He's also been missing two huge weapons for 1.5 of those games in CJ and FJ.

Lmao

I had us winning this game prior to season so no point in changing now. Chiefs 13 Bills 17 Ugly defensive game.

Im really liking it.

The DUDE

Who?

Im really liking what Orton has done for us this yr but i would wait to sign him to an extension.

I agree man. I'm in the eastern time zone and that 9:30am start was fantastic - had football all day long.

AWESOME!

there are multiple threads already

If you're making the minimum of +$400K/yr I think you can afford to go on a trip to London in March or April without having to rely on the London game vs. Jax to get there. It would be like an UFA choosing a team based on its uniform colors.

Sammy not practicing Thursday per Joe B

Man Orton is going to love London's pubs. Can't wait!

A reputable book is about as good as a reputable drug dealer. Ive used pinnacle before and also betus. Betus used to be better than it is now (from what ive read bc i stopped using them a while ago so no first-hand horror stories). That being said, lets be real w this silly "bet". How about we just see where the line goes and say you were right/wrong after the fact. Lol

I kinda agree. NFL is mimicking current society: zero attention span; zero patience.

NFL: Where QB's may become starters, but "Not For Long".

On betus.com sportsbook it's already at +3. How much do you want to wager again?

It will continue to move to about +3.5 IMO.

What scares me about their defense is that they're 3rd in the NFL in sacks, only 1 behind us. Hopefully our O-line steps up. Orton will no doubt get sacked this game - hopefully none of them are strip sacks. LMFAO. I can't stop laughing at that gif. You should just use that as a reply for all chiefs threads.

I remember reading that article at one point. It's a great article and well reasoned. I don't think you can just say "facts are facts" and leave it there. The way that "study" was done is not concrete as it relies on a team's final record at the end of the season and then goes back at the w/l's to determine what a "trap game" actually was. Such a strategy completely removes ebbs/flows and momentum that naturally occur within a season by simply looking at the final product - these ebbs/flows and momentum within a season are the very ESSENCE of what a trap game is. For example: Right now the Chiefs are 5-3. Right now they're an above .500 team. Right now they're a "good" team. According to many, they're fully expected to win this game vs. an "inferior" Bills team. But what if the Chiefs lose vs. the Bills? What if that kills some of their momentum and then going into the seattle game that loss gets compounded by another loss. In a heartbeat the Chiefs are 5-5. What if ultimately the Chiefs finish 7-9 in the season. In that scenario, the Chiefs wouldn't have even been considered in this study as an above .500 team despite the fact that in week 10, they were a "good" team and fully expected to win. The "facts" in that article are highly debatable.

You sir are awesome.

haha..no worries. I don't know, I don't have any hard evidence to back it up but I feel that anecdotally I constantly see teams fail to perform at their optimum level prior to a big match up the following week, especially when they're playing what is perceived to be a weaker team the week prior - hence the term "trap game" which has been around for quite a while. I understand that players prepare and practice for every week, but at the end of the day they're human and not robots. When I played sports in high school and somewhat throughout college, I always knew when our big game was coming up and sometimes that 2% of your body/brain that wasn't 100% focused on this week's matchup was the difference between a victory and a loss - especially in the NFL where the talent is essentially even across the board for the most part. I don't think coaches ever look past an opponent but I really feel sometimes players do.
