The Raiders should be able to put up 45 on us so I would say they have a decent chance of winning.
There's just way too much pressure on the Chiefs offense knowing they have to be perfect to win a game.
How much does the terrible recent playoff record weigh on KC ? Has it reach boston bruins vs. montreal level ? I can remember growing up just knowing that however well we did as soon as we met the canadiens our season was over It was a given that something was going to happen and it was going to go against us.

I think there is very little chance of that happening, but you never know. That Miami loss looms bigger each week 😩. Several lower seed teams in the AFC could give the Chiefs problems in the playoffs. The Pats road to the SB would be difficult in a road game based on the way they are playing.
Raiders beating the Chiefs is a long shot but it can happen, especially with Andy Reid, I meen it’s protocol for his teams to fade towards the end of the season

True but the Chiefs have lost two in a row as well. Even if they they don't get #1 we've seen where it ends up working in their favor anyways,just look at 2016 with KC&NE one and two in the seeding, the Chiefs then lost to the Steelers and NE played the AFCCG at home.
I just noticed that there's a chance that the Chargers can still land the #1 seed along with the AFCW division title next week with a Chargers win & Chiefs loss. The Pats would be sol in that scenario with no shot at the #1 seed.

You are kidding.......Raiders......45 points......does not compute.
Andy Reid teams have history of starting strong and losing it at the end of the season. The young quarterback might be a key to breaking that pattern, but I can’t see them losing to the Oakland Teddy Bears in a home game that means something. The Patriots may have seen better days, but they are still a formidable force at home. KC has already lost a game there this season. They won’t want to repeat that.

NE's defense is only giving up 17pts a game since the bye week. That last play in the Miami game and the flags last week in Pittsburgh have overshadowed their bend but don't break defense.
And can you believe the Offense is just as questionable as the D? I think it is, I think you will see a smart team key up on those RB’s and that will be a problem
Buffalo on defense is one of the "smart teams" They ranked 1st in Total Defense,1st in Pass Defense & 9th in Run Defense and the Pats run game just steamrolled them repeatedly thru that game. Buffalo knew it was coming and could do nothing about it. Running the ball not only opens up their play action but it also keeps their own defense off the field.
Last week in Pittsburgh they all but gave up on running the ball in that first half then resorted to it later when their passing game was getting them nothing. We lost a WR,Gronk has ankle issues and some of Brady's throws have been off lately so morph into a power run game and stick with,IMO. Today was the results of doing that against one of the best defenses in football.
I totally agree that the hope is for the Pats to morph into a power running team.
This is an opportunity for McDaniels to show how good he is. We have the personnel. This analysis of the Buffalo game is,imo, spot-on.

Sony Michel is the only guy who will handle 20 carries, White and Burkhead don’t fit the mold for power running game backs. They absolutely need to keep those guys healthy.
This was their power run game broken down and 21 carries from Burkhead & White shouldn't get either guy hurt. Not to mention after this Jets game on sunday is when the games start that they need to be healthy for. If they get the bye they'll have two weeks to rest up then McDaniels can run them into the ground if it means advancing to the next game,then do it again and so on.
When I originally mentioned i wanted to see them commit to a power run game it wasn't meant to have a Jerome Bettis/Legarette Blount type RB handling the ball. I meant having the Oline,Gronk,Allen & Develin all making a hole for every was in handling the ball on that play.

Pats have who is perceived by their fans to be the greatest QB since Graham yet their best chance to win is to hand the ball off to a mediocre running back? Something does not compute.

Brady is hurt and they are covering it up . Gronk is hurt also . Both look like they are at 50% or so. 50% of Brady is better than 100% of Hoyer so Tom has to play.
Can you imagine if we had a good backup still how much pressure there would be on Brady to sit his Bledsoe on the bench

It does not matter how good the quarterback is. When you throw too often, even in the current pass happy NFL, you are going to fail. The run game might seem dull, but without it, there is no way to keep the defense honest. Pass, rushing and play action are all required to mount a successful offense.

Basically what Bronco just said. Speculation here in NE is Brady either sprained an MCL or had some type of knee issue weeks ago that had him on the weekly injury report awhile and could still be causing problems for him now.
If you had any clue about the New England Patriots and how they scheme their offense on a given week depending on who their opponent is then you'd know that they might throw it 45 times one week and run it 45 times the next.
Pats fans think he's the greatest because he's wins almost 80% of his games not because he throws for 400yds whenever he wants.
Mediocre running backs my ass. Sony Michel averages more rushing yards per game than any other rookie RB not named Saquon Barkley and James White has more receptions than most team's #1 WR. When these two are the focal point on offense they've won almost every game.
Pats fans think is the greatest because he wins 80% of his games
And because he wins a high percentage of the big games.
That’s what separates Brady from the Curt Cousins of the world. He’s been dependable for years. He has not won all of the big games, partly because he’s gotten the Pats into so many of them, but he’s won some very memorable games, like the first SB against St. Louis and the Atlanta SB comeback. That is what has made he greater than his stats which are impressive enough.

Why is that? That loss was not on Brady’s shoulders. Belichick was out coached, especially with the “Philly Special” the end of the half.
The only loss I bitterly regret was a SB loss to the stinkin’ Giants that cost the Pats a perfect season. I still say what the Pats did that year was more remarkable than what that Dolphins team did. The Pats a longer (14 vs. 16 games) and a much harder regular season schedule. The Dolphins were in a weak division and faced very few tough teams in the regular season.

I wasn't blaming Brady......just saying that they should have won. And I totally agree with you on the Miami thing! Every year when someone goes deep into the season without a loss and the talking heads bring up Miami. Makes me PUKE! If I remember correctly there wasn't many teams with winning records on their schedule that year. What the Pat's did was way better. The Giants should not have even been there!!!
He has looked inconsistent but the one thing I’ve noticed more and more is he really is doing whatever he can to avoid contact, almost to the point where he dives to the ground before a sack happens.

Agreed but that could just be a 41yr old not wanting to get hit in general not because of a knee issue.

I definitely agree that that is more than likely it, I just don’t know what to believe regardless if Brady says he is good or not. Either way he is not “As good” as he has been, we can chalk it up to being 41 but then again if he looks like he is in pro bowl form and they miraculously make a strong playoff run it will be business as usual in Patriots Nation
I think he goes down when he feels a sack is inevitable.
Recently, when questioned about if he is hurt, he said he would take being in this condition at this time of the season every year. But I interpret that as even if he is hurt at least he can play.
This is why that 2 seed is so important for them. Having an extra week to rest is greatly needed just in the case of Brady,Gronk & Edelman dealing with different ailments.

Hard to think Kittle won’t be a go to TE regardless who is QB. Too bad he wasn’t included in the Jimmy G trade
We will beat the Jets today right? 😳
