If the Chiefs win out, they will be in, and then it is on. It doesn’t really matter if they win the division at this point. Would have to likely play Denver or NE or both before the AFC championship anyway. So win that game, have the other lose or win both, and you still host the AFC Championship game.
@AnthonyRothman Explain that the pressure of the Bears needing to get first downs to end the game is more significant along with the hope the eagles defense has to win when down 8. When down 9, the defense feels like the game is over.
@RealMNchiefsfan Should have drafted Treveyon Henderson. Not having a run game that scares anyone has consistently hurt how the OL feels and takes the pressure off Mahomes. It isn’t rocket science. Teams are saying, pass to beat us against 7-8 defenders.
Do you see GK and Charles on there? Yes. Because the entire offensive line for the other team is worried about Jones. Plus you use a piece of paper to tell you how hard a player plays or how they affect the other team. Go back and watch almost every play Jones was in. Then tell me how many of those he was double or triple teamed. Yet he still affected their offense and others got the sack or tackle. You cited one play. I’m sure Andy and Veach are working on his release. Gtfoh.
@NFLSTATISTIC You don’t know about late game dynamics either. More likely to get a PI from defenders who were deeper running at the back and receiver. Better percentage chance to get a call over a catch in the end zone with 7-8 defenders on 4-5 receivers.
Meh. When 0-2 I just hoped to get to 4-5/5-4 by the bye week. Get through next week by hopefully find a way to beat a really good Lions team, and get Rice back. Beat the Raiders then hopefully the Commanders and then it is the Bills to be 5-4/4-5. 8 games left with a full offense and a defense that always grows through the year.
The 3 losses were all winnable games and seemingly good opponents. Would not be surprised if all three are playoff teams.
@MatthewArn63254@bellevuehusky@MrOH1O But they are using the motivation from Oregon to play Ohio State and that’s why they are going to be loud? Not because they want to be loud for their team? Most college fans don’t need an extra reason to be loud when a big time school is coming in. Sounds like pedestrian fans.
Of course he does. But he definitely was the aggressor on Sunday night. Everyone loved Kelce’s emotions up until a year ago. Most of those complaining have never played football at any level. And no one on here really knows how their relationship is in private. It’s literally nothing.
The Chiefs need to be at 4-4 or 5-3 by the time they play Buffalo. If they can get there, the remaining schedule with a healthier squad after the bye looks very manageable. 11-6, 12-5, 13-4 all are playoff guaranteed records and if 12-5 or 13-4 could be in play for a top seed. But we’ve seen before that the Chiefs do not need to be the top seed to get to the AFC championship and potentially the Super Bowl.
