Idk there were competing stats in this particular one…idk what teams records are when they give up a blocked punt td but they’ve gotta be pretty bad. And a blocked punt td probably should go down as a turnover which would make what I’m assuming 254-0 is referring to not apply. Really was no different than a pick/fumble 6 game flow wise. 13 seconds was definitely really bad but it isn’t unprecedented. we hit a humongous play to walk off fg the lions with very little time remaining last time we met. There were 23 seconds left instead of 13 but the play getting us into ‘used to be good Tyler bass range’ 🤣 only took about 7. Just one specific example but there’s a bunch. The Minneapolis miracle for example was much worse than 13 seconds I wonder if saints fans talk about that one as much as we talk about 13 seconds haha

I doubt the Texans beat the 5 seed but you never know. Yea I think you can make the case for wanting to avoid Baltimore and pit because the bills seem so focused roster construction wise on matching up with the chiefs that those two aren’t good matchups. It doesn’t seem like there’s any way we can avoid Baltimore and pit though anyway so I feel like best scenario is send Baltimore to kc for the divisional and give us the Steelers at home. there’s a chance pit and Baltimore flip flop in the division standings then we get Baltimore round 2 instead of pit. Is that better for us? I’m not entirely sure but it scares me more lol if we fall to the 3 it’s probably the same choice but we’re on the road instead of at home Yea it would be pretty tough to apply any asterisks to this Super Bowl if they won it lol. Last year I think a few teams caught them roster wise but they were freakishly healthy come playoff time injury wise which evened things out. This year I’m not sure that’s gonna be the case

I think that’s pretty debatable either way…I wouldn’t have him there but you could make the case for it too. I think I and maybe the mvp voters too see it as he is good but has benefited greatly from being on a few stacked offenses but we could all be proven wrong the rest of the way for sure lol. this won’t factor into the mvp discussion at all of course but I don’t think there’s any way McVay gives him and a bunch of future assets up for Stafford if he truly saw goff as a top 10 qb talent wise and idk if there’s a guy I trust more to evaluate offensive talent McVay probably saw him as just outside top 10 and just didn’t have the elite traits to finish a playoff run

Oh yea the Steelers are good but there really aren’t gonna be any easy games at that point. They’re a better option than someone lesser like the chargers upsetting pit then kc gets an easier game and we get stuck with Baltimore round 2 of course that’s under the assumption that pit holds onto the division though haha they may not

This playoff path is starting to make me feel like that bengals team that went to the Super Bowl. Looks like there’s a good shot kc will knock out the team we match up with the worst for us then I think we match up pretty well with kc. If we had to go Baltimore then kc I would not like our chances but we may not have to

If he loses out to Goff I’ll be so mad haha but what you’ve outlined definitely makes sense. Barkley would not make me as mad 😂 if mvp was actually what it was supposed to be I don’t see how Goff could even be in consideration.. I think you could plug any pretty good veteran in his spot and they’d do the same thing

Yea I can’t disagree with the second paragraph. I wouldn’t try to argue we’re the best roster. still think we match up well with kc though and im more worried about some other teams ironically enough 🤣. If things stay where they’re at seeding wise the afc run is about as favorable as it could be. Baltimore goes to kc and probably gets knocked out then we get pit then kc. Wouldn’t be too shocked if we got to the Super Bowl and lost as it stands now which is why a win over the lions would be so huge optics wise Lucks a huge factor…could screw you over when you have the best team and bail you out when you don’t. a hypothetical team way better than the rest of the playoff field that’s got an 80/20 win probability in each game still is just a coin flip to go on a Super Bowl run which is crazy to think about

I was just saying this in some other thread but I feel like the difference between the 1 and 2 seed superbowl probability wise is probably smaller than ever with Baltimore somehow being a wildcard team right now if our coaching staff thinks it’s that important to have a warmed up Matt Milano for the playoffs it makes more sense than ever to do so. Dare I say I think you could make the case the 2 is the nicer spot for Buffalo if you knew for sure Baltimore is the worst seed making it out of the wildcard round. Of course that’s no guarantee though

I bet he’s wishing he took more risks in the first half running but I’m pretty happy he didn’t injury avoidance wise. Playoff josh probably wins that game even if LA plays just as well on offense

