They are not the Pats of days gone bye. Don't misunderstand me they are an amazing team. We are nipping at their heals every time we play them. We have a compentant team.

Perhaps.
I mean no one has me feeling all tingely but the Jags are the only team I don't want to face.

you know what’s crazy the fact that Aaron Rodgers is about to take the pack to the super bowl after suffering that clavical injury pretty crazy but I think GB goes to the SB with him back and Carson wentz down a lot of young teams without a lot of playoff experience in the NFC but we will see

The jags scare me but then again that team hasn’t played in a playoff game in quite some time and they’re pretty young veteran teams with players at major positions like QB tend to roll over teams who are new to the post season with QBs like Blake Bortles but that’s just my take

It's going to be really hard for them to get there. If he does it though it might be top 5 in the most amazing comebacks I have ever seen in sports.

I'm rooting for the Pats. I want the Steelers to lose to the Pats and then for Texans or Browns to pull the upset. That way they can lose their first round bye week.

Right?!?! Lol, if our pass-rush couldn't get to Ben, what makes people think we'll get to Brady (that is IF we make the playoffs) when Carr and Mosley got exposed big time against PIT?

I REALLY want to be proven wrong on this, but I think our season is over since I don't see us winning 3 straight to end the season. That being said, as far as key games are concerned:
Chargers at Chiefs
Dolphins at Bills
Titans at 49ers
Cowboys at Raiders
The ideal scenario would be for us to win our next two, Chiefs win their next two, and the Bills lose their next two. I'm sure that would clinch us a playoff spot.

Steelers OL and wrs are better than the Pats. Also, Ben for a fat guy is pretty nimble. Brady can't keep plays alive like that. Where our rushers might have to play more contain, on Brady you can flat out rush. Our cbs match up well with their current group of weapons and their defense is prone to give up yards. Pees has shown he can "contain" Brady with a competent secondary. Pretty sure a few of their pass rushers are injured too. Just looks like a good match up.
Speed of the Chiefs worries me and Rivers has shown he can dismantle our defense numerous times. Jags are just a damn bully now. If i had a choice I'd avoid those teams until necessary, if we make it.
The Gilmore signing is looking like wasted money.

Brady may not keep plays alive like that, but he gets rid of the ball rather quickly, even quicker than Ben so our pass-rush will be nullified. As far as the secondary is concerned, I'm not sure that Carr will keep up with both Cooks or Hogan.
As for the Chiefs, this is where Bowser would come in handy in coverage. Kelce will get his, but if this defense don't miss any tackles, we should be able to contain Hunt. Besides, Alex Smith doesn't like throwing deep.
Without Jimmy, our defense will not hang with the Chargers and there's nothing more to be said about the Jags.
Again, that is IF we make the playoffs.

I disagree. The Pats haven’t had the #1 offense for no reason. Brady this year has been very good evading rushers in the pocket. Not sure why you underestimate their WR. We have no one to stop Gronk. No one. Or their RBs. Now they’ve added Britt and I’m very interested to see how much playing time he gets. If Britt can find last years form, the combo of Cooks and Britt is very good, as well as hogan and Amendola. Quit sleeping on the #1 offense in the league

It’s so hard for me to root against the Chargers though

I respect Rivers, but they're such a shitty organization. From letting their best players go to Weddle getting fined for that BS, it's easy for me to root against them. Especially since they're competing for a Wild Card spot like we are? I mean, come on now.
However, I will say this. If the Chiefs lose tonight, I hope they lose at least one more game and go 8-8 so they're out of the way.
