480+ yards against the NFL No. 1 defense is kinda impressive.

Stephenson only has 6 penalties, needs to go for more.

Booker fumbling, then Schofield dropping it was funny. I knew this game was going to be a disaster, but I guess this is at least on on A Winter's Tale level of so bad it is hilarious.

At least Elway will have absolutely no excuses to not upgrade the O-line in the offseason.

I mean, Seahawks keep being dragged down by their O-line as well, but doing just enough to never have a real excuse to do something serious about it. Elway will have no choice but to do something in that regard.

Legitimately laughing at that play by KC! HAHAHAHAH

[Vetali]

Andy Reid gives no fucks.

[xskarma]

Wow. Dat disrespect. Poe throws for a TD. Man, if I'm the Broncos that pisses me off for the rest of my career when playing against KC.

[Twix]

lmao that TD play

Unexpected QB prospect for the Texans?

[Grube]

That Poe TD pass was awesome.

480+ yards against the NFL No. 1 defense is kinda impressive.

I mean 150 of them came on 2 plays. The defense is also missing 4 starters, and Kelce is being covered 1 on 1 by rookie safeties. They played poorly and Kelce smoked them, but 330 yards from the rest of the game while being on the field for almost 40 minutes isn't that awful I guess.

Doesn't help the offense goes 3 and out, turns the ball over quick on fumbles, or special teams fumble as often as they do. That stuff wears you down, especially later in the season with little depth as injured positions. Eagles and Vikings have had the same thing happen, just sooner.

That's a wrap for the AFC! The 6 teams confirmed. KC and Raiders can still swap spots in week 17 however.

[xskarma]

I'll say this. Christmas games did not disappoint this year.

Raiders can end up with the no. 1 seed as well if they beat the Broncos next week and the Patriots lose.

It's basically:

1: Patriots or Oakland
2: Oakland or KC
3: Steelers
4: Texans
5: KC or Oakland
6: Dolphins

If I understood correctly.

[Grube]

I kind of want the Chiefs to go to the Superbowl just because Andy Reid has been close as many times as he has.

He is a free agent this year.

Mmm I wasn't sure about both Raiders and Pats being 13-3 if that did happen. Either way. I'm happy the 3 teams I'm supporting currently all made it!

Apparently it's even so that if KC and the Patriots lose next week that Miami might end up with the 5 seed. Crazy shit.

KC looks like the team to beat overall, more so than the Pats and Cowboys.

While I would agree to some extent with this sentiment, Denver is quite soft against the run (28th) and the pass defense relies heavily on the pass rush which KC largely neutralizes by how quickly Smith gets the ball out. It's a shitty match up for Denver. While they may rank first against the pass they are in no way the best/most well rounded defense.

[Grube]

I did not know this, but Poe now has rushing, receiving, and passing TDs. Not bad for a defensive tackle. Maybe some team should sign him and use him as a 6th o-lineman/offensive weapon.

KC is kinda weird. They both beat better teams in more convincing fashion then pretty much any team, but they also have a few of the more stupid losses. I won't argue with someone saying KC is the team to beat or that they are the most complete team in the playoffs, cause after a game like tonight they certainly look it. Still, in my homer opinion the Patriots have the better offense and a sneaky good defense and I think they would beat the Chiefs in Foxborough. I'll also admit that if we played at Arrowhead, that the Patriots would likely lose. Since the more likely outcome in these playoffs is that the Patriots get the no. 1 seed, I'm going to give them the advantage, personally.

Again though, I've stressed it several times the past few months, Chiefs are seriously good and can beat anyone, Patriots and Cowboys included.

Don't pats have Better conference record?

[Grube]

Don't pats have Better conference record?

Both would have 10-2 conference records if tied after next week.

Hmmm
Where's it go after that? Division? Favorite color? Dart board?
