I'm feeling as Buffalo Bills hoping they need everything to get the KC monkey off your backs! Then is do that the playoffs will go through Orchard Park in Western NYS!

This week's game is crucial for home field. Josh beat Mahomes once in the regular season, but 0-2 when it counts, the playoffs.
 
Watching KC-LV. What a stupid call on that 30-29 sore. Whether they tie it at 30, or take the lead at 31, all KC needs is a FG either way to win it. Now, KC doesn't need to score at all, a long drive could run the clock down. Dumb.

yes

As a RAIDER I can verify we are stupid.

I quit watching after KC opened the 2nd half with a TD.

Did we score a late TD and go for 2 and not get it?

I just don't know. I think a lot of people were expecting better and to be honest, I thought McDaniel's second term at the feet of Belichick would have been beneficial, but no.

Given the roster, I see no other reason for their failure other then coaching.

When I saw the raiders jump out ahead, I'm like wow, that's surprising but this was KC and I knew not to expect Raider's good fortune to continue.

Yep. Score 30-29, with 4:27 left and they went for two and missed it.

Final score.

Then. then its 4th and 2 with roughly 30 seconds left, at the 50. LV goign for the winning FG. They need the first down. The play call? No, not "get the 2," it was a 30 yard home run ball - way off target of course.

The coaches lost that game.

I have a solution for all the bogus roughing the passer calls. Treat it like college targetting. If the flag is thrown, the ref has to video review it first to confirm it.

Watched the highlights of the Giants 27-22 win over the Packers, very plucky offense managing to get things done.

As a RAIDER fan all I can say is I was glad to see that call go in our favor. Especially after the tuck rule bullsh*t. 😉
 
On reviews, the one thing I don't understand is that all scoring plays are reviewed. Ok, that makes sense.

But what about plays that would have been scoring plays? Aren't those just as important?

For example, take a play for a TD where the receiver catches the ball and maybe has control/ maybe doesn't have control.

If it is called a touchdown by the official, it is reviewed. If the exact same play is called an incomplete pass, it is not reviewed. This makes no sense.

On the Roughing calls, this is what they get for not letting a defender come down with their weight on the QB. So they pull them down with a wrestling type move which has led to some concussions. I can't remember any QB being injured from a defender landing on them. They might miss a play for having the wind knocked out of them, but they aren't injured. I guarantee Tua and the one the week before I can't remember would have rather the defender land on them vs what happened.

Not true. Shoulders get all sorts of injuries, collar bones are broken, etc. when 300+ pounds falls on it.

In KC-Raiders, it didn't look like it was an all-weight tackle, Jones put his arm down to cushion the hit while scooping up the ball. And in Atl-TB, that was just one of those twirly-tackles, he didn't slam Brady into the ground.

Both bad calls.

Think a lot depends on the injury situation in the Bills defense. Didn’t they have something like 6 first-choice people out?

Yes, 6 were out, but a few are back. The Bills are still without their best CB, Tre White. Considering, the Bills did well, being a top 2 defensive team with essentially a pre-season starting roster on D. But you never have enough defense against Mahomes. Brady and Rodgers may be the best of all tme, but Mahomes and Allen are the best right now.
 
What I find surprising is that the Chiefs offense is still almost as good as they were with Tyreek Hill. They weren’t one dimensional before, with people like Travis Kelce able to go the middle distance but the other WRs seem to have picked up some of the slack. We will see how they do against the Bills.

KC and the Bills are similar in that when you have Mahomes/Allen, it almost doesn't matter how good your receivers are, they make the WRs better. Though the Bills with Diggs and Davis are in good shape, as is KC and Kelce.

As someone who lives in boston, its been a rarity for me to root for anyone else in the AFC east, but I will say watching the bills is fun. I'll root for them, over KC any day 🙂

Despite all the Super Bowls, I could never say NE was fun to watch. Efficient, but not "fun." Brady didn't throw 98 yard bombs and plow over guys running the ball like Allen or non-look side arm throws like Mahomes. Defense and efficient, no mistake passing was NE.

For them, the fun was the winning, and I get that, as a fan, seeing them win can be fun, but as games go, them being all business like, yeah. I know what you mean. The on the field action with them can be viewed as serious.

There were many games in their long superbowl run, that certainly fit the bill of being fun.

I particularly think of the SB with ATL, where they were down 28-3. That was thrilling and some of those catches were mind blowing
