We are hands down a better team, and you all know it.

[synthesis2]

Look when they say a team wins XYZ% of the time it takes all the players etc into effect

Every time the Chiefs Play the Bungels over the last 3 meetings I get it, we didn't come out on top but it does not mean they are the better team, it just means they won that game.

Example, based on the Chiefs having a much better QB ( I get Burrow is ok but he has always had great WR, their number #3 is our number #1) and our Oline better, better defense, better TE, we are a far superior team.

Look I think we win 65% of the time on all of those last three meetings, but that means the other team wins 35% of the time, they rolled the dice and rolled a 1-35, it is what it is, their are upsets that happen all the time in football and underdogs winning when they had no business doing so.

The Ravens beat the Donkeys who are absolutely awful by 1 point 10 to 9. I mean this is like a loss losing to the Broncos by so little. These kind of things happen, I think the Bengals just miss the playoffs or barely sneak in and get bounced in the first round. But they are a quality team, we just got the 1-35 roll, it happens, its football, we are much better, we are going to be hosting the AFC championship game again, etc etc.

I wished we rolled the 36-100 on the dice but it didn't happen, its all good, in the remaining games we should be 90% or higher percentage winners, our odds of going all the way are really high. Proud of the guys today, Kelce does not fumble its over today, stuff just happens.

These teams are dead even. Don’t kid yourself.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

0-3.

1v1, we are not the better team.

How can you claim they’re dead even? They’re a better team. They’ve beaten us three in a row.

Goodness sakes. Have you watched the games and understand how tight they’ve been?

Oh, and there are the other 16 games they play each year that’s not against each other.

And they were incredibly lucky to have that INT nullified, along with 3-4 more back-breaking calls.

Sure, they won in the trenches. That's happened a MILLION TIMES in the Mahomes era. When Mahomes went 14-1 in 2020, it was seemingly happening on a weekly basis, yet they were clearly the class of the AFC.

When was the last time KC beat the Chargers convincingly? Is there any doubt which team is superior?

Getting whipped in the trenches is not something to brag about. The coaches/front office have failed to put together a solid enough roster. Weird thing is I remember Andy Reid had a pretty good defense in Philadelphia.

Yeah, it's definitely a lot closer than people are making it out to be, but that's just a product of how we make our warts out to be the worst things ever while largely ignoring the other team's issues.

The Bengals' defense was shit in the first half of the first two games and their offense hasn't executed great in the past two games despite how badly the Chiefs defense was yesterday.

It's not like we're watching the Chiefs from early last season, where they just can't do anything right and other teams seemingly can do no wrong. The offense has looked unstoppable at times, both defenses have looked helpless at times, both can look back on bad execution and some huge plays, etc, etc.

Yeah, that's a good comparison for the whole "imagine another team saying they're clearly better".

The margin for error against the other elite QB's (Burrow, Allen) is very slim.

We made more mistakes than the Bengals in 3 straight games, so we lost.

We made more mistakes in the regular season Bills games, so we lost.

It's really that simple.

Very slim margin for error.

KC has the worst defense of these 3 teams. Extremely slim margin for error on the KC side of it. Mahomes played a perfect game against Buffalo’s highly ranked defense in the playoffs and still needed a miracle to win. That’s because KC’s defense was leaving Gabe Davis wide open.

Of course it’s close. Most games in the nfl are. Until we can win a game, they’re the better team. It’s close but they’re better.

[O.city]

Elite team vs elite team is a coin flip.

Coin flips are 50/50

Shit happens.

Did I say it was something to brag about?

The point is that it's happened a lot in the Mahomes era and yet no team has had more success.

So, I'll ask again....are the Browns a better team than Cincinnati? They've won 4 in a row and absolutely dominated them in every way a month ago.
