Go Broncos! They won there last year and with a worse QB, so they can win there this year.

This year has mostly been a shitty NFL season tbh though, but at least the Chiefs have home field and not shitass Buffalo.

Payback this week for that stupid Brazil game

[Robz4000]

Should be a fun postseason but the end result with be the same as the last two tbh.

AFC:
Bills over Broncos
Ravens over Steelers
Chargers over Texans (coin flip imo)

Chiefs over Chargers
Bills over Ravens

Chiefs over Bills

NFC:
Eagles over Packers
Commanders over Bucs

SB:
Chiefs over Lions

^ Ya that's how I see it too

Bills & Lions is what people want. Best player & most attractive play style

That said, I don't see Buffalo really getting past Baltimore if Lamar doesn't shit the bed against Pittsburgh like he often does. The Ravens completely throttled and manhandled Buffalo in their head-to-head and that's a defense that can't really stop the run and thus matches up very poorly against Baltimore. Yes the home/away is different this time but a strong run game like Baltimore's travels well. And their defense has gotten much better in the second half of the season, too, while Buffalo's has gotten worse.

I trust Lamar Jackson in the playoffs as far as I can throw him tbh, and the Ravens defense is abysmal this season.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I trust Lamar Jackson in the playoffs as far as I can throw him tbh, and the Ravens defense is abysmal this season.

I trust Josh Allen in the playoffs as far as I can throw him too, and he's much bigger than Lamar and I weigh 145 which is almost certainly less than you.

Baltimore's defense during the recent win streak has been excellent. Their defense in the first half of the season was very bad (except for the Buffalo win), succumbing to bad teams like the Raiders, which artificially pushed down their overall statistics.

Baltimore has looked like juggernauts lately, Justin Tucker's leg is finally back, and their defense under Zach Orr has dramatically improved lately. Their secondary getting healthy at the right time has been essential. As long as Lamar doesn't have to use his arm to single handedly win they should beat Buffalo. Keep in mind they have a stellar o-line, Henry, and very BQB-friendly run blocking tight ends who can also catch reliably in Andrews and Likely. Hopefully they get Flowers back healthy for that game, he shouldn't be missed too much against Pittsburgh though.

[FrostKing]

Josh is MVP and I think their team/defense is well rounded


Tucker in shambles. At that point Buffalo is equal if not better roster.

:lmao I argued against Jackson being MVP last year, but this year he absolutely deserves it. People buy into recency bias and overrate getting the #1 seed. Last year Lamar's stats were very middling and he was much more of a bus driver a-la 2019 Aaron Rodgers. Legion of Boom era Struggle Wilson et al.

Trash Allen plays in THE WORST division in the NFL and it isn't close.

This year Lamar's stats more or less resemble 2020 Aaron Rodgers, 41+ TD to only 4 INT absolutely deserves MVP, and that's not even counting his rushing TDs and yards. Jackson absolutely deserves it this year. If not him, then Saquon Barkley 100% deserves it, it hasn't gone to a non-QB since 2012 and Barkley is absolutely deserving, well over 2,000 yards in only 16 games, and the Eagles had a better record than Buffalo in a much stronger division. If not him, then yes they missed the playoffs but Burrow with his stats far surpassing Allen's, Burrow was the only thing keeping Cincinnati above a two-win team and getting them to a winning record at all.

Meanwhile Trash Allen gets to bake beef-on-weck cakes back there for hours without any pressure behind the perennially most stacked/ most pampered sus offensive line in the NFL for five years running that, hmm, mysteriously, auspiciously, suspiciously, never gets called for offensive holding, similarly sus to those early and mid 2010s Packers teams. He's had as "bus driver" of a season as it gets. We have ourselves a new pretty boy and he wears #17 for Ontario.

[Robz4000]

Neither of these teams should've been allowed in the playoffs imo.

[Robz4000]

Chargers were cheering in the locker room last weekend when they found out they were playing Houston :lmao

I guess the transition from Herbert into Rivers is complete

Typical playoff Charger stuff, tbh.

Chargers will never be relevant until Dean Spanos sells the team tbh.

[benefactor]

Well even if they get eliminated in the next round it's good to see them look like the team from last year.

[Blake]

Derrick Henry is the MVP this year. I know Barkley is killing it but this team goes how Henry goes.

I don't think that's the same person at all. He was actually quite pro-Mahomes in 2018 and 2019 before he inexplicably disappeared over covid.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Buffalo literally getting away with offsides on defense every other play, the favoritism is disgusting to watch.

