Can't wait to see Humphries and Wentz in action

Chiefs 23 - Broncos 17 :arrow:

In Broussard's defense he would probably agree that no it wasn't "fair" to other teams that they got to play a depleted Ravens team.

It is a weird take tbh, I mean I get what he's saying but like the Bengals had a chance to control their destiny but they lost to a really bad Patriots team and they knew in week 1 that the top of the AFC was going to be tight.

I think sometimes these guys have to throw takes out for the interest of a watchable show even if their argument is bad, they all do it. They can't all just sit there and agree with each other

Bengals would also need the Miami Dolphins to lose against the Jets.

Bengals aren't getting in.
Sorry Cincinnati.

I know. But wouldn't it be delicious?

Wentz is going to shock a lot of people today.

Dude is going over 300 yards. I can’t believe the spread is at 10.5, that is absurd even with the Chiefs playing mostly backups. This is going to be really fun. :)

If our practice squad beats Denver's best team the last decade I'm going to fire loads past Pluto.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

too bad there cannot be a place where 2 teams tie and have to play a play in game on Tuesday.

I'd rather have a situation where the Bengals aren't in and we can almost guarantee a Bills/Ravens game the weekend prior. That will have so much build up for both teams that it could easily soften up the winner for the next weekend in KC.

There's a ton of good scenarios. It's good to be king.

I cannot decide who I would rather want in if it was only between the Donks and Bengals. I hate both so so much.

It would be so great to have Denver continue its irrelevancy

Carson gonna drop his Big WENTZ on dat Broncos D today.

The red rocket is going to blow his load all over the donkey d

I think ultimately the answer is Denver because I don’t think they can beat Buffalo, and I think Baltimore @ Buffalo before the AFC Championship would serve us best of all.

I do like the fact that all of them depend on us for their fate.

Absolutely. And I'd really rather limit the upper echelon QBs in the playoffs if possible, especially a guy like Burrow who has thrown for nearly 5,000 yards this season and has a receiver as dominant as Chase. There's a lot more you can't control versus them than versus the Broncos.

Yeah, just seems like the very obvious path of least resistance. Cincy will sell it as fear, that’s fine, I just want my team to three-peat and whatever makes that most likely, I’ll take. Burrow deserves the respect of us acknowledging we’d prefer play Bo Nix. Obviously.

We went the hardest possible way last year. I’m good with not doing that again, especially the next year.

Just hoping he doesn’t Wentz his pants with that Donkey pass rush

Chiefs be like

For sure, the logical side of me wants the path of least resistance. But you have to admit that beating the Bengals at Arrowhead and not having to play the Bills would be pretty ****ing sweet.

Playing devils advocate for a sec..Mahomes has lost 3 playoff games. 2 of them were because the defense got him. SB55 was mostly due to immense pressure.

Broncos and Chargers have excellent DL’s. Denver specifically has the best DL in the league in terms of sacks, pressures, hits and QB knockdowns. Also have the best corner in football.

We saw what the Chargers and Broncos DL’s did to our OL. We didn’t play a great DL until the SB last year.

Broussard’s take there is weak. But he tends to like the Chiefs and already considers Pat the GOAT so I’ll give him a pass

butterfly effect... we have Mahomes. Loved DT... Just wish he would have buckled up for a very survivable accident.

I want to beat whoever gets the MVP.

I would sure like to strut around Denver knowing Carson ****ing Wentz knocked these douches out of the playoffs.

Broncos starters are about to lose to one of The Lumineers

Let’s just stay healthy and have zero injuries.
Let the playoffs settle in wherever.

Definitely

Will we see a QB sneak on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 by Wentz?

Hendrickson and the fact that he goes against the LT alone would make that a wash for me.

Yeah, but the playoffs aren't supposed to be easy, right? Houston/Pittsburgh would have been nice opponents but typically you're facing good teams once you get to the Divisional round and beyond.

Also, you never know. Lamar may choke against the Steelers. Unlikely, the way those two teams are both playing, but they're divisional opponents who usually play close games.

All teams that have nothing to gain, sit starters ever since it went to a single bye. I’d bet he didn’t say anything until the Chiefs started their run.

I'm so conflicted on this.

Bengals looked like crap against a declining Steelers team but they are on a heater and Burrow's and Chase's numbers are crazy.

