Our likely divisional-round opponents

[Rain Man]

I'm running the numbers based on the point spreads, and here are our odds of playing each divisional-round possibility.

Bills - 58.3 percent (Chiefs win, Bills win)
Bengals - 20.9 percent (Chiefs win, patriots win, Bengals win)
(No one) - 11.3 percent (We draw those amateur refs from the Bengals game)
Raiders - 9.4 percent (Chiefs win, patriots win, Raiders win)

Just figured I'd share this.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I'm really hoping the Raiders and Pats win

And the Chiefs too

[Hammock Parties]

this is wrong

we get the bills if they win no matter what

if the patriots win, we get the winner of LV/CIN

its going to be 0 degrees in Buffalo Saturday night so I think the Patriots have a better than average chance of winning that game...I am not gonna be shocked if the Patriots go to Tennessee, beat a terrible Titans offense, and show up in Arrowhead to get WHOMPED

[RaidersOftheCellar]

I don't see why so many people are scared of meeting these teams in Arrowhead. The Chiefs have been a dominant force at home lately.

I'd like to see the Titans lose so that KC can host the AFCC, but aside from that, bring 'em on.

Oh, dang, you're right. I forgot that there was a worthless #1 seed that gets the lowest seed. Let me rerun it.

[Chieftain]

If the Bills lose to the Patriots, their fanbase should just head to the edge of the top of Niagara Falls and collectively jump.

I really want to face the Patriots in Arrowhead . Other than that it would be fun to beat the Raiders 40-3 again.

[Rain Man]

Okay, it's fixed now and we're back in business. Big changes occur when you take into account that we're not the #1 seed.

[bevischief]

Nope it's the Ermines. Go Ermines!


LMAO

[Hammock Parties]

Boy, this really makes you root for the Patriots now.

This is our easiest path to a SB. We duck Josh Allen, and only have to knock off one elite QB to get back to the Super Bowl.

Of course, it'd be just as satisfying to put the Bills back in their place.

[eDave]

I'll gladly take the Bills. I fear nothing of Allen. Especially in a big game.

[TinyEvel]

Makes me realize how hosed we got with the new 17 game/playoff rules.

Instead of having a bye week we have to play the scrubby Steelers who have barely a chance to win. :cuss:

[493rd]

It’s be nice to handle the Steelers first.

Nope. I want the Bills and then Bengals. I want revenge on those fuckers

[Bearcat]

Nope. I want the Bills and then Bengals. I want revenge on those fuckers

Yeah, on one hand I'd be perfectly fine with the easier road... it's what happened in 2019 when everyone assumed they would be in the AFCCG in Baltimore and then would be playing Rodgers in the SB. And then they had the tougher task of overcoming Brady's refs last year. Given the rest and prep advantages of the bye, injuries, and all the other shit, an easier path is kind of welcomed.

OTOH, we don't wait 11 months to play Large Ben and then the Raiders... we wait 11 months for epic playoff games, and the Bills and Bengals are the best hope for that on this side of the SB. And we know the Chiefs are capable of beating anyone come playoff time.

[Hammock Parties]

Nope. I want the Bills and then Bengals. I want revenge on those fuckers

Chiefs will get plenty of respect if they beat the Packers or someone really good in the SB.

I'll take the easiest path to get there. Less chance of injuries too.

[Dante84]

It would be amazing if the Patriots & Raiders beat the Bills & Bengals.

That would have us playing the Raiders, and the Titans, as a 1 seed, with the tougher draw of the Patriots.

GOLD JERRY, GOLD!

Couldn’t ask for a better path than Steelers, Raiders, Patriots.

No one remembers the path. They only remember the Super Bowl.

Besides, who really cares who we play? I just want to win.

[The Franchise]

If we have to play the Pats in the AFCCG…..I’m going to worry about the refs. Especially if the Bucs make it to the NFCGG.

[FringeNC]

The one team I'd like to avoid is the Bills. If you dig down into the statistics, looking at yards per play differential, the Bills are impressive. Just a really good all-around team. I know the whipped us, but I am not convinced that Tennessee is that good.

[O.city]

No one ever remembers who you beat to win a Sb.

