    Great.

     

    If they get bounced in the divisional round it will be fantastic.  If they are as bad as what I am reading here they should lose at home in the divisional round by 7 ore more.

     

    My question I guess is which team is going to do that to them exactly?  As we sit today a bills chiefs divisional round matchup is highly unlikely.  I will agree on this, if baltimore played KC next week I would think Baltimore wins the game for sure.  Just like I did in january.  

     

    lets say the chiefs get the 1 and the bills get the 2, Ravens 3 and houston 4.

     

    then lets say Pittsburgh, Denver and LA go 5, 6, 7.   

     

    Then lets say Bills over Chargers in a tight game, Baltimore over Denver in a tight game and Pittsbugh over houston in a tight game.  

    Are the steelers and their anemic offense going to KC and winning in the divisional round?  

     

    or say houston wins, is houston going to KC in the divisional round and winning with their pass protection issues?  They can play excellent defense like pittsburgh but can they make the clutch timely plays at KC to win?

     

    What you guys are telling me is that KC is going to lose at home to one of these other flawed teams.

     

    This is why the 1 seed is so important to buffalo, IMO, avoiding Baltimore in round 2 and playing the Chiefs at home if they both get to the championship game.

     

    Until I see different the only teams I see as able to stand in there and beat the chiefs at KC is Buffalo and Baltimore and the addendum to that is Lamar Jackson is 1-4 vs KC and that one win is a week 1 to start the 2021 season.

     

    anyway.  We all hope the chiefs lose and the bills get the 1 seed.

    I think pit would be a real problem for them…I guess we’ll see shortly lol. They would be praying Houston sneaks out of a hypothetical pit vs Houston matchup imo.

    Can you imagine this sort of end of game miracle happening to the bills? Other team drives down the field into FG range for the inevitable win, and the center snaps the ball on a dead ball foul, which the refs basically overrule to allow for a fumble recovery? 

    To be somewhat fair to the chiefs which I hate doing lol the broncos missed a chip shot against us last year and we bailed them out 🤣

    But the chiefs just did this last year?  They didn't beat any good teams in the regular season last year off the top of my head then they won in buffalo and in baltimore and a super bowl.

     

    what do the steelers have to do with anything?  There identity is losing playoff games, the polar opposite of KC.

    I don’t understand that part of the argument though…there’s a whole lot more going on contextually that didn’t happen to them last year and you’re saying they’ll do the same thing in the playoffs as last year 
     

    Having to shell out for Jones and let Sneed walk has had huge ripple effects on the db depth and the offensive tackle they drafted to shore up that position is looking like a bust, they lost two big time wrs to injury, and so on.  This is not the same chiefs team as even last year.  I mean I get the ‘mahomes can will them to victory in the playoffs’ argument in theory but he has so much to overcome this year I just don’t see it happening.  They really do look like paper tigers to me this year much like that Steelers team did

    so three missed field goals, getting stuffed on 4th and 1 and committing repeated pass interference penalties to extend drives for KC is fundamentally sound football?

     

    Ok then.

    What? You just disproved your own argument with what I was gonna say to you haha. Teams don’t have to play even close to a perfect game to beat kc anymore.  Heck the bills didn’t   

  5. Just now, MikePJ76 said:

    yes i understand that.  They already beat denver and LA once this year so what makes it so improbably they would beat them again?

     

    There is no column in the standings labeled "Almost".  Wins, Loss and Ties.  That is all their is.

     

    and the golden rule is, It's not HOW it's How many.  for the chiefs it currently is 11

    I think it’s a little bit dubious to just look at record when projecting future games lol. We’ll see what happens though.  This same argument happened over the 12-0 Steelers and it very much went the ‘eye test’ route 

  6. 6 minutes ago, MikePJ76 said:

    they are 11-1 and back to back super bowl champions.

     

    They win because they are good and beat people at the fundamentals.  They are no more lucky than Detroit was yesterday.  KC forces their opponents to play mistake free fundamentally sound football for 60 minutes.  Not many teams in this league can do that because its a pretty average league to be honest and hardly any teams actually demand excellence from their club.  Those day are gone.

     

     

    Considerably more inferior teams are beating them in the fundamentals haha I genuinely just don’t get what this side of the argument is seeing.  The raiders played extremely far from mistake free football tonight even before that late fumble and still outplayed the chiefs I’d say

    Very few are making that kick in that stadium with that environment. Plus the KC rush was heavy.  Butker would have made it but the opposing kicker gonna screw it up 

    Carlson was having a good year as far as I know…missing all three of those fgs is kind of crazy.  I could see goin 1 or 2/3 but missin all 3 is tough

    An NFL team with real Super Bowl talent can easily beat this team in Kansas City in the playoffs.  They're just not as good as their record indicates.

