Extra rest... the game in two weeks is inconsquential. It's the TIME involved... nobody wants to see receivers drop balls or be ineffective over a bum knee and possibly hurt themself much worse by overcompensating.

 

So, question for this - for both teams and everyone to answer. Maybe more so for the Chiefs to answer...

 

It's 4th quarter and 6 min left. Both teams have had a few players banged up and taken out of the game. Maybe a starting DL or RB and a DB. The other team is up 10 points. Do you go ahead and not throttle it to avoid injury?

 

I would If I'm the chiefs down 10 with little time to go without Butler, too. Also assuming this is a low scoring game (winner gets 24 pts, chiefs haven't allowed 24 pts since the eagles super bowl).

Both teams are not going to go all out. Both teams will hold something back. 

 

Obviously you want to win but again it's just for seeding. It's also two teams that have nothing to really prove to each other. 

 

It's going to come down to who wins in January

Really?  It sure looked like KC and Baltimore were not holding back in that opener. Why would the Bills and Chiefs not go all out this week?  They have played each other like 7 times in the past 5 years. What exactly will they be holding back that they haven’t already seen?

Because it's just a preamble or something to that effect. 

 

The seeding is important but buffalo has been down this road a million times. 

 

What buffalo hasn't been is fully healthy in a playoff run. The closest was 21 and the 13 seconds game. Even then we lost our all pro CB. 

 

What matters is ending the chiefs dynasty in Jan. Not now.

 

All that being said I think buffalo is the best team in the NFL and it's going to get ugly for KC

Baltimore struggles in a major way vs KC too. It's a different history, and different context 

 

Buffalo and KC are mirrors to each other with the only separation being one has rings, the other doesn't. That's it

Your response says nothing about what you think these teams will be holding back from each other. 
 

That’s because it’s a fan-created narrative that doesn’t hold for the players and teams involved. There may be less pressure on the teams because the cost of losing isn’t that significant for the Bills, but I guarantee the Chiefs would love to be the first team to go undefeated AND win three rings in a row. KC is looking to establish history.

I agree. I just think the psychology is different compared to in January 

 

But like I said I think buffalo is going to beat KC pretty soundly. It's going to get ugly for KC.

Wgr caller. I can’t do it justice. She said the Bills need to turn their season around (they’re 8-2)

There’s an insane unsolved mystery around “Who is Judy?” in Twin Peaks season three so I’m just glad this isn’t a reference to that.

Expect flags to be thrown every time Bills D stops the Chiefs on 3rd and 4th downs.

Which Bills team is the 24 Bills most similar to assuming we win the super bowl?

 

1996 Packers 

1990 buffalo bills 

1976 raiders

2010 Packers

2018 Patriots 

2022 chiefs

2023 chiefs

2011 Giants 

2008 Steelers 

2015 broncos 

1987 Washington 

1988 49ers

2006 colts

1974 Steelers 

1977 cowboys 

 

I personally see the 1996 Packers and 08 Steelers

Is there anyone that kind of doesn't want to win...? I said kind of....

 

If the bills win the media narrative will be how "buffalo can beat Kansas city in the regular season but not when it really counts in the playoffs". Also if they win they will fight their hardest for the one seed potentially getting players injured along the way.

 

Very unique scenario where losing this game doesn't feel like that big of a deal. If anything id rather have kansas city undefeated in the playoffs with all the pressure In the world.

I don't think the narrative matters. I think buffalo is better and that will be abundantly clear Sunday at 7pm. 

 

The media can ignore it but it will be obvious

I just hope some of us can enjpy this game for what it should be - and we can all avoid refs, announcers glazing the players, and injuries. Just a good principled game where is fair.

I got a feeling in this atmosphere, we might get some of that Chiefs treatment for once. Maybe the refs give one back here and give KC a taste of their own medicine. I can see Mahomes and Kelce crying like babies as we get a few home calls for a change.

So you’re predicting Cooper and Brown don’t play?