Give me the Steelers, then the Raiders, then the Pats then the Eagles.

[Stryker]

[irafreak]

Exactly. Chiefs fans remember that season with Alex Smith where we beat the two eventual super bowl teams in the regular season. No one else does. It's all about matchups anyway. Give me the best matchups for a win.

[Hammock Parties]

No one ever remembers who you beat to win a Sb.

The only people who remember who you beat to get to the SB are the pathetic salty fans of the teams you beat.

If they lose to the Steelers, not only do they not deserve the SB, but they should forfeit the one they already won.

There's only so much to talk about for one game though.... either the Chiefs take care of business or they shit down their leg for 4 quarters. The end.

The team is taking it one game at a time while we wildly speculate.

[KChiefs1]

It would be amazing if the Patriots & Raiders beat the Bills & Bengals.

The Bills already won their Super Bowl this year when they came to Arrowhead. Not sure they have much left to play for. We'll stomp them the second time around in KC if they make it that far.

Raiders or Bengals. I don't fear the Bills at all. I just want Mahomes to beat every AFC team in the playoffs. We already done the Bills.

This is correct.

Outside of Kansas City, nobody will remember our OL injuries in the Super Bowl last year. Or the refs.

It’s all just “Brady did it again”.

There's a better than average chance the Bills can't beat the Pats.

This. Too many people are talking about the Pittsburgh game like we've already won it. I mean, I'm not a big believer in karma (if there was such a thing, shitbag Brady wouldn't have won seven Super Bowls), but we're still kind of dangling our private parts at the football gods.

I hope our players aren't as arrogantly dismissing them as a lot of people on this board are, because losing to the $tealer$ on Sunday would be like the egg the Colts laid last weekend, on steroids.

One game at a time, kids.

[Rain Man]

Just to clarify, this thread is not looking past the Steelers game. It's looking at the impact of the Steelers game and other games. So we're well within the rules of karma.

[RealSNR]

Blah blah one game at a time...

We're fans. If we look ahead multiple weeks, nothing happens. The worst thing that happens is you get so excited thinking about the next round that you forget to bring charcoal to the tailgate and have to embarrassingly borrow from somebody else.

Let the pros do their job, we'll do ours.

[TinyEvel]

So, if Bills win, we play them. If Patriots win, we play the Bengals.
(Assuming we win sunday) who’d you rather see Chiefs face?

Great, the Bills are basically getting a bye week here with the Patriots. Did NOT expect that. Didnt expect the Pats to win but at least make the Bills earn it. Maybe beat them up a little.

Bills are going to pull their starters any minute now. A nice tune up and lots of rest now.

[DTVietnam]

this is worst case scenario..

lets hope we can blow out Steelers and rest our guys Q4

Honestly, I don't care who we play as long as we play our best. If the Chiefs play at the level they are capable of, they can beat anyone anywhere.

[MahomesMagic]

The Patriots run a complex defense that requires coordination or switching responsibilities of their defenders.

When done right it can frustrate many of the leagues top offenses, QBs. The problem was one of the easiest ways to counter it is Air Raid overs concept where WRs just cross the field towards each other and the QB just reads the region.

Guess what Daboll created as a major staple for the Buffalo offense?

Buffalo's offense just got to play scissors to another teams thin paper.

KC defense doesn't run 1 high safety trail coverage.

BBs disciple Flores had the same problem. He would run that scheme against Buffalo and Miami would get obliterated.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Buffalo looking like they did at the beginning of the season…

[MahomesMagic]

That was one of the worst called games I have ever seen.

That's on Belichick. That's on McDaniels.

Absolutely awful. Watching Patriots do pitch outs to mediocre rbs or have Mac throw outs or bombs...

[Curé]

(just don't **** it up tomorrow so we can get to the real playoff teams)

Absolutely this. We (again, assuming we avoid what would be a total pants shitting today) get an opportunity for revenge back at Arrowhead. If we go 0-2 to the Bills at home in the same season, we were not winning shit anyway. Win today and we have a clear path to a hell of a revenge tour in the AFC and either a shot to complete it against Brady or arguably the greatest QB matchup of the past few decades vs Rodgers.