[Millennial_Messiah]

James Cook far and away the Bills' MVP, of course bolstered by that offensive line that mysteriously hasn't gotten called for holding since 2020.

I look up and it's midway through the 3rd quarter and Trash Allen has 94 yards and no TDs. :lmao bus driver

[Millennial_Messiah]

Definitely foot out of bounds, no touchdown.

God I'm sick and tired of Nantz and Romo slobbering all over Allen and Buffalo's dick. It's literally 2011 with the Joe Buck "Aaron Godgers" bullshit again.

Agree. I had known this since 2004-2005 with the hurricanes. Red Cross is a top heavy profiteering organization that took 92% of people's donations during the 2004 hurricane season for their own personnel's salaries/ profit while the storm victims got the shaft, and they had the audacity to pull the same pathos marketing shit in 2005 for Katrina and the rest, it was nauseating back then and still is now.

Go Packers? I guess

I knew Denver had next to no chance. The best thing they and KC could have done was play their starters and beat a lousy Denver team last week instead of gift wrapping them that easy win because Cincinnati would have absolutely stood a chance today. The score wasn't indicative of the game and it takes star power to win playoff games, not Denver's stupid green committee approach and a rookie QB.

[lefty20]

Feels like the Refs fucked up on that fumble call. But, it's against the Packers so I'll allow it.

[Robz4000]

Really feels like the NFL is trying to fast forward through these games to get to next weekend tbh.

The important thing to remember is that The Bears decided to go after Swift, instead of trying for any one of Jacobs, Barkley or Henry.

Well done Poles, tbh.

The bandwagon is empty

[lefty20]

I know that pass was under thrown, but how is that not dpi?

[Millennial_Messiah]

All home teams have won so far.

All the Eagles do is squeeze life out of people. Since Week 4 they've been essentially perfect as long as Hurts is playing

The Vikings need Aaron Rodgers More than Ever now, tbh. Darnold ain't it, the Vikings have a mostly complete roster otherwise and JJ McCarthy is a baby/ redshirt rookie coming off a serious injury.

Predictable postseason so far. Hopefully the next rounds aren't as lopsided tbh.

[FrostKing]

https://i.ibb.co/K6Xc1RT/jackson-allen-ap.jpg

[Millennial_Messiah]

Predictable postseason so far. Hopefully the next rounds aren't as lopsided tbh.

they won't be, except maybe the Chiefs over Houston by a mile, and it's possible that Detroit could curbstomp the overachiever Redskins. I fully expected Tampa to win that game but that fluke turnover on the handoff exchange was the difference in the game, usually it isn't.

Rams at Eagles... gonna be a tough matchup for LA. Saquon murdered them last time out. The Rams have top flight offensive weapons, but problem is so do the Eagles, and they have a QB and HB who can run, run, run... and their defense is tougher. Will take some Herculean stuff from Stafford, Kupp, Nacua, Higbee etc to keep them in the game, and then at least one fluke play on defense or special teams to go their way, kind of like the way they beat Buffalo 44 to 42. They will have to win a shootout and limit time of possession because the Eagles will just grind you out, they're so damn physical and they've had the best offensive line in the league for the last like 12-13 years ever since Lane Johnson came into the league. The Rams will need to score multiple touchdown drives early in the game if they want to compete and win, earn the right to stop Saquon and rush Hurts. Field goals won't cut it. They need to be aggressive, which isn't necessarily Sean McVay's archetype as it is Sirianni's. They basically need a perfect game on offense like they did against Buffalo.

[FrostKing]

Viking fan reaction is interesting. Selling this team low and being too optimistic for JJ.

Best Wild Card team is always demoralizing but you climb the ladder. Ya they overachieved this season but new QB is always a gamble.

[DAF86]

I don't think that's the same person at all. He was actually quite pro-Mahomes in 2018 and 2019 before he inexplicably disappeared over covid.

The Texans game was just a preview of what's to come.

There’s maybe 5 NFL teams with a bleaker future than the Cowboys right now. I imagine you’ll be trying on new skins well into next year season too

[Donald Sterling.]

Everyone shifting the blame to Andrews as if Lamar didn't throw an awful int straight towards a Bills player, had a fumble that led to a Bills td, and a failed 2pt conversion with Likely wide open on the edge of the red zone which forced them to go for 2 at the end again.

