Hell, wasn't Lamar whinging about how beat up he was in the AFC Championship being why he couldn't play his best? And then they go right back to the same strategy of running him into the ground, except this time they have Henry with him.
They're the exact opposite of being built for January. [Reply]

I don't get too caught up in click bait rankings.
But rankings are subjective and can take more than record.
The loss of Rice was a blow. Sure, KC isn't the only team with injuries. The Lions probably over rated. Texans are over rated until Nico comes back.
And that Ravens game would not have taken much to come out differently.
So there is your argument.
But if you just want seeding instead of ranking, stay out of the debate. [Reply]
I'm not sure what to make of the Vikings. From what little I have seen of them, their OL seems to be giving the QB a lot of time or maybe just playing teams with no pass rush. [Reply]

The Lions... I'm not crazy about them being ahead of us. Hutchinson is not just another injury. That's a really, really bad injury specifically for that defensive roster.
But if the Chiefs aren't ranked in the top 3, I don't know what you're doing.
Edit: changed are to aren't
Just...stop. It's not just unreasonable, it's stupid [Reply]

Brady literally converted a million 3rd downs, miracle catches by Hogan/Edelman, blown calls in their favor all night, and it STILL took Dee's pinky for us to go to OT, and a coin flip decided the outcome. So...uhh no that running game didn't "beat KC" [Reply]
