I think that KC mouscot could score on the Texans right now.

Hail Mary or Da Bomb.

Also the best part might have been that you could make your entire team dive on the opposing team’s quarterback in the couple seconds after the play.

Stephen A. and Skip are jokes now. Nothing either says makes any sense and it seems like they chose to say what would get the biggest reaction instead of what is right. I don’t think the hire is as bad as they make it, its a gamble but looking at his resume, I’d say he has a lot of potential as a coach.

“Why the Texans’ collapse against the Chiefs is Bill O’Brien’s worst playoff loss yet”

Article from The Athletic, an excellent pay site, written by the Texans’ beat writer. Key part:

"O’Brien handed the Chiefs their first victory of the day early in the second quarter, with his team at the Kansas City 13-yard line. The coach said he believed his team had earned a first down the play before but didn’t have enough evidence to challenge it, so instead it was fourth-and-1. And without that new set of downs, he said they “didn’t have a great play there for the fourth down,” so he settled for a field goal.

Even if Houston had moved the chains, though, shouldn’t O’Brien have felt confident that any play call could get a yard? His offense averaged 6.6 net yards per play in the first quarter.

The conservative approach becomes more mystifying when considered against his explanation for a key decision he made on the Texans’ next possession: Facing fourth-and-4 from his own 31-yard line, O’Brien called for a fake punt that the Chiefs sniffed out, giving Kansas City a short field that set up the second of seven straight touchdown drives."

So the Browns hired Kevin Stepanski, the guy I was hoping the Giants would hire. The reaction has been meh at best. Stepanski is Paul DePodesta’s “guy”; DePodesta (associated with the whole Moneyball thing from baseball way back when) is dismissed as strictly an “analytics guy”, not a “football guy”. Apparently I liked Stepanski due to my “fantasy” sports proclivities


Well, at least now I get to directly compare Stepanski to Joe Judge next year.

Fuck 
 The Colts will have the highest cap space of any team next season. The organization is already hinting that they will be spending Jack and Shit!

Super lame I know but the Chiefs making the Super Bowl is one of the happiest days of my life. So much heartbreak in my 36 years of fandom for them.

Chiefs 49ers looking like it. Elite o elite d.
Should be fun assuming the pack doesn’t make an insane comeback.

I like the Chief’s chances considering the 49ers game looked just like the Titan’s previous games.

Jimmy G
6/8, 77 yards and 0 touchdowns, Hahahah.

But- remember, that’s also just good coaching and great defense.

I’d much rather have good coaching and a great defense than a great offense. Fortunately, the Chiefs have good coaching and a crazy offense. Just an iffy defense from time to time is dangerous.

Judging by what I saw today the Chiefs are going to win


no one can hit the quarterback much anymore, so that Mahomes dude will have no problem simply running it in

Tannehill’s stats suck in the playoffs for a QB, *but he didn’t need to be the MVP
until today. You can’t run every play when you’re trailing.

It looks like the 49ers took what was there - the run. It’ll be a similar matchup but I think the 9ers are better quipped to pass if they need to. On the other hand, I haven’t seen them play much.

I agree, the 49ers are better equipped to pass. George Kittle is a unique talent at tight end. Plus they have the rookie Deebo Samuel, who has that special “it” playmaker factor. Their other WRs are competent as well, starting with Emmanuel Sanders.

KC’s big advantage is obviously Pat Mahomes, the best QB in football, easily.

But as a long time Giants fan who has watched them win multiple SBs against superior/elite QBs, I can tell you that the only kryptonite that works against these elite QBs is a great pass rush. The Niners have a great pass rush.

Yeah I think San Fran on the whole is significantly more talented and has been more consistent than the Titans. They were a 6 seed for a reason and the odds are going to be much closer to even when it’s all said and done than the Chiefs by as much as 7-9 range like the titans game.

49ers D much better than the Titans and the 49ers have slaughtered some elite teams this year.

Reminds me of when the Broncos played the Seahawks. I gotta go with the elite defense every time.
