Fitz - If you feel good about the Chiefs, you’re in denial

[djp14150]

Recap their season…

 

baltimore— last play of game TD missed by a hair to tie on XP or W if thry go forv2

 

cincunati-  late game PI sets thrm up for a %51 clock expiring FG

 

Atlanta - 3rd and 4th and 1 at KC 13 with a minute to go needing a YD and failed

 

Chargers — tied 4th. KC TD with 6 to go. Chargers punted,kc held ball

 

saints — down 16-13 early 4th . KC scored 10.

 

49ers — early 4th SF down 21-12 have ball1st and goal and throw a pick.

 

Raiders — kc throws a pick, 1st and goal inside 5 down 17-13 , they failed on downs late 3rd. KC gets a FG postvtutnover, raiders turn it over down 7 with about 6 left

 

Tampa bay — OT win, TB score a late TD and should have gone for 2 and win.

 

Broncos — blocked FG st end of game for win

 

Bills — they lost

 

Carolina — lAs play FG to win by3.

 

Raiders — in FG range but a botched play gifts chiefs the win

 

next games…..

 

Chargers

at browns — Cleveland beat both PIT and BAL at home this year. This isn’t a walk over 

Texans

at Steelers

at Broncos 

 

 

given the way the last 5 games look this screams the eagles dropping after 10-1.

 

if you look at teams one score games. Most teams are around 500 or a game away like 4-2 or 3-5 . Teams outside thst are outliers.

So why are Cowboys fans so miserable?

Unrealistic expectations. Also, Dallas is the lamest city in Texas.

Once a dynasty is established, either people love them or hate them. At this point is a bit funny that folks get caught up in the Chiefs not winning well enough. But like them or not, the Chiefs find a way to beat lesser teams. Their fortunes changed here. That tells me we can do it again in the playoffs. Their close games also make the case that if a team plays the perfect game, the Chiefs will fall again.

Too bad it’s not more like what college football used to be, where you could win but still lose in the standings—because style points were everything! 😁

I haven't seen or known one person who said that.  We learned our lesson last year.  What's a little different this year is their defense isn't as good.  The pass rush isn't what is was last year and losing Sneed and Ward definitely stresses their pass defense.  If you ignored the name and history of this specific team though and just looked at the metrics we'd call them a fraudulent 11-1 team. 

There are posts in this thread that says they’re fraudulent and would be 1 and done in the playoffs. So yes there are people that think they’re not a threat.

I’ve said it for 4 weeks now, KC will lose in the first round, even at home, and the Bills will not see them again until next season.

I know this is about Chiefs not being as good as in the past and I agree with that. Offensive line is bad (yesterday one of the announcers said they need to sign some tackles, like there are some good ones just hanging around) and their defense is suspect. But can someone explain that penalty to me? I’ve been watching football for a long time, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that.

Easily the worst Chiefs team of the Mahomes era and yet they are on pace to finish with the best regular season record in the Mahomes era. That's what doesn't make any sense. It feels like a given that they will lose one more game before the end of the season. But that still puts them at 15-2 and the best team record of the Mahomes era. Surpasing their 14-2 season from 2020. 

 

Frustratingly, Bills probably need them to lose two more before the end of the season. They look like a team that legit can lose every game but just don't. Their +/- has to be historically bad for a one loss team. Maybe even for a two loss team.

The Chiefs have it all on their side . Not only do they have talent but they have luck too ! It's going to take the Bills playing their best mistake free or at the very best a game with the least amount of mistakes as they can play & have a little bit of luck on their side to beat them .

 

I believe McD & company have learned from past mistakes and have become the better of the two teams the only thing they do have now is much more experience on their coaching staffs when it comes to coordinators but there is always the new guy on the block and lets hope McD & this team can make it happen ! 

 

I Billeve this is the year !! GO BILLS !!!!

which makes our only win against a playoff team (them) mean exactly what about the 2024 Bills

It's why the Bills went for it on fourth and two rather than kick a FG to go up by 5.   Any lead less than 9 points late in the game, especially after the two minute warning, opens the door for the Chiefs to win or at least tie on a last second FG or TD.  They have that mastered.

Way they are playing, would not be shocking at all if they finished 2-3 down the stretch. 3-2 seems likely which is probably all the Bills need out of them. If they continue to have a horseshoe up their butts I guess they might finish 4-1. 5-0 seems impossible no matter how much luck they get. 

[Talley56]

The only thing I don't like about the narrative is it kind of belittles Buffalo's win over KC.  I'd like to think the big win a couple of weeks ago was over an actual contending, not just lucky, team, even if I have to concede that KC really is still great.  I guess this last month or so of the season will tell us a lot.  KC has to go to Pittsburgh and Denver and they have to play Houston (Texans have been struggling lately but I still think they are overall a solid team).  If the Chiefs aren't that good, and they are just luck, I'm thinking at least two of those games should be losses.

That's different than thinking they are not a threat. They still can win every game. They have championship pedigree.  Their problem right now is that they have shown that EVERY game is going to be a dogfight. No easy wins for them. Last year in the playoffs they at least got an easy win against the Dolphins. This version of the Chiefs would be in a 3 pt game vs. that same Dolphins team. 

 

Would you honestly be shocked if they lost their first playoff game? They have 11 wins and point differential below 60 I think.

I really want the Chiefs to get hammered in the playoffs so that this narrative about them being clutch, being able to squeeze out victories and being able to flip the switch in the playoffs can meet with a well deserved death. While their recent success is commendable, I can also use the Not For Long label to say that pedigree can easily get exposed in the playoffs if not supported by talent and ability.

They are the only team that we have beaten that will most likely be in the 2024 playoffs, aren’t they?

HAHA!

 

I mean how many other teams can claim that two days after Thanksgiving?!? You don't have to look it up. It's just the Bills. I'm actually surprised the Bucs can't claim the same. But Lions have not yet locked up a playoff spot.

 

Admit it FireChans, you forgot the AFC West existed. I'll cut you some slack though because that entire division is down but the first and second place teams in that division have winning records and the Bills beat both.
