I knew the chiefs game was over while watching injuries pile up in the Steelers game lol was actually surprised we had a shot late

Ravens fans have been saying he chokes every year but I’m not remembering too many personally

Seemed like a bit of load management going on with the Buffalo defense this year makin sure guys stayed healthy for the playoffs. Looked like Epenesa lost snaps to Von last week and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that again. Von was right at 50% last week but he probably got pulled when the game got out of hand so i wouldn’t be too surprised to see him at 55-60ish

Already took two,baby 😂

Already happening to me hahaha I’m sitting in the parking lot plotting a course to the nearest bathroom 😂

‘A good portion of his snaps are garbage time’ is definitely not an opinion lol it is a verifiable statement that is incorrect

I retired from sports betting at the wrong time lol. Betting the money lines against Darnold and Goff in their first playoff games this year seemed like really good value

I feel like the magical script that doesn’t actually exist could just as easily want Josh vs mahomes especially given we all got a pretty meh ravens chiefs afc championship last year

Ok but how does that improve Jared Goff lol this was the commanders…yea maybe you find a way past them with a healthier defense but it was just the first step. They’d still have to get through the eagles and whoever is in the Super Bowl. Do you have full confidence in Goff to get that done? I l think it’s pretty fair to have doubts especially when you couple it with getting pantsed by belichick in the superbowl with the rams and one of the best offensive minds in the nfl giving up on him not to mention Ben Johnson is leavin so that could have a negative impact too idk why we’re so hellbent on choosing one thing to get all the blame in a game lol. The defense was bad of course, but Goff wasn’t good either

I’d probably be drafting some mid-late round qbs if I was Detroit out of mild concern…yea the defense was bad but that’s pretty independent of how Goff played. It’s not the first time Goff has had a down game at the worst possible time in a great offensive system. And the wizard behind that previous offensive system felt he had to take a huge swing at qb cuz Goff just wasn’t quite good enough

I’m sure they got a pretty good glimpse at what McVay saw in LA but I just don’t know what they can do to instantly upgrade the position. Any other guy they could realistically bring in is pretty much Jared Goff at best on a good day

Spags is pushing 70 and Quinn is like 10 years younger. I think that’s pretty much the only thing stopping him from getting another shot

Too old most likely. He has said he’d like to come back as a head coach a few times but I think that’s the hangup for teams. Even if he’s good I think it’s assumed he’s not gonna coach well into his 70s so you probably are only getting 5-6 years of him then starting over with the ‘he’s a failed head coach’ risk on the back of peoples minds I think the age thing is just one too many points against him

They lost in the divisional as a 1 seed once though too 😂

Super Bowl appearances seem to be worth a little something but I largely agree. This game is getting hyped up to be THE game of the playoffs but whoever wins will quickly get the ‘yea but they can’t beat mahomes’ treatment

What? Lol. I’m saying the bills beating the ravens suddenly won’t mean anything to anyone despite them being hyped up as the best team in the league and absolutely unstoppable all week if/when it happens . im not saying they should get credit for losing to the ravens 😂.

Sad thing is the bills probably have to go back to back wins against Baltimore and KC to get any amount of credit at all lol the divisional will mean nothing once it doesn’t go all these analysts’ way

Lol truth. Granted Detroit has well documented injury issues of their own I fully acknowledge that but if the bills weren’t way down the depth chart at a few defensive positions by the third quarter I think we blow Detroit out in that one and I don’t know how far behind Baltimore they are offensively if at all

Borgonzi Scheme

I did that for the bills chiefs afc championship time wise (tickets were way more expensive),bills lost and I still had a great time if that counts for anything haha

Pit legitimately seemed like they were trying to take the wrong guy on the read option as often as they could haha idk if they got overhyped trying to bottle up Henry or Lamar or what but something went very very wrong in the gameplan phase

It’s crazy how much is riding on each game in football…a Harbaugh loss in the divisional might put him in the hot seat much like a mcd loss might. Huge stakes for players and coaches alike despite it being a single 60 minutes of football

When you start flooding the field with olinemen/fbs you make your intentions pretty clear. Henry doesn’t really have crazy burst off the line either, if you start shooting those gaps in the run game you can definitely trip him up before he gets going it’s not impossible. Bills really haven’t been bad in obvious running situations to my eye in fact we’ve made a bunch of short yardage stops this year it feels like.

Best DC on the planet is pretty strong recency bias. Pretty sure the chiefs averaged 25+ ppg allowed in every playoff run up to last season. That ain’t far off mcd numbers. Really the only year he’s earned potential ‘best DC on the planet’ label is last year. They haven’t had a playoff run where they didn’t have a game allowing over 30 until 2023. I really think 13 seconds is warping peoples memory a bit and like I get it that was horrible but godda*n you’re facing potentially 3 other teams with hof level qbs in the afc playoffs there’s gonna be games you need to drop 30+ no matter who your coach is and your offense is gonna need to make a play late to seal it. Idk how bringing in another coach is gonna do much to change that fact. I’m all for Josh Allen is the best player in the world type talk but mahomes, burrow, and Lamar are right behind even for believers of that Difference is when the chiefs offense has needed a dagger to seal a game late in the playoffs they pretty much always come up with it. Heck even Chad freakin henne came in and led a td drive in the playoffs to pick up an injured mahomes one year 😂. Like yea the chiefs replaced DCs after losing to NE in the playoffs a few times (Reid’s offense also blew one and lost to pit 16-18), but Brady also left the conference haha I think that’s pretty significant to mention

Oh yea that’s the situation…as it stands I think the odds things get worse greatly exceed the odds things get better. Pretty much anything can happen bringing in a first time head coach. if we start losing not very close playoff games consistently or choke in the wildcard round, blow the division title etc the decision gets a lot easier/low risk but we’re not there yet imo. If we lose a two score game to the ravens that’s certainly ammo for the fire side. I do think the regular season success vs kc is getting downplayed a bit personally which factors in. They are mostly the same kind of games as the playoff ones with us making the 1-2 more plays that can swing a close game instead of them. Only difference is the sample size. If these teams played eachother 20 times playoffs or not I think you’d end up with a pretty even split in wins. People repeat ‘the chiefs don’t try in the regular season’ thing but the last two times we saw them they were fighting for an undefeated season and trying to deliver the killshot to knock us out of the playoffs.
