I wonder if all the negative ref talk and chatter about the games being rigged had any impact on KC. I mean, they were fielding questions about it during media days.

Isn’t Groot valued at $25M/yr?

I was going to say “my, my, my how different it is when the refs call offensive holding.” First flags of that nature in their last 3 SBs.

I didn’t think they’d stop Sonic and Knuckles with Detroit’s offensive line. Can’t concede that Barkley for sure would’ve ran all over us. He’d be doing better than he is against KC, but to say it’d be 27-10 at halftime just completely discounts the Allen led attack and their hold on the football.

The Eagles are very good, but you guys need to stop comparing the Chiefs performance to the Bills. It’d be two totally different games, who knows which side momentum would be on. The Eagles almost got caught by the Rams in the divisional, they squeaked by the Panthers late in the year and got stomped by the Bucs early in the season. The Bills absolutely could’ve came in and went toe to toe with them.

While they certainly could’ve beaten the Bills, our OL would’ve held up better than KC’s, so the offense wouldn’t have been this bogged down. I think it would’ve been a hard fought game, score at half would be something like 17-13 in either direction.

KC’s OL is getting EXPOSED

Think it would’ve looked very much like the Ravens game. Hard fought back and forth with both offenses making plays.

KC was down 10-0 against the 9ers twice and down against the Eagles the last time they played. Philly has to keep pressure on Mahomes, they’ll come alive at some point.

Better DL and DB play. Our LBs are fine.

Eagles rebuilt their defense in like 2 drafts.

Yeah, if it was a called run, you’d have lineman blocking downfield. Still, 1st and 15 is better than 2nd and 12.

Chiefs fans: hE wAsN’T Offside!

Chiefs already have the same number of punts in the 1st Q than they had against the Bills in the entire game.

Hurts squats 600 pounds.

Dejean or McConkey to the Bills at #33 in a redraft.

Every call is justified if it’s in their favor. If the same call was made against KC on 4th down they’d be livid.

Did the stadium fill up?

Nope, always hurt. Curtis Samuel was deemed “Deebo-lite” and made minimal impact aside from the KC regular season game.

“Teflon” Sean 😆

The reason those numbers stuck in my mind, all the way to being able to recall 6-11 against zone, was that it totally caught me by surprise. I’ve been wanting the Bills to run man more often and bring more pressure, so when it was assessed they ran man 43% of the time against the Chiefs and Ravens and the result was that poor, it was one of those “careful what you wish for” moments for me. We need to overhaul our slow footed secondary and get a difference maker on the line of scrimmage. Do those two things and the shift in performance will be drastic whether we run man or zone, I think.

I remember listening, but you’ve got it backwards. Against the Bills, Mahomes was much better against man (almost near perfect) than zone (something like 6-11 for modest yards).

You’d think Kincaid would have better instincts with the ball in his hand too. After he caught that pass, if he gave a little jab step to the left to get the defender moving that way, he could’ve EASILY gotten the first if he took it wide to the sideline instead of cutting it up inside. Truthfully, he would’ve got the first if he just went wide without the jab step, that deke move would’ve been to make that particular defender a total non factor which would’ve resulted in a much bigger play. Laporta probably makes that first down and probably that catch on 4th down.

It’s called when it’s hung onto, not when it’s grabbed and let go a second later. Our own Benford gets away with this all the time.

If I recall, Bradberry also said he tugged on the jersey because the officials had been letting them play all game, but in that critical instance they called him for it. That’s the very definition of inconsistent. That sort of tug happens all the time with DBs and is rarely called. Do you disagree? To call it in that moment, knowing full well the ramifications of the penalty on a 3rd and 9, it was just a disgusting end to a highly competitive SB. If it happened in the Bills favor I’d laugh and say “I’ll take it!” knowing it’s a call that shouldn’t have been made. As officials, they should’ve let them play, call a foul if it’s egregious and has to be called, don’t call something ticky tack that decides the game. People get upset when inconsistencies and inaccuracies tend to favor one team. That’s the crux of the hate. Except there’s tons of evidence out there to the contrary, most notably how their offensive line gets away with continuous holds. Not during the regular season, they’re called for it then, but in the postseason? They still play the way they’re accustomed to playing, but the refs have swallowed their whistles.
