Sometimes it just doesn't seem real. This is honestly reminding me of the Sabres and their 2006 Cup run. I remember analyzing the brackets at the start of the playoffs and just naturally NOT being afraid of anyone in our entire conference. And then we breeze through the first 2 rounds and it made sense; we were just a better team. I guess when the rest of the league starts to look inferior or non-threatening, you know your team is really good. I'm with you these days. Where are all the "good" teams? Why don't more teams seem threatening right now? Answer is because we are so elevated right now. It's not that the other teams got bad, we got super good. It's still sinking in.

Might take a look at the Giants as I haven't seen them much so far. I think the Jags will win that one. Titans/Colts should be interesting too. I guess the Packers game will be interesting purely because we play them next, so I wonder if they'll simplify the offense as Rodgers wants, and if they do will they improve much? 49ers/Chiefs should be good. Hopefully the 9ers can hand them another loss and put them even further back. I'll also be interested in the Jets and Phins games. The Phins is more intriguing because of Tua coming back. A. will he give them back the spark they had before he went down? B. Will he last the whole game without getting concussed again? I think KC wins comfortably. I know the NFL is a week to week league but the 49ers D got thrashed last week by the Falcons. You know the Chiefs are in a bad mood after last week. They also know they can't fall further back if they want to catch the Bills. I think this game will go like Chiefs - Bucs game. I hope I am wrong and SF wins.

The 9ers dont really have a shot when you consider it is Mahomes vs Jimmy G at QB. No way Jimmy keeps up with the other offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can hatewatch at least one team, I'll put it on. These two games qualify. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Greg S said: That Alabama - Tennessee game was crazy last week. The problem with CFB is there are too many blowouts. Even when the game is expected to be close like Michigan and Penn St last week. That was 41-17 Michigan. That was a tremendous game between Alabama and Tennessee. To see the joy and relief from the Tennessee fans after finally beating Alabama after 15 straight losses (many of them beatdowns) was really special. Especially when you are big college football fan and can appreciate the moment and the big picture of it. Michigan is my school and my team. I was pretty pumped by the beatdown of Penn State. I was not expecting that. Jim Harbaugh coaches football like its 1975 still and Bo Schembechler is still coaching the Maize and Blue. Big time running game with a good O line and tough defense. That can work a lot of the time with good line play. But beating the big dogs like Ohio State Alabama Georgia, etc in the playoff, we will need to get a downfield passing game going. The 6 yard crossing pass to our slow TE will only get us so far. And don't forget about the USC-Utah game Saturday nite. A barnburner for the Utes. 43-42. And if you really want a deep cut how about Georgia Southern beating #25 James Madison 45-38 Saturday evening. That's was a great game too. My son plays for Georgia Southern. So I watch all the games on ESPN Plus on my laptop. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if you could, though? 17 straight weeks of Bills-Chiefs, with the overall winner determining home field for the championship Bills-Chiefs game for all the marbles? It would sure beat watching Justin Fields, Baker Mayfield, and Russell Wilson "play football"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninja Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Watching Bills-Chiefs reminds me of Manning-Brady matchups and thinking, “oh so THIS is what it’s supposed to look like!” Even RedZone is lame by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA OC Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I remember the 1993 season (had to Google the year, my memory isn't THAT good) when the NFL expanded to 18 weeks giving each team two byes. There were teams on bye every week of the season, even weeks 1 and week 18. There were SEVERAL weeks that the games just completely sucked! Pretty sure that's why they only had it the one year. "The double byes are a double disaster," then-Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King wrote in 1993. "... The bonehead result was that there were as few as 10 games per weekend through the first two months of the season, not 14. Fewer games, fewer chances for good games, obviously. Another by-product of the double bye: With so much time off between games, teams fall out of sync." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cards-Saints tonight Steelers-Dolphins Sunday night Bears-Patriots Monday night Ever since Josh and Pat reached atomic, world-destroying alien status, all other NFL games suddenly seem quite boring by comparison. These dudes have broken football for me. Besides Bills game, I watch AFCE games the most so I’m pretty ecstatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
