Just waiting for the line to hit 3.

Turns out -2.5 CIN was the furthest in the swing.
It's moved back to - 1 KC, basically a PICKEM.

Yeah the Mahomes video yesterday completely changed that.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I don't know, maybe it's just me but I am still shocked Mahomes "walked away" from that.
My immediate thought was not only did his leg snap but he blew out his knee too.
Not that he needs the money but if I was him I would have bought a lottery ticket after that game.
If there is a God, no one can convince me God wasn't on his side and looking after him.

Dunno what was going on in the defender ( Key's ) head at that moment but it sure looked like he didn't need to extend that knee out while he was falling.

Burrow's dominance equals crappy officiating, O/T focus, and the longest strip fumble of Kelce in the history of forward progress along with a Butker slowed by nagging injury. Each game should have been a Chief's win.

KC had nice leads in all three but struggled to score in the 2nd half of each and lost them all on late FGs. Some bad penalties, that absurd fumble and some huge mistakes on defense. No dominance at all.

KC is due for one vs. the Bengals although this will be a tough one once again.

Had at least 75% winning change in each of the games in the 4th quarter.

Bengals are fine. But they’ve also gotten very lucky against KC in that KC melted down.

The two Olinemen out last game for the Bengals still aren’t practicing. They get their CB Flowers back. Their TE Hurst was limited but he should be good to go.

Hardman probably won’t play.
Who knows with CEH.

I am fine with CEH not playing. Pacheco and McKinnon are enough back there.

[pdub]

No doubt.
I think, if fully healthy, he'd be more backup insurance to take Ronald Jones's place - maybe get on the field for a couple plays. He's still an OK running back - just too late in the season at this point.

I'm not going to say the games against the Bengals shouldn't have been wins but I'm curious what your take is on the games against the Chargers and Broncos as well as the games against Raiders (first game), Titans, and Texans. Do you feel any of those should have been a loss?

[pdub]

Raiders, first game, was marred by awful officiating against the Chiefs in the first half.
Houston, was marred by awful officiating against the Chiefs all game.

Connection between two games?
Fucking Carl Cheffers, the worst official in the NFL.

Word. And the difference between those other teams and the Bengals is that the Chiefs could win anyway because they weren't the Bengals. The Bengals are good enough to beat the Chiefs with a break or two. The others weren't.

Last night I was close to pulling the trigger and booking a trip (flight/hotel/tickets) to come to KC for the game tomorrow. Then I looked at the weather forecast. We are supposed to get 2-6 inches of snow in Chicago and it's supposed to be very cold tomorrow night in KC. As I was saying to myself forget it, I received an email from a co-worker saying he won't be at work on Monday (I was going to fly back Monday) and I need to be in the office. That put a definite kibosh on my plans.
Reason why I shared that - typically when I am close to attending a sporting event and decide against it, the game ends up being great and I regret not going.

Thus, my game prediction - Chiefs win by 7 in a back and forth game and it's actually the Chiefs Defense that steps up big in the 4th quarter to secure the win.

Kelce is hurt.
Of course he is.

The only time I saw a game stopped for crowd noise was 1972. Raiders at Arrowhead. Mark Hubbard made a statement to the press before the game that the Raiders were "coming to KC to kick their ass".

I guess that did not sit well with Willie Lanier.

Every time Hubbard got the ball Lanier just smothered him and pounded the shit out of him. They announced the rushing yardage at half-time and I recall Hubbard having negative yards, and he was the primary ball carrier. The crowd went wild. Lanier eventually knocked him out of the game in the second half. When they took Hubbard out of the game the crowd started chanting "We Want Hubbard!" so loud they stopped the game for several minutes. Eventually he left the field and went to the locker room to quiet the crowd down. As a 12 year old kid I thought it was the greatest thing I had ever experienced. I think this was before they could assess a penalty against the crowd cuz I don't recall the refs saying anything about that, not that I could hear the refs on the loudspeaker system in the stadium over the crowd noise that day.

Somebody on the defense needs to make it their mission tomorrow to wipe the smirk off Burrows' face. I think Chris Jones is the most likely candidate.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Great story and another example of the good ole' days.
I have been in Arrowhead only a handful of times and every time was a heck of an experience. The same can not be said for other stadiums I have been to.
Bummed I won't be at the game tomorrow but my positive thought is that a bigger fan and someone more deserving than me will be there in my place - and they will witness a W.
Go Chiefs!

It’s difficult for me to determine which is louder to be honest.

I’ve never been to a Chiefs playoff game.
