for all intents and purposes, this game is a sellout 1 hr 40 mins into the presale. both chiefs and bills fans gobbled up their entire allotments. pretty epic!

imo you are much better off waiting.

on the bills side lower level between the 20s, there's already 13 different sets of tickets being re-sold. cost of each set (per ticket): $2547 $2557 $2215 $2557 $2045 $2045 $2045 $2506 $2769 $2437 $1636 $2557 $2336 These are more than 3x markup literal minutes after purchasing. Plus re-sale fees.

what was the cost for the most expensive seats in various sections (ie lower level 50 yard line, lower level 25 yd line, etc)

in a quick search of twitter many chiefs fans saying they didn't get their code yet. bills tickets are flying off the shelves meanwhile. any bills fans who haven't gotten their code?

knowing who is home team (and thus gets the home sideline) is important for ticket buying in the event they don't make it clear.

there were 31 possessions in the bills-dolphins game. at halftime of bengals-ravens, there have been ... 6!

not sure if this has been discussed or followed up on, maybe it was nothing, but allen got hit on his elbow on this sack and then didn't have to throw again for the rest of the game since they were running out the clock. assume he's fine, but curious if anyone noticed any re-aggravation (if that's even possible at this point.)

chiefs vs jags unreal

i keep coming back to this: this seemed to be a pretty big tell that the doctor wasn't ultimately going to clear him in real time. now it seems like it's more the case after this latest news.

the current line is a straddle between the possibility of tua playing or not playing. if tua is in, line will be dolphins +7.5 if he's out, line will be about 11.

one of the worst posts i've read on this site. we're a week removed from "who cares about football" and "there's more important things in life" and right back to "let's capitalize on the fact that a concussed player is playing and try to take him out!" the bills don't need to intentionally concuss or injure tua to win.

Yes. But this year's Bills team on paper is probably the best version of the team we'll see in the immediate future. With Hyde and Von, plus fully healthy versions of White and Poyer, I don't think you can top the roster that's put together this year top to bottom. I'd put it up there with any roster of the last decade. This year's Chiefs team might be the worst we've seen in the Mahomes era, and might be the worst we see going forward a few years too. The Chiefs hit on basically every single draft pick last year, saved a bunch of money on the Tyreek trade, potentially replaced him by stealing Toney from the Giants, and still have some extra draft capital/money to maneuver next offseason. The Bills will be fine going forward, but would do themselves a big favor cashing in this year.

The good news is that the top 10 teams on this list are either a) non playoff teams; b) teams that have no franchise QB; or c) teams that have an uncertain QB on a rookie deal. The Bills are third to last but will have a very strong roster next year and should have some maneuverability to plug a few leaks. Unlikely to see a spending spree however. The Chiefs, Bengals and Jags are the only AFC playoff teams that crack the top half of this list. But unlike the Chiefs, who signed Mahomes to a huge deal a few years back, the Bengals and Jags still have Burrow and Lawrence on rookie deals. Miami is not in a great position.

they should put bengals/ravens on saturday and bills/dolphins on monday to give the bengals a two-day preparation edge. that smooths over the inequity of buffalo being handed a home game.

Best locations in order: 1. chicago - roughly 8 hr drive from both KC and Buffalo. outdoor stadium. about as close as you can get to conditions you would expect in either buffalo or KC in late january. hotel situation is sufficient. 2. nashville - roughly 8 hr drive from KC and 10-hr drive from Buffalo. both teams fan bases travel here semi often and fill the stadium. Weather unpredictable but more likely to be nice than crappy. 3. miami - same flight time for both teams, both fans can get there with nonstop flight or easy connector. good stadium, adequate hotel situation, fun travel spot for visiting fans others worthy of consideration: 4. las vegas. it's a shorter flight for KC, but both fan bases would have a blast traveling to this game and would make for one heck of a spectacle. 5 (t). atlanta/minnesota - similar situation to miami.

just read through this thread. disgusting display. some folks wishing for mahomes concussions and injuries in the same week hamlin goes out with a serious injury need to reevaluate life. let's be better!

toney coming out party in KC, he is a bad man

is there a single raiders fan in that stadium?

Goodell: "Buffalo, would you like to continue the game vs Cincinnati? You'll trail 7-3 and Bengals have ball at midfield." Bills: "Nah, let's just call it a draw and change all the rules so that we can get most of the same benefits with zero risk of falling to the 3 seed." Bengals: "Well, actually, we feel this is very unf..." Goodell (interrupts): "I didn't ask you!"

Wolf Blitzer will have an exclusive interview with the NFL chief medical officer re: Hamlin next on CNN

This is the same Iowa fan base that does all the stuff to spotlight the children's hospital (and waves to them every game, raising even more awareness), and the same Chiefs fans who last year, after beating the Bills, decided to collectively donate several hundred thousand dollars to Oishei last year as a show of sportsmanship to Josh Allen for playing a great game. And the same fans who have donated to Hamlin? https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article270700212.html

So in other words, the Chiefs have ONE chance. They'd have to roll snake eyes. The second AFC team they played was Colts (2). The Bills (4) and Bengals (8) would be automatic leap frogs. So it would have to roll snake eyes for the Chiefs to secure the 1 seed. The odds of rolling snake eyes is 1 out of 36. With your suggested method, you've now turned the Chiefs' chances of a 1 seed (previously about 50-50 if Bills-Bengals was played to completion and Bills lost) to now a 2.7% chance. Brilliant idea!
