This looks like a Super Bowl winning team
 

Doesn't it?

Holy shit!

Agreed.

Like a well oiled ****ing machine and the rest of the league is a fleshlight.

Would like to see more north/south running, but an impressive result tonight.

Nice to watch a playoff game that's comfortable in the 4th quarter.

Rashee Rice seems like a nice young man.

Most complete game all season

SO DOES CLYDE

I can't believe I'm saying this. Go Clyde!!!!!

"Defense wins championships" was the mantra for years. Could definitely still be true.

I'm not at all saying I WANT this match up, but I'd love to see what the defense would do against Stroud and the Texans.

would obviously like to see us finish in the red zone but even if we can score 20 points a game w this defense we’re probably gonna win

we will see it in the afccg

Need more touchdowns on offense. But avoiding turnovers by Patrick and others in the Offense will give them a fighting chance in every game. Find a way to play as clean as possible.

Hill can keep his ****ing mouth shut from here on out.

This is a number 1 defense. The Browns had an easy ride throughout the season and are good but not KC.

If they score 26 the rest of the way with this defense they're most likely winning the SB

also the kc defense has mahomes to play through. makes a big difference in the defense’s mentality compared to having an old should be retired man back there

As I said ALL season, simply make the tournament and I LOVE our chances against anyone.

Also scheming plays just for Pacheco, Rice, Kelce, Gray and Watson makes us perform so much better on offense.

If they can convert better in the Red zone they for sure can beat anyone playing like this.

yup, these are our best weapons and seeing them treated as such is a nice breath of fresh air

He's a human tree stump, its nearly impossible to get any leverage on him in a phonebooth... I've ragged on him as much as anyone, but its been nice to see him rise and shine lately

Our red zone offense might be officially a problem.

It was a problem in 2021, was great in 2022, and a problem again in 2023.

If the defense keeps holding opponents to 7 points, the red zone offense might not matter.

Even with the two SB wins, the D stepped up when needed.

But this D???? HOLY COW... Almost shut down D.

26 is more than any team has put on this defense even with 4+turnovers

Just get 21 or so points and we win kick 7 FGs if you have to

Well Miami's defense was decimated so we did what we should have done. They had to send pressure and andy had some nice playcalling to get guys open especially rice. Lots of quick hit stuff...hate to say it but it looked very patriot tom Brady and Payton manning quick outs.

Not afraid of Buffalo. Just have to not lose the turnover battle.

True. Defense played great tonight

All it took to blow out a team was not turning the ball over a half dozen times. That was still with some dumb mistakes in the red zone.

Yes, nobody is stopping them now. Once they get that sweet taste of a playoff victory back in their mouths it's over!

Been a bunch of dumb ****s all year on CP about this team

Was that the best postseason game from a Chiefs defense in the Mahomes era?

I can’t think of another that was this dominant.

Now we just need Kelce to stop dropping big/ critical passes ..

Probably. Ironically, his first playoff game, that crappy 2018 defense shut down Andrew Luck and the Colts. But this Dolphins offense has more weapons.

And Red Zone penalties taking touchdowns off the board. Quite a few of them this season, including tonight.

Weren't all of his drops on 1st down tonight? They were obviously not great but I dont remember any of them being a drive killing drop.

Let’s see what happens next week. Chiefs D should travel well anywhere, but I’m still worried about the offense ****ing up.

Didn’t the Colt put up a bunch of garbage yards at the end?

Dolphins didn’t even manage that tonight. Their offense was essentially one flukey play.

The one in Red Zone was 2nd down, mixed with a bad snap from Humphrey on the next play. Drive killed on those 2 mistakes back to back.

Hey look-

This is a legit great defense. Mahomes is the best QB in football. Rice is becoming a star before our eyes.

they've got as good of a shot as anyone.

We are witnessing Playoff Chiefs Football. This team is different in the post season. They are seasoned and they know what it takes to win in the post season.

I'm feeling...relatively confident.

The defense plays like that and we can beat anyone.

It does but we have to temper expectations a bit.

This Dolphins defense had absolutely no pass rush. That won’t be the case in Buffalo, or even if the Texans come to town.

This statement made some really soft pussy ass bitch upset. Wahwahwahwah. Guess no trophy for her

its certainly looks like they flipped a switch tn. still some shitty drops and some bad penalties (or mostly just one bad player taking penalties). but overall the most focused they’ve looked in a full game all year.

if we just don’t turn the ball over we’re an almost impossible out

1 for ****ing 12 on third down LMAO

:rockon:

This may be a tad optimistic, but it was great to see Pat back in postseason form.

