Apparently that song, and the Killers in general, have blown up in the UK?

I know the sing. Mr. Brightside at the start of the 4th quarter at Michigan Stadium. That was the first place I saw it. Not sure the connection other than it would be a fun song to sing in a crowd.

They (Bills fans) also do the 7 Nation Army chant during kickoffs, just like the Ravens.

Man, Buffalo’s wide receivers really haven’t done much over the last month and a half.

It’s been pretty much all running backs and tight ends.

We’re gonna have to leave no doubt. Out execute them in so many ways.

Those calls last week were the correct ones, dirty plays toward Mahomes. But we won’t get those calls tomorrow.

Fortunately, I think we are set up to always be a step or two ahead of what they’re capable of.

You can tell that Buffalo feels more urgency this year than prior seasons. Making it this far for first time since ‘20, I think there’s a fairly decent chance they come out tight.

Chiefs would be wise to pounce early with aggression.

I know Buffalo was missing a couple guys last time, but I’m just not seeing it with their offensive weapons.

The yardage they’ve produced recently reflects that feeling. The best games from their WRs since the Rams game have all been like 60 yards and maybe a TD. Just very average production from guys who are just fine.

Add Watson and Omenihu to the defense from the first match up and I don’t see the Bills having a big offensive game.

For all the talk of Josh Allen going “superhuman”, he’s got 7 games under 200 yards passing this year.

We are not running into the 2018-2019 Chiefs. Or anything remotely close to it.

No one besides Chiefs fans are going to see the pathway, but there’s a very real possibility that they just won’t be able to keep up with our offense. Feels like on this particular Sunday, we are set up to be better in every phase of the game.

Like last year’s playoff game when we scored 4 points per drive. I think it could be that type of night.

They've been really good at running between the tackles. If Bolton, Tranquill and Chenal bring their A game and force the run game to the outside it could be a real game changer.

Who's under more pressure? Mahomes or Allen? Let's ask Nick.

For all the talk about the OLs…

Last game:

Chiefs - 17 carries for 78 yards (4.6 yards per)
Bills - 31 carries for 104 (3.4 yards per), which was 30 for 78 before Allen’s TD run at the end.

As for pass protection, is it safe to assume that the Bills pass rush will be a little less successful and the Chiefs pass rush will be a little more successful than last time? Add better coverage with Watson and a better rush with Omenihu.

Guys this is so surreal. I remember it seems like yesterday there was a Ravens fan in here arguing with us the night before the AFCCG. And I was sure we’d win.

Not as sure about this one but I can’t believe it’s already been a year.

I think the refs just flat out let the players play in this one. Stay out of the game and only call the blatant and obvious penalties. The fewer the calls the better. The NFL does NOT want the refs to be the story at the conclusion of this game. And quite frankly, that favors the Chiefs.

If McDuffie, Watson, and Williams can play physical, it’s curtains for the Bills.

If Jawaan Taylor just gets the same treatment as most OTs, nightly night Buffalo.

TMZ asked Dante Hall if he was tired of the Chiefs winning? wtf? lol

I'd like to see a hurry up/no huddle on the first possession just to **** with them...it's the first AFCCG for a lot of their players and have replacements in their defensive back field. There will be nerves at first...

Andy does not use the Hurry Up offense anywhere near as often as he should. Mahomes is pretty much unstoppable when Andy lets him go with the Hurry Up approach.

They dont use it at all...it would be a baller move. Get them on their heels from the onset...

They definitely havent been maximizing Mahomes talent at off-script...it's a natural flow for him.

KC has the best record in the NFL..and ranks 32nd in explosive plays...the very worst. That is an amazing stat when you look back at the classic Rams/Chiefs game...it doesn't even compute. It's so far-fetched that it almost appears deliberate....how does an Andy Reid offense with the best QB on the planet rank dead last in explosive plays....and still only lose one game?

Bizzaro world...

Belichick just said, "this is going to be a tough game for KC, as Buffalo's a really good team". Feelin nervous about this one.

He’s not wrong. But I feel like people are underestimating us. We are undefeated at home as well and it’s not because of refs.

We saw some Rust in the Texans game but Playoff Pat is a dangerous animal. Especially when he has his Kelce.

Last week we targeted Hollywood and Hopkins so little… one of them is going to turn it on. And if they cover them Kelce can feast.

Spags will undoubtedly have adjusted too since we didn’t even sack Allen last time if I’m correct.

Well for one it’s nice to have a defense that isn’t from 2018 lol.

