I get it. I like keeping the Bengals around as a punching bag too. No judgement here.

The Chiefs are playing in their 6th straight AFCCG. They've played in 3 SBs and won 2.

Lamar Jackson has won 2 playoff games in his career. He's won 2 playoffs games, in his career. He doesn't command the same respect that Mahomes does. He's missed the 2nd half of 2 of the last 3 seasons. He's thrown for 200+ yards in the playoffs, one time. After throwing 2 TDs last week he's now 5/5 td/int for his playoff career with a passer rating of 75.7

You've had a great year and as usual, you've gotten there due to Jackson's legs, whether it be literal running or getting outside the pocket and throwing a pass 4+ seconds after the snap.

If the Chiefs keep RB8's TTT below 2.7 seconds tomorrow, you will lose by two scores.

Rfaulk is the best opposing fan we’ve had on here (sorry Gadzooks)!

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but this is actually a terrific take from Lance.

That is what Patrick Mahomes is. You think he’s coming into a hostile environment, feeling the hostility. He’s the one bringing the hostility to the hostile.

I expect this from the hordes of zombies on Chiefs Planet who are, ya know, Chiefs fan. But what is in spouting off this surface-level nonsense for you? Is the inferiority complex of Bengals fans such that you need to look to Chiefs fans for some sort of recognition? I know the Ravens and Steelers couldn't give two shits about the Bengals, but you always have that toilet bowl with your Ohio brethren in Cleveland, no? Surely you can find some sense of self in being better than them!

We’re zombies how? Because we have confidence in the Chiefs ability to do what they have so often? Numbers are great on paper, but mean nothing without hardware to back it up. Ask Philly. They had the hype, and paper stats (like a certain other team playing tomorrow) while KC got the Lombardi.

Because it's wave after wave of the same takes over and over again. And they're the most lifeless, brain rot opinions imaginable. Takes so cursory and outdated that they would be laughed out of the room in polite society. And as soon as you think you've put down the last of them, another ghoul comes crawling out of their rat hole.

How do you do, my fellow Chief fan?

I've just consumed a few dozen national pundits. Most are picking the Ravens, but interestingly not one of them even mentioned Lamar's past playoff performance as a possible factor. They've all convinced themselves that none of that is applicable anymore after taking two years off.

I guarantee it will come creeping back the first time Lamar sails a 3rd and 8 over his receiver.

The number of bets has been pretty equal, however 66% of all money bet was flowing towards the Ravens. Their trying to equal that flow. If conspiracy folks really thinks Vegas is involved, then the Chiefs will win tomorrow.

Unlike the AFC West, the AFC North is a real division with parity, so the titles aren't just awarded to one team every year.

... Just like the Patriots with Brady, we have broke the teams in our division. They chase free agents unwisely and way over pay for the Hot Coach...

and were leading the division in 2021 and 2022 (even had the 1 seed) when Lamar went down. When a qb goes down of Lamar's capabilities, most teams would lose, just like you would most likely lose some games if Mahomes went down with an injury.
