Kelce went off in the playoffs because Buffalo was without Benard, Milano, Rapp, Douglas.  Dodson played through an ankle injury. That was the difference in the game. 

 

Correct idea, but Douglas was playing with a bum ankle, Benford was not playing (Dane Jackson played 100% of the snaps), and Dodson was playing next to AJ Klein with a wrecked shoulder in a brace.  Gabe Davis was also out.

Losing Benford and Bernard vs the Steelers was the last straw. Those two are incredibly dynamic

The two teams that spend the most time within these “close situation” parameters have the most penalties against? Really? That’s not insight.

 

the Chiefs have spent about 234 out of a possible 310 minutes within these parameters. That’s a relatively high ratio. The Colts as well (they’ve played like one game that didn’t end as a one-score game). Since this is a Bills board I’ll use them as an example: they’ve played about 166 minutes out of a possible 330 within the parameters (since the article uses only second half minutes, that’s close to two and a half games less that Kansas City).

 

Teams that generally play tight games will, generally, have more total flags against them in tight game situations than do teams that play within these situations less often. That article chose to write a narrative in search of a stat. They did it backwards.

 

Lol. And there it is. You guys really want to believe the conspiracy theory. 

 

If KC consistently benefited disproportionately from calls/no-calls in these situations, as we're told, they wouldn't be #1 in this stat. It's okay to admit the league isn't fixing games for the Chiefs.

That’s a worthless stat. You use the word “disproportionate”, but that’s not even a proportionate stat.

As worthless as the biased opinions of armchair refs? 

 

There are no stats that support the narrative.

That may be true.

 

But the stat in that article doesn’t prove what the author seems to think it does.

 

you used the correct word.  But there is no “proportionate” representation in the author’s analysis. He uses only raw quantities, and falls on his face.

The "crippled" talk doesn't mesh with your fans' predictions before the game (which you can see in the thread I linked). Why were so many predicting a crippled team to win by 10-30 points?

 

Supposing the Bills were crippled by injury...what's that got to do with the other 14 postseason games they've won the past six years? Were those teams all crippled? 

 

Mahomes has played in 18 postseason games. He's trailed at the end of regulation exactly once. I think you can safely assume he/they will perform at a high level. 

 

 

 

Its called having hope for your team. We watched the drought years for almost 2 decades. We still watched every week with some hope. Were people just supposed to say "nah we are gonna get creamed" and not bother watching?  Stop being so entitled. You'll lose eventually. I think you fans are probably more complacent then your team because you are just used to it. Not saying I wouldn't be the same way but just sayin.

Heh, smirk. As worthless as that one pass in 2023? Clearly Buffalo doesn’t understand the meaning of pass efficiency guffaw snort - every Saul Goodman post

 

Ignore this sad lost circular argument moron

There isn't complacency among the fans. When the rest of the NFL community is itching to throw dirt on you and fabricating narratives to discredit or downplay every success, you don't get complacent. It keeps you hungry. 

 

I wouldn't expect a lot of predictions of a Chiefs win here. What I would expect is predictions of a tight game, rather than a 3-4 score beatdown. If they truly believed the team was crippled by injury, that is.

The refs will favor KC and they're still losing by 30 in the AFC championship in Buffalo.
