Chargers - They'll have to replace Rivers sooner than later...within the next few seasons I'd imagine. When that happens are they going to be like Denver and **** it up while wasting all of that talent on defense?

Broncos - Ever since Manning retired they've been searching for their guy, and Elway has whiffed badly on Oseweiler and Lynch, Siemian wasn't ever going to be their guy longterm, and the Keenum was a hilariously desperate signing. Will they take Drew Lock? Unless that happens, Denver is gonna be the same team we've seen the past couple seasons...maybe 5-6-7 wins at best.

Raiders - ROFL

Point is, Chiefs are set up to run this division for the next 5yrs (at least). Which means multiple home playoff games are coming our way, which is key. That monkey is finally off the Chiefs back I think (I hope). Combine that w/ the changing of the old guard. BigBen and the Steelers are probably done, and the Pats are dreading the day Tom Brady retires (because when that happens, BB will probably retire as well).

Things are looking good for KC.....and its about god damn ****ing time.

John Smoltz was my favorite baseball player growing up. Guy was a badass mofo on the mound.

Dude's a helluva golfer too.

why are you so ****ing weird

Is Drew Lock very good? I am not an MU fan so I don’t watch them play.

I ask bc I think Denver is going to do everything humanly possible to draft him.

Gabbert 2.0. The latest MU quarterback to spend his tenure swimming in Daniel's shoes.

I’m a Mizzou fan. I wouldn’t worry about Lock. I’d be surprised if he becomes a good NFL quarterback. Even if he does, we have Mahomes

Lock could be a good NFL QB, but he needs to sit a year. IMO, they all do.

Being out here in Denver and being a Mizzou fan I don't get to see hardly any MU games but I did get to see a couple and thought Lock could be pretty decent but to your point he needs to sit and become a student first.

Convinced we will crush the Pats.

Not any minor crushing either, but an industrial-strength T-1000 squishing in a Cyberdyne Systems hydraulic press kind of crushing.

Perhaps Clay should use The Nutcracker Suite for the soundtrack on the next video...

He'll need good coaching too. Not sure he'll get that in Denver.

Gotta keep the peddle down and step on the necks of the NFL.

Do it now!

Yeah, we are pretty much playing with house money at this point in the season.

However, I did predict 12-4 with a potential AFCG appearance due to a talented young QB that isn't scared.

I applaud you sir. I won't ever say I expected to see them in the AFCCG but I did expect improvement over last year because I expected Mahomes to be better than Smith.

Going into this year I told myself to let the frustrations go and try to just enjoy the season. I've gone into every game with a just have fun attitude. While sometimes my emotions still come out I've had much more fun this year. Whatever the outcome is Sunday, I'm happy with where this team had taken us.

That said, go kick Brady's ass.

Yeah, I don't see him learning much from Case Keenum.

I'm a huge Mizzou fan who has watched every game Lock has played. Although I would like to root for him in the NFL, as a Chiefs fan I pray the donks draft him. He is going to be a huge bust in the NFL.

I feel like the biggest pressure was the last game. These next two games are more fun than stressful.

For a young QB in his first year starting he (and we) are definitely overachieving.

Pat has already put up the greatest 16 games of any first year starter in NFL history.

His first season is already top 10 all time for ANY QB. Ever.

We might lose but this is the first time in a long time I actually BLIEVE we'll win when it matters...

Yes..it was an initiation into what it feels like to go into the playoffs and actually expect to win.

It's telling how far, we as fans, have fallen when you think the divisional round is some kind of epic accomplishment. Jaguars did it last year with BLAKE BORTLES.....jesus.

It's house money only because we have low expectations...that said...I think KC is going to curbstomp them in 5 degree weather.

I want nothing less than to watch Brady crying midway through the 4th in a 42-14 curb stomping that reminds that bitch he should retire.

The big epiphany that I had was looking back and realizing how lucky we were that our Chiefs didn't suck for Luck the year he came out. Luck is a better than average quarterback that will have a very nice career but ending up with a once in a generation talent like Patrick Mahomes is better than any one of us could have imagined. If we had Luck and had to beat Patrick every year to win a Super Bowl we would still be stuck in our next year thinking. Having a talent like Patrick Mahomes means that your team always has a good chance to finish the season on top!

The Chiefs probably win at least one Super Bowl with Andy Reid and Andrew Luck and the defenses we had in 2013-2016.

Imagine adding a 40 TD QB to a team with the #2 defense, instead of not throwing a TD to a WR the entire year.

Luck isn't just "better than average." In a good year he's a top 5 QB.

I'm a Chiefs and a Braves fan.. :-/

Eh, there's ebb and flow. Not every team is the Patriots. But we can become them!!!

I agree with this 100% Luck is a great quarterback and it's had to say where we would now if we had been able to draft him, but I would not rule out a Superbowl run or two. With that said, I am so glad things worked out the way they have. It looks like a very fun ride for a long time to come.

I've been there in person when most of our collapses have occurred. I was a mess watching the game. When we fumbled, got a blocked punt etc, I thought shit, here we go. I couldn't eat or really enjoy the game even though we were up 3 scores until late in the game. My paranoia amused many.:)

Now, that feeling of doom is completely gone. Like Frazod and others have posted, the game cleansed me. I have no feelings of doom. They are just gone. I can just enjoy the next playoff game. I think we will win but if we don't, I wont be devastated like those other losses. Just regular fan disappointment. It feels good to be in that place. :D

Ask Jim (Logical) about next year.
Ask saccapoo.

I'll be much more upset if we lose this game than if we lose the SB.

I'm all in for this game. Getting nervous to just watch it. LOL

Ask Yordano Ventura

Again, I think you're kind of missing the point.

No, I get it.

We are looking just looking at it from different perspectives.

Yup. We have a lot of contracts in flux. We may never be this healthy this late. Who knows when the next afc championship HOME game will be. Im optimistic about the future. But I'm not even thinking about next year. In our history, we've never been so well built to take it right now.

Ive been thinking about how the narrative the last game was about how we clowned them and if we had hoodie and Brady figured out. This year it's us with the chip on our shoulder because of our earlier season loss.

Reid is out for blood. Mahomes is out for blood. God I hope our defense is too.

I really think that replacing Parker and Scandrick with Lucus and Ward has really changed the dynamic of this defense.

The improved coverage and tackling on the back end allows for more attacking on the front end.

I'll be surprised is they give up 20 points.

This is why I wouldn’t put Berry in that starting role. I think he should play Murray’s role.

They won’t do it, but I don’t want to mess with what’s working for somebody that hasn’t finished a game yet.

I'd be just fine with Berry in a very limited role.

Its so funny. I had some nerves on the Sunday prior to the game. But I was calm from Monday to Saturday just waiting for the game.

I was clam because we now have one of those QB thingies that we pined for. And I knew this year was different. I felt the Chiefs would win a close game against the Colts.

Now, I know we will destroy the Pats. They are now the team that is simply "in the way" of the Chiefs taking what is theirs.

Oh that's true. You're an old fart. :D

Just for lack of game shape alone. No way is he a 100% cardio game shape let alone hitting shape.:shake: Limited sure. Maybe just red zone possessions.:shrug:

I think a rotational player is smart. He takes Murray's reps, maybe more in particular spots.

To further emphasize the OP’s point. Mike Florio said the other day that he thinks Mahomes will win the MVP 7 times in his career.

This is just the beginning.

If Berry can go on a snapcount, then deploy him anytime it's a 3rd and 4 or more to go and have him man on Gronk.
