Game Thread: Divisional Round Playoff Games

[belcherboy]

Not that I have any problem whatsoever still having a dog in the fight, but why so happy with the Swifty angle...?

It just adds something different to the season and playoffs. I loved his brother's reactions too. On top of that, I was watching the game at a friends home who has teenage daughters, and they were locked into the game. It was wild to see it.

I don't see a downside here, and I think it adds a new dynamic to the game that, at least I, haven't seen before...that I can remember.

The bit with his brother was entertaining, but any other fan jumping from a box into the stands drunk to cheer a big play would've been escorted out.

From the telecast, the only real evidence that this was a Bills home game were the names in the end zones. Very few shots of the home fans, but plenty of the Kelce clan and endless commercials featuring Chiefs. Even most college games don't have that much exposure for the home team, let alone a visiting team.

Is the Bills stadium built on an ancient Indian burial ground?

They seem cursed.

Just too many injuries on defense to slow that Chiefs offense. Other than that ridiculous fake punt (which they were bailed out of by that fumble through the end zone), the Bills played mistake free, ball control offense. When they did divert from that plan (taking a deep shot), they ended up punting. Still, they had a typical make for a very reliable kicker in Bass miss the mark for the tie. Of course, I don't have a lot of confidence that they would've kept the Chiefs out of FG range in the last 1:40, but they were right there.

Their chances against the Ravens defense next week might be considerably different.

2 most hated words in bills history,wide right.congrats to the chiefs and lions.

Do you have any confidence that the Bills were going to keep the Chiefs out of FG range with 1:40 remaining? I don't.

Bills needed that TD, and the Chiefs pushing the OL into Josh just as he was about to find Shakir open in the back of the end zone was the real deciding play IMO.

Yeah, it is definitely at another level now. I just don't see the downside. The old school guys are threatening to not watch the NFL, but the NFL is killing it with the Taylor Swift crowd watching and buying merchandise.

I'm now rooting for a KC and Detroit rematch in the Super Bowl. Even if Detroit doesn't make it (which looks likely), I would still love to see a KC Super Bowl game.

Two former MVP's. Guessing that's part of the storyline...

I'm one of the rare people here that loves that we get the whole Taylor Swift thing another week!

I wouldn't go that far, but i don't get all of the hate she gets over this relationship..it seems very childish to me.

As someone who lived our half a century Superbowl drought nothing would please me more...

We'll see how it goes...

Not really so much being hatred, it's more of a "ok, we get it" kinda thing...

Yeah, I think the Chiefs were still in a good spot and a lot of coaches would've considered it 4 down territory. The Chiefs D wasn't as gutted as the Bills D but it was the weaker of the two Chiefs units. Also with the history of the series I would've wanted to see the game on the line with Josh Allen if I was a Bills fan.

I've heard some things about the Bills window closing this year but Josh Allen more than anyone can carry a team on his back. They just need a good draft and be a little healthier for a playoff run.

Chiefs having a playoff game where CEH had a huge run and MVS had two big catches. Where has this been all year?

If Detroit shocks the world on Sunday, I'd rather play KC again than Baltimore. Not just because the Lions got destroyed by Baltimore this season and beat KC, but the Taylor Swift thing could turn into a distraction...although it hasn't really distracted them yet this season...so maybe it is wishful thinking.

Regardless, I'll be rooting for the Lions above all else.

A good draft is always helpful, but what they really needed was guys like Gabe Davis, Christian Benford, Tre White, Matt Milano, and Terrel Bernard healthy and available. Tough to compete when you're starting deep depth players at LB and CB against a Chiefs offense, including a LB that was about to retire and was planning an RV trip with his family when the Bills called.

Bills didn't get enough pressure on Mahomes either, but when they did blitz it typically backfired anyway due to those coverage limitations.

If your team has been eliminated and your not cheering for Detroit you're probably a vikings bears or packers fan....

I would too, but only because they beat KC and got stomped by the Ravens. Sunday's game will be a easier to watch, because I don't expect them to win. They have already surpassed expectations for this season... or at least met them. I don't think many fans actually expected them to go to the super bowl this season.

 

[Chief Cola]

Lol you were born the same year I graduated high school, so I actually LIVED that half century of drought for the Chiefs...

At least you had witnessed the Chiefs in the super bowl lol. I went thru 40 years of super bowl parties watching other teams play.

Imagine my shock as I sat down for the big game in 2020 and saw the Chiefs out on the field.
