I think we should say "lol" more than we do. Especially in the game day thread. It's painfully underused. It's must be wonderful to laugh out loud as much as you guy's do.

I can't believe I never used the multi quote button. I can't imagine having to scroll down and read individual posts. This must have been pure torture.

I absolutely love the cute nick names you guy's give players. "Herbie" and "Fraudgers" so adorable.

I’ve tried and failed to use the multi quote in the past. Plus I rarely read multi quoted posts. Not sure why. Old probably

I've tried too. It doesn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a Two Plus Two thing or user error. The idea that someone should get banned for not doing it is silly.

Painful is strong, but to each their own.

Laughter is nature's medicine.

It's overrated.

last Sunday Stafford became the first QB ever w four TD passes and zero INTs in three straight games


Thats a pretty sick run. His team is so stacked but he should probably win mvp.

Denver is a team that will win 8 or 9 games in a row and get right back into things. Sean Payton teams seem to always start off slow.

1. Broncos

(No, really)

They showed they can matriculate the ball if they can just get the plays in on time.

This is a very well deserved bye week for the Broncos. They will get PS2 and maybe Alex Singleton back afterwards. Yes, the defense will be even better.

The Lil Jordan Humphrie signing is sneaky big. He is a fantastic blocker. This will allow Pat Bryant to get more targets instead of having to block. We saw what he can do today.

I think RJ Harvey is gonna come out of the bye and play very well.

Also, we will eventually get Ben Powers back in a few weeks.

Gentlemen! I have seen the future AFC playoff seeding and it's glorious:

1. Pats
2. Broncos
3. Colts
4. Steelers
5. Bills
6. Ravens
7. Chiefs

Bills, Chiefs and Ravens are on a 6-1 tear and no one wants to play any of them.

Bills, Ravens Chiefs all win, setting up Pats vs. Chiefs and Bills vs. Ravens in the divisional round.

Ultimately leading to Bills vs. Chiefs in the AFCCG just like we all predicted.


Refs (Goodell) keeps letting mahomes get 3rd and long and chucking hailmarys to get 50 yard DPIs and sure, Chiefs will get there. But not today Suzzer.

In all seriousness, I know you called me out in game thread but yes the Broncos got a couple of calls sure. But the chiefs got two massive ticky tack calls in super high leverage spots. They were potentially game changing plays and luckily Denver was able to overcome them. I know that Bonito and Cooper are fantastic edge rushers, but they were getting held relentlessly.

Either way it was a great game, and I fully expect the chiefs will still be there at the end. Denver will again have to overcome that demon for sure.


Denver has a top tier defense and a good kicker.


The currently #9 seeded Chiefs may get eliminated by their awful tie-breaker situation.

At 2-4, the Chiefs' conference record is worse than any playoff contender. (Ravens are 3-3, everyone else is at least 4-2).

The Chiefs also lose the heads-up tie breaker to the Bills, Chargers, and Jaguars who are currently the three wild card teams (of course, the Chiefs and Chargers will play again).

Chargers won that one, and then its division which chargers are already 4-0? At least 3-0. So its unlikely chiefs catch them on that. The AFC is sick as you have two perennial top teams running a bit bad and are fighting for playoff spots.

Colts are the wildcard imo. I have no true feel on where theyre at.


All the best to Mickey Mantle Kosar on the transplant today.
