I will take the best postseason QB the league has ever seen and Andy Reid when the lights are brightest in the 4th quarter.

If either team gets their asses kicked, it'll be Buffalo.

And there is no way Spags is going to allow that to happen on Sunday.

This is Buffalo’s best chance at a SB since :13. Allen will break himself if needed to win this game.

I still struggle to hate Buffalo.

I like Josh Allen. I even like Sean McDermott and his weird terrorist sympathizing. I kinda like Cooper getting away from Oakland and then Cleveland. I've always like Samuel. I like most of their defense (Von Miller excluded).

Cook getting out of Dalvin's shadow is a fun story.

Their fans are no different than we are -- they just haven't had the recent titles. Historically it's hard not to like Kelly/Thomas/Reed/Bruce/Levy.

I can't bring myself to hate the Bills.

But I absolutely think we're a better football team.

We both know that it's not about what the fans feel, it's the players. I highly doubt anyone on the Bills roster is feeling overconfident. This will be the toughest game on the schedule to date.

Looks like we got another rfaulk here. Acts cordial but really us just waiting to rub it in our faces if the bills ever win a playoff game against us. ...note the passive aggressive jab about the narrative that he supposes...

This game really makes me nervous.

I think the defense can hold Buffalo to 24 or less, the issue is, the offense is bi-polar and def came out rusty this past weekend for sure.

If we get the offense we saw in Pitt or in the first Texans game, that would be great. But the offense has just sputtered most of the year, then found a way in the 4th.

The problem was, when the defense wasn't stopping the Bills the sputtering on offense means we lost by 9.

This game will be tougher than the SB because neither the Commanders or Eagles are as good as the Bills. This is it.

After the first game, wasn't there some discussion about the bills copying what the chargers did in how the rushed mahomes? Cause after I saw discussion about this, I thought, they played their hand too soon.

Oh, and we’re gonna need to get production out of our WRs. 48yds between Worthy, Brown, and Hopkins is just not going to cut it.

Bruh you literally had an avatar making fun of them just a couple years ago because you had really started to hate them after the Hamlin shit. WTF happened? Lol.

Don’t worry, I hate them enough for both of us. Buncha dildo throwing, table smashing mongoloids.

I still don't understand why people think that the Chiefs are holding back anything. It's like people saying that Wile E Coyote was holding back all of his great ideas. This is the Chiefs offense; long drives, chew the clock, don't make mistakes and get points. The league has decades of seeing Andy Reed and seven years of Patrick. Just what sort of magic are you expecting? An end around in the red zone that loses 10 yards? Refusing to throw the ball into the endzone immediately after a huge return? Football seems pretty simple however as the Ravens showed us the last two years, trying to do the unexpected instead of what you are good at doesn't seem to work out very well.

You don’t understand? When the Chiefs have shown a history of holding back plays and unleashing them in the playoffs?

Did we see the Chiefs spamming Tom and Jerry/Corn Dog in the regular season to pump up red zone conversions during the regular season the past two years? Or did they break those out for key spots in the playoffs?

Did we see the Chiefs spamming run-pass options with Mahomes before the playoffs, ever?

You’re going to tell me they haven’t worked out a counterpunch to the “crash the line with power rushes to the QB’s left hand, spy prepared to chase Mahomes when he scrambles right” tactic the Chargers pioneered and the Bills used in many key spots in the regular season?

It’s one of the reasons KC has been able to amp up its red zone efficiency so much in the playoffs, even back to the 2019 run. They had what was, to some, concerning “conversion rates in the red zone, and then in the playoffs they turn into an ultra efficient red zone TD machines while breaking out shit from a Rose Bowl in the 1940s.

Spagnuolo has done it, too - saving a major tendency breaker look for a must-have spot in the postseason.

People expect some new wrinkles because new wrinkles have come out every year.

You said it. If the Chiefs lose to Buffalo it seems likely they go on to win the SB. People don’t wanna acknowledge it but they’re the most complete team left and Josh Allen is unbelievably hard to stop. It would suck seeing them hoist the Lamar Hunt trophy in Arrowhead but if it happens I won’t be watching so **** them. Chiefs will need their “A” game to beat them.

Chiefs offense hadn't been on the field for nearly a month. Rust was clearly a factor.

Nah, rfaulk34 is here all throughout the year - he’s a CP regular. This dude is just another opposing fan coming here to “talk football”, but what he really wants is for us to suck his Team’s dick. It happens every year with every team we face in the Playoffs. Starts off nice and playful, and then when we don’t bend the knee to their team, they start getting angry and it turns into a poo throwing contest. Not even worth acknowledging, IMO, because their “insidery analysis” can be plucked off any fan site/blog and it’s generally worthless. It’s why I just stick to my own, and don’t go trolling on other message boards
