We emptied the tank defensively on them and still had to hang on like grim death to win that game after getting a massive lead.
Miami will beat us by 17 if we play them again.
As of right now? Baltimore is my pick. They are far more built for this than Miami. They don’t need Jackson at his best to beat Miami while the Dolphins will need Tua at his best against the Ravens. I just can’t see Miami going into Baltimore in January and knocking the Ravens off. [Reply]

It’s been said all year that the offense would get better, the drops cleaned up, the penalties reduced, and the turnovers eliminated. But the fact remains that every one of those things continues to define the 2023 Chiefs week-to-week. With 4 regular season games remaining it seems like a huge stretch to believe it will change, especially given the personnel involved.
100% it's why the loss of quality WRs was clearly a very bad decision. This offense isn't feared in the least; this group isn't even good enough to avoid a silly "lined-up offsides" penalty. Nevermind that it wasn't called when they were, but that's just how the NFL officials are trained to call gmes. [Reply]

He won't quit if we flame out early. But if he comes back next year Veach owes us a SB favorite roster, no Green Bay Packering it next offseason. [Reply]

There should be some serious loading up and credit card spending.
We wasted the best defense we may ever have in the Mahomes era.
One receiver could have made a difference. [Reply]
I think the Bills are playing @ Miami week 17 for a bid to the playoffs. If Bills win, turning right around and playing them again wildcard weekend #7 Bills @ #2 Dolphins. [Reply]

Based on what the Bills did to us today, the Ravens would have a puncher's chance at shutting the Chiefs out.
The quick hitters to Rice are likely going to dry up in the postseason.
Teams are going to start camping that shit.
Just stated a fact. 12-5 is a strong possibility for the Chiefs and also the other top contenders. It’s going to come down to whether the prince can knock off Baltimore in Jacksonville and if Dallas can take out Miami on the road. Both very doable. [Reply]