Denver is weaker as a team and will be crushed by Bills or Ravens.

I hate the Donkeys and NEVER want to root for them.

Bengals play Bills tough and could they beat them?

Do I want to have Bills come to Arrowhead and send them home?

This will be a game time decision......

FWIW Jay Glazer said Hopkins is playing today and for the incentive like Chris Jones did last year.

FYP

It's always fun the gameplan all the scenarios but I wouldn't think about it too much. Just play whoever makes it to the divisional and kick their ass. Bengals looked super beatable and have shown that they're beatable all year (9-8 record) but they obviously can throw up a lot of points when they're on their game. We know we're better than both the Chargers and Broncos, but divisional games are always a scrap. Buffalo and Baltimore are waving the "We can beat the Chiefs" flag in the media but what's new this year than the previous six seasons?

I agree that any Chiefs fan would be conflicted over this but I look at it as a no-lose situation. Sending the Broncos or the Bengals home will be a blast and if we end up seeing the Bengals it will only be because they defeated the Bills so kind of a 2-for-1 there.

OT: What was the verdict on Zay Flowers' injury. Internet doesn't seem to have much info.

Countdown said it wasn't too serious and that he's expected back soon

Probably gave him a brand new knee.

Still nothing new other than sprained knee.

Apparently Worthy is playing today too LMAO

I ****ing hate these games.

FYP

Will the Chiefs be able to fly back to KC after the game?

Yup
Don't care who Chiefs have to play.
I think Chiefs are better at this moment than they have been all year.
Line em...knock em down

Broussard is the ultimate fence sitter. As much as I respect him for being a level-headed guy, he never picks a side and tends to give criticism when it's not due.

He likes Pat, but he always loves the Ravens and tends to pick against Pat. He'll say he's the GOAT, but he also lets recency bias take over and will say "Man idk, Patrick just hasn't looked good recently" even though stuff like that never applies to the so-called GOATs of sports.

They will have 2 weeks to get back.

They should hang out in Denver for a week, randomly making people cry in LoDo when they see them

4:25 p.m.: Chiefs vs. Broncos

Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins has three incentives he can reach:
6+ receptions ($250,000)
140+ receiving yards ($250,000)
1+ receiving TD ($250,000)
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton needs 82-plus receiving yards for a $500,000 incentive

1) I hope Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins reaches all three incentives.

2) I hope Broncos WR Cortland Sutton dies.

I hate the injury risk. Andy should do QB kneel-downs on every single play, which avoids injury for everyone. Spags can put the defense in the softest coverage ever, which also helps limit contact & injuries.

And the loveable lug immediately went on a 9-0 tear, bless his heart

I’m sure kneel downs will go over well to guys trying to play for jobs next year that won’t be kept with us or guys like Hopkins who is wanting more money.

You can’t help injury. Worthy could get hurt in any of the possible 3 games after this week too. He’ll be taken out after the first half at latest.

Even before, teams rested starters if they didn't need a win in the final week. It's been a thing for as long as I can remember.

Not remotely the first time this scenario has happened either where a team gets to play a win and your in game against a team resting guys.

If Cincy doesn't like maybe don't start your season like hammered ass every year.

Well…..bye

Oh shit Uche is gonna be active LMAO

Hope the door hits him in the ass knocking him down a flight of stairs

Caleb Williams is an idiot LMAO

I definitely think people underestimate how good the Chiefs roster is. We see this all the time with media coverage of the team.

I put on my lucky Holmes jersey and now I’m reconsidering whether I want to waste it on backups.

Bout freakin time

Don't abandon whats been working

Hope they're not showing too much before the playoffs

Good bye one who sucks the penis..

You can’t make everyone inactive…..

What the **** kind of stupid tweet is that?

Get the **** out of Kansas City, loser.

Yea. Feels like the beat reporter equivalent of “I’m leaving CP forever “ thread.

Amazing he had a job for that long his classic response to anything "I don't know"

Some tough lines on the betting circuit to try and figure out. I'm just gonna keep an eye on Wentz and enjoy the show as we cruise into #1 seed.

Many people enjoy Colorado. Film at 11.

And then the Alexsexuals….

Are we playing any wr starters?

Yes. But I doubt they get as many snaps as they typically get.

Love it. Get a long look at Kingsley and Wanya.

This Car/Atl game going to OT of course