    I think there’s this notion kc transforms into a completely different team in the playoffs but it’s a bit of a stretch.  I don’t think the bills and dolphins could’ve combined teams to form one playoff caliber defense with all the injuries last year and chiefs got them both back to back.  Baltimore they won with basically all defense which has been their regular season brand too

    They're the best team in the league IMO. The way they beat the worst teams is the same way they beat the best teams. They lost to this same bad Raiders team on Christmas last year and everyone wrote their obituary. But they just kept finding a way to win when it counted. Personally I think the Bills are the one and only team that has a chance of stopping them.

    Idk there are huge red flags on this chiefs team for me…in the past it seemed like maybe they were going through the motions as the season went on but the talent was there.   this seems like big exploitable X’s and O’s deficiencies to me all season long and teams are all over them and things are getting worse as time goes on.
     

    That db depth is razor thin and the tackles have been pretty terrible.

     

    Dvoa had them at about the 7th best team which i could see…I think they’ll be dropping after this one even if/when they win.  At some point you cross into ‘why did we need to find a way to win against a scrub team’ territory when it happens a bunch of times

    This is heading to their most comfortable win all season 

    Yea on paper…they look as sloppy as last week to me though with the same glaring oline issues. I’m not seeing how they magically turn it around in the playoffs. Probably should’ve gone corner via trade instead of dhop imo they are sooo thin there

    I think Daboll's only chance is if the owner has been meddling with roster decisions and doesn't hold the results against Daboll/Schoen. For example, if the owner said sign Daniel Jones to a contract no matter what, their hands would have been kind of tied.

    Didn’t seem like that from the hard knocks clips…Mara was also like ‘saquon better not go to the eagles and play well’ so this is a situation where owner meddling might have improved the team 😂

     

    I think the giants tried to trade up for drake maye and nobody would help them move up so mara probably told Daboll/schoen ‘you did your best get what you can out of jones and your jobs are safe this year’ but this is definitely getting way uglier than mara expected lol

    Miami have an easy schedule from here on in.  I’d be shocked if a 10-7 team doesn’t get a wild card this year in the AFC.

    They’ll lose again for sure.  One of Houston, SF, Cleveland will definitely beat them.  Shanahan knows that scheme very well so I don’t think there’s much of a chance they beat SF

    No decline - teams have finally figured out how to slow him and Waddle up at the LOS messing up their timing routes.

        

     

    Same with Jets game Jan 5th

    Miami just doesn’t seem to widen the field enough on those passing plays it’s so odd…idk if it’s a tua limitation or what.  The defense knows how fast the ball is coming out and more or less exactly which third of the field it’s going to when it’s a passing play. GB did a nice job stuffing the run and got ahead pretty big early which makes that play action pass trickery not as effective

    Idk if I buy that 🤣. If Brady got benched over an injury guarantee I don’t think he’d like it a whole lot

    I’m happy with everything and like BB as a good young coach but I did think it’s hilarious how things are viewed sometimes. 
     

    Frazier and his top 3 defensive teams - soft, bum, 🤮

     

    Babich and his 15th ranked defense - tough, future head coach, 😍

    Idk if it’s warranted but coaches seem to get more credit for getting pretty decent results without much talented than getting great results loaded with talent 

     

    we’ve also seen how it ends with Frazier lol. If babich’s defense gets roasted in the playoffs too people will sour on him also

    That’s fair but we can also call a spade a spade. They are 10th in points per drive, 18th in yards per drive, 21st in plays per drive and 23rd in time per drive.

     

    They are above average at best. That’s still above average, but the worst since 2020 in basically every category. And yes, a lot of that has to do with guys like Williams and Hamlin starting, no doubt.

    I think the best thing we have going for us is that Babich is kind of a wild X factor. This D still has McD fingerprints but new DC means maybe we roll out some wrinkles KC or Baltimore isn’t prepared for.

     

    There’s reason for hope. I think our best chance to beat a team like KC in the postseason that has had our number historically is a coaching/strategic change that they may not expect.

    Yea that’s fair…if Milano gets back up to 80-90% down the stretch I think it could make a big difference but guess we’ll see.  Dorian is progressing well but he still seems to get picked on

     

    nothing will be as bad as that playoff defense against kc with aj klein taking all the MLB snaps lol
