Chiefs have a game against the Bills soon. If they pull it off, the rest of their regular season is against a bunch of garbage to mediocre teams.

On the road if you have 1 play to win it you should roll the dice on it. But he’s a defensive HC. They tend to be more cautious than aggressive.
He's ass and should have been fired weeks ago.

At least we got a point!

Yep. Always him. Like same with Philly and Lane Johnson too.

The SE has to get around Kelce which with the early movement allows the RT to be set to engage the DE .

Yea, even ignoring going for it on 4th, if the Chiefs knew the needed to keep moving forward or lose they'd have just run the ball for a first down and used a timeout on 2nd or 3rd down.
If chiefs have no time outs, they probably go for 2

Yes. It's the same shit I saw growing up watching Tom Brady rule over the league with an iron fist

Everyone gets so scared of the f***ing guy they start to overthink things and end up screwing themselves over.

You either go for the two and whatever happens, happens. Or you gamble on a combo of having to try and win a coin toss in OT and then if that fails, pray you can stop Mahomes in OT who tends to get a bullshit stat boost in situations like that.

8-0 start despite offense looking like shit most of year, AFC should be terrified that Chiefs are still 8-8 despite looking so bad

I’d look at the opposite

Everyone is all over them how awesome they are and they haven’t looked dominating at all, so if after week 8 you still haven’t it lowers the chances for sudden change.

So if Ravens/Bills ever want to win them this is their year

Should TB have gone for 2 in the final minute?
50/50 on winning the coin toss.

Their OC should have planned for a 2 point play vs the KC D. So, they 100% get to run that. Whether they are successful or not, who knows.

Then, onside kick recovery is like 9%.

Bowles is an older former DC, so more conservative.

I appreciate that Mike McDonald, a former DC and younger guy, of Seattle with 4th and 1 at around the Rams 20 in OT opted to go for it to continue the drive to get that game winning TD, vs allow the Rams the chance. I just didn't like the slow developing run play called by the OC. Had he just kicked the FG, Rams ultimately scored a TD on their possession which would have won the game anyways.

So, there is making the right decision (Which SEA did and TB didn't). But, no guarantee that it works out for your team. Still need the right play call and execution.

So random thought here ; who is everyone's COTY so far? For me its a toss up between Dan Campbell and Dan Quinn. Would probably give it to Quinn. If the Cards continue trending up then their coach will have a case as well. All 3 have done great jobs thus far.

I'd go with Quinn or O'Connell, I don't think either of their teams had high expectations, and the Vikings took a further hit when they had to go to Darnold
