Can you imagine the meltdown in Philly if Reid and the Chiefs beat the Iggles in the Super Bowl?

I mean the trashy folks in Philadelphia burned the city to the ground when they WON a Super Bowl. They're going to behave like crap no matter what.

I’d love to play them in the Super Bowl.

Not sure that is a good idea. Chase is a stud, but if he isn’t good to go and they bring him back early just to try and beat KC they risk not having him in the playoffs. The LAC brought back Williams early against KC and he was a non factor and reinjured his ankle. Now he will probably be out even longer.

Yep. I think they're being rash if they bring him back next week. They're playing the Titans. He's going to get the shit beat out of him every time he runs a route.

They arent necessarily in the play offs though. They have the hardest schedule remaining in the league.

League Circles say that the Tits still NEED A REAL QB. And they were stupid to trade away their JAG QB's only legit receiving weapon. In fact, League circles foresee another Tits early exit from the playoffs.

TomBarndtsTwin 11-28-2022 03:22 PM

League Circles are further saying that the Titans can't beat top tier NFL teams and pile up wins beating up on bottom dwellers . . . . . . . .

Probably why they will choke again in the playoffs this year after likely winning their division and getting a home playoff game.

I'm worried about the Bengals and Seahawks. That's it.

And honestly I think the Bengals game will go a lot like the Bucs game did. If there's any game that Pat, Travis, and the rest of the vets want to win it's that one...

Not with their LT missing for 3-4 weeks. As soon as he went out yesterday, Tua took 4 sacks then they pulled him. That’s gonna be a problem for them. And I’m sure the Bills will do their best to exploit it.

I think you’re overestimating them.

They have scored 30 less points than the Bills and have given up 50 more than the Bills have. Their last 5 wins have come against teams with a combined 15-39 record.

They’re the 2020 Steelers and I think there is a good chance they lose 2 of their next 3 (San Fran, Chargers, Bills).

He's not overestimating them. They are perhaps the most complete team in the league. Even if they lose 3, they're still very dangerous and will be a tough draw in the playoffs. I picked them to win that division before the season, and I'm sticking with that prediction. They are very good with Tua at QB.

Yeah, should at least provide a bit more of an apples-to-apples comparison than stringing together wins against the Browns, Texans, Bears, Lions, and Steelers, and all the fake hype those games tend to bring..... looking forward to decent competition for the first time in two months to get a better understanding if they're true September champions or maybe something more (of course won't know for sure until the games really matter).

I think Miami will lose quite a few games down the stretch of the season. No more creampuff games like the Texans or Bears. That said, Miami has a good enough offense that I think they will be a tough team to beat in the playoffs. AFC Playoffs should be a hell of a battle.

HFA and the bye are more important for the Chiefs than some believe.

If you’re the Chiefs, you want to avoid playing one of these teams and make a warm weather team (like Miami) come to KC in January.

I gotta be honest. I don’t think it really matters this year. This team is playing on GOD mode. They can play whenever and beat that team. They’re about to show us on Sunday when Patrick exorcises another Chiefs stat. Haven’t won in Cincy in over 3 decades. Patrick is the dragon slayer!

Guess we'll see.

Everyone thought they were dangerous a couple years ago and then they got blown the hell out in the last week of the season. Then they won a bunch of games in Nov/Dec last year and was dangerous up until they got completely shutdown by the Titans.

And they haven't even had the chance to be terrible in the playoffs yet, like how the 2020 Browns were going to light up the Chiefs, or the 2020 Bills, or 2019 Titans, etc.

Teams usually aren't last year's Bengals and just show up and make it to the Super Bowl... even Mahomes had some bad starts against the Patriots in '18 and the Texas the following year.

I'll always be a little more confident in team that have been there and done that, like the Bills' return to Arrowhead and their inevitable return to the playoffs this year.

I don’t necessarily disagree. I’d still pick the Chiefs, even as the 2 seed.

One extra game can really change things though. I’d hate to risk an injury to a key player if we could avoid playing in the first round all together.

An extra game risking injury versus having a bye to rest up and get healthy.

Reid-Mahomes off a bye vs a team who just played for their season. Give me Reid in that one all day.

Then it’s an AFCCG at home against a team who just played twice for their season.

That would be a cool rule modification for the playoffs.

1 seed gets to pick either a bye week, or home field advantage.
2 seed gets whichever the one seed doesn’t pick.

1 seed gets to pick either a bye week, or home field advantage.
2 seed gets whichever the one seed doesn’t pick.

I’d rather they just bring back the 6 team playoff format with the top two seed getting a bye. It was perfect.

Yeah that’s he problem for us Chiefs fans.

We usually have the AFC West wrapped up & we are debating who we should rest & whether they should rest anyone. The number one seed is always in play too. One of the few real games left are this week’s game vs the Bungles before the playoffs start.

We won’t know a lot about any of these teams until January. We will find out a lot about the Dolphins on Sunday with their game vs the 49ers.

They have scored 30 less points than the Bills and have given up 50 more than the Bills have. Their last 5 wins have come against teams with a combined 15-39 record.

They’re the 2020 Steelers and I think there is a good chance they lose 2 of their next 3 (San Fran, Chargers, Bills).

Even if they lose two of those three, what does that prove? That Tua’s not going to finish the year undefeated? How awful.

If the Bills lost two of three games of that caliber, would you declare them to be the 2020 Steelers? Of course not.

A 30 point difference over 11 games is a few points per game. Big deal. And if Tua had played every game, that gap wouldn’t exist.

I wasn’t a Tua believer (and I still don’t think he’s that great) but with those weapons, that’s definitely a potent offfense.

The only thing you can criticize is that they played a few close games vs mediocre/bad teams. But it gets harder to crush a team for squeaking by the Lions when the Bills needed late heroics to do the same.

I picked them to win that division before the season, and I'm sticking with that prediction. They are very good with Tua at QB.

You're way too high on the Dolphins. They're far from a complete team. You're letting the Tyreek stuff cloud your judgement.

The Dolphins are a complete team? They're defense is kinda meh right?

Beat the Bengals and the #1 seed is pretty much guaranteed I'd think.

With the remaining schedule, if they're focused, I don't think they'd lose another game.

So if you win this one, there's a good chance of winning out.

Naw. They have solid weapons everywhere on offense. They have a good defense that just signed Chubb. Their defense has played worse than expected, but has been playing better lately. They have good personnel on that side of the ball and they'll get it together.

Where do you think they're lacking? Depth maybe? Because they're solid across the board.

Playing better lately. Look at their defensive personnel. They have the tools. Their defense only needs to be mid tier to get them where they want to go.

I wouldn’t expect the Raiders to be a pushover. I think there’s even a chance that game is important to them. They have several winnable games coming up and some weak teams in front of them in the standings. I could see it coming down to LV and LAC for the last playoff spot again.

Pitt
Detroit
Chicago
Cleveland
Houston


I'm not saying the defense is bad, but "better lately" isn't shocking.
