Shhh... altitude is the cover for shit QB play most of the time, at least around here. Thankfully - you guys drafted a phenom and he's altitude averse. [Reply]

Both are true.
Yes, it is true that quarterbacks win games, as does defense, as do teams.
But to suggest that fatigue doesn't play a factor for visiting teams is dumb.
I've always stated that teams can overcome it with good to great performances. But the field is definitely tilted in Denver's favor. You don't have to believe me, there are plenty of player anecdotes to support the claim. [Reply]

Yes, Mahomes is the great equalizer. He has the ability to overcome home field advantages AND shitty officiating. [Reply]
And I think Denver is a 2nd half team like 2012 this year, as they are still figuring it out on offense. The defense is pretty concerning, but they've played 3 good offenses. Still, I think one great unit is better than 2 above average ones. Even the 2015 team was possibly better than 2012. [Reply]

KC has been worked over way worse by the refs at home in the playoffs.
Well, it was a pretty clear missed call... I think we've seen a few teams bitch and moan about calls in the last year. I know it's been justified with the tenth of a second or some other fractional discrepency. I'm not complaining about it... [Reply]

I have seen it happen multiple times in both college and the NFL it isn't some new horrible thing but to see Chris Harris bitch about it is laughable. I am sure there is plenty of video of Broncs teams getting the tenth of a second or more buffer on the play clock running out. [Reply]
