Don't forget only having a week between Thursday games... they're fucking heros. [Reply]

With that being said Miller is a huge loss and the Chiefs defense is much better than a year ago. With Bolton being the best MLB in the league & Clark playing better/Dunlap playing like he is I'd argue the Chiefs have premire play on the end with a healthy Jones being one of the best if not the best interior linemen in the game.
This will come down to where the game is played. I think also the Chiefs offense is better than when we last played Buffalo. The offensive line is now healthier, the chemistry at WR is improved, and Pacheco is an upgrade at RB.
Good observation, but I will also say that the Bills were a slipped Mike Hughes away from making 13 seconds irrelevant. They are a great team that most on here acknowledge as the biggest threat to KC. They just aren’t invincible. For whatever reason I don’t think where the game is played will matter as much as the extra week to rest and prepare. [Reply]

Yup. Thursday games are brutal. And to do the back to back with only a week of rest? That’s barbaric, but thankfully the new preseason SB champs (having beaten the Chargers for that trophy this year) overcame unheard of odds while walking to the stadium uphill both ways. [Reply]
I really would have thought Bills fans would feel like they belong now, yet it's "Because Bills" one week and chest pounding over beating bad teams the next week.
I feel like all the crying about adversity is just projecting the pressure Bills fans feel right now, having gotten out from under Brady just to become Mahomes' playoff bitch.. and now being in a fight just to win their division with a 3rd team. After all, the Rams mortgaged their future for a SB victory, so how hard could it be to duplicate?
It's not nearly the pressure a professional football team is feeling, as they're obviously simply doing their job and beating shitty teams.... the butt clenching from the stands is palpable though.
Ya'll may need to invest in some anxiety meds, the real season doesn't even start for another month.
The New England victory is especially impressive for the Bills considering that just earlier that week, Sean McDermott went to Denny's for dinner and the waiter forgot the side bacon he ordered with his Moons Over My Hammy.
What bravery and resilience that team has shown. Such bad luck and they've overcome all of that to win these games! [Reply]

Context.
Did Miami play those mediocre teams while their team was ravaged with injuries, illness sweeping through the locker room, a QB with a torn UCL, losing a home game due to a natural disaster, and being on the road for 3 straight weeks? [Reply]
