Has there ever been a luckier and more fortunate team than this year's Chiefs teams? My lord they keep finding new ways to win a game when they shouldn't. 

The 2022 Vikings give them a run for their money.

And not only did the Chiefs win, they clinched a playoff spot at 11-1. We're 11-1 and and haven't clinched a playoff spot, which is stunning that we could be 11-1 and still be in the running to miss the playoffs (albeit it very unlikely). Not the Chiefs though, their 11-1 record clinches them a playoff spot.

And where's this AFC playoff gauntlet I see some pundits talk about? The only good teams I see are Buffalo, KC, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. And Baltimore and KC seem to be a step or two back from last year.  The #4, #6 and #7 teams right now are Houston, LA Chargers and Denver.

The NFC's top 4 teams are Detroit, Philly, Minnesota and Green Bay. I think Detroit and Philly match Buffalo and KC. I guess Pittsburgh and Baltimore are better than Minnesota and Green Bay, but not by a ton. Houston, LA Chargers and Denver don't seem any tougher to me than Washington, Atlanta and the Seahawks (or San Francisco).

Bills/Lions might be a Super Bowl preview by kickoff of that game, at least if bettors know what they're doing.

Except that Buffalo is likely to see some a bunch of 2nd stringers, depending on how quickly some guys can come back, as well as if Alex or Hutch could be ready by SB.

The Commanders just released their 1st rd pick from last year Emmaneul Forbes. He was somebody I liked going into the draft in 2023 and thought could've been an option in the 2nd round(surprised he went in the 1st), I don't know if he is a fit here or not given his relative thin frame and lack of physicality but I know he had great ball skills coming out of college and with all the injuries we have going on he could be a high reward type of pick up.....if somebody else doesn't get to him first which I'm sure they will just cause of the upside.

Look at all of these last-possession games.    This league is fixed, man.     Eberflus was paid a lot of money to play the fool in the story.  None of it is real.    The league makes more money with the lowly Detroit Lions getting good and building up sympathy and sales.   That's all it is.   Dan Campbell is a character.   Jared Goff is a Human Interest Story.  Jaymo's the unrly teenager.    Fake, man,  Fake.

SF looks really bad.

Like, possibly easiest game remaining bad.

Since 2019 they've played in 12 playoff games.  It can take it's toll.      It hasn't with KC, but KC has done a better job of cycling players out for new players.     SF is just wore down.   So many injuries.   Plus contract holdouts with key players.  It all adds up.    That's why the Lions window is pretty short with another couple of years.   The lovefest won't continue forever,  you're going to end up with guys who start holding out and complaining about this and that.   They key is drafting.  I trust Brad Holmes with this.  If he keeps drafting the way he has, the team should always be relevant.   If Brad Holmes keeps doing this, we'll think of 10-7 or 9-8 as a terrible season.

The Raiders started this game with Ameer Abdullah as their starting RB. 

I remember those days fondly when the Lions running back duo was Double-A and Double-Z.
