If the Bears get the first they can milk the clock, possible score the TD, and give the ball back with a handful of seconds and a lot of field to cover.

The play call was poo poo but I get the why

Ok, but then give it to Fields instead of running it up the middle from shotgun

Pacheco fan club. Priest Holmes made me a chiefs fan so many years ago and we had a good stretch of RBs after, but has been pretty lame since Hunt. Big Runs are my favorite thing in football and this dude slaps.

yeah, same actually!

Sucks that it doesn't matter because Bills are going to win the AFC and probably the Super Bowl this year. Watching the Chiefs last night, they don't look good at all. We're done in the playoffs as soon as we hit the Bills. They're on fire.

(it's overreaction monday and a lot can change this season but I'm buckling in for a disappointing season/playoffs like I'm used to from pre-Mahomes)

e: can we also talk about something else? I've already got some major Taylor Swift fatigue. Kinda getting tired of seeing her

ughhh it's so annoying when the refs don't follow the script and throw a flag for pass interference when clearly on pg. 83 there's no call there. Glad the other refs are on the ball, though, and can remind each other what's supposed to happen this week.

I think Russ can clearly produce, but I also think it's clear he REALLY needs the right locker room and coaching environment. Like maybe he's higher maintenance than a lot of guys? But considering how valuable even decent-ish QB's are (and I think Russ has higher potential upside than most other QB's), if I were an owner (lol) I would take the extra effort to put the right coaching pieces into place to help him.

All this to say, Payton is clearly not the coach to do that, and I think that's by choice. I don't get the impression Payton has ever wanted to be that coach for him.

Unrelated, I think if the Chiefs implode over the next 5 years, and Andy Reid retires, I can easily see Mahomes becoming the next Russell Wilson, i.e. moving/trading over to a mid-tier team and having meme tiktokers post videos about whether he can score as many TDs as he has pairs of sneakers (he can't). I was all-in on Mahomes Magic, but it's obvious he needs all of the right pieces on the board or he starts yelling at people. Not great.

I don't think we win against a playoff defense that isn't calling up 10th string linebackers out of retirement. I have hopes, and I've seen some epic Bills meltdowns, but I'm setting expectations low so I'm not disappointed.

Look, clearly you're going to be happy about your team winning a playoff game, thinking that I'm railing against that is ridiculous. I'm specifically pushing back on the underdog narrative poo poo. I don't give a gently caress how bad Pat's receivers have been or that the poor things actually had to finally play a playoff game on the road, the fact is that Mahomes is far and away the best QB of the current era so as long as he's playing the odds are really good that you'll win the game.

You're not a scrappy 7th seed making noise or a long suffering franchise finally breaking through. You have Mahomes, Kelce and one of the best defenses in the league this year so I promise that you didn't shock the world by winning this game. Everyone wanting you to lose doesn't make you the underdog and don't throw out degenerate Vegas betting lines as if it means anything other than "the desert wants to make money". I'm also pretty agitated that I have to root for the goddamn Ravens now.

By all means, go hog wild and enjoy your team's insane success, pound beer like Jason Kelce (the real hero of the game) and eat piles of awesome BBQ or whatever makes you happy.

Also, gently caress the Chiefs.

Yeah, agreed. When Mahomes is predicted to be underdog he's like 9-1 or something. If I weren't chiefs fan, I'd hate us.

It would be more fun if the Chiefs were good villains but they're nowhere near Bill/Brady. They're like a dollar store version in bizzaro world with a goofy frog instead of Brady and a generally likeable out of season mall santa in place of Bill.

Brady's psychopathic level of football will and Bill's seething contempt of absolutely everything will forever be unmatched.

Again: the Raiders cracking the code consists of not completing a pass for 3 qtrs and getting 2 defensive TDs in 5 seconds on christmas day. If they can just replicate these conditions in every future outing, the Chiefs are done I guess.

Yeah, the Broncos QB drama is one of my favorite things about the AFC West (other than Chief dominance, of course). Even as chiefs fan, I really liked Drew Lock and thought he was kinda done dirty. I'd love to see Bo Nix do well, and maybe Sean Payton will actually build a decent offense around him. Good luck!
