I was hoping for a blocked extra point return to win it. Chiefs always disappoint me.

Flatlined, send an ambulance.

SONG! Save Our Northern Goblin!

RAIDERS WIN!

What an amazing game. GOTY for sure.


Gratz NG!

In the words of George W at Trump's inauguration: "That was some weird shit." Almost expected a miss on the extra point to keep this one going.

That was interesting!

If Berry was there he woulda done it.

If Berry was there he woulda done it.

If Berry was there, the Chiefs' defense wouldn't have sucked so bad.

This is just further proof that the NFL needs to go with my idea and have ONLY Division games on Thursday. These are always so much fun and it helps teams prepare, cause they know their division rivals the best anyway, which helps on a short week.

Yep, with these damn Thursday games I didn't have a chance to drop them and replace them.

I wish me of right now could go back and tell me of 4 hours ago to replace Marshawn Lynch...

[Fencers]

Fantastic game. Best I have seen this season.

I like both teams a lot but it's nice to see the Raiders have a much needed win at this point.

I read that. Really weird that they reported he was upset and left. Someone with an agenda one would think.

There's been 3 good Thursday night games so far this season and it's not even week 8 yet. What the hell?

"Upset" could just mean ignoring them. Just like after SB49 where there were false claims of him leaving pissed off as well.

So many things went wrong tonight, we still play single high man to man vs fast receivers, we can't cover tight ends, and we make some WEIRD play calls on offence.

Must be that if somebody doesn't know what route to run they just follow somebody that does.

Hey, I'm new here, I'm not sure where to go. Oh, we run that way? Sure, I'll follow you.

That game was...intense. That ending though. KC the new Vikings?

KC's problem the last few years that Andy Reid has been there has often been that they jump out of the gate at season start and then eventually start to falter. The Vikings straight up didn't make the playoffs, I don't think the Chiefs are THAT bad. They'll make the playoffs, but it may not be as easy as it looked the first few weeks, especially in that division.

I'm guessing it has something to do with Andy Reid's pre-planning ability and ability to design plays. Early int he season those are new and work terrific, but as season goes on and teams figure them out, they start lacking that bit extra they had and are on a more even footing.

At that point Andy Reid shortcomings (in game management and clock management) start showing up and he starts losing games that he probably would have easily won early in the season.

Support this idea
