SNF - Houston @ KC Game thread (the Bills lamp is lit)

[Turf Toejam 34]

Poor clock management there.   And we think McD is bad.  

[HappyDays]

Houston's offense is almost as bad as their defense is good. You have to try and beat them something like 20-17.

That's the most unhappy I've seen Andy Reid

I think Mills was running the offense better. The offense ran with rhythm and didn't depend so much on deep shots and long developing routes.

Should be an interesting halftime in the KC locker room, and suspect they will be looking for a kicker this week.

[zow2]

Did the Chiefs go to halftime with all 3 timeouts in their pocket?

I'm going to get flamed but I think mahomes is way closer to the end than the beginning 

 

Everybody talks about Allen and how long he's going to play... Josh takes care of his body much better.. carries himself much better on the field.. Pat is always limping around 

 

Just like Tom stuck around for years after Manning and cemented himself I think Josh does the same

 

Pat looks 30 going on 35 sometimes

God, I'm so confused.  I don't want either the Texans or the Chiefs to win....

 

I am struggling big time. KC, in the playoffs, has been a nightmare. But I hate the Texans. Really hoping for a tie.

[Brand J]

Texans should’ve immediately called a TO when they picked up the first. Just totally botched the end of the half.

In truth, I would have preferred Stroud when we played them.  Mills is more poised and accurate, IMO.

I thought his weird body started breaking down on him about a year or two ago.

That breakdown is advancing more slowly than I thought it would, but it is advancing, imo.

Of course it's advancing 

 

It's very plain to see... Obviously still terrific but he looks like a guy whose body's not going to hold up another 9 or 10 years in the league 

 

There was an interview with Brady back in the day when he was like already 30 plus .. they were talking about him and Manning's legacy 

 

And he basically said.. just watch.. I'm not close to done and I know he does not have much time left... Basically said he knows the way he takes care of his body is much better than Manning and he's not breaking down

I dont know about all that.  When the Bills played the Texans people on social media were saying that about Allen.  That he looks old, slower and not confident.  Maybe it’s just the Houston defense ?!?

Good points, but I maintain the decline of Kelce has a lot to do with it. Mahomes looked like a candidate for GOAT his first few seasons. He was unstoppable, the likes of which were never seen. He was a very lucky guy, he was gifted Reid, Kelce, and Tyreek Hill to begin his career. Then he lucked into guys like Sammy Watkins randomly dominating playoff games.

I mean Josh was still trying to be super human with two hurt tackles lol

 

Look at Josh break off his 40-yard touchdown run today Patrick mahomes does not have that explosiveness still.. Pat could move around and make some plays he doesn't have that anymore 

 

Sure that defense beat us up too but if you watch the Chiefs over the last 25 games and watched the bills their body language is not the same one guy is a lot more beat up consistently

 

Back to this Texans game they are a good team but I'm not sure if CJ Stroud is going to play up or down in the playoffs

Just checked in...read post sporadically. It's halftime so general comment. ....

 

I love the Chiefs struggling at home. Texans are dangerous, but I don't care. Chiefs and their fans need to go away.

I agree, I think the offensive talent is lacking in KC. That will make a QB look old and slow. Kelce puts up good numbers, but is no longer dominant. He’s the guy who’s old and slow, and that’s the bigger problem.

I do appreciate an aggressive defensive scheme, even if it gives up plays. Just seems the opposition is forced to earn it more, versus giving up free yards.

McDermott chuckles at this while watching his defense get routinely gashed for easy yardage/points
