

    QB then plays at an MVP level, and arguably the best blend of big play and smart play of their career with a less than star studded supporting cast

    Questionable defenses

     

    Let's look at:

     

    Mahomes' 2022 top 6 pass catchers

     

    Kelce

    Juju

    MVS
    Mckinnon

    Watson

    Gray

     

    Josh's 2024 top 6 pass catchers

     

    Shakir

    Coleman

    Kincaid

    Hollins

    Knox

    Cooper

     

    Not too much difference there, outside of Kelce.

     

    Now let's compare their numbers and the offenses numbers:

     

    2022 Mahomes

    5608 total yards, 45 TD's, 12 INT's, 5 fumbles, 105.2 passer rating, 79 QBR 14-3 record

     

    2024 Allen

    4262 total yards, 41 TD's, 6 INT's, 5 fumbles, 101.4 passer rating, 76.7 QBR 13-3 record

     

    Obviously yardage is the starkest difference, but the 2024 Bills were much run heavier, with Mahomes passing 165 more times. And they did have Kelce as well, as above.

     

    Now let's look at their offenses:

     

    2024 Bills offense

    31.8 PPG (2nd in NFL)

    5846 yards (9th in NFL)

     

    2022 Chiefs offense

    29.2 PPG (1st in NFL)

    7032 yards (1st in NFL)

     

    This Bills offense, with worse talent IMO put up more points than that SB winning, MVP having team. Yardage again the biggest difference.

     

    And now finally, let's look at the defense.  There is a lot said about the style of play the Chiefs have now, but their 2022 defense was most certainly not elite.

     

    2022 Chiefs

    16th in points

    11th in yards

    11th in yards per drive

    21st in points per drive

     

    2024 Bills

    11th in points

    20th in yards

    26th in yards per drive

    16th in points per drive

     

    So there you have it. Both teams had offseason departures in talent and honestly questionable regular season defenses, but with their QB's playing at an MVP level, the best year in their careers, they managed to post one of the best records in the conference.

     

    Now its time to see if history can repeat itself and Allen can continue his flawless play into the postseason, and the defense can step up when it needs to.

    How much time did you spend looking all this up?

    Who do we want or who do we expect?

    I want the dolphins to beat them again.

     

    We all expect the Broncos.

     

    We say we don't want to Bengals but it's the Chargers we don't want - but thankfully can't face in the first round.

    The Chargers don't worry me at all. I've seen some of their games, they are good but nothing special and we aren't playing them in the first round but if we were, it would be a west coast, warm weather team with a dome coming to the east coast playing in the cold and possibly snow. Not sure why that would scare people

    Just looking at the current standings it’s quite possible that there’ll be three out of the six wildcard games in which the home team has a worse record than the visitors. The NFL might wanna do something about that going forward. 

    I have always said this but people always told me I was crazy and would say "just win your division". Not every division is the same. Some are a lot weaker than the other. Look at the Vikings and Lions, one of them is going to have to go on the road to either the Buccaneers, Falcons or Rams. All of those teams will have 4 or 5 less wins than the Vikings or Lions. Yet they will be hosting because they "won their division". The Vikings and Lions are in a much better division, so it's unfair. One of them is gonna have to go on the road the whole way or at least 2 out of 3 with a 14-3 record. It's not right
