Sweats Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I'll be some pissed if we ever lost to the Fish in the 1st round of the playoffs....not only are we the better team, Tua and the bearded Amish one dont deserve it.

Expand Also energy/momentum/winning attitude entering playoffs - and ask the Titans about how fun it is to travel to cold weather sites this time of year. People also seem to be forgetting the bold above - for an awesomely untouchable unbeatable team the Chiefs have had a lot of games recently they could have lost

I just feel like as long as we can contain Gesicki better than we did in our first matchup at the beginning of the season, we win fairly easily.

You don't want him rusty either so a little play is good. But I'm thinking coaches, players, owners, GM and fans all want this to be a "statement" game on the national stage against a hated team and head coach.

Expand I really think the Steelers are going to waive the white flag to the bills and rest their starters given the issues they have had. Colts won't lose to the jaguars for a second time the wild card to me is what the Texans can do to the titans. After what jj watt said after last week I think they play inspired and might clip the titans. Also ravens won't lose either

Big Blitz Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) The "if we win" week 16 chart looks a whole lot better then the "if we lose" week 17 chart.

That offense does look much more effective with fitzpatrick I can't believe Tua is seeing any playing time at all..he just holds the ball too long

ngbills Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Win and it’s most likely Mia or Indy. We lose and it’s likely Cle or Balt.
