Eli Apple jawing at Bills on Twitter with seemingly no repercussions from his franchise (since it’s allowed to continue) tells us what we need to know.

The coach and QB talking smack about advance ticket sales for Buffalo & Chiefs in Atlanta is pretty hypocritical when the Cincy stadium was also selling advance tickets for a game that won’t happen with the Jaguars.

Not even debatable.

The tackling is sharper, the coverage is tighter (when they go man), and the DL pressure is better, with less blitzing.

The zone still gets carved up some but there's no solution for that other than more games under the rookies' belts.

Right.

Like they don't ****ing know that EVERY potential host pre-sells tickets in the playoffs.

They're either hypocrites or just incredibly stupid.

They’re just doing whatever they can to keep a strong chip on their shoulder. It worked pretty well for them against Buffalo. I am not sure talking smack to Mahomes is the best way to beat him.

I've been thinking about this, some.

We all know that Josh Allen is a great dude. Is he a "fire in the belly" Kobe Bryant dude? "Make me angry, and watch what ****ing happens." Maxx Crosby had a video on YouTube recently where he talked about going facemask to facemask with Mahomes (when Pat was seen yelling "I'M HERE" at the Raiders game, he was shit talking Crosby).

Because we know exactly the kind of dude Mahomes is, and I think we can all agree Burrow is that guy as well. I just don't know if Allen has ever been that dude.

Right. They're manufacturing it, though.

There's nothing to have a chip on their shoulder about. The overwhelming favorite for most of the country going into Sunday's game, they just blew out the Bills, they're on like a 10-game winning streak, they've beat the Chiefs 3 times in a row and on and on and on.

It's completely fake and contrived. Anybody with half a brain can see right through it.

Allen likes to get in people's faces and then back off and let his teammates do the real work. ROFL

I agree that it's silly, but all they have to do is believe it.

I think both of these teams have a full head of steam heading into this game. Despite the Bengals running the table so far, the teams are basically dead even.

Going to be a great game so long as Mahomes is as healthy as the people at Arrowhead say he is.
