When my team is out of the playoffs, I root for the underdogs. Now there’s only one sixth seed left. I guess that’s my surrogate team, now.

The Vikings looked awful. Congrats to the 49ers for moving on. I’m pulling for Emmanuel Sanders to get another ring.

Texans at Chiefs - If it’s the playoffs and the Chiefs are playing at Arrowhead... bet against them. The Chiefs need to prove they can win at home consistently in the playoffs and they haven’t done that yet . I don’t think this will be the year they will , either.

Seahawks at Packers - I know Russell Wilson is having an MVP-level year, but my gut tells me it won’t be enough today. Who knows? I’ve been wrong before. If the Packers come out flat like the Ravens did and the Seahawks can take the lead early, they could do it.

It’s possible that both the AFC and NFC Championship games could be between division rivals.  That’s never happened since the 2002 realignment.  Cool!

I just hope the first game is a good one. I guess I’d prefer the Chiefs for no particular reason.

Go Seachic kens in the late game. Because they’re not the Packers.

I was just texting my friend that this is KCs best opportunity to ever reach a super bowl with the Ravens and Patriots already out.

They're losing 21-0 lol

KC is just plotting a 28-3 style come back right?

They got to get thru the second quarter though. Oy, they just tried a fake punt and failed. Why!???

Wow, the Chiefs and Texans are both trying to lose in different ways.

I don't know, the Texans are trying their best to let KC back in.

That could have been a Ravens fan too.

Or something. Can't believe the Texans tried that fake punt.

What the hell was O’Brien thinking there???????

WilliamsSW > fhrblig 01/12/2020 at 16:17

Took me a while to figure whether that was a Raven or Viking fan lol

Probably “LOOK HOW SMART I AM!” Followed quickly by “Fuck, why did I do that?”

AestheticsInMotion > fhrblig 01/12/2020 at 16:38

Probably even more so with the expectations for the Ravens. For a minute there I was thinking the chiefs had succumbed to the same condition... What a 2nd quarter!

Well, at least it didn’t cost them. Oh, wait.

  This is one of those games that people will be talking about 30 years from now, I think.

Don’t go thinking Andy  Reid isn’t able to make bad choices too. It’s the playoffs!

Thanks. Nice to know I’m not missing anything.

On the bright side, we have a dress!

And now KC is trying to one-up the fuck-ups-manship with the penalty after TD and the missed PAT

Let’s check in on Pat:

In all seriousness though this season’s playoff games have been fantastic so far . Seattle-Philly was the worst, but even that was entertaining. What a weird season

Chiefs are the new meme team

What the fuck is the chiefs Texans game

I will laugh my ass off if they win this crazy game and then lose to the Titans next week.

Crazy. Fun to be a Chiefs fan today!

Fortunately for me, my team never loses big leads in the playoffs. They either win games they aren't supposed to or get utterly destroyed

What a crazy half, and a ridiculous swing of emotions for both of us.

Fucking painful.  I was telling everyone that would listen that we needed to take every advantage to score, because eventually Andy Reid would figure it out and unleash hell’s fury through their offense.  I was correct, but I didn’t realize that our defense would turn into field mice.

That fake punt was up there with the all-time worst coaching decisions in NFL playoff history.
