They’ve also played an entire extra season worth of games over the last 5-6 years. I’m sure they’re worn down more than most teams. Plus Mahomes ankle is injured. He’s a bad ass cuz he plays through it, but it is there. [Reply]

Which is why the #1 seed is extra critical this year.
Chiefs with the early bye this season, relying on older players at key positions, the wear and tear from extended postseason runs, etc.

In week 11, the Chiefs then lose their FIRST game to a very good Denver team, and someone posts, "I can now see why the Eagles fired Andy." and then goes on to list all of Andy's flaws. :-)

Well maybe it’s not dooming, but the sarcastic Captain Hindsighting from Sassy Squatch sure is annoying. [Reply]
We handed the game to the Bills as much as they happily took it.
Ignoring a Kareem Hunt that repeatedly gashed the defense in favor of calling passes they struggled to block up killed several possessions.
Steve Spagnuolo appeared to be the only person on the planet completely unaware that Josh Allen wasn't putting the ball in anyone else's hands on 4th n 2.
As frustrating as that game was to watch, it played out just like several wins. Need points? Boom. Got em.
Down 2 and defense gets the stop we drive for game winning field goal and the band plays on.
Defense hit a speed bump and surrendered 7 when they absolutely couldn't do that, and it sealed the game.
We're going to murder Carolina and Vegas, and no better time for back to back get right games.
The L forces cleanup. It shows you can't just sleepwalking to wins, and you need to pull your head out of your ass if you want to win against a top contending football team.
The LT situation is a problem. Wanya os a guard at best, swing tackle in a pinch.
I'd prefer Thuney start playing snaps at LT and move Wanya inside. If Mahomes is protected and moreover TRUSTS that he's protected, he's unstoppable.
Happy feet and rushed throws, free shots on him, they're all having a profound effect on his statlines this year. [Reply]
