Yes sir.

Fortunately, we are a better road team than home team for some strange reason. On the road in the past 6 games we have only surrendered 8.8 ppg in the first half and 6.4 ppg in the second half. If you remove the 13 garbage-time points we gave up at Denver against our back-ups the Chiefs have surrendered only 19 second half points on the road since mid-October.

Depends on if you're scared of Pittsburgh.

Tyrod Taylor is 2-5 for -1 yards. The Jets-Bills game is shaping up to be a fun defensive battle.

If the Chiefs end up the #5 seed, they would host the AFC Championship game if the #6 seed was their opponent.

Steelers TD 7-0

Is there gonna be any football played in the Bills Jets game? They seem very content at not doing anything football related.

If the Jets lose then we're locked in at the 5th unless we win today and Denver loses today - then we'd be 3 and host either the Jets or Steelers.

If the Jets win today and we lose then we'd be the 6th seed and go to Cincinnati (if Cincy wins and Denver loses) or Denver (if Denver wins or Cincy loses).

It's the last week of football for many teams but I just can't get into these games.

I'm about to do some other shit until the Chiefs play.

Definitely a snoozer so far.

No tackling whatsoever! Wow, my grandfather can be better than that!

Thanks for the memories!

Could happen but never has.

I could see the Steelers (if it's them) beating Cincy/Denver and, if we win, we go to Cincy/Denver the next week and winning. Steelers go to the Pats and take care of business and we host the Steelers.

I could see that.
