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.
