Chiefs
-
Professional athletes get into fights weekly whenever they sense that someone didn’t “respect” them. The Chiefs were incensed about the Raiders logo pregame gathering. The NFL goes batshit over a sneer toward an opponent because these guys can be so volatile at the slightest perceived breach of the unwritten “respect” decorums.
But, nary a peep about a teammate not getting vaxxed and having to miss at least one crucial game, which surely disrespects everybody on the team, and their hard work over the course of a season, as much as any gesture from an opponent.
I’d be madder than hell.
-
Not only a new kicker, Chiefs will have a new punter for this game due to Covid.
Dave Toub has the work cut out for special teams.
I hope that Chiefs do not have to punt much in this game, keep scoring on drives.
-
@AsadZ Hopefully, the Townsend talent runs in the family.
Better yet, hopefully he spends the entire game just holding on XPs!
-
Heard hill has been cleared and still time for Kelce!
-
No Kelce
-
-
Taking a break from shoveling to watch the game. 5 inches at my place so far.
Chargers just lost, so a Chiefs win clinches the AFC West.
-
Weird weather…it’s downright balmy at Arrowhead, and they’re playing in the snow in Seattle.
-
Clyde will not be denied !
-
Chefs are cooking up a good one!
-
@nwhawkfan we need moisture, but not 5 inches. I’m sure my farmer family members would take it.
-
@nwhawkfan hope he’s not out for the season
-
Aside from that last drive, it’s been another stellar performance by the Chiefs defense.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, once again your AFC West Champion, Kansas City Chiefs !
-
Defense has been awesome. Offense still playing way more conservatively than I’d like, but eating up clock and not turning the ball over. Looking REALLY good.
-
Chiefs going to struggle to win one Thursday with all of the Covid chaos. But - if they do win I think they take the #1 seed like I predicted awhile ago.
-
Titans have @Steelers, SF, Miami all back to back. I think they drop 1.
-
Patriots have @ Indy, Bills and @ Dolphins. I think they drop 1 of their next 2. And then Patriots are notorious for losing in Miami.
-
Ravens have Packers, Bengals and Rams left on their schedule.
I think at this point the biggest fear is winning this week. And Pat not getting mixed up in the Covid protocols.
I don’t see a way the Steelers beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead. I think the Bengals will be tough, but if the defense is back to 100% I think we take care of business… Broncos likely eliminated by week 18 so I don’t think they’ll come with much of a fight.
There is a situation where Chiefs can rest their starters week 18, and I don’t even think it is that far fetched. Titans drop 2 of their next 3. Pats drop their next 2. This requires the Chiefs win on Thursday though… And I’d be lying if I said I felt confident now that we will be missing several key pieces on the defense.

-
Chargers losing to Texans, I did not see that one coming, hey I will take it.
-
TN wins tiebreaker with the Chiefs.
The only way I see Chiefs resting their starters in the final game is if TN losses the next game while Chiefs win their next game against Bengals. This scenario will provide a 2 game cushion against TN.
-
KC had just better worry about next game up and the other will take care of it’self. -I think this game with Cincinnati & Burroughs could be a pretty good game. KC look past these guys on the road with Burroughs and the gang could come back and bite them right square in the ass
-
Kc never looks past anybody!
-
Pretty impressed by that Chiefs win yesterday. Especially with no Kelce. And wow, Pringle stepped up. Surprised to know that Pringle averages 14 yards per catch? Most on the team. I was! Hope CEH isn’t down for the count.
-
-
Whoops, wrong again… Think the Chiefs are gonna be just fine.
-
Big game for both teams today. Bengals are calling it their biggest game of the season.
For Chiefs key will be to disrupt Burrow, DL has to come up big.
-
So I ditched Red Zone for the final week of the season. I don’t getta watch any Chiefs action. I see they are up so far. How’s it looking?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk 21-14 good guys, 2nd quarter, 7:36 left our ball
-
Just tuned in myself, but based on the score this looks like the Chiefs of a couple of years ago. Offense scoring enough to cover for a less-than-optimal defense.
-
Smart gameplan by the Chiefs today. They realize that Clyde is injured (isn’t he always? For real?), so they are playing while looking long game not running Williams all that much just to be safe. Very smart. This team is for real again.
-
Bengals got some serious ref homecooking going on today, though. Makes you wonder if the NFL would like to see Burrow in the playoffs? Just sayin.
-
Sad effort in the 2nd half.
-
Just not enough effort on the defensive side. Ironically, Chiefs D was at their best on that goal line stand.
Credit to Burrow though. Accurate on those long passes in the clutch.
Now the Chiefs need the Texans to upset Tennessee next week while they beat the Broncos in order to get the top seed. Tall order.
-
Stupid penalties again cost KC a game. Gave Cincy 6 first downs. And that holding call by unknown ST player #39 at end of 1st half called back a kickoff return TD by Pringle.
Wasted an heroic effort by the double-decimated (down 20%) OL. Just hope Brown and Niaang aren’t out for good. Otherwise I am having way too much end of season deja vu from last year.
-
Niang out for season with torn patellar tendon.
-
You know, not into conspiracy theories, I’m not… But if that game wasn’t fixed, none ever have been. Every time that the Bengals needed to keep a drive alive, boom a KC penalty. Guess they wanted to make sure that Burrow made the playoffs lol. They just made this one too obvious, even a novice fan would know.
-
And to think Chase originally committed to KU to play College ball , along with Pooka and about two others from Louisiana had that recruiting class of course Chase De-committed and ended up at LSU. But originally he was coming here. -wouldn’t of mattered with Beaty here
-
@tis4tim bummer!
-
Chiefa actually STILL can get the # 1 seed. Pretty simple both them and the Titans are 11-5. - - KC wins next weekend - - Titans lose Chiefs got ot
-
And there went dreams of the #1 seed.
If Titans win at noon i borderline think it’s worth it to rest Pat, Trav, Hill, Jones, Clark and Ingram
-
I am not sure if this is a good idea. If Chiefs lose to Broncos they will drop from #2 to #4 seed.
#2 seed is still extremely valuable, at least two home playoff games.
-
I do not like to blame the officials on the outcome, however, bad officiating played a huge role in the final result.

It did but we didn’t help ourselves. Chase torched us in the first half and we didn’t switch anything up in the 2nd half. Trying to prevent a field goal we blitzed 3rd and 27 and gave up a 1st down like idiots. Just keep everything in front of you and it is a 40+ yard field goal in the cold. It was obvious we should have let them score when they got the ball to the 4. We never saw the ball again (idc if we stopped them on 4th, it was the wrong decision 9 out of 10 times).
Better this week than in two weeks. But still stings. that bye week is just such an advantage.
-
I concur that Reid and coaching staff should have at least analyzed the situation in letting them score on the final drive although Bengals got couple of calls in their favor which hurt the Chiefs
-
Okay. Enough of that hoops disaster. Let’s Go Chiefs !
-
Crappy field conditions. Players slipping and sliding all over the place.
-
Is it on purpose?
-
-
Melvin takes it away from Melvin for six ! TOUCHDOWN CHIEFS !
And two more on the conversion !
-
Wow! Huge turn around!
-
Dang our D! So off
-
Come on clock !