It all adds up in a game that close and with Bills not turning the ball over.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Saints, Giants, Niners (if they overpay Purdy), Jaguars, maybe you can throw in Raiders and Bears because of the divisions they play in respectively.... maybe you can arguably throw the Jets in there as well considering their lack of ability to ever find a competent coach and offense. Their defense is decent when it's healthy.

I'd argue even though a playoff team the Steelers are in a rough spot too because of the Wilson contract + having the most expensive defense in the NFL and also one of the oldest defenses, they're going to fall of and/or retire soon and leave behind a lot of dead cap money, and we know that in their current form they can't hang with the best teams in the league.

Basically teams that have massively bloated salary cap with really awful contracts and not much upward mobility because of the cap and teams without a direction, have the bleakest futures. Dallas doesn't seem to have direction and they easily could have been just fine off this offseason in year 1 of the rebuild if they hadn't extended Prescott in week 1 of 2024. Let both Prescott and McCarthy go, keep Lamb, trade Parsons for a ton of picks and start over the way the Lions did in 2021.

At least other bottoming teams like the Patriots, Browns, Titans, even the Panthers have upward mobility and tons of cap room and draft capital. Teams that should be on the rise, even if slowly, in 2025.

You overrate the Cap. Almost every QB is over paid in todays NFL. Winners roster construct around it. The meat of the roster is in and out the door within 4 seasons. Need to draft well and especially in later Rounds to replenish the roster.




Edit: compare the '23 and '24 Passer Rating leaders. It's a constant flip flopping list. Every QB is overpaid tbh

Teams with lots of Cap continue to lose
Teams with little Cap continue to win

Cope.

McCaffrey is done and they can't afford to keep Samuel or Greenlaw. Heck, even Kittle is on the chopping block, potentially. Trent Williams is on his last legs, will retire sooner than later. Purdy is an average QB and a below average league starter and a system QB at best. The fact he's young and more mobile than a Garoppolo is a plus, but as a passer he's about the same as ole Jimmy. Their overall roster as a result is probably about league average at best.

49ers made the SB after overpaying Jimmy

And honestly the team has alot of Cap space. If we draft strong again coming up... watch out.

I guarantee the Dline and/or Oline will be strong in '25. We might still fall short at the finish line but my 49ers will be back there again!

Barring injuries, they're not better than the Rams in '25. Seattle has a decent team but their QB is basically 2019 Jameis Winston. They replace Geno with an upgrade who's even a solid bus driver and they're back in playoff contention. Arizona also isn't terrible as long as Murray is healthy, they're the same roughly .500 team they were this year.

They play the NFC South and AFC South in 2025 so it's likely the NFC West will have some of the best records in the conference overall in '25, maybe with all four teams at or above .500 if healthy, but it's going to be a competitive and tough decision. No team in that division reeks of utter incompetence.

I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of consistent roster construction. The second biggest factor in terms of being a team that consistently wins in the playoffs vs a regular choke artist (Chargers, Dallas, Minnesota, etc) is being in a northern city (KC included) with low IQ white trash fans, outdoor stadium, and harsh cold climate. If both teams are pretty even, there's a huge difference in going on the road to a warm weather climate indoor facility with a bunch of rich fagg0ts like LA, Dallas, and Miami vs having to go on the road to a place like Pittsburgh or Philadelphia where a bunch of hillbillies with missing teeth or pelting you with snowballs and yelling the N word over and over. Ironically though, the 49ers have been the one anomaly in this regard because their teams over the last decade have just been more physical than the others.

If I were a billionaire owner, I'd buy a team in a terrible climate and then have an Idiocracy type tiering system to determine who gets front row seats. Have everyone who purchases tickets take an online IQ test. Give everyone a score where the lower IQ the more points you get. For every point lower than 100, they get +1 point. Additional points for criminal record, missing teeth, out of wedlock children etc. Those with the highest score get the front row seats and then you start filling the seats upward with more civilized functioning members of society. For a playoff game, I'd probably throw in a free six pack for anyone in the lower bowl tbh

Same reason people watched the NBA in early 2000s, hoping that someone would beat the Lakers despite having to play 5 v 8.

Idk why you are acting like Refs favoring one team is some unheard of concept that's never ever been done in any sport whatsoever. You know better bro. Shits been happening across all sports for a long time. It's just not always as blatant as the 2002 Lakers vs Kings.

It's usually with some subtlety, but you can still tell when one team gets getting the benefit of the doubt in a vast majority of 50/50 calls.

