They've got as much chance as the other 7 teams fighting for 3 playoff spots. The last couple weeks of the regular season are going to be fantastic if there's still a ton of teams in contention.

Josh Allen reached the AFCCG in 2020, and in 2021 he put his team ahead of the chiefs with 13 seconds left. He has 19TDs/4int in 8 playoff games and a 100 qb rating, and that's with his first playoff game having 0 TDs and a 70 rating.
He is the 2nd best QB in the playoffs currently playing, and no one really pays attention to that, or makes fun of "Mr January" cause his defense couldn't stop the chiefs/bengals.
I think this whole Interception talk is absolutely asinine anyways. I'd rather have my QB taking more chances and scoring more points, even if that means he has 5-6 more Int over the season than average. They'll probably give MVP to some guy with 10 less TD's than the leader this year cause he only throws 4-5 interceptions like they did to Brady a couple years ago.
Interceptions are like completion %. It's not really an issue unless you go out of a certain range. Any completion percentage around 65% or better is fine and someone having 75% doesn't mean they're better. Same with INTs, anything under 20 seems fine to me as long as they guy is putting up points. Having an insanely low amount of interceptions doesn't tell me anything besides the QB probably plays way too cautious.
I enjoy this subreddit much less than years prior due to the number of posts about penalties.
I, along with most others here, still don't understand how he's only on the C team at CBS.
The 2nd best team in the AFC West fired their coach 2 weeks ago lol.
This cowboys/giants game just kinda seems mean. I'm not sure I've ever felt bad for a football team before at the start of a game.
MVP i'm going with Tua or Allen, whichever one can go on a heater and win the AFC East. Hurts if they both stumble. Lamar might not reach 20 passing TDs, Mahomes being hamstrung by a defense that's too good.
OPOY: Tyreek
DPOY: Probably whichever big name dude rips off the most sacks in the last half. plenty of good options.
COTY: Campbell if they get to 13-14 wins. If not Pederson/McDaniel maybe, or Sirianni if they win 15/16. Outside shot for Houstons coach if they somehow get to 10 wins as the voters love the shitty team that barely makes the playoffs.
CPOY: Chase Young (only cause I bet on him before the season at like 75:1 odds or some shit).
People say this every week, but is there any QB really playing clearly better than him this year? not really. The standard for what people expect from Mahomes is just crazy.
Panthers next HC, he's been middling for even longer than Reich.
As I was told by a Falcons fan vehemently, his usage is fine as this is how they planned to use him all year.
So apparently as long as you planned it beforehand, you can underuse your 1st round picks on their cheap rookie contract, but Hey, he's a RB so you really don't want to use him much while he's young, cause you want him around until he's 35 right.
I would like to see the Chiefs run Pacheco up the middle on 3rd and 1. I realize this sounds like crazy talk. You're saying to yourself, "everyone knows you run a long developing play on 3rd and 1 and throw a 40 yard pass downfield", but hear me out....what if we just run the ball for 1-2 yards then get a new set of downs?
I'd like to see them put in a rule that if the Division winner doesn't have a winning record, then the Wild Card team gets to host the game (being the 1st wild card team, I'd assume they'll always have 11 wins or so).
So winning your division is still important cause you get in the playoffs, but we don't need a 8-9 team hosting a 13-4 wild card or some shit.
