Just can't get behind the Chiefs....too many years a Raiders fan....
I had a simple solution to that. My dad was in the army and we moved a lot. 5th grade was my first school year with tv since we didn't have one in Germany the previous 4 years. Came back to the US and all that was on in my area (Nashville stations) was the big national games. I set my favs based on this and since I continued to move around the country, never getting to see 'my' teams, frequently because they sucked, except baseball but they never won it all and basketball and they won all the time, I could adopt other teams. I have a number of teams that I would like to see win but have my favs and well they have been winning this century.

Moving a lot, a month after I was born and never been back allows me to have lots of teams I can cheer for and most aren't local to where I am now.

As to the game, Dak did a great job moving the team down for the tying touchdown and the 2-point conversion. That will help the team next year. Those three 50+ yard FGs (two of which counted) are what won the game for the cheeseheads. Catch was fine, the footwork was outstanding.

Now this game has 5 FGs by the Steelers. KC is allowing a bend don't break defense but the offense needs to get back on track.

Game is done, Chiefs needed that 2pt conversion. Short of a turnover or onside kick recovery, Steelers are going to Foxborough

Andy Reid proved once again he's a limited coach. The play calling was shit until they got creative at the very end.
A lot of stupid up-the-middle run calls that got stuffed too. Too many legit penalties ... when it mattered.

Steelers played harder and deserve a trip to the Championship Game.

Rodgers and Brady in the big one.......now THAT would be tits....
That would be good, but there is a guy named Matt Ryan in the way. Atlanta is pretty healthy right now, Green Bay not so much. Should be a good game.

I bet Stuwee is Stewin' LMAO!!! I expect to hear some rage coming from Arizona
After a few days to calm down, I'm beyond disappointed but, will still await next year...Finally two young leaders, full of integrity and an understanding of the game few many years older attain.

Dallas GB game.jpg taken by a bud at the game, they had to stay long after the game for severe weather warnings. Arrowhead%20sad.jpg This from Arrowhead in KC by another bud over at Polk Audio, I love this pic!!!! Waaaaay cool


I Hated the Pack long before, now they are so far off the chart of hate...I hope those sneaky Falcons go to show. I'm afraid I'll be a temp Steelers fan till 2/5.

Any year the Raiders and Cowboys are knocked out of the playoffs is a good year in my book. :thumbright:

I hope the rest are good games. I am not pulling for anyone, but it would be nice if the Falcons or Packers win it all.

I expect the Pats will beat the Steelers handily but you just never know, that Bell is something else. Rothesburger's noodle arm is their weak point so I expect the STeelers to mainly run the ball with maybe a few slant passes or read only options

I have not been following the Steelers what happened to Ben's arm?
He does not have the consistent decisive zip he used to have, too many injuries over the years have taken their toll. I expect him to retire in a year or two

Teams that get 'hot' when it counts, heading into the playoffs, are what make it exciting.
We've seen it time and time again.

Apart from the Patriots, the rest of the contenders all demonstrated ramp-ups in the final weeks.
It's just the way God planned it.

As a side note, the Raiders and Cowboys aren't going away anytime soon ...
