Sammy Watkins' Rib

That's different than thinking they are not a threat. They still can win every game. They have championship pedigree. Their problem right now is that they have shown that EVERY game is going to be a dogfight. No easy wins for them. Last year in the playoffs they at least got an easy win against the Dolphins. This version of the Chiefs would be in a 3 pt game vs. that same Dolphins team. Would you honestly be shocked if they lost their first playoff game? They have 11 wins and point differential below 60 I think. You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.

Way they are playing, would not be shocking at all if they finished 2-3 down the stretch. 3-2 seems likely which is probably all the Bills need out of them. If they continue to have a horseshoe up their butts I guess they might finish 4-1. 5-0 seems impossible no matter how much luck they get.

Easily the worst Chiefs team of the Mahomes era and yet they are on pace to finish with the best regular season record in the Mahomes era. That's what doesn't make any sense. It feels like a given that they will lose one more game before the end of the season. But that still puts them at 15-2 and the best team record of the Mahomes era. Surpasing their 14-2 season from 2020. Frustratingly, Bills probably need them to lose two more before the end of the season. They look like a team that legit can lose every game but just don't. Their +/- has to be historically bad for a one loss team. Maybe even for a two loss team.

That was reported after my post.

agreed. If he does play, I think he has a performance similar to the disaster of a game he had against Baltimore last year. Especially if Trent Williams does not suit up again.

He is throwing a couple of 10 air yard passes in drills with the other QB’s. I still don’t think he plays. We will see.

I have a weird feeling that if these two teams do meet in the Super Bowl it will be the team that losses the regular season game that wins the Super Bowl.

I'll play along. Well as host of this make believe radio show I'd say the Lovie Smith reference is totally out of left field and doesn't have much relevance. The Lovie Smith situation referenced was what 12 years ago? And even more puzzling is the fact that it was with a completely different franchise. I'm not seeing the connection. Also, for what's it worth, Lovie has a combined record of 11 -37 in the three seasons as HC since being fired by the Bears. Smith was coach of the Bears for 9 seasons that's actually a pretty long run for a coach who never delivered a title for the team. McDermott is in his 8th year with the Bills and many have been calling for his ousting the last 2 seasons. Daboll is only in his 3rd year I believe with the Giants.

Boy, I'm not sure what I would do if I were Woody and my crack team of detectives in Tannebaum and Spielman came back to me and their #1 suggestion was selling the team to Bezos.

Honestly, if Purdy doesn’t go I think we could see a lot of key players sitting for the 49ers. Their schedule to finish is not exactly tough outside of a home game against the Lions that is still over a month out. They get healthy after this week and finish 4-1 they could win the division at 9-8 depending on tiebreakers and a loss to the Bills probably doesn’t factor into losing a tie breaker if every other team in the division has also lost to the Bills.

Rapp has been playing at an elite level IMO.

They are referencing the Bucs overtime game. That was one of the two December losses.

They do?

You had me until Dolphins win in GB.

Oh. you didn’t hear? The race is over. They are giving it to Saquan.

Chargers. Really too early still do think about seeding scenarios. So much can change still. Chargers still have a shot at the division if they keep winning. And always enjoyable watching the Ravens lose.

What is the latest they can flex Thursday night? This is four weeks out still. Better than announcing two or three weeks out.

Same as #2 tight end.

I don't love that Bernard doesn't seem to realize that the Chiefs might still be running a play even as Mahomes is walking off the field. Hope he has more awareness if the Chiefs try that again.

At the very least I want the Chiefs to have to battle week 18 @ Denver to maintain the top seed. Most years they rest players for most of the week 18 game.

7 out of their 9 wins were by one score or less. They can lose to anyone on their schedule, save maybe the Panthers. At this point I would be surprised if they finish with only one more loss down the stretch. 5-2 finish for them would be a good finish. 6-1 or better seems unlikely.

We might actually be sleeping on the Colts a bit. Of their six losses, they were all by one score or less except for the Bills game. Three of their six losses were 3 points or less.

Exact order I would have as well but I would probably move Miami all the way to #1. Have to give benefit of any doubt to the Bills overall record against this version of Miami even if some of the games have been close. Chargers are absolutely the team I would not want to see. I just want to win the next three and then we can really start to discuss potential divisional round match ups.

I was thinking the same but right now it's just too early to know where things will end up. It's one big mess. Even the Chargers suddenly look like a team that could win the West which would throw a huge wrench into seeding. They have two huge games left @ Ravens and @ Chiefs. If they can win both it probably locks them into 5 seed at worst and they have a shot at the Division as well. For as scary as the Ravens are on paper, they have found a way to lose 4 games this year with still six to go, and they have Chargers, Steelers, Eagles, Texans left to play. 4-2 finish for them seems likely. 5-1 finish would be a strong finish for them. Puts them at 12-5 for the year. Might not be enough to win the division.

and somehow, with billions of dollars, which is quite scary.
