1/18 Texans @ Chiefs divisional playoff thread

[Success]

Too bad the playoffs worked out like they did.

 

I don't think the Chiefs would have gotten through 2 legit contenders to get to a SB.

No, but neither would KC.

They'd have more

I'd be surprised if anyone could find me a clip of Brady melting down like Mahomes did - during the game, on the sideline, and then in the presser afterward.

 

This is just recency bias. That was always one of the biggest gripes about Brady, was how much he yelled and complained. He berated refs and his own teammates multiple times every year

They would if they had Allen

I think we just have to accept that Mahomes is just as much of a doosh as Brady is/was.

Once the arguing over the call was over - it was over for him.  

 

Not ONCE did I see it carry over into the post-game presser.

Lots of luck involved in winning SBs

He’s worse

Washington really screwed up getting cute on that 4th down. Had a golden opportunity to jump on top. Probably will be playing catch up now all game.

I missed something...was mahomes complaining at his presser today? About what? 

[Sabres 2025]

So now we have to beat the Chiefs, Taylor Swift, Caitlin Clark, the Rizzler, and of course the refs.  Goodell loves using refs to rig games. Gotta keep those sponsors and telvision stations happy.  Sad state of the NFL.

Pretty wild stat. Of course, I wonder how many of those 49 teams scored more than 12 offensive points. 

[Dr. K]

I really want the Bills to win in order for them to go to Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs on their home turf. 

 

Tomorrow is a big deal.

Yeah that 4th down play ( loved going for it ) was weak sauce. Looked kind of college level. Very low chance of working.

They have to make personal fouls reviewable, you can't have a large chunk of the customers of the league thinking the league is rigged in favor of one team. KC likely was going to win this game, but if you get 2-3 bad calls tossed your way each game that's going to make it dam near impossible for a team to beat you unless they have some sort of monster at QB. The Pats had this issue with Brady who seemingly always got a big call or two each game. But I never felt like Brady was overtly flopping or pulling up while going out of bounds to get calls. Mahomes is actively working the fact that the referees protect him into giving him a bunch of calls. 

 

Making personal foul calls reviewable would go a long way to taking away the blatantly bad calls and it would also make Mahomes and other QB's think twice about risking a hit by pulling up or sliding late.

Not today. I'm talking about the game last year where the receiver was offside, and it negated what would have been Kelce's spectacular game-winning lateral, and we won the game.

 

I'd get some frustration - but it was the right call, and Mahomes absolutely melted down.

Please don’t tell me Stroud is a QB you can win with. If Herbert didn’t gag all over himself again, he would have been dispatched last week. How many sacks can a QB take in the plus side of the field. How does Slowick not prepare this raw kid for these blitz packages. Doesn’t he give him a hot receiver to save his ass?. Only my team can have Fairborn kick a 60 yd FG to stick it in our ear and then never make an important kick again. Their defense is good but why is Kelce so wide open on 3rd downs?  Throw in some mindless roughing calls and Houston should really feel like they could’ve pulled off an upset.

I've been watching football for so many years, and my main emotion has been disgust.

 

Makes me wonder if I'm using my time wisely.

 

This was very embarrassing for the league but the networks and pundits will make sure no one hears about it on Monday. It’s very deliberate now. 

[stuvian]

I don't see Bobby Slowik parlaying that performance into a head coach job 

[JerseyBills]

Chiefs been this team all year, we're just better, we'll beat them by 10+ next week
