Are you more optimistic against KC this year than in prior playoff years?

[stinky finger]

I feel supremely confident. I expect to win this game. I don't think I've ever had this expectation in this spot before.

 

We're the best team remaining. 

[DaVinci]

Seems like some injuries are piling up.

[Dr Krentist]

I want to wait until we get the injury report.

[NickelCity]

We need full health.

 

Rapp Bernard Benford Rousseau Milano Johnson....going to be a nervy week.

[Lieutenant Aldo Raine]

I'm not falling into the overconfidence Karma Trap like the Ravens were this past week.  I'm keeping it level-headed because anything can happen - (13 seconds, missed FG, time management, going shotgun at the 1 yd line vice a tush push) etc.  The Chiefs thrive just as much on other teams beating themselves.  The entire country outside of KC is going to pulling for the Bills, that's a huge burden if they allow that to get in their head.

One injury is a pile-up?

Where was Rousseau on the last drive? 
 

And apparently Benford got banged up.  

[Big Blitz]

Ok Rousseau was definitely on the field for the last 2 point play.

I think it was Johnson and he came back in unless benford got banged up too?

I don’t feel confident at all, but I’m ok with whatever happens at this point. I’m happy the team has an opportunity to beat the chiefs, but the nfl loves themselves the chiefs and they will see it that they make the Super Bowl. Expect the officials to make back breaking calls against the bills

I think we’re fine outside of Rapp.

That I don’t know - but no word from anyone tells me not overreact at the moment.  
 

Looked like the personnel was Dime and he was off the field.  

[BobbyC81]

Yes, it feels different.  I think they can do it.

[sven233]

Until the coaches prove they can win in crucial situations, I will never be confident in any game. 

 

I hate that I have to even say that, but in every postseason since this regime has been there, McDermott and the rest of the coaching staff do everything they can at times to prevent us from winning.  They almost did it tonight.  Lining up in shotgun from the 2 instead of just tush pushing it twice is just way overthinking things.  Heck, the defense gave up a potential game tying TD drive on the last possession AGAIN in this game like they have done multiple times in the playoffs before.  If it wasn't for that drop by Andrews, who knows what happens in this game.  They still are making bad decisions.  They just got away with it tonight for the first time in a very long time.

 

So no......I am not feeling any more confident going into this game.  Can we win?  Of course.  Do I feel great about it knowing what our coaches are capable of and knowing how much the refs are probably going to help the Chiefs?  No.  But, it's on us and we have every opportunity to right a lot of wrongs next week with a win.

If we play aggressive offensively just like we did last time we played them, I think we can win. We score 30, I think we beat them. If we play conservative offensively like we did tonight, then it will be a lot harder

But that conservatism melted the clock away & Harbaugh blinked first.

 

Why can't we give McD credit?  Because of a dropped pass?  Bills were better team. They won. KC winning games all year like the Bills just won, nobody is slamming them.

Last year, I was somewhat confident but still nervous.  The previous two meetings I was a nervous wreck and wasn’t too optimistic, I think hopeful is the best word.

 

The game next week, I am really comfortable right now.  It could change closer to game day but for this Ravens game, I immediately was nervous after beating Denver.  Baltimore’s offense was just very scary to me.

 

KC, I feel really good right now.

 

What about you guys?

Exactly the same for me.  I have never been more confident ahead of a KC game than I am this year and Balt was the biggest matchup concern for me of anyone in the playoffs.  I was nervous all week and during the game too.  But now I have more excitement than nerves, at least today, as we get ready for KC.
 

It just all feels different this year with this team too.  After the game I was walking to the kitchen and just had this incredible vivid vision pop randomly in my head of the confetti coming down on Josh and McD in the Super Bowl after a win…so vivid it felt more like a glimpse into the future.  

Bills by 2 scores over KC!  LFG!!!!
