Nice.
Two things that definitely did not get the Chiefs into the playoffs: Luck, and the ghost of Lamar Hunt. |

The Chiefs did what they supposed to do. They won the last 2 games of the season.
Cinci, Jax and the Donks choked.

It's hard to argue with Herm on this. It definitely feels like good luck because it all happened in Week 17, but there are events every week, beginning in Week 1 that radically effect the playoff picture. It's just different at the end because you know what those events are.

Luck plays a part in every football game. Remember last year-it seemed every fumble bounced to the other team.

I agree that teams win/lose all year long, and that of course they'll continue to do so even in week 17. The Chiefs took care of business yesterday, and that was good, but they were still dependent on other teams to get in. Both the Bengals and the Broncos lost in somewhat unusual/fluke ways:
Bengals - at home, blown short FG to go to OT. Broncos - at home, choke away a lead to the Niners (shaky team), win the toss in OT and have 2 posessions in OT without scoring. Luck was an element, OK? |

Are you even a Chiefs fan or are you just a troll? It seems that every single one of your posts is just negativity. I guess you probably think the Chargers lucked into the #1 seed too? Afterall, there is no way the Colts should have lost to the Texans, Jags, or any of the 4 straight road games they lost. Man, what a choke job that was. Upsets happen every weekend, the Chiefs did their job. I like Herm's approach to these playoffs. Seems like this would definitely help the confidence of the team going into the playoffs. |

No, the Chargers took care of business and determined their own fate. They won the games they were supposed to win, the Colts did not. No matter how we won yesterday, we weren't going anywhere but home unless some rather flukey things happened. They did. I'm happy about it, but I live in reality...we got very lucky.
Frankly, I think to deny that luck played a factor is dense. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows you're full of shit if you go with that tactic. The players aren't stupid...they know they got lucky. You can admit it and still say "hey, we're in and we plan on taking advantage of it by playing our best ball now". |

lol, ok crystal clear now. Couldn't the same be said since we won the games we were supposed to win the last 2 weeks, and the Bengals and Broncos didn't? |