Baltimore being a wc team right now is so flippin weird haha I don’t entirely know if I’d want to be the 1 seed as crazy as that is. if I was kc or buffalo id want Baltimore going for a visit to my arch rival in the divisional so 2 seed seems like the sweet spot. I don’t think 3 is super bad either but 4 is awful

Seems like the only active head coaches that have beaten playoff mahomes are mediocre at best but have coached absolutely stacked teams so we should be right on schedule in the coaching department if you don’t like mcd 🤣. Guys that actually know what they’re doing like Shanahan or Harbaugh never win lol in all seriousness though, every bills chiefs game is played under playoff conditions and most of them could go either way…it’s straight up chance/small sample size that the regular season vs playoff split is what it is imo.

sitting and learning behind Alex smith on a pretty well sorted team was such an easier road than getting thrown to the wolves your rookie season. I get a good chuckle every time ‘but mahomes sat his rookie year!’ is used as something he had to overcome lol

I think it’ll take a ton for Goff to get it…he seems to be a victim of the ‘horrible primetime game’ rule based on the current odds lol

It’s the knee jerk reaction from the rams game mostly…which didn’t even look like we treated it like a playoff game anyway tbh. Josh had opportunities to run in the first half and prioritized his health and trusted the defense to get some stops (probably shouldn’t have done that second thing 😂) Milano would’ve gotten pulled for Williams in a playoff game too I’d think but we seem to be prioritizing trying to get Milano up to speed for the playoffs. Kincaid and Coleman likely would’ve both played through injury if that was a playoff game too I don’t even think we lose to Stafford/nacua’s best shot if we played that game under playoff conditions

McVay is credited with continuing the Shanahan offensive principles but McDaniel isn’t? lol I’d love orlovsky to explain that one to me Idk if a rushing yardage record would move the needle much but the rushing td definitely would which he’s not gonna touch. especially with Josh likely breaking his own 40TD consecutive season record

I have never laughed at a Tomlin late game decision I don’t think and the list of coaches I haven’t laughed at is very very short lol

I like how the bills lose credit for the mediocre/pretty good dolphins being in their division yet the only think keeping the dolphins stuck in the pretty good category is the bills beating them twice basically every year 🤣 nobody is happy with just making the playoffs…this team has been right there with the best team in the conference in the playoffs more often than not and beating them in the regular season pretty often. I’m sure some people think that luck will change and some don’t. If we were making the playoffs and getting blown out by cincy every year nobody would be happy lol

Bucs and eagles games on that list were utter screw jobs that I don’t think I’ll ever get over lol Diggs got straight up tackled in the end zone while the game winning td throw was in the air against the Bucs

The nfl playoffs have a ton of luck involved…just gotta be the best seed you can for as long as you can. most important thing is staying healthy then anything can happen. We’ve had our share of coaching blunders but injuries come playoff time have made the margin of error tiny. im not reading into the rams game TOO much…i think we would’ve had a lot more first half josh heroics if that was a playoff game and Milano likely gets benched for Williams. Who knows how big a difference that would’ve made though

Well yea if he’s playing well enough to win superbowls that’s true. I’ve got a feeling their luck is gonna run out though until they sort out that offensive tackle situation

Haha how many people know football though? 😂

Chiefs gotta get that offense sorted or mahomes is falling out of the best ever convo pretty quickly imo. Rice will probably be suspended for a chunk of next year so idk how much better things are gonna get short term

Nothing irritates me more than people talking about Reid like he’s been some kind of game management genius his whole career haha heck he should’ve blown that raiders game with that 4th and 2 incomplete pass just a couple weeks ago and got bailed out by dumb luck 🤣

He schemes guys wide open pretty often and we oftentimes blow it with terrible execution when it happens so Josh is forced to do something miraculous 🤣. Josh is obviously a bigger part of the success but both guys are helping the team I don’t think these teams showing interest in Brady are solely basing it on stat sheets haha

I think we just need to avoid the 4 at all costs haha anything else is manageable. Baltimore beating the 4 and then going up against kc and one of them having to lose is a pretty nice situation. That’s kind of what happened to baltimores benefit with Buffalo playing kc last year. this is gonna sound crazy but idk if I’d be too upset if kc makes it out of that one. I know they’ve been our season ender 3 times now but it just feels like we built this roster specifically with them in mind and don’t match up quite as well with Baltimore.
