Any update on the flu going around the team? Heard it around the grapevine that 12/13 players got it this week?

It’s “heard it through the grapevine”…..I got to go throw up now.

Been nasty everywhere so I've heard. Constantly rotating sickness among my family for the past two weeks here in Seattle.

So I saw on the Chiefs board that Buffalo lost to the New England Patriots and can't possibly be thinking Superbowl.  AND....AND nobody even bothered to challenge that statement.

What a bunch of idiots

Applying that same level of dumb logic we're not only one of the only two teams that's beaten them this year, but we also beat the other team that beat them in this playoff run already.

Pretty sure it was Leonard Smith and Mark Kelso holding down the Safety spots that day. 

Didn't Leonard Smith get hurt?

If I am Beane and Pegula I am on the phone with the league demanding the guy that reffed the Chiefs-Texans game not be allowed to have the championship game.  The Chiefs are unbeaten with him, and the roughing calls on Saturday were absurd.  I read somewhere the ref was saying he THOUGHT he saw contact to the ehad so threw a flag.  You don't think you saw something, you have to KNOW you saw it.

It's a judgement call, he doesn't get to see all the replays like you do

Hidden behind a pay wall but leave my wife out of this.

How long before you can start a thread around here?

Yeah, same area. Thankfully I'm healthy but literally everyone is sick with either Norovirus and they essentially feel like they have food poisoning, or they have "a flu that's totally not covid." It's rough.

 

Was considering heading to Art Marble on Sunday for the first time to watch the game with the Bills Backers, but I'm pretty positive it's gonna be a superspreader event of some kind.

 

Might try to find good wings that I can get delivery for, as far as I know Vindicktive does not deliver at all sadly.

If I were the Chiefs I would try to make this a shoot out. Can’t let them get an early lead.

It will be important to win the turnover battle. Chiefs rarely lose when they are in the positive. They are closer to .500 when in the negative including the game against Buffalo earlier in the season.

 

Zero turnovers since week 12 for KC. Will come down to who makes the least amount of mistakes in what will be a close game.

That Marv interview was awesome.  He’s still sharp as a tack.

Bills have only 1 turnover since week 11- Josh’s 50 yard arm punt inside New Englands 10.  We have played more playoff games than KC, and much stronger opponents

That's right. What I recall is that Levy refused to play Henry in the Super Bowl that year when I think Smith was injured, opting to play a veteran bench player instead. Henry, who would turn out to be excellent when finally allowed to play the next year, sat on the bench while the secondary got torched. I would be surprised if he played in the AFCC the week before. 

Yes Dwight Drane started for Leonard Smith in that Super Bowl.  Smith had a nasty infection in his knee from turf burn and, as it turns out, never played in another NFL game.  Smith hit like Taylor Rapp on speed.

I loved Levy, but I've always hated that decision to keep Henry (akin to Bishop) on the bench because of his "rookies don't play" philosophy. A few years later, he kept two rookies, John Parella and another big DT, on the bench in the Super Bowl when the Cowboys were pounding Jeff Wright and the other DTs into the ground. Remember that one TD run when Cowboys ran it every single play? Levy was terrific, but his stubbornness on those two occasions cost the Bills dearly.

I can't imagine him not giving it a go, but none of McDermott's statements there were promising. 

 

Usually its "he's making progress" or "optimistic" - but still up in the air? 

Thats how I saw it as well!

If you're talking about Milano he doesn't even have an injury designation.
