We have to win the TO battle in general. If we do that, I like our chances. I think Pat could throw an INT on Sunday as well. I don't necessarily expect an INT from Josh on Sunday at all. This is Playoff Josh. The cape is on. We've seen this guy before. That KC defense is better than at any point in recent memory though. I think we see a close game in the same score range as before. If we win the TO battle, Bills win the game. If we don't, Chiefs likely win the game.

Tua is a good guy, and a good teammate by all accounts. It kind of reminds me of us with Tyrod. Tyrod was a good dude. But Tyrod was never going to take us anywhere here, just like Tua is never taking Miami anywhere either.

This is just the latest bull crap they are coming up with trying to discredit Allen, his ability, and the fact he is an elite QB in the NFL. In the beginning he was too erratic. Then is was he's too careless with the football. Then it was he's good, but "sugar high" will ruin everything. Then it's back to the turnovers ruining everything. Now it's not only the turnovers and the "hero ball", but it's the fake slides and the flopping. I can't ever remember a QB they tried SO HARD to discredit, or run down at every turn, and this is in spite of the NUMEROUS records he is setting on the field for total TD's, total yards, and things of the like. They slobber all over guys like Mahomes (who is a great QB and he has 2 rings), Lamar, Hurts, Burrow, and Tua. They make excuses for them at every turn. But with Josh, it's mainly the negatives they push to the forefront despite the greatness you see on the field if you actually watch him. It's absolutely personal with some of the bobbleheads you see on TV. Either way, I'm sure it just fuels the fire in Josh. Makes him want to succeed that much more.

We have won 6 games in a row. We went from the #11 seed to the #2 seed. We secured that #2 seed with a road win against a hated division rival in the final game of the regular season. Along the way we beat the NFC #2 seed, regardless of what happened to them last week, and the Chiefs in Arrowhead.....again. We then took care of business against a scrappy Pittsburgh team on Monday while our defensive starters, and replacements from previously injured starters, dropped like flies. We all want to win this game. McDermott, Beane, the Pegula's, the players, and the fans. All of us. We all want to get the monkey off of our backs and prove that the Chiefs don't own us in the Playoffs. McDermott wants to get past his old coach when it matters most. Josh, Diggs, Dawkins, Morse, Oliver, Rousseau, Hyde, Poyer, EVERYONE wants this more than anything. But if you think McDermott is on the hot seat after the run we've had since early December, you are terribly mistaken.

Trying to see if they can sucker in any new "subscribers" by bumping him up a bit

From the time I watched one of their little YouTube videos, probably about 5 or 6 years ago, and the clowns were claiming "they could tell which teams were going by the PFF draft guide, which was in circulation with all of the NFL GM's and FO's," after a recently completed NFL draft, I knew these guys were full of 💩. I'm thinking it was after the 2018 draft when I stumbled upon that gem. What a bunch of 🤡's, and Collinsworth is the one driving the VW.

So don't watch him. He's a Chiefs fanboy. Plus one of the main reasons he is on TV, is because he gets under people's skin. It generates clicks. It generates interaction. That's all the company he works for cares about. If that were to disappear, so would he.

I'm not high on this year's draft class like some are. Caleb Williams is heralded as the best QB prospect, but I think he folds under pressure. Happened against Utah twice last year, saw it against ND this year, and Oregon this year. He has all the talent in the world, but seems to rely on the talent alone. When things go south, it almost seems like he can't shake it off. He'll likely be the first QB off of the board, but I don't see him as a surefire franchise QB or anything. I like Bo Nix, and I think you are correct in your assessment (DCOrange) that he could do well in a timing based offense. I also like his overall athleticism for today's game, as he can run enough and has enough movement in the pocket to get free or extend plays. I also think he's pretty quick through his progressions and has a pretty good feel with his ball placement. I'm not that high on Daniels either. Like you said, great runner and meh passer. Drake Maye is hard to read for me. I don't think he's that good, just my two, but he does have all the tools. His arm isn't really all that impressive and I've seen him be indecisive at times. He had some pretty rough games this year too, but his favorite WR did go to the NFL last draft. Josh Downs was his guy. Michael Penix is going to be solid I believe. Probably won't be a 1st Round pick, but he has a live arm and can make every throw. He did have a plethora of talent at the WR position though. I think the landing spot will be key for him as well. JJ McCarthy is not someone I'm really high on. His numbers were meh, Michigan doesn't really lean on him, and they had one of the best OL's in the country. I really don't think he will be much of anything in the NFL and Harbaugh basically covered him up the last 2 years.

