I think with the Falcons the offensive strategy worked, I just don't think they were prepared for us to get a TD on almost every possession. More of a clock management chess match 

I bet they averaged 10+ypc on power runs to the right. They were doing it at will. But for some reason they didn't just keep doing it. It was bizarre.

Some good NFC storylines:

-KOC vs. his old HC in LA

-Likely ROTY vs. Redemption (WAS v. TB)

-Eagles vs. Packers, finally without injuries (They never seem to play at full strength - I.E. Rypien game)

For the AFC, it's basically, can the Bills or Ravens take on KC? Can LAC play spoiler? And that's about it haha.

Honestly, I think the Bills are the best team in the league. But the best team doesn't always win the SB. Just feels like KC has had every lucky break fall their way and at some point it feels like those types of teams usually run out of luck. As great as Lamar is, I'll believe in playoffs Lamar once he puts together a couple of good playoff games in a row. There has historically been a massive Gulf of difference between regular season Lamar and playoffs Lamar.

Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

You're flexing because the QB of a 14-3 team had a bad game in a loss to a 15-2 team? Seriously? 😂

Definitely truth there about Lamar and BAL.  The AFC is KC's playground unless Allen or Lamar can overcome it.  I'm enjoying BUF this year, but KC just wins.  And Mahomes in the playoffs is the new Brady.  He just can't be denied.

Although, I think KC's biggest poison could be this LAC squad in the DIV round.  HOU seems to be limping in and just has too many holes right now.  But the Chargers stack up well and know how to play in KC.  Hope BAL-BUF happens in the DIV round.  

Think it'd be fun to see a KC-BUF AFCC (Allen finally beats KC in the big one) and a DET-LAR rematch NFCC (That high scorer this season felt like a premonition).    

BUF-DET The Battle of Lake Erie.  Sorry Browns lol.

Just a week ago it was you doing the flexing on behalf of that 14-3 QB now suddenly it's a problem to talk about him having his worst game since his time with the Jets heading into the playoffs. Bit hypocritical.

      No it's not saying Mahomes and Lamar suck, it does means they're throwing into tight windows less frequently which may be a reflection of their scheme or receivers   Exactly, I think this is the big difference with Bryce from last year and first two weeks. He was too hesitant to pull the trigger and not trusting himself to throw into tight windows.  Now he's just letting it rip and doing a great job.

      Yea one of the biggest reason people think you need to be a big body receiver to play outside is getting off of press but there are plenty of little guys that can get off press.  A lot of the best receivers in the league are definitely 6' or less.  Prioritizing height and weight with receivers is an old school mentality imo

      I agree with everything but the game manager part.  The opposing team ran against us constantly which offered less possessions and plays, which has an impact on putting up gaudy stats.  If you look at it though Young had some of the most "big time throws" of all qbs last year.  That's not a game manager stat.  I think if you're not a running qb and you can't throw 75 yards then some fans are going to put you down as a game manager.
