None of the "experts" thats for damn sure! Which for me is what makes this great. I will never forget all those pregame predictions through out our past 2 SB runs...did any of them ever pick us to win even one game? Love being the underdog and rooting for the dog if it isnt us.
This is great:).
but it seems to me since the Giants 2007 season (or a few years earlier), the team without the bye has been winning more often than they did during the Parcells years and into the ‘90s.

The previous five seasons the teams with the byes have dominated. I don’t have the numbers handy, but it is overwhelming.
Particularly at home. I think the pressure weighs on them. Hope they can pull this together because the idea of the Titans or Texans in the Super Bowl is not very appealing. I doubt the Chiefs get out of this hole though.

Why wouldn't you want to see the Titans in the Super Bowl?

I don’t know the idea of watching Tannehill in a Super Bowl is not that appealing to me, especially compared to Mahomes. I know Henry is a fun player but overall I would prefer the Chiefs.
Also the Chiefs are a classic franchise and the Titans look like an arena league team.
So this is a spot when you need a solid run defense, and the Chiefs are poor in that area.
You have all the momentum and you have been running on them all game. Put your foot on their throats and go for it. You have to score more than 24 points in this game to beat them.
Yup and just an idiotic take by Romo saying it was a great call to fake the punt.
I mean if it had succeeded it would have been a genius call there. You don't usually plan for a 3rd string safety making a shoe-string open-field tackle.

fuck that up 24 nothing. DONT HAND THEM BACK MOMENTUM. make them earn it. its a bad play win or lose...
that video is embarrassing. your PLAYER had to hold back your coach from a fan...thats embarrassing.
here he fakes a punt up 24-0. this guy seriously could get fired for that call. fucking horrible
Pretty sure it was 24-7 but no matter, it was still a terrible decision. I'm still trying to figure out why he would call that and why Romo thought it was a great call.
Texans got up early thanks to a blocked punt for a TD and then a muff punt by hill . Chiefs came back with a huge return to put them in FG range to start down 24-0, then stopped them on a fake punt in their own 30, then a fumble on the texans kickoff setting up a TD to make it 24-21.
I feel pretty good right now hiring a top ST coach
Everything went to shit when O'Brien pussed out on 4th and inches Â

The week before, the Texans had manhandled the Patriots. Now it's halftime, and they're down 31-3 against the Broncos. I'm sure O'Brien was pissed off well before this exchange. So I don't fault him for that. If it was a player doing this, we'd be complimenting him on his passion.
RE: Everything went to shit when O'Brien pussed out on 4th and inches Â
Still not sure about that one myself. All the momentum in the world and a shot to crush them. Especially puzzling since he didn’t go for the FG against the Bills (which I agreed with).

id excuse a player before a coach. a coach is supposed to lead. not a good look when the face of the team is yelling at a drunk fan.
sorry, but its barely defensible. head coaches are supposed to maintain their composure and lead by example. this was a piss poor job of both duties. he is an asshole.
Probably a good gig though. Nice paycheck without any of the hassle of being famous.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I think ive watched ONE network program in the past 10 years and that is Modern Family. Everything else I watch is on HBO, AMC, Netflix, Amazon, etc.....
This week is the opposite. Three games so far that really weren't that competitive.
I agree that last weeks games were better but the Titans knocking off the beat team in football was impressive. And it was still competitive, Baltimore just couldn’t get in the RZ.
I had tonight’s game circled for a while now as hopefully the best game of the weekend. My 2 favorite QBs going head to head in some fairly cold weather.
... seriously, how can you hate Andy Reid? Yes, he’s no Belichick, but a solid coach and supposedly a good dude.
O'brien outchoked him
I don’t get the vitriol and glee about the old walrus being a choker ... 11-9 in the playoffs with a lot of the losses to Darth Vader (BB) ain’t so bad.
They were up 24-0 and are now down 20! I know we lost a 24 point lead at the Niners to lose a playoff game but this is a lot worse. They were up 24 points and could end up getting blown out

It all turned when O'Brien went all pussy and chose a FG over going for it on 4th and inches inside the 10 after they had been going up and down the field on them. You have to play aggressive vs a team with the firepower of KC. He handed them confidence at that point

KC does get credit for rallying but Houston was up 24-0 and then 24-7, and Bill O'Brien fakes a punt which is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in a playoff game...Houston did most of this to themselves

JJ Watt is also regarded as an all-time great defensive player, so Houston doesn't have that excuse. Plus they have an above average QB in Deshaun Watson who should be able to keep up if the game becomes a shootout
In which a team was up by 24 and wound up losing by 20? That HAS to be a first.
Definitely a first in the playoffs. Might have happened in the regular season at some point but I can't recall a team winning by 20+ and then losing by 20 in the playoffs
A team winning by 20+ points at some point in the game Â
Mahomes, Hill, Williams all hurt for long stretches this year. When they are all on the field — with Kelce, Watkins etc — this team stands with the Martz Rams as one of the most varied/complete offensive teams in modern history.
I couldn't stand O'Brien at psu. He did dumb stuff like that all the time and it bit them. He got a lot of fanfare for keeping the team together during that time, but few mentioned they hardly lost anyone and he made some of the worst personnel and coaching decisions I've ever seen. He continues to do so in Houston.The fake punt up 17 deep in your own territory is par for the course.
I'll take the Titans at +9. It's been 2 months since the Titans beat them and they have playing better than back then. I still think Chiefs win, but 9 points is a lot

I'm pretty sure it was not 24-0 at that point. It was either 24-7 or 24-14, but the point is the Chiefs had clearly grabbed the momentum at that point and Bill O'Brien was trying to reverse the momentum.
He clearly sensed the Chiefs were on a roll at that point and was trying to do something to quash the momentum. It came close to working that guy just made a spectacular tackle. But yeah, because it didn't work it look stupid as hell because it then added even moreso the KC momentum. You could see Bill O'Brien was nervous after that didn't work.
Fuller playing too. If he makes some big plays maybe they can hang in there.
If it was just Hopkins it’s a blow out.
But the wife has season tickets for the Texans...might be fun to go to a championship game
Not CBS.......

I think HOU would be like 1 point favorites.

Probably a blessing it's still the 1st quarter though. Or maybe not.
I think not Andy

their defense needs to tighten up first

Kicking that FG gave them some life

Now KC gets a TD.
Shades of Bills Oilers.
Yup

Risk/reward was too great IMO.
Maybe James Bettcher is giving Steve Spagnuolo advice on covering TE
How is it that the Texans can't cover Kelce?
I'm sure they'll ask Romeo at the post mortem.
Quote:
Kelce? He a tight end not OBJ or Amari Cooper. The guy is open every play. It is like nobody is paying ant attention to him.

You mean Romeo Crennel.

Spags has plenty of his own experience with failing to cover tight ends.
It's approaching a 20 year problem for NYG
Surprising. Guess it’s because they always lose.
And there was never a FG attempt over 50 yards? Wow.
I'll help you. It was some shit.
Well you do have to take into account that O'Brien is on the other side

I'd say the Chiefs will win handily but I won't doubt the Titans anymore.
That game was lost because they made zero adjustments in the 2nd half to give Seahorn help on T.O. and the blown calls on the final FG

But you're correct this is worse
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. To me this goes under the category of “heroic comebacks“ by one of the great young QBs ever.
Definitely a first in the playoffs. Might have happened in the regular season at some point but I can't recall a team winning by 20+ and then losing by 20 in the playoffs

I think the Chiefs are gonna blow them out. It’s a bad matchup for the Titans.
Only thing that gives me pause is Vrabel vs Reid.
