I am probably wrong but I felt like the Chiefs outcoached the Steelers.

They had a lot of nice plays on offense that fooled our defense and kept moving the chains. I really loved the 4th down play to the fullback right before their TD. I thought our players outplayed theirs and it was those calls that kept them in the game. It also helped that the Steelers had no interest in scoring TDs and putting the game away...

Who's rooting for the Pats?

I just feel TDR is too strong a man to root for another team to finish off the Pats.

He used to be my hero, now he's dead to me!

All I have left is Mech and me and BG's power of positivity towards 8-8

Every time the Browns are eliminated from playoff contention (about week 6) the first thing out of Browns-GAF's collective mouth is "Go Asterisks".

I'm just trying to understand why everyone thinks it's this groundbreaking concept for Dolphins fans to be upset with their team for failing to stop the Pats. Talk about preaching to the choir. Doesn't mean I can't root against them just because my team sucks.
Click to expand...

Speaking of teams sucking, let's recap stuff from the 2016 preseason article that didn't change in the season or playoffs

2. Bill O’Brien is labeled time after time after time as some offensive genius who is also some magical QB-guru known for developing QBs. Someone name me a QB he has developed? No, Tom Brady doesn’t count. Did you see the clown car full of QBs he had last year? Remember on Hard Knocks how offended he got when people criticized Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett? But hey, at least he ran Case Keenum out of town and into the concussion trap that is the Rams. His main innovation last year was bringing in a guy cut by the Seahawks and using him to run the wildcat.

3. The team’s best offensive player last year was Shane Lechler, the punter. Lechler’s also probably the best QB in team history.

4. Offensive genius O’Brien had his ass handed to him twice by Andy Reid. ANDY REID! And both games were in Houston.

5. How do you quiet your home crowd? Put J.J. Watt and Vince Wilfork in as running backs at the goal line during a playoff game, and still not score a touchdown.

6. The reason the Texans made the playoffs last year was the defense. A defense built by Wade Phillips, who the Texans didn’t keep as defensive coordinator because Romeo Crennel needed another sideline to destroy.

7. The owner, Bob McNair, is a homophobe who helped fund campaign ads that helped to defeat Houston’s HERO equal rights legislation. You remember those ads, right? The ones that said it was now legal for men to dress as women so they could go into women’s restrooms and rape little girls.

8. They gave Brock Osweiller a four year $72 million contract. The guy who couldn’t beat out Peyton Manning for a job even though Manning could no longer throw the ball five yards. The guy the Broncos said, “No, go ahead, you take him. We’ll just go with Mark Sanchez.”

9. If Osweiller turns into Scott Mitchell or Matt Flynn, the idiots will flood Houston’s sports talk stations demanding the team sign Vince Young.

10. The new running back is Lamar Miller, who the Dolphins gave up on because he sucked. The one time he didn’t suck? That one game he played last season against the Texans.

Check for 2-10 (didn't include 1 because it was laughing at Watt, who got IR'd too early to truly fully laugh at this time)

Matt Schaub, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Hoyer, and now Brock Osweiler. Why do we always settle for backups? is Rick Smith too stupid to get a draft a franchise QB?

Houston is Cleveland without the evergreen headlines. Don’t believe me? Between the Oilers and Texans, there have been zero Super Bowl appearances by a Houston football team; Our baseball team was swept in its only World Series and, just last year, allowed the Royals to come back in the 8th inning at home to send the series back to Kansas City; we convinced ourselves that Dwight Howard wasn’t a psychologically-delusional AAU-bred pre-diabetic; people seriously protested “the influx of Islam” outside of the downtown Islamic Da’wah Center owned by Hakeem Olajuwon, the only athlete to not spectacularly disappoint this city.

Our answer for replacing the starting lousy backup quarterback was to pay a great deal of money for a starting lousy backup quarterback. McNair loves backup quarterbacks ALMOST as much as he hates anti-discrimination ordinances.

Last year we all watched the team on Hard Knocks decide which jobber would be our first string QB, only to watch our head coach reverse his HBO monologue after week 1. Rick Smith couldn’t manage a Piggly Wiggly but he stumbled into the playoffs to save his job, then outbid nobody for Peyton’s backup. And fuck David Carr, who has more Super Bowl rings than the Texans organization.

I don't sound as crazy as Chris but he is right. Rodgers is the GOAT. He is carrying that team on his back in a way we have never seen before. And against great competition no less. The Cowboys are a really good football team. One stupid asshole in a tent should not be able to beat them by himself. And yet...

Packer fans are so lucky that most of them are probably getting multiple Switches on launch day.

Like they still have choices between the Falcons and Packers.

KC definitely uses a lot of creative concepts offensively. The problem is that they have to in order to make up for a lack of a traditional running game. A lot of the people calling for Alex Smith's head this morning should instead be asking their front office why they've continually put all their eggs in Jamaal Charles' basket when he obviously can't stay healthy.

I thought Smith played a fantastic game.

Like I said I thought the Chiefs were just not as talented as the Steelers. They stayed in the game because the Steelers did not show any killer instinct in the RZ and because of good coaching and great qb play. Smith made a ton of plays just to keep them in the game.

Yet a lot of people are probably going to blame Reid and Smith for last night.

“Let’s say very little moving forward. Let’s start our preparations,” Tomlin said in the video. “We spotted those [expletive] a day and a half. They played yesterday. Our game got moved to tonight. We gonna touch down at 4 o’clock in the [expletive] morning. So be it. We’ll be ready for that ass. But you ain’t gotta tell them we coming … Keep a low profile.”

We scored 6 times and they scored 3 times. We doubled up on them and still only won by 2 points. In addition to scoring 6x, Ben threw a pick in the end zone.

This game should not have been close. We outplayed them. It should have been similar to the Trumpriot/Texan score, but inside the RZ either Haley or Ben decided to get cute and stupid and left us calling Boswell a Killer B.

When we face the Ultimate Evil this week, when the fate of the world is in our hands, I pray that Tomlin has the strength to realize that every possession over the 50 is 4 down territory. You can beat the Chefs with FGs (as we proved) but there's no fucking way you'll beat Darth Brady with FGs.

The only time you kick a FG against the Trumpriots is when there are 5 seconds left in the game and it will win it for you.

The offense did a great job in my opinion. Reid just always has had a tough time clinching games. I don't really know how that can be fixed, because it's a problem other coaches have shown (other most frequent playoff example I can think of is McCarthy, and hoo boy did they get lucky they didn't lose too). Defense tried their best and did a good job holding it to FGs for the most part

Take a step back. At the end of the day, it's just a game played for our amusement. Fans of 31 teams wind up with nothing besides "next year" to look forward to at the conclusion of every season.

I agree with everything you said, but I still give credit to the Chiefs coaches for keeping them in a game when the Steelers were obviously more talented on both sides of the ball. It could only be close if we let the stay close. I just appreciated the creative play calls they used to move the ball because they could not just line up and beat us one on one or man to man.

Ben is due to have a great game. I hope our players are as wide open as the Texans players were this weekend. I think we can run and pass on the Pats. We just have to execute and finish them off.

We coming!

That was a live assessment. It was more a dumb decision than a melicious play. Yeah, he's trying to dislodge the ball, as you're taught to do even in today's NFL - but he led with his shoulder and not his helmet. But with the receiver laying out for the ball, he shouldn't have gone for the hit. It's tough for your brain to override instincts at that point though, especially since it was a boom boom play. It deserved a penalty, and it ended up being a nasty hit, but I don't think the intent was malicious enough to warrant any criticism north of it deserving a flag and fine.
