We are still talking football, right? 🤔
 

so many innuendos I couldn’t tell if I was still logged into TBD or the penthouse forum 😆

As long as we plow through the hole and continue to go deep, we will be happy at the end

Didn’t they set the loudest stadium record during a night game?

 

I'd question that because I was there in the 90s when the Refs used to throw flags on the crowd at Rich Stadium for being too loud. Even had equipment on the sidelines to measure the dBs and would penalize us once we went over the loudness of a jet engine. Havent seen anything like that since.

Yeah I remember that rule. Such a stupid idea that was.

I wish we were the first game. Arrowhead at night is intimidating. 

 

I hear you but Josh and the guys have played well there.  They will be dialed in and i think will really enjoy this road atmosphere to get it done...much like KC had no problems playing in Buffalo last January.  They were very efficient. 

 

I've been to various games and some Bills games in Baltimore at night.   That is a stadium I'd chalk up a loss more than Kansas City.  It's electric there.

Looking likely Rapp won't play. Bishop better be pre pared to have the game of his life

Benford is out there is a red non-contact but running around without restriction. 

 

No Rapp. 

 

Milano practicing. 

 

Dawkins back as well. 

 

It's trending towards everyone but Rapp.

So looking like everyone will be out there Sunday except Rapp. Absolutely huge moment for Bishop.

Can't we just put Cam Lewis back there instead? 

[stlbills13]

Bishop having a whole week of prep in that spot gives me a little more confidence. But man we just gotta get to Mahomes on Sunday 

[zow2]

So we might be missing Rapp and no other major contributors?  That would be awesome in my book compared to the last couple seasons.

Bishop has not made 1 play that I can think of other than a pass deflection against the Dolphins and a tackle at the line of scrimmage against the Lions.

Just not a good safety at all.

Not going to refresh my thread no one liked but it's time to revisit what I was originally trying to say.  Here goes.

 

Of the Back to Back Super Bowl Champions in history Five made the playoffs the following season, four played teams in the playoffs that they played during the regular season.  Three of those teams lost both the regular season matchup and then the rematch in the playoffs.  SF in 1990 won the regular season game and then lost the playoff game.

 

In 2005 New England played at Denver (October 16th) and lost 28-20, later they lost 27-13 in the divisional round.

In 1994 Dallas played at San Francisco (November 13th) and lost 21-14, later they lost 38-28 in the nfc championship game.

In 1976 Pittsburgh played at Oakland (September 12th) and lost 31-28, later they lost 24-7 at Oakland in the AFC Championship game.

 

The chiefs are back to back champs, Buffalo beat them in Orchard Park November 17th 30-21, The AFC Championship game is January 26th.

 

It's dumb but maybe history is for once on the Bills side. 

 

Go Bills.  Also because no one will like this either here are three amazing photos from the final 3 home games.

Cam Lewis vs. Cole Bishop is a no-brainer to me.

Everyone writes a decent write up - but choose Chiefs.

[Success]

Isn't Bishop faster than Cam?

 

Might be better considering KC has Worthy & Brown.  Regardless, I'm sure the coaches will make a better decision than we can.

I have to call out John Dixon specifically haha the one regular season loss will be on the chiefs mind as motivation but the 3 playoff losses won’t be on the bills? 😂. Makes no sense 

 

as I always say though I applaud his guts for picking a not terribly close score.  I’m so tired of the picks where these people are like yea this team is better yada yada 24-23 final lol 

 

I’ve actually seen a fair amount of bills picks methinks arrowhead pride selectively chose all writers predicting a kc win intentionally.  It’d be pretty hard to find that big of a random sample of writers that all picked the chiefs in this one.  The Baltimore picks last week were more lopsided.  My exposure to kc media this week seems to give me the impression that they are mostly massive homers which I get they win a lot but come on now lol