I'm not at all...Chiefs get to play without a point spread hanging over them in an AFCCG and all the money on the Bills. Like I said earlier...this hasn't happened in years if ever. They have no governor to keep it close...NFL/Vegas cashes in if they go off. NFL gets the Swifites and KC going for a 3-peat...the Vegas reptiles get to roll around in their piles of gold.

Chiefs/Mahomes are going to bring it...I'm excited to see Spags/Reid calling plays without handcuffs,..32nd in explosive plays? give me a ****ing break..

Unfortunately they probably won't be BS calls. The dude leaves early on almost every play ....

I love it when we're cast in the role of the underdog!

https://images4.imagebam.com/c7/59/51/MEZ7VJS_o.jpg

Even if the Chiefs happen to lose at least they won’t cry to the league to get them to change the rules like the poverty franchise Bills did when they got the overtime rules changed.

I for one would love to see this — especially if we get the ball first.

The handful of times the employed the no huddle this year Mahomes sliced through defenses like a sharp knife thru butter.

Of course Buffalol is a good team. They’re playing in the Championship game. But to feel nervous? After everything that Mahomes and this team has shown us over the years?? They are on the doorstep of immortality. 2 wins to do what no team has ever done. 120 minutes to etch their names in the history books, and complete a feat never before accomplished. We have the most clutch quarterback to have ever played the game. We’ve seen him erase a 24 point lead in one quarter, we’ve seen him win a championship on one leg.

The only team that can stop the threepeat is the Chiefs. And everything they’ve shown us from the beginning of the Mahomes era, until now should have you feeling confident, not nervous. But through all the adversity this team has faced this season, pulling wins out of the jaws of defeat, scratching and clawing to make sure this game is in our home stadium.


They’re not done yet. Now let’s mother ****ing GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think Pat would benefit from being allowed a drive or two to Jim Kelly the place up and **** with a D.

I don't know if drive 1 is the time though. He's sometimes got that Favre thing where he's a touch too amped at the beginning and has to calm himself into the game. A pass or two a touch off, a bit early, etc....

Last year we went to Baltimore who were the number one seed, top of the league in defense and offense rankings, blew out the Lions, Niners and Seattle etc. Had the MVP and just ran all over the Texans. Oh, and we were five point underdogs too.

Today will be tough but is it any different than that challenge we had? Is there more pressure on is than there was facing a red-hot Bengals team who had beaten us three times and Pat was carrying an injury? Is it any tougher than facing a giant killing Titans who had a great defense, AJ Brown, prime Derrick Henry and just took out Brady and Lamar? We'll see.

It's anticlimactic to be honest.

This year has none of the difficulty of last year. We basically got two bye weeks this go round. Buffalo? They don't have a great defense or great weapons. There is no Brady - only a boy who has yet to become a man.

That graphic had Mahomes’ playoff record at 16-4. It should be 16-3, no?

Did he have Brady there to verify?

What matters is that Buffalo doesn't have Brady so their odds of victory are not good...

How could the NFL allow this to happen?

Unless he's counting the 2017 playoff game where Mahomes didn't play. I have no idea why he would do that, but they have staff that compile those statistics for them.

I think during the segment he was showing what would happen if the Bills won this weekend.

Well, ****, ha ha ha

Rank the 7 AFCCG Opponents from the Streak.

Like from easiest to hardest?

2023 Ravens - They were dubbed one of the greatest teams ever by some pundits
2022 Bengals - They were our boogie man with a great offense and a D that knew how to stop us.
2018 Patriots - They were the us of 2018. An undeniable force with no discernibly great strength or weakness.
2024 Bills - Really good but with some big flaws
2020 Bills - Inexperienced and happy to be there
2019 Titans - One man show
2021 Bengals - Got hot at the right time with the right matchups.

1. 2023 Ravens
2. 2020 Bills
3. 2024 Bills
4. 2018 Patriots
5. 2021 Bengals
6. 2022 Bengals
7. 2019 Titans

This is my list, except switch Bengals and Titans at the bottom.

2018 Pats
2021 Bengals
2023 Ravens
2024 Bills
2022 Bengals
2019 Titans
2020 Bills

2023 Ravens
2018 Patriots
2022 Bengals
2024 Bills
2020 Bills
2021 Bengals
2019 Titans

We’re forgetting how hot the 2022 Bengals were. They had a 10 game winning streak coming into that game, and had just dismantled the Bills in Buffalo the week prior. They were firing on all cylinders and the defense that’d given Patrick fits was in its prime.

Considering the mash unit our offense became that game, that’s still the most impressive playoff win in the Andy-Patrick era in my opinion (Spags gets major flowers here, too).

I was more nervous for that game than I was for any of the Super Bowls or AFCCGs. They just new how to beat us and had our number.