Ok, tell me which are these destiny altering erroneous calls that made the Chiefs win key games that they would have lost other way.

[lefty20]

Ok, tell me which are these destiny altering erroneous calls that made the Chiefs win key games that they would have lost other way.

8 of their last 11 playoff wins have been a 1 possession games. May be the Chiefs would've all of them without getting crucial drive sustaining calls. But we don't know for sure because the Refs keep putting their stamp on the games.

Lets not consistently give Mahomes calls that every other QB is lucky to get once in a while. Everyone needs to be judged by the same damn rule book.

Is that really too much to ask for?

Literally both of the calls(you know the ones) from last week. Every other QB would be lucky get just 1 of those called in their favor. Mahomes got both.

In other games...

We saw Goff get hammered but no call. Mahomes gets that call 100/100 times.

Daniels get hit a little late while going out of bounds but no call. Mahomes gets that call 100/100 times.

I'm not gonna go back and watch all 11 of his last wins and game to time stamp each and every single call you. I wish I had that kind of spare time on hand.

Seems like you are not willing to take off your homer glasses. I might do the same were I in your shoes. In fact, I will be the same once Wemby starts getting special treatment from the Refs.

But if you ever do consider watching the game without them on, you will see that there is some merit to what I'm saying.

Refs are not the only reason the Chiefs are winning. Only an idiot would think or say that. But it sure is good to have be vigilant when it comes to looking out for your best player.

Literally both of the calls(you know the ones) from last week. Every other QB would be lucky get just 1 of those called in their favor. Mahomes got both.

In other games...

We saw Goff get hammered but no call. Mahomes gets that call 100/100 times.

Daniels get hit a little late while going out of bounds but no call. Mahomes gets that call 100/100 times.

Imma be honest and say that the two calls from last week, I wouldn't have called. That said, the first one looked like a clear hit to the head on real time. Beaner ESPN even called that at first glance. The play even got reviewed by video officials and mantained the call becuase there was contact helmet to helmet.

The second one was bad, but hardly the first time it ever gets called (Josh Allen gets tons of those).

At the end of the day neither call was the difference.

Also, there was literally a play where it seemed like Mahomes got hit out of bounds on this game and it didn't get call. So it's a lie that he gets all the calls.

You not remembering any egregious call in favour of the Chiefs in the playoffs is exactly my point. You don't remember any, because there isn't any. Off the top of my head I can recall mutliple bogus calls Brady used to get. This "Chiefs get all the calls" narrative is based on a colective brain wash of opposing fans convincing themselves of things that actually don't happen in real life.

Or maybe they have a better, more intelligent, defense now, that doesn't need to commit as many penalties, tbh.

That sounds cute but then you actually sit and watch the games and see garbage like this in every swifts game:

Then swiftfans have nothing that can possibly justify this kind of whistle. So they resort to the remedial "Get good" like a 14 year old talking trash on his Xbox :lol

You can literally make a video like this for every team on every game. It's literally nitpicking any bulshit that can pass as a close call just for the sake of crying. :lol

On the other hand, imagine if Mahomes got this call on an AFC championship game. :lol

Seems like that's when the Refs decided to start giving Mahomes the Brady treatment. And that's the really sad part because Andy Reid and Mahomes had already proven that they are more than good enough to win without the Refs aiding them even a tiny bit.
People forget how close Kaepernick was to a completely different career.

Ravens SB: Crabtree being held continually at the goal line. Hindsight should have ran Gore til the inch but versus Suggs, Lewis and Reed floating... those passes made sense.

Fast forward to the following season and Sherman INT. Kaepernick & Crabtree were badly ridiculed by NFL fans. Leading to collapse in only Year3. And then political activism. Colin remains a sad rise and fall. If only that 1 flag...

[FrostKing]

I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of consistent roster construction. The second biggest factor in terms of being a team that consistently wins in the playoffs vs a regular choke artist (Chargers, Dallas, Minnesota, etc) is being in a northern city (KC included) with low IQ white trash fans, outdoor stadium, and harsh cold climate. If both teams are pretty even, there's a huge difference in going on the road to a warm weather climate indoor facility with a bunch of rich fagg0ts like LA, Dallas, and Miami vs having to go on the road to a place like Pittsburgh or Philadelphia where a bunch of hillbillies with missing teeth or pelting you with snowballs and yelling the N word over and over. Ironically though, the 49ers have been the one anomaly in this regard because their teams over the last decade have just been more physical than the others.

