If only the Bills receivers could catch… Surprised SF is the favorite. The KC playoff rendition has been an entirely different and focused animal.

I feel bad for the Lions fans. I think they would’ve had a better chance at beating KC, but Mahomes has never been swept. I can’t see Brock Purdy and the 9ers with that underachieving defense beating the Chiefs.

Never under any circumstances root for the Evil Empire 2.0!

Look at the bright side, guys, no team has ever won 3 Super Bowls in a row.

KC in the Super Bowl again. Yay. /sarcasm

Maybe KC declines an offside in that situation? The personal foul guarantees they’d take it.

That’s a good penalty.

Cheating pick plays

The amount of pressure the Chiefs are getting on Lamar is surprising.

That guy wearing #15 helps mask many of the Chiefs personnel errors.

😂

Chris Jones may not have any playoff sacks, but he’s always making some sort of play at the right time.

I want Purdy to beat the Chiefs just to spite Nick Wrong.

KC offensive line has been suspect all year on the edges. Not so in the playoffs somehow. They’re like a wall. I feel like the team is playing far above their talent on offense.

Hopefully BAL doesn’t start pressing, making things worse. How many NBA legends would have rings if not for Michael Jordan? I feel we’re witnessing the same. Allen would have a trophy now if not for Mahomes.

I thought it would’ve been tough against the Ravens because their offense was more explosive than KC and defense was just as good if not better… looking like I was very wrong. The regular season KC offense has been nothing like the playoff KC offense.

Juggernaut KC offense I guess

I think how the INTs came (tipped, directly to a defender, etc) would matter, BUT when you’ve got MVPs,Super Bowl rings, Super Bowl MVPs, and first team all pro designations, you can get away with a lot more. When you have none of that you’re more highly scrutinized.

Remember, it’s not about where a player is taken, but rather who it is. Detroit’s impact receiver Amon-Ra St Brown went in the 4th. The 49ers Deebo Samuel? He went in that second round you worry about. There’s so much luck involved with these picks, a guy could pass every single test, athleticism, size, productive college career, and then can get to the pros and be a dud. By all accounts, it looks like Marvin Harrison Jr will be a beast at the next level, but for every Calvin Johnson, a Charles Rogers lurks 😅 I won’t get too hung up on where Beane takes a receiver within those first 5 rounds as long as he takes two of them. Preferably higher since the chances of hitting are greater, but I won’t worry one way or another. Let’s see what happens when they step on the field.

As a GM, the only trade up I would do (in general) is for a QB. Maaaybe I would trade up for an athletic freak at DE, but all other positions? It’s proven they can be had anywhere in the draft, just gotta hit on the right guy and get lucky. We traded up for Elam when much better corners went later. Traded up for Kincaid (hated it at the time) and although that pick worked out, another player was drafted later who is at least on par with him. Traded up for Edmunds when Darius/Shaquille Leonard and Fred Warner were still on the board and in Warner’s case went much later. The draft is a lottery and if I were a GM, I’d try to stockpile the most 1-5th round picks I possibly could year after year. I’m not sacrificing those to move up, because in doing so I’d be sacrificing the chance to hit on a guy who could be a steal.

Do NOT trade up. Whoever we take, I can just about guarantee a guy will go later who will be just as good or better. Happens every draft.

He’s a roster spot we don’t necessarily need. If he was an offensive threat in some way, blocked like Sam Gash or had hands like Larry Centers, okay. But he doesn’t really move the needle in one way or another.

He was in fact clinically dead on the field. I’m not sure what his future (career) holds, but I’m happy he’s resumed a completely normal life.

I felt that Brandon Beane coming out and saying “Diggs is a number one receiver,” in his season ending presser was curious. He no doubt hears the chatter and I believe knows he’s gotta get a guy who strikes fear in the opponent. Diggs is great, but I don’t think any of these teams fear him. Even the Chiefs were puffing out their chest saying “he knew what was up” when Sneed locked him up. We’ll have to hit on a guy, a future number one who plays like it right out of the gate.

Yeah Von was a force before the injury, but it’s always a “what have you done for me lately?” league. Von would’ve got my vote easily if his play hadn’t fallen off a cliff this year.