Mahomes is the best playoff QB to ever play by a significant margin and this is easily the best defense he's ever had. Yes, they certainly have a chance.

Bills are a massive level jump from the Dolphins team they just played though. I wouldn't get too high on beating up on these guys.

Does that mean you believe in the team again you little baby? On a side note, has your scrawny body ever benched a few plates? Legit question….

The first half their endzone was a icezone. Second half it was second to running out the clock

I still think Buffalo is better than us, but I lift regularly.

I'm absolutely giddy right now.

The defense is the best left in the playoffs.

We can absolutely 2002 Bucs our way into a Lombardi.

Feels like if this offense scores 20 or more we have a 90% chance of winning. Take care of the ball we are gonna be DAMN tough to beat.

Fair enough, bro. I mean no disrespect towards you btw. I think this Chiefs team will go as far as our D takes us. I still don’t trust the offense.

I think the good news is that this team has played better on the road than at home this year.

They should be, but much like the Chiefs shooting themselves in the feet, the Bills often can't get out of their own way.

Miami was really playing shorthanded defensively; but up front. Rashee Rice was playing against Ramsey and Apple.

I think Apple sucks, but Ramsey is still one of the better corners in the business.

so if Rashee Rice is THIS guy, then we can be very dangerous indeed.

24 points probably gets it done against ANYONE this year when KC has this defense.

Rice, Kelce, Pacheco, rinse and repeat.

Receivers are still an annoying problem:
Kelce with x3 drops, 1 being a maybe TD.
Hardman with x3 deep balls that it seems he just gave up on. It's like he is allergic to the football.

Something seems off with Diggs and Sneed may very well be the best corner in the league. I think Sneed can lock him up. Gabe Davis likely may be a longshot to play next week. I think our defense can make them play left handed. I think Mahomes in his first career road playoff game in that environment really brings out his best.

If we can just score within the RZ we won’t lose

He just quit once he thought he got held. That sucked.

You'd think every receiver in the league would know by now that you simply cannot rely on the ref$ to call plays correctly.

Hardman looked wide open on 3rd and five. Pat threw it to covered James

Agreed. We need those guys to step to have a shot at another Lombardi. Rice seems up to the task.

We really need to figure out how to take deep shots to anyone other than Hardman and MVS.

Those two are basically worthless.

You have a weird way of showing it. LMAO

Yeah, throwing deep to Hardman (or anyone this season) just hasn't worked well. He gave up on several balls today. He's always had the speed to get past defenders, but after that he seems lost.

Patrick Mahomes is 12-3 (.800) in the playoffs. He is 28 years old.

Dan Marino was 8-10 (.444).

Drew Brees was 9-9 (.500).

Peyton Manning was 14-13 (.518).

Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were 12-10 (.545).

Ben Roethlisberger was 13-10 (.565).

Lenny Dawson was 5-3 (.625).

Steve Young and John Elway were 14-8 (.636).

Troy Aikman was 11-5 (.687).

Joe Montana was 16-7 (.695).

Tom Brady was 35-13 (.729).

It’s all just nonsense, I hope you feel the same. We all love the Chiefs and that’s the bottom line. I’ve talked shit to people on this board, obviously, but really it’s not even worth it. We all want the same thing.

Better red zone conversion / Kelce actually turning up and it is.

The Bills game will be the proving ground.

I just told my wife this. The most focused I've seen them all season.

I’ve worn a new gameday shirt for the last 3 games

Who has it better than us? We expect to be in the SB every year, I’d say that’s a “golden age” for Chiefs football. 10 years ago everything that’s happened over the past 7 years nobody thought was possible.

God, every other fan in the league is gonna be SO pissed when we win it all AGAIN

Everyone penciling in Baltimore is a bit premature.

Playoff Patrick plus this defense might take this team further than I thought possible.

I was at the game, and yes it was cold as ****. Those passes Kelce dropped were high, and one was behind him with some heat. Not many folks are catching those high passes in that weather/-4 temp.

Fixed it.

All depends if we get Nuclear Josh or Dumbass Josh.

We won so who gives a shit but hopefully they tighten up their execution in the Red zone. Both play calling and the actual plays.

*shrug*

Buffalo just scored 14 points against Miami.

With this defense, any drive that ends in a kick is fine.

It's 2023, not 2018.

They certainly played a much better game but some of the same shit reared it's ugly head.

Too many drops, routes run wrong or stopped, terrible in Red Zone, awful penalties that killed drives.

Overall a much better game and the final results showed it.