If I were a billionaire owner, I'd buy a team in a terrible climate and then have an Idiocracy type tiering system to determine who gets front row seats. Have everyone who purchases tickets take an online IQ test. Give everyone a score where the lower IQ the more points you get. For every point lower than 100, they get +1 point. Additional points for criminal record, missing teeth, out of wedlock children etc. Those with the highest score get the front row seats and then you start filling the seats upward with more civilized functioning members of society. For a playoff game, I'd probably throw in a free six pack for anyone in the lower bowl tbh

Ok, but tell me which are these suppossed calls that Mahomes gets and nobody else gets. Like give me a real life example of something that happened during a playoffs game.

Chiefs already got the Hill Mary hold on Bosa play.

Shipley proving any RB can do damage behind the right O-line/scheme.

[Millennial_Messiah]

If it wasn't for every single bullshit fluke lucky fumble going Buffalo's way, the Chiefs would be up by 21-24 points and it'd be a blowout.

Go Chiefs :toast

that last drive, even though academic, kind of lowkey hurts Saquon's MVP case imo.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Trash Allen with the gutter ball to Samuel followed by the moonball. :lol Punt, and McLaden not loving it. Need to score here

[Millennial_Messiah]

Honestly looks like the Russell Wilson hailmary vs Green Bay 2012 play. Defender had more of the ball but it's simultaneous and it didn't hit the ground. Even if it gets overruled to interception it's still a five yard penalty on Buffalo good enough for the first down KC, but not near the goal line.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Mahomes don't need no stinkin' tush push. The lateral QB sneak :lol worked in the Super Bowl on 4th down last year in OT, worked in 4th down earlier, worked now for the TD. :toast

[Millennial_Messiah]

That's bad defense at the end of the half. Looked exactly like the Gabriel Davis plays in the playoff game three years ago. The Spagnuolo defense even after all this time, just still hasn't figured out how to stop thirteen on Buffalo.

[Millennial_Messiah]

FUCK!!!!

How does Trashalo keep getting FUCKING LUCKY on every single stinking fumble???? There's literally been 5 of them

Two point conversion disparity have somewhat evened out the fumble luck disparity.

We'll be fine. Just got to get one more stop with this 7 point lead, field goal, chew clock, win this game, send Hochul's shitty whiny babies home for good.

If McDuffie had just gotten his head turned on that 3rd down fade play that's an easy INT.

How do you literally blow coverage like that down near the goal line on 4th down though? Either blitz or play coverage... one or the other.

Also the refs almost fucked KC by calling that Pacheco next to last first down out of bounds when he clearly landed with contact inbounds.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Not gonna lie... Perine getting that first down & no flags felt better than the news calling Pennsylvania & Wisconsin for Trump.


Ding dong the wicked witch (Trash Allen) is dead!!! Spags 4, Trashalo 0.

Refs fuck up everytime, constantly, during games. Winners keep playing and win, loser cry and blame the refs.

Ironically, the Bills are a classy bunch that just play and don't cry. They will eventually break through, imho.

But, if they hadn't converted the second time to Perine, and Buffalo had come back and either won in OT or gotten a miracle TD in regulation, people would be talking (or looking over) that specific play.

That's kind of just a microcosm of how the "rEfS aLwAyS fAvOr Kc" narrative is so fucking stupid, insipid, and retarded.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I was kinda hoping the Lions made it, because that fan base is starved. Oh well.

They're the best and most talented team in the NFL when fully healthy but the problem is with the very physical style of football they play, similar to the 49ers, they're very rarely going to ever be fully healthy come playoff time.

The Eagles got lucky in 2022 and this year with injuries but last year were absolutely decimated. Buffalo has gotten very lucky with injuries especially on offense in this era, but their time is coming, especially the way Allen runs the ball. Take away Allen's monkeyballing and he's an average quarterback, strong arm sure but mediocre accuracy and he's a birdbrain with situational football.

Also, Amari Cooper sucks ass. Always has. Cowboys fans can chuckle about how he was a big part of why Buffalo didn't get into field goal range on that last drive.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I won't be even upset if the Eagles win this time. I like both teams alright.

Also, I don't think I'm going to be a Cowboys fan again for a very long time if ever. They might get eight or nine wins next year if they stay healthy. But honestly, who cares. Anyone except Buffalo... every year until number seventeen leaves or retires.
