The Chiefs were better last year. Doesn't matter that their record is better this year. Their point differential was much better, their offense was much better, and their defense was similar. It isn't the same this year. I don't think they will escape the Divisional this year. Ravens and Bills are playing better. A team like the Steelers or Texans could knock them off for sure (we'll see soon they play both of those teams in the next month).

I strongly believe the Chiefs will lose 2 more games this year. It's up to the Bills to only lose 1 more game. The difference between now and earlier in the season is that their defense is fading. The Raiders have the #28 offense, and the Panthers have the #31 offense. They gave up ~140 yards more than the Raiders season average today, and relied on 3 missed FGs (really 4 if you count that last abomination). Their defense has been totally mediocre the past 3 weeks. If that is a trend and not just a temporary dip, then they are in trouble against better teams.

That’s fine and good, but they have largely not beaten teams on the fundamentals all year. They have relied on flukey BS like pass interference on 4th and a mile, a center snapping the ball when he shouldn’t, or blocking a chip shot would-be game winning FG. If the roles were reversed I would be calling the Bills frauds.

I think we all know that kicker was going to miss anyway. 3 misses on the day already from around there.

Nope, sadly

O’Connell has area code accuracy

Yea, clearly a set play. Perine had his hands up for the lateral well before Kelce looked back for him.

Can you slide in the pocket? I don’t think so…

It was wayyy off target.

I can't really imagine the Raiders winning today, but I also couldn't imagine the Chiefs needing a walk off FG to beat the Panthers, so...

I wouldn't be surprised if Mara was very influential in that ridiculous 4 year extension of Jones. It made no sense at the time, and I doubt a GM would make that deal without ownership meddling.

I think Daboll's only chance is if the owner has been meddling with roster decisions and doesn't hold the results against Daboll/Schoen. For example, if the owner said sign Daniel Jones to a contract no matter what, their hands would have been kind of tied.

At least throw it up for grabs Tua. It’s the game and pretty much the season the line my guy.

GB just has to get a FG once more, and not give up any big TD plays and it is over. They just need to force Miami to drive the entire field and put up another score.

Left handed quarterbacks shouldn’t be allowed. It’s unnatural.

Tua always seems to die on primetime. I’m genuinely concerned for his health.

Love is fun to watch, but kind of reckless.

I kind of wonder if that was an intentional 12 man penalty to get back to 1st and 10.

Not too sure about that one...I guess he did the hand on the hip thing.

Their weakness is pass defense, and apparently the Chargers can't pass downfield at all.

Running Lamar up 2 TDs with 3 minutes left. Not too sure about that choice...

That whole drive was whack. Just bomb after bomb, when they had time to have a semi-normal scoring drive. I'm sure the Ravens would have been in pseudo-prevent and allowed the Chargers to march down the field and eat some clock. I'm not too sure about this Greg Roman guy.

Ravens pass catchers having a great game. I'm not sure they've not caught a target that was within arm's reach.

This is the first season where I actually see Lamar throwing with anticipation, so he's definitely improved as a passer. It's his best passing season yet. But even still, most of his great plays are a dump offs with YAC, tossing up a contested ball, or throwing to someone wide open. That is why his turnovers are so low, he almost never throws into a tight window or where there is any chance of danger. Probably part good decision making, and part scheme. It just looks totally foreign compared to how other teams play it's hard to compare QB performance IMO.

I guess I see maybe what the initial ref saw. The ball moved a little bit with his butt out of bounds, but not quite enough to be considered a bobble probably.
