If the versions we saw of them on Sunday shows up in the playoffs they're cleaning the Chiefs out. That Chiefs offense didn't look nowhere near capable of dropping 40 points.
They will get alot of juice when Rice and Worthy are back in a few weeks. That offense will look completely different, they just need to limp along until then

Which hasn't mattered against any of those teams when they've met in the playoffs.

It's a new season. The Chiefs let Herbert pop off on them and played from behind the entire week 1. The legend of Pat and Andy can only get so much credit. I don't think that Josh nor Lamar see him as the Boogeyman that he's been in the past. The Bills were really bad refs and a dropped catch from taking out the Chiefs last season at home in the AFC championship game. If Harbs or McDermott don't do anything categorically idiotic they'll both be in the AFC championship.

As Kelce has gotten older and more guardable that offense has gotten less and less effective......low key so has Pat.

Which doesn't matter as we've seen how it plays out the past couple of years.

At this point, they're going to have to prove it as they're not going to get the maybe or benefit of a doubt that they can do it anymore nor should they after how people hyped them up to beat the Chiefs only to not come through.

I ain't mad at your logic about it. I just don't automatically assign a team's past to their current season if they don't look capable of it.

They lost to their division rival and didn't look good doing it. Last season, Pat didn't have Pat's numbers, but the team looked GOOD from jump specifically the defense. On Sunday, Ladd and Johnston was doing whatever they wanted. There's a good chance they'll be down 2 games to 2 different teams in the AFC west after Sunday. That's not a team I'm automatically assigning playoff greatness too regardless of their history...... especially if they lose to Baltimore in week 4.

Not that this is some crazy and unheard of prediction, but baring major injuries, I'd say Eagles v.s. Chiefs/Bills is the heavy favorite for a Super Bowl match-up. The Eagles are clearly the best team in the NFC. The Chiefs have been there time after time and the Bills have Josh Allen. I can't say the Ravens until I see it with my own eyes.
A fluke fumble by Baker Mayfield is what secured the Eagles’ trip. Dont sleep on them Bucs. My Bucs.

@skyrunner1 this true?

And even if so, who cares lol. Did he quit today? Nah. His bum ass coach, trash tackle, and WR let him down. Granted, he need to chill with the drifting, especially in certain situations, but the majority wasn't his fault. And sorry to tell you, the way you carry yourself will have people giving you a longer rope & not be rooting on ya downfall :yeshrug:
