By no stretch would he be the first great regular season QB to routinely come up short in the postseason.
I see very little pressure on the Chiefs right now.

Yep, I was thinking that about this game, but having another AFCCG in their pocket is nice... and at worse they'd be 3-3 in AFCCGs, and just making it back there after a SB run is fantastic.
As good as I felt about today's game, there still would have been a little annoyance at losing to the Bills and just a little sadness not making it back to the AFCCG again.
Next week... Ravens win, who cares. They aren't our rivals like the Bills and outside of having to watch Lamar Jackson in the SB, I won't lose any sleep over it.
I spent all this week trying to keep my hopes from being sky high... don't think that will happen this week. Feels good to be here, confident they can win. If not... reload for next year.
