The extra playoff game actually matters. These games don’t. We can lose them and be no worse for it. [Reply]
The decision comes down to prioritizing Mahomes’ health a month from now over potentially losing the #1 seed.
Considering we can win a SB without the #1 seed but not without Mahomes, I think the answer is obvious and I fully expect the Chiefs to reach that conclusion too if Mahomes is not near 100% by Saturday. [Reply]

Are we playing SMU on Saturday?
when i say comfortably i don’t mean a blowout. it’ll probably be a game that is close for most of it but at the end of the day i expect us to control the flow and i’m pretty certain there will be an opportunity for us to put this game away at the end. [Reply]

3.5 weeks off. Their next meaningful game would be 1/18. So 25 days. [Reply]

You're assuming that playing Mahomes equals him not playing in the playoffs. That's just plain old defeatism. [Reply]

I mean...that scenario is about as realistic as Mahomes sitting out.
You'd be the 3 cause you'd lose to the Steelers... [Reply]
Can somebody explain this to me? With Mahomes' injury, people automatically assume the worst. But Wentz winning a game? That's almost a sure thing. People have lost their minds. [Reply]

Well see if we just implement the white boy Carson-Carson offense we'd be much better. [Reply]

Well you are giving them our game so that's then 2 more...which the Bengals shit their pants and fuck up constantly and the Ravens suck against them so it's actually pretty possible they win 13 games. [Reply]
