You took a while to come around to Allen right? Someone on here was not high on him originally

We are one step closer to the extinction event of another Chiefs Eagles SB. Cant see the Rams beating the Eagles on the road so its all on the Bills/Ravens/Commanders to save us now.
Oh and the zebras were pathetic in the Chiefs Texans game, its not like they needed help in the first place with how bad the Texans Oline was playing, 8 bloody sacks...

Jumped on the Redskins bandwagon when they beat the Dolphins in the 1st Super Bowl I ever saw back in the 80s.
Paid for that one in spades, since they'd
not won a playoff game in almost 2 decades until this year.
That's a definite.At least the right DC team won in those two games
Yeah i was a hater for a while
And people thought the Lions might win a Super Bowl.
eboue
The Commies out-Campbelled Campbell. So many ice-cold 4th down conversions.
About everything that could go wrong for the Lions did. A D finally unable to handle the injuries and incapable of either making a play or not committing stupid penalties. An offence constantly turning over the ball. Dubious play calling. It had it all. You sense this was the best year for the Lions to get out of the NFC. But alas.
Goff is awful. I shamefully bought into the idea that he maybe wasn’t and turns out I was proven very wrong.

In the end the Lions simply did what they always do and faltered when it mattered most. Tragic franchise, incapable of success.
And I can’t help but laugh at Dan Snyder. The very second his miserable ass got booted out of Washington, the team starts to win. What a horribly incapable owner he was.
One of the very worst owners in sports I can remember. Nasty man too.
Gotta feel for the Lions. Get the feeling that they'll never sniff a Superbowl as much as they try.
He’s a horrible man who deserves every bit of ridicule. I could live with Washington winning it all, just so he looks even more stupid.
The Lions are hopeless.
It very much did give “the moment was too big for them” vibes. Every decision was emotive it felt. Like the coaches and play callers got so worked up by the moment that everything had to be so erratic and fanfare. They went away from fundamentals.
Basically the opposite of what the Patriots did all those years with their „do your job“ mantra. No surprise they failed.
What’s the chances of the Commanders potentially going all the way and winning it or are the remaining AFC sides way too strong? Didn’t expect to see them win at Detroit this morning which has shocked me waking up reading that they have pulled off a massive upset.
the 3 NFC North team went 40-11 in the regular season and 0-3 in playoffs.
If you dont have franchise QBs you get found out in games like these, eventually, that's why I never took the suggestion that these 14 wins NFC teams can hang with the Chiefs, Ravens and Bills seriously.

What about the Eagles then?
I had them as the NFC winner, but it would be depressing as feck if its them vs KC again.
Missed most of the NFC game, watched the highlights this morning. My thoughts:
- Jahmyr Gibbs is an absolute beast (14 rushes, 105 yds, 7.5 avg, 2 TDs plus 6 receptions for 70 yds). What a wasted effort.
- Lions D's injuries finally caught up to them. Got gashed time and time again. And when it looked like they might finally make a stop, the goal line penalty (12 men on the field) on 4th down was crushing.
- Turnovers killed the Lions. Jared Goff will feck up at the most critical moments. Also, a stupid trick play call from Ben Johnson when Jameson Williams threw the pick. Completely unnecessary.
- Amazing TD catch by LaPorta
- Jayden Daniels is just special. He's a winner.
- All Mike Sainristil does is makes clutch plays. Did it at Michigan and now doing it in the NFL. His two picks were huge.
- Feels like a real missed opportunity for the Lions. Good chance they'll lose both their offensive and defensive coordinators this offseason.
Chiefs win as expected in the way I expected too. Ouch Lions. I'm as gutted as much as if they had lost the Super Bowl.
feck Washington.
Anyone but them or the Chiefs. Sadly that's not realistic.