It was the most important individual win of our dynasty and I stand by that.

Plus you make a good point about how things went in that game.

Very gimpy Mahomes
Lost Hardman
Lost Toney
Lost JuJu

Had to rely on Playoff MVS, Marcus Kemp, and Skyy Moore at wideout.

My blood pressure was through the roof in the 4th quarter.

There is a graphic at the bottom that says "If he loses on Sunday"

So kinda' like "What if Hitler was the pope."

I get it. Fun with the imagination...

Lost Sneed and Gay on D, too.

I can only laugh whenever Bengals fans blame the refs. Burrow had two shots on our depleted D late in the fourth quarter Burrow with the ball, 1st and 10 with under 2 minutes to play was the worst nightmare of every Chiefs fan.

And yet, we slammed the door on Joe and our special teams (led by Skyy Moore) and our offense (led by an injured Patrick) led the game-winning drive.

You forgot the part where MVS was the only non-practice squad WR on the field.

Ah, I see. Screen is too busy. Way too much writing and numbers all over the place.

You and me both, bro

I'm now seeing 3 outcomes.

1. Chiefs win by 17+ in a dominant force and nobody can cry about the refs
2. KC loses to some awful calls because of the outside pressure.
3. Chiefs get calls because the refs are annoyed by the mass morons and KC wins with something questionable.

It was a line in the sand moment for sure. Losing to them again would have been crushing and I agree that the pressure we faced as a club that day was absolutely massive. But we have no dynasty without coming back from 10 down in the fourth quarter of the first superbowl victory.

Hay - where all the white women bills fans at?

Bills fans have an interesting fan base. Evidently, according to many of them, the game now hinges on whether Benford plays or not.

I was amused by a few Bills’ podcasts who had people on to talk about their injuries but in every case they didn’t ask about availability for the Chiefs game. They were asking about if they would be available in time for the Super Bowl.

Strange.

I'm sure they'll be fine when they're watching the SB from home, or some pool at a vacation destination, or wherever

2023 Ravens dead last or maybe ahead of only Titans

I’d also add that was THE game of Chris Jones’s career.

He was dominant when we needed him to be.

The sack on Burrow to set up Skyy Moore’s punt return is the first highlight on his Hall of Fame video.

Same. Mostly because the gloating from their end would have been insufferable.

If we lose this game it will suck, but I won't hate the Bills for it.

2022 Bengals get dinged for me due to OL health. IIRC, they were down three of five starters, which contributed to Chris Jones’ dominant night.

He did what he needed to do though.

Their OL was trash the year before and we didn’t destroy Burrow like we should’ve.

Totally. A completely different narrative emerges if they lose. I didn’t just want to beat the Bengals in that game, we NEEDED to beat them.

For sure. I wasn’t disagreeing with you; I was responding more in general to the overarching convo about ranking our CG opponents. I prob shouldn’t have quoted your post.

I agree.

#2 and #3 both worry me...
Imagine how annoyed the refs must be right now at other franchises and fans. They aren't just trying to question the integrity of the Chiefs but the integrity of the refs. The refs let quite a bit go in every single game in the name of letting the teams largely dictate their own results. So, I feel like they are going to more or less let everything go or it's going to be a shower of flags against both teams. Given the ref, the latter is probably more likely. I really don't think they'll favor either team.

I imagine that after the world accuses the refs of being dirty, cheating pieces of shit they wouldn't be to excited to do them any favors.

The NFL is getting a huge amount of publicity right now. I'm sure they love it. Not a single soul accusing the NFL of cheating is actually going to quit watching so it only helps ratings.

Bills fans, taking over a Denny's in Liberty




WHAT THE **** IS UP CHIEFS KINGDOM AND OR DENNYS

Oh, gosh. How will we survive?

Denny's seems like a place Bills fans would assemble

Save some pussy for the rest of the kingdom!

Chiefs have improvements at four of the most important non-QB positions since the last meeting...DE, CB, LT and WR.

That's almost an entire off-season worth of additional players.

Tuney, Brown, Watson and Omenihu is a pretty big difference...they are all really good.

I guess you could throw Pacheco in there as well...

That is absolutely true. None of these people complaining are willing to put their money where their mouth is, whether it's in Vegas or in front of their TVs.

I'll put those moons over My-hammy, know what I'm sayin'?

Denny's Pancakes are pretty damn good.

There is no liability to Austin. He's not responsible for posts on his site. Get out of jail free card is given to all social media sites.

The only way Austin can get in trouble is being told by the police(not a user) that this is a real threat and doesn't remove it and something happens.

I did though.
