Are the Chiefs overhyped?

This has been such a bizarre year.

 

KC lost to Indy and barely beat Den, Hou, and Titans.

 

We lost to the Jets and barely beat Detroit & Miami in the snow.

 

Other things too.

 

To answer the question, I am not sure there is a juggernaut in the AFC. Teams have gotten lucky. Teams have gotten unlucky.

 

Philly is the 1 seed. But they barely beat Chicago, Hou, Indy. Lost to Wsh.

 

What team doesn't have flaws?

Considering every post on here critiquing the Bills or coaching is met with "Hey, we're 12-3", no, the Chiefs are 12-3 so they are not overhyped.

 

Now if you want to claim the Chiefs aren't that good despite their record, you have to open the door to the possibility Buff isn't either.  You can't have it both ways.  Either only the record matters, or it doesn't.

Bills are more overhyped than the Chiefs. I think they are hyping up the Bills because people are sick of the Chiefs. They are hoping the Bills can be that team but maybe it's the Bengals so I expect whoever wins our Monday night game will be hyped as the team to beat

Agreed.

 

We can say they have been lucky at times. But they were also unlucky in losses to Indy & Cin.

 

We got lucky against Baltimore, Miami in snow, and Detroit. Those all very well should have been losses.

 

To your point, if we are going to say the Chiefs aren't what the record says, than the Bills need the same treatment. 

 

I have absolutely no idea anymore who will come out of the AFC. Every team is flawed. NFC has Eagles. I'd be stunned if they lose before the Super Bowl.

All teams have their issues. All teams treat the Bills/Chiefs every week like it’s their SB. It’s hard, even with how talented both teams are, to get up for every opponent and blow them out. The key is that these teams keep winning despite all that

There are 3 teams at the top of the AFC. Buffalo, KC, and Cincy. One could beat the other on any given Sunday. All 3 of the teams are really good. None of them are great. If we still had Micah and Von, then we would be head and shoulders above the rest. No one can rationally argue the fact, though, that the Chiefs are NOT the same without Tyreke Hill.

Mahomes just had another huge game in a win and you guys are acting like the Chiefs are terrible. Every team in the NFL is beatable. We lost to Zack Wilson. The Chiefs had a close game but won and Mahomes is likely the MVP. His numbers are ridiculous

I am not sure how much the 1 seed matters anymore. 

 

Look at the last two SB winners. Neither were 1 seeds. 

 

If us and KC fave off, crowd noise likely will not be the factor.

 

Mahomes has yet to play a road playoff game.  I'd love for us to be his first.

C’mon man.  The only time the #1 seed is not important, is when your team doesn’t end up with it.

They aren't that explosive offense without him. But they have proven he isn't needed to win.

 

It will come down to Kelce getting double teamed in the PO. Someone else will need to step up for them.

 

Same with us and Diggs.

 

Cincinnati has two elite receivers. All around best offense maybe.

You play 1 less game! That’s huge
