Yep. We have been on borrowed time for quite awhile. The signs were there all season. This isn't stunning to me. We may have lost to the SB champion. I still don't see how they can possibly go into Arrowhead two straight years and end the Chiefs season. But who knows.

You can't be superman every week. That is unrealistic. He needs help. No team can win it all by relying on one or two guys.

This angers me because we are better than this. And because KC will wipe the floor with this Bengals team next week.

Getting beat by the Bengals is not embarassing. Getting beat like this, by anyone, in our own home is embarassing. McD still has time here to change things.

I hate to admit it. But the Bengals may just be the better team from top to bottom. And I really do think they have a great chance at winning it all. We all knew this offense was Diggs and not much else. We ķnew Allen needed to play hero ball. You can't rely on one or two guys consistently.

As long as Fangio comes with him

What banged up O-line? Good grief

3 pm start? I thought it was 1. Ugh. Nerves are high. Never been this nervous in my life.

Smith got benched for Kap. Yes he was playing better. But Reid elevated him. It was when the defense held Pittsburgh to five fg's at Arrowhead, and the KC offense didn't do much, that the organization realized Smith was good. But they wanted great. Thus, the infamous 2017 draft trade up. The Eagles were favorites against the Bucs because of the Bucs history in cold weather. The receivers were James Thrash and Todd Pinkston going against one of the all time great defenses ever. Now, was Reid in charge of personnel back then? Idk. But losing to that Bucs team isn't that huge of an upset. Panthers loss? I don't even remember that. I think that is the year the Carolina kicker kicked it out of bounds and gave NE a shorter field to win that SB. I totally forgot who Carolina even beat to get to that point. Alas, it was the Eagles. Reid, as a coach, is top five for me. I hold him responsible for some contracts handed out and clock management issues. As a coach,I take him over McD everyday. I believe Allen would be even better with Reid. This can all change if McD and company get it done and best KC along the way.

It has been Super Bowl or bust this entire season. This is going to be a very tough test. If the Bills win, another stiff test awaits. Need to blitz and early and test that Bengals OL. If that doesn't work, dial it back. On offense, no turnovers. Cincinnati has been successful at cashing in turnovers. Can't give them extra possessions. Run the ball.

This. They had a successful season.

Are the Eagles that good or the Giants just not ready for primetime (Literally and figuratively I suppose)? Truth may lie somewhere in the middle. Regardless, next week a red hot team (Cowboys or Niners) is coming to town. Things get tougher. A win there for sure removes alot of doubt. I do believe the Eagles make it to the Super Bowl due to homefield advantage. Cowboys are too up and down. We've yet to see SF go into a true hostile environment and beat a team that is maybe a tad better.

The Bills (Hopefully) or Bengals need to force him outside the pocket. Take a few hits on him.

I hate the heat Reid gets over this. Reid made McNabb into a PB QB. Not the other way around imo. They lost to GSOT Rams in 01. By like 4 points or something. They lost to the 02 Bucs historic D. They lost to the much better team (Patriots) in Super Bowl. Reid made Smith a PB QB after he looked like a bust in SF. Made the PO four times with him BEFORE Mahomes started. I think Reid was a HOFer before winning a Super Bowl. Yes, there is no question that Mahomes makes it easier. But the guy was a great coach from the start imo. Let's put it this way: Reid made the postseason with a rejuvenated Vick he turned around. Alex Smith. Henne looked good out there today. The supposed top coach of all time has done.....nothing without Tom Brady. Note: I am a Bills & Football fan too. I lived in Philly. Those people think you did a miserable job if there wasn't a SB win. They look at it as all or nothing. Without any regard for the fact there is another team on that other sideline. I want to add that I am not arguing with you. I am going against what the media, Philly people, and others have always said about Reid.

I doubt it will have a huge effect on him next week.

Look at what Belichick did to him in the championship game a few years ago. Or other times Belichick limited him (And Hill at the time). Study those games. Put a corner on him. Make those other receivers beat you. Teams had the same issue with Brady & Gronk though. The dude always seemed to be open on every play.

Fair. But a Bengals win would be by no means an upset. This game will go down to the wire imo.

I hope we win. Have not lost a home playoff game in 26 years. To the second year Jags. If we win, Chiefs may be 6 point favorites in the neutral site. Suits us fine. If Bengals win, they will be heavy underdogs at Arrowhead. Suits them fine too.

Prime Moulds would be a HOF lock with J.A as his QB. Dude was ridiculous.

OL of Bengals. Bills being home. Does the home team still get three points. Because I suppose it would essentially be the Bills favored by like 2 or so.

Noticed the Bengals are like 5 point underdogs. Wow. Did not expect that. Why are the Bills favored by that much?

Elam should be starting. Forget about rookies vs veterans. You put the best players out there.

I'm not sold on the 49ers quite yet. Nor do I think that D is as great as portrayed. They have beaten some bad teams lately. Some not so great offenses and less than stellar QB's. KC & Vegas went up and down the field on that D.

I hope that Minnesota loss doesn't come back to haunt us. IE playing in a dome instead of Orchard Park in two weeks. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Offense first is the state of the league. That said, it's ridiculous to be passing on 3rd and 1 when up big. Not converting stops the clock. At least run it and see what happens. Go for it on 4th if need be.
