Tom Brady had elite defenses and won many playoff games with totally subpar stat lines, including his last SB in NE. Some of those wins he had a similar stat line to Allen's terrible playoff game vs Cincy. We don't have an elite defense this season, and I doubt we'll have one soon. Best bet is to stack points and get teams out of their offensive game plan (which would probably be to run it all over our soft defense).

I would argue the first int had nothing to do with the game plan or opening it up really. It was the 2nd or 3rd play of the game due to an unblocked rusher. I would say only one INT was due to opening things up, and it was on 4th down anyway.

My head tells me we probably are knocked out in the divisional round, but my heart tells me we could make it to the AFCCG. I think later in the season/playoffs we'll see more designed QB runs, and Allen will be less hesitant to take off and pick up first downs with his legs (it almost feels like he's instructed not to right now).

I think his ceiling is a Pro Bowler and a good starter. Considering how bad our safety play has been since Poyer/Hyde part I, that would be a huge improvement to the defense.

I hope we don't play a conservative game plan. I don't think our defense is stopping anybody, so we really need to just stack points.

I think they need to go 6-1 the rest of the way. 10-7 probably won’t get in because they don’t have any tie breakers. I also don’t think the Broncos will collapse enough to pass. It’s not impossible, but it’s a tall order.

They easily could have lost to the Jets this past week if the Jets had an average NFL QB. And the Jets might be the worst team in the league. Jets were within 1 score in the 4th quarter.

Really hope Coleman isn’t active again. In theory his punishment could be one game if they were serious about it just being for disciplinary reasons.

I would have taken the points there. It isn’t like the Eagles are lighting it up. You don’t need to chase points to keep up.

They gave up 13 points in the 4th quarter after Gabriel left the game. Sanders was giving the ball away and couldn’t even get a 1st down.

Matt Stafford with 50% completion percentage, 130 yards and 4.6 YPA doesn’t scream MVP to me. If Allen can’t get it I hope Jonathan Taylor gets it.

didn’t even get hit in the helmet

Ravens keep playing like this they are going to miss the playoffs anyway.

Oh man, Lamar just threw what should have been his 3rd INT in the endzone.

Okay, well the penalties have gifted the Chiefs 40+ yards on a prayer bomb DPI, erased a 40+ yard INT return on a phantom blind side block call, and eliminated a pick-6 on a ticky tack illegal contact call they almost never make (that was away from the play anyway). Sometimes it’s not about the number of calls.

The illegal block penalty was because they blocked Mahomes, they should know better that he can't be touched.

Refball trying to bail out the Chiefs, feels like a broken record

Yo, that was a turnover. Kelce's knee never touched

Chiefs not beating the allegations here

I'm greedy, so I want the Broncos to at least split with KC and then drop games elsewhere. I'm still holding out for Bills #1 seed and BAL/KC both miss (still possible!)

A few thoughts: - If we continue to play with a more open offensive game plan like this, we'll get better at executing it - Keon Coleman can stay on the bench. Any chance Allen throws that tight window 4th down pass to Coleman? No way, and even if he did no way he holds on like Gabe did. - Wow, our run defense is bad.

Lol, did the game day presentation call down to give time for Mr. Brightside or something?

The 2009 Patriots absolutely would still be throwing down the field here.

Bosa sucks today

Drake Maye has never thrown for 300 yards