Only way I'd sign up is if they were streaming exclusive, current, Playoff games. Just kidding. I didn't sign up for Peacock either.

Should have just let Josh punt too. He does everything else.

"I feel stunning and entrancing, feel like running and dancing for joy"

He is though, for You Already Shnow University.

That's crazy and sad at the same time. I know some people will say, "oh yeah, poor billionaire," or something like that. But addiction is a monster, whether rich or poor. Every time you look at him or hear him speak, you can tell something is off. Then all of the back and forth about his previous arrest here recently. They will die on that hill of denial. It also goes to show that money cannot buy happiness. I hope he can get his life in order because Lord knows how much time he actually has left at this point.

I think the "ban hammer" should be exercised on the loser of this bet.

The first thing I thought after seeing this? The NFL wants to make sure KC has the best opportunity to move on so all of the "Swift'ies" will keep bumping up viewership.

This is just a repeat of the situation the NY Giants found themselves in with Daniel Jones. I don't care about athletic comparisons or what each does better than the other, the situation for the franchises are the same. Both of them are meh QB's that are injury prone and will never lead a team to a SB. Still, the franchises themselves are between a rock and a hard place. What's the option if you don't re-sign them? If you do re-sign them then you're really just setting your franchise back a few years. The Giants re-signed Daniel Jones. We saw how that played out this year. One can only hope Miami is just as stupid and the financial commitment hamstrings them for the foreseeable future.

Playoff football. This one ought to be a dogfight. I know we're injured across the board, especially on defense, but these guys are all contributing. Every one who steps on the field seems to be making plays at one point or another. They are a bit more healthy than last time, but Josh has played well against them every game since that AFCCG. I expect this one to be no different. I also get the feeling Brady has been saving some stuff for the Playoffs. Don't be surprised to see a few new concepts and wrinkles thrown in this week. Ric Flair used to say, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man." That's what JA17 and these Bills need to finally do in the Playoffs this Sunday.

Personally, I love Josh getting snubbed for everything. Snubbed on the MVP voting. Snubbed for the Pro Bowl. Snubbed for the All Pro team. It's great. I hope they keep pissing him off at every turn. That's been the story of his life and the source of the chip on his shoulder since HS. Go out there, flex on all of them, and get the ONLY trophy that matters.

The Chiefs fan has been on here whinging about this one play for 7 hours.

I honestly think that may have been part of the gameplan, to try and disrupt his throwing lanes. You saw the spotlight and heard Romo in the beginning talking about how Rudolph loves to throw those slants and crossing routes. A lot of times our guys just held up the blockers and looked to get a hand in the throwing lanes. There was pressure at times, mainly from Oliver or someone else in the middle. It made Rudolph have to double clutch and try to reset because someone was getting pushed into him.

And Baker is playing the best football of his career. They still have Evans, Godwin, Otton, and White really came on this year at the RB position. They will be a tough out.

I was happy with his performance. We were down to our 2nd and 3rd string CB's last night. Dionte Johnson is no slouch and Pickens has the talent to be one of the best WR's in this league. Kaiir held his own for a guy who probably didn't even get many practice reps this past week before the game. His INT turned out to be a 14 point swing. It was about to be 14-7, he gets the pick, and the ensuing drive ended up being the 52 yd TD run by Josh. 21-0. Huge play. I'm REALLY hoping we get Douglas and Johnson back this week. We are literally the walking wounded now. Even still, I am not overly worried if Elam has to see extended playing time this week. This team just feels like everyone is on a mission, all 53 and then some.

Offense, the Shakir TD. Defense, the Elam INT in the endzone.

Just wait until next week when Mahomes is our opposing QB. He will be insufferable again.