Still hate for Washington? No post Snyder bounce with you?
If it is all about the Quarterback then Stafford and Daniels are way better than Hurts.
I have faith in Bills beating Chiefs
It’s not just about the QB, but a team with Darnold or Goff isn’t beating Mahomes, Allen or Lamar (well, bit doubtful given his playoff record, but they have Henry this year). I picked the Eagles because they have the home field advantage and before Hurts got concussed was the best NFC team on form.
I’m not confident about either Bills or Ravens against Chiefs at the Arrowhead, think the last time they lost there in the playoffs was that AFCCG OT game against Brady, but hopefully they pull it off.
Burrowhead AFCCG 3 years ago
Allen is 3-2 at Arrowhead and 4-4 overall against KC. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/josh-allen-record-vs-kansas-city-chiefs-including-playoffs
Jackson is 0-3 at Arrowhead and 1-4 overall against KC. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/lamar-jackson-record-vs-kansas-city-chiefs
Edit: Forgot to check Allen vs Jackson - in Lamar's favor, 1-0 at Buffalo and 3-1 overall.

Think both the Ravens and the Bills beat the Chiefs. I know their records are horrible but the Chiefs's luck has to run out eventually. Right ?
What a kneejerk reaction, Goff can be (and has been) a very solid QB when put in the right situation. Has led probably top-3 offenses if not best in the league offenses at two different franchises. Had the regular season stats and wins to back it all up - in no way is he “awful” at what he does.
Rooting for the Commanders in the NFC now, Rams would be meh and Eagles would be disastrous. But hoping the winner of Bills vs Ravens tonight will win it all.
If the Ravens get through today put a bet on over 100 yards penalties to the Chiefs
I put my entire NFL betting earnings from this season on a Chiefs SB win yesterday at 4.50 odds. If they’re gonna luck their way into a 3-peat I might as well make some money off of it.
Yeah. And he’s flopped in the playoffs enough times too. When the going gets tough, he bottles it. And for me that’s one of the most negative traits of all because you actually weaken your team with errors when it counts most. So no, not a knee jerk reaction at all. Just a very stark reminder that he can only operate in a very specific system and even with that, cannot hold his own in important moments.
He’s already operated successfully in two totally different systems and environments?
By your measurements above, you should also think Justin Herbert is an awful QB.
Not even luck both teams are just so much better than the Chiefs now in every department. The Chiefs are not going to stop the Bills or Ravens from scoring at will.
They aren’t that different mate. Both centred on run games opening up the play action. I’m sure there’s lots of differences too, I don’t pretend to be a system expert. Anyway, you gonna sit there and tell me Goff elevates his team and offence moreso than his success in the system? I don’t believe you truly believe that yourself for one second.
Herbert was awful in wildcard weekend, yes. I give him a slight benefit of the doubt because he hasn’t been around as long as Goff and he’s just generally on a worse team than the Lions (and the Rams were when Goff was there).
Look, we are arguing over semantics of the word “awful”, the truth is not many would want Goff under centre at their franchise. Thats the reality. Not if they want to win super bowl’s.
They scored 31 points, more than the Chiefs have all season. Goff didn’t help himself but it’s not like he can line up on defense as well. There are only so much franchise QBs in the NFL at this moment, probably not even 10 genuine ones. Goff isn’t one of those but I wouldn’t mind him at QB either if I’m a great OC, which McVay and Johnson both are.
There aren’t 10 QBs I’d pick over Goff based on this season. Burrow, Lamar, Allen, Stroud (debatable), Mahomes, Hurts, Daniels, Baker, and maybe Stafford. Awful is how I’d describe the likes of Desmond Ridder, Mac Jones, Will Levis et al. Goff is miles away from that level and more than capable of going all the way. Won’t be the defining factor like Lamar or Allen are but definitely won’t be the problem either imo.
Fully respect that. Although surely you should have done it before last night for better odds
Yeah did it in the afternoon before their game. They weren’t even favourites, think the Lions were at 3.60.Fully respect that. Although surely you should have done it before last night for better odds
Oh fair, I misread your post. Too busy watching Onana pretend to be a Premier League goalkeeper.
And people thought the Lions might win a Super Bowl.
A thought for the many Lions fans that all season couldn't behave from their high horses.
Read a very interesting stat on NFL.com.
Teams with a > total yards differential and zero turnovers were 46-0 in playoffs in the superbowl era … until yesterday. Now 46-1.
