Let’s go Buffalo!!

Bills, baby, Bills!

Not to play captain obvious, but I think if the Chiefs win tonight, the lines will be the difference.

Week 5 game, the Chiefs didn't have Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram (still with Pitt). Frank Clark was just coming off his hamstring injury. They only made contact with Allen once in 32 snaps. Pressure on Allen and limiting the run will be the key (I know Duh).

The Chiefs totally revamped the O-line in the off season. I re-watched the game and it was obvious Mahomes did not feel comfortable in the pocket. It's now 13 more games of experience and it's a different chemistry between Mahomes and the O-line. I think Mahomes will have a much better game vs week 5. I don't think the Chiefs/Mahomes will have 4 turnovers this game.

I think it will be close and last team with the ball will probably come away with a victory.

Yup, it should be one of the highest scoring games in post-season history. After I type this, watch it be like 10-3 at half-time lol.

I just came back to add a thought and laughed because I was thinking the same thing. Could we be talking about the two backs, Singletary and Mckinnon tomorrow, instead of Allen and Mahomes? It becomes a lower scoring game decided on the ground?

Local radio got my attention. They expected the Chiefs to limit the big plays and force the Bills to a run game with shorter passing. That worries me because Chiefs have had issues w/solid tackling in some games. Can the Chiefs stay in position and wrap up (rally to the ball)? The two young linebackers in Gay and Bolton will be the key...not only in their performance, but limiting snaps from players like Sorensen and Niemann.

Obviously, 2 deep defenses have limited the Chiefs to their short passing game, limiting the big plays. I expect more of the same tonight, but vs week 5, the Chiefs have figured out how to be patient without the chunk plays.

One thing that won't be a factor is weather tonight. It's sunny and mild for this time of year. I expect low 30's and calm (winds) at kick-off.

Rodgers in a big game 0 td's and 2 hundred nothing yards.

I hope it is not going to be an entire week of blaming the coach's, special teams, the receivers, the o-line...Of course everyone but the guy who put up a stinker of a game and couldn't even muster a single TD pass!

I think it was a team loss but that's a glaring statistic on his 17 year resume -

0 Super Bowls in over 10 years and so many post-season losses.

I think it's pretty rough to place the blame on special teams or a defense that only allowed a field goal. Rodgers is on that field for 50% or more of the game. His poor performance is the reason they lost last night imo.

[Moviefan1203]

Don’t be surprised if there’s more defense tonight than people are expecting. Might be a lot of yards given up, but I would expect to see a lot of the bend but don’t break strategy.

It’s a great day! Rodgers

Jimmy G didn't throw a touchdown in yesterday's game either. He hasn't thrown a touchdown in the last two of his playoff wins against Rodgers.

Seeing Rodgers and the Packers blow it in the playoffs year after year, it never gets old. And Packers fans talk so much crap all season, it feels great to rub it all back in their faces.

Hopefully he leaves the NFC North and that division can finally be wide open again. I have never seen it be that way.

Just wanna see the Rams go down now. I always loathe teams that try to buy a championship over actually building a team.

[ctujackbauer]

Got a Starbucks caramel ribbon crunch frappucino for today's Rams game. Let's do this!

Oh wait, game is an hour away, let's do this in an hour.

There are many roads to Dublin. Not every team competes by stockpiling picks (Cleveland, Miami, etc.)

Every team has a minimum-spend salary cap anyway, it's not like the MLB.

Yea it's hard for me to blame Rodgers for the loss considering how bad Jimmy G's been playing and still got the W.

It's not a beautiful day in Mr. Roger's neighborhood right now.

Don't you love Karma?

Be still my heart, be still.

Brady has come back from larger deficits countless times before.

[Tony208]

This has been the Bucs defense all year. They're going home.

Lol

[Blacknapkins]

Brady got a boo-boo. That might have been my favorite penalty in a long time.
