When I think back to teams we've faced during this run.
1. A hot Jags team who just came back from 20 plus points down. And to make matters worse Pat got injured.
2. Then a huge rival in the Bengels who had beaten us three games in a row including the last playoff game and just went into Buffalo and crushed them.
3. The Eagles who were a number one seed, had a historic passrush and a QB who was in the MVP race.
4. A Miami team who had several dangerous weapons and a great run game.
5. Buffalo in their own building seeking revenge and were riding a long winning streak including a win over us.
6. A Ravens team who were the number one seed. Had the best offense and defense rankings. Had an MVP QB and blew out several playoff teams. Oh, and they were at home.
7. San Fran team who were the number one seed. Loaded with talent from top to bottom with a generational RB, a quality head coach and revenge on their minds
8. Texans with a great defense, a good QB with two stars in Collins and Mixon.
9. Buffalo once again riding high and once again motivated by revenge.
Just the experience of these guys and everything they've faced gives me comfort. We've faced great QB's and teams in their own buildings. We've faced great head coach's and coordinators. We've faced great defenses and run games. We've faced teams who have had our number and teams our for revenge. We've felt the pressure of being favourites and underdogs Our guys have seen it all and that will be crucial on Sunday. [Reply]
The Miami game to me really showed this group’s resolve. Miami was pretty broken at that time, but if the Chiefs had been satisfied with being defending champions, a -4 degree day would have been a great time to dip out.
Miami definitely dipped, but the Chiefs sacked up and showed they weren’t going to go gently into the night. [Reply]
Really fucking sucks for the coaches and players. They’re on a historic run. Nobody has been to 5 of 6 Super Bowls. Nobody has won back to back, and made it back a third straight season. They’ve played more games than any other team in that period, worked their fucking asses off, fought through so much adversity during all 3 seasons. Now they’re on the verge of immortality, and all the media, reporters, past and current players and coaches have NOTHING to talk about or ask them except for ThE rEfS! It’s unbelievably embarrassing the way this team is being treated.
I hope it’s just motivating them, the more they are faced with this stupidity. And I hope they take it all out on the Eagles on Sunday. [Reply]
