Definitely. In the AFC...idk if pretty good is enough. Which is crazy to say.

Isn't it funny how everyone focuses on QB's, HC's, and D. Yet...it's ST's that can basically win or lose a postseason game? They often get forgotten...until they aren't. Texans ST's coach and kicker will probably be gone by tomorrow.

I see the "IT" factory with Mahomes, Allen and Jackson. I don't see it with this guy. I think he can be very good. But I don't think he will ever uplift players like the other three.

They could be had last year. The year before. And the first time they won it all. I hate them. But it's tough to pick against them. Being objective. I haven't even gotten to the officiating yet.

Someone on the Chiefs get injured?

That too. In the postseason...ST's can destroy a season.

That missed PAT was a killer.

They need to get to an AFC title game. Do something besides winning Wild Card games.

If we had the Texans defense--yeah. We definitely win. But we don't have the pass rush and LB's they do. And KC...always matches up well against our D in the postseason.

Do you remember game changing plays consistently leading to wins? Their OL were actually called for holds in the SB. Tuck rule...yeah. But otherwise...nothing comes to mind.

Texans aren't a great team. But they put up a heck of a fight.

I don't even remember New England getting these calls consistently.

The better team doesn't always win. Unfortunately

Yeah this is just ridiculous. It's tough enough beating a great team. But a great team and the refs? Something has to change and soon.

I'm starting to wonder if Stroud will be a Carr level QB. Or, take the next step and be top 5.

That HC's owner is likely the one making calls.

Yup. Look at SB 52. The old Chiefs (NE) took on Eagles. Philadelphia used trick plays and took risks all game. At that time, you needed that to beat them. KC is the new Patriots. If you make mistakes, you won't win.

Their D is legit. Would need guys to step up who haven't all year. And Reid/Spags vs McD scares me.

You have to wonder if organizations are complaining to the league about this. For once, I want to see a HC come out and say what everyone is seeing out there on the field. Yeah, he will get fined. But when is enough going to be enough?

Does anyone seriously believe in them to win the game though? I certainly do not. They are sloppy and undisciplined. Have a QB who has zero awareness. They go for FG's over TD's. Their D is being let down by the offense. The team to beat KC will have an elite QB, very good D. But most importantly, won't settle for fg's.

Did New England get this many calls in their favor? I don't think they did.

I don't think Houston is going anywhere with this particular QB. He is good. In the AFC, you need to be elite.

He doesn't need to be elite for them to win. And he is elite when he needs to be. If Houston scored 30, he would find a way to score 31.

I actually want to beat Baltimore, KC, and Eagles\Lions. I want there to be zero doubt about the validity of our title. Beating KC in Arrowhead to go to the SB would give this team so much confidence for the SB. And to be clear, we are more than capable of beating them there. We proved it in 13 seconds and last season was a tight contest at home. The key is not allowing fan noise to be a factor. I do respect others who say just win a SB and the path doesn't matter. Jmo.

This game is definitely not bigger than the AFC title round imo. If we lose to KC, nobody will care about beating Baltimore. If Baltimore loses to KC, nobody there will care about beating Buffalo. This game is critical because it's the next step to the next round. In the end, no SB win=a failed season. With Allen, that's just the way it is.
