We didn't expose anything. We won a good football game! Both teams were missing key players. Picheko being out is a huge loss for them, and Kincaid/Coleman on our side is just as bad. I bet we see them again this year.

Steelers and Baltimore look tough. And don't laugh... but here comes Miami. They will get a wildcard.

 

Yes, Miami has such a track record of playing well in December, too.

I think yesterday two really good teams played each other and one team was just a tiny bit better. Bills exposed nothing. 

 

Going up two scores and keeping the ball away from him is the right call. Ya’ll saw how he just drove down the field in the 4th quarter to make it 23-21. You do not let Mahomes have the ball last if it’s a one possession game, ever.

The chiefs aren't going to implode. They're extremely competitive. 

Also extremely flawed , could easily have 4 losses, but if/when they get Rice and Pacheco back, their O should look much better

Rice is very very likely not coming back this year and will likely be serving a somewhat lengthy suspension once he’s healthy enough to play 

 

Reid said he’s expecting a recovery time similar to a torn acl

Losing Brown, Rice, Pacheco, and Watson has really hurt KC. Especially Watson. Their secondary is more vulnerable without him there.

Respectfully, as long as Patrick Mahomes it the quarterback and Andy Reid is the head coach, I don't expect the Chiefs to ever be "exposed" or to be anything other than championship contenders.

The Chiefs -- who, mind you, are likely to have Hollywood Brown and Isiah Pacheco back in the playoffs -- were one 4th and 2 stop away from having a short field to drive for a game winning field goal attempt.

I don't particularly think the Bills exposed anything yesterday. I think their all-world QB just made an all-world play, and had he not done so, the Bills might be 8-3 this morning.

Its lookin somewhat doubtful brown returns and if he does he won’t be at 100% game speed I wouldn’t think.  Schefter reported he’s expected to miss the regular season and Reid’s only real update was ‘he’s on schedule or maybe a little ahead’. If he miraculously returns very soon I think he’d have an impact going into the playoffs but that’s not lookin like the case

Agreed: nothing exposed here that we didn’t already know. In short, they both were who we thought they were. When these two teams meet you expect multiple lead changes , good defense, a couple turnovers and the QB that has the ball last will likely win the game. McD knew kicking a FG to go up 5 while giving the ball back to Mahomes was a recipe for a loss. You may do that with many other QBs, but not him. You have Josh Allen- let him go get a W. I was surprised that wasn’t the gameplan at the end of last years divisional playoff. Thought for sure we’d get some Josh runs with an option to pass. Sean wasn’t making that mistake again.

The Bills, in their overtime loss last season, exposed the Eagles who had a 9-1 mark going into that game. After that, Eagles finished 1-5 and quickly exited the playoffs. The Eagles record had disguised their flaws, it was said. The 2023 Eagles reached a record of 9-1 with a points differential of 61. The Chiefs have managed to reach a 9-1 record with a points differential of 49...historically low for a 9-1 team. The Washington Post's Adam Kilgore has already identified the parallel between the 23 Eagles and 24 Chiefs.

 

In KC's last seven games, three are divisional matchups. Four of those seven are on the road including visits to the Browns, Steelers and Broncos. The Chargers will catch the Chiefs and KC may well lose in the wild card..to a Chargers or Steelers team. So, like in 2023, the Bills have exposed a frontrunner that will stumble down the stretch. I think 30-21 was the playoff game this season. 

 

last year the eagles were 8-3 in one score games , this year they are 5-1

 

with the chiefs…all of their games were one score games late 3rdQ or later.

 

over the years you e had teams be on the bad end of one score games. With most teams they are around 500 like 6-4/or 3-4. Thrn you have teams that have nifference of 3+ between W and L

 

a fee irr all…a few years the Vikings for most of the year had wild one score games thst they tended to be on the short end,  Russell Wilson broncos in his first year was like this as have the chargers have had close seasons.

I think any resemblance between the Mahomes led, Reid coached Chiefs and last year's Hurts led, Sirianni coached Eagles is kind of coincidental.  

Part of it is the "DNA" (or the culture) of the team. 

Mahomes is "the Man", with a track record of coming up big in the biggest moments (sometimes with a little help from his zebra friends but).  The Chiefs are rolling towards a 12 year stretch of winning records and a 10 year stretch of playoffs under Reid and 5 out of 6 years top-10 defenses under Spagnuolo.

 

It's a little harder to derail that than it is to derail the Eagles, who change DCs like an influencer changes skirts.

Brown and rice definitely but those guys aren’t coming back 100% game ready this year even if they do make it back which seems unlikely.  I think the fallout from the passing game not being as good is gonna cut into Pachecos effectiveness too  
 

Watson feels kind of like a retroactive excuse on behalf of the kc media haha I really don’t think he’s night and day better than Chamarri conner..  that’s not really close to the bills being down Spencer brown/matt Milano/kincaid imo or playing with freakin aj klein at mlb in the playoff game 😂. Mcduffie probably has to move outside more to make up for sneed being gone which seems like it’s more of the issue and doesn’t have much to do with injury.  I think cooper kind of forced mcduffie out of the slot in this one have to rewatch though

You may be right about Watson. It does seem like their secondary has been more susceptible since he’s been out. Could be coincidence. 
 

Yeah I doubt Brown or Rice makes it back. This could be the year for a new AFC representative in the big game. 🤞
