For all you new-school fans: Do I have to say it?

[top dawg]

Defense wins championships!

[TheRumGone]

Having both your starting tackles out loses championships. Oh and the refs in the first half.

[Eazy-E]

Na the NFL just sucks now. 
 

If the Panthers were to ever leave the Carolinas I’d be done watching the NFL.

Having Tom Brady doesn't hurt either

[Pup McBarky]

Sure. Defense + refs + turf toe + 2nd string OL.

[davos]

Maybe this win propels TB to retire and it's open season in the NFC.

He was already the GOAT, Mahomes would've been crowned this new perennial GOAT.  I think we're in fine position if we can figure out the QB position in good order. We'll see.

Sure. As long as the opposing team is having to play musical chairs along the OL and just had a massive distraction of having an assistant coach and son of the HC damn near slaughter a family drunk driving. You know, if you have all that fall into place, defense wins championships. Oh, and it certainly doesn't hurt if the refs are openly cheering for you.

[Mr. Scot]

An eight to one advantage in penalties called against you doesn't exactly hurt either.

I don't believe the NFL is rigged, but damn that was an ugly performance.

Not you too Scot? Come on, man.

If KC had their starting offensive line this would have been a competitive game. Mike Remmers was the starting LT for the chiefs

When you've got commentators and even former officials willing to call out the refs, it's a bad look.

They really didn't though. Nate Burleson was sounding like a hater.

[45catfan]

Complete teams win championships.  I had a feeling going into the game that the Chiefs D was going to be their down fall.

[Madwolf]

I'll say it again. Watson, Mahomes, Brady. You obviously need an offensive line to win playoff games.

You need a good QB and line, and luck with injuries.

That's one reason I don't want to lose picks just for a QB this year, because then we'll be 1 of 2 for years all over again.
