I don't feel like wading through this entire thread to see which way the wind is blowing, so I'll just ask: are you, Bills fan, rooting for the Chiefs or the Bengals?

 

I'm rooting for the Bengals. My logic: I don't want the Bills weasling into the playoffs as a six seed, but if the Bengals win, the #2 seed is just a win over the Dolphins away.

 

Bengals. F the Chiefs.

He has been terrible for months 

 

I find it interesting that this is the conclusion a lot of people are drawing, instead of what I think is the obvious conclusion - his poor weapons and average OL give him a very low margin for error. Every missed pass or bad play is magnified tenfold because nobody else on their offense is making plays for him. I'd like to think I'm somewhat of an expert on this topic having watched every snap Josh Allen has ever taken.

Chiefs turn stupid just when we need them to be not stupid.

Chiefs punt returner loss about 15 yards of field position there

Seahawks D is flat today

We get the 2 seed by beating the Dolphins no matter what happens in any other game.

A lot of throws look off to me

Pickens shows the effort Diggs should have had 

 

It's tough to hit a deep pass to a WR with average speed and average catch radius. Very low margin for error on that throw.

Steelers are gonna win. I don't see how it's possible to bring McD back if they make the playoffs over us with their revolving door at QB. 

Let's be honest, there's zero chance McD gets canned

[Tulsabillsfanz]

I’m glad I’m not a Seattle fan.  What a weak defensive team. 

[zow2]

Steelers fans must be pretty irate over wasting a couple games with Trubisky when the answer was in the building.

[stevestojan]

Does just one of the two happening (Chiefs OR Seahawks winning) help us for next weeks odds, or was it all or nothing today? 
 

Literally might be playing for the 2 seed or missing the playoffs next week. Brutal.

I think they were irate whilst it was happening.

I've watched a ton of Chiefs games over the past few years. Mahomes has always had some ball placement issues over the years, that has never been his strength. He just can't get away with it because his pass catchers are giving him zero help. It is the year of the playmaker and a couple AFC contenders are falling awfully short on that front.

no, teams can lose (or tie) next week too, for the Bills to qualify.

Chiefs, of course. Get in the tournament by any means possible. Weasel is a fine mammal.
