I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

You can keep ignoring everything but the results for CIN, BUF and SF, while KC has a clear advantage in the 3 critical areas (FO, HC, QB) and i'll keep posting twixters and stats until a magic fairy comes along and sprinkles pixie dust on my team.
Let me know when your trophy for teh best statz arrives in the mail. [Reply]

First of all, dingleberry, unless you're a biased troll, no you don't have him a more than 9. The total games they've lost by one score or less is 19. In a couple of those games, burrow failed to extend/win and then the defense failed to stop the GWD, so they both get credit.
And FYI, Pat has 22 losses of one score or less.
Burrow - 7 GWD, 19 one score losses
Mahomes - 18 GWD, 22 one score losses
For reference, Herbert has 14 game winning drives. Does that put him near Mahomes level? [Reply]

Good luck rfaulk. I'll be looking for the stadium fire on tv at the end if they lose to the Raiders.
Skipping this one myself. Eyeing to return to Paycor Dec 1 against the Squealers.
And BTW, Chiefs know all about having an atrocious (injured o-line) in a SB. Didn't turn out so well for them either. Not even Mahomes was able to overcome that (and that's really saying something). [Reply]

Excluding Playoffs, Mahomes has 63 wins that didn’t require a game-winning drive. Herbert only has 20 wins excluding the game-winning drives. 79% win rate overall for Mahomes and a 49% win rate for Herbert. Not great for Justin. [Reply]

PS - His wrist is fine, dork.
Gosh I feel sorry for you with so much futile analysis. You remind me of an Alex Smith era Chiefs fan.
True fact though: The Bengals are currently the best 3-5 team in the entire NFL. [Reply]
