Kudos to the Chiefs.  They have completely turned their season around.  In a much better way than the Broncos have completely turned their season around.

 

saw on espn that the last team to go 1-5 to start the season and then make the playoffs was a paul brown coached cincinnati team back in 1970. that's pretty good company to keep.

[Tank]

For laughs just go read tennessee football message boards

 

are they still pissed at lane kiffin? if so, that'd be worth the read all by itself.

[Brandon]

There were a few articles (SI and ESPN) about the Chiefs being scary or kind of a "why not?" with regards to the Super Bowl. Kind of a trip to see what the team has accomplished this year, especially with their offensive (Charles) and defensive (Houston) MVP's out for the season or a good chunk....plus the worst o-line in the league (lead the league in sacks). Random shit too like Poe coming off back surgery in the summer, Johnson coming off a blown knee, and Berry coming back from cancer treatment.

 

Speaking of firsts, it's the first time -the Royals and Chiefs have both made the playoffs in the same season.

 

I'm not high on the Chiefs, but every team in the playoffs look beatable.

trying to figure out how a saints loss to the falcons in the NFC helps the colts in the AFC.

 

anyone?

[nate]

Has to be strength of schedule. It is bizarre

[Brandon]

I made the comment yesterday.

 

It has to be that. NO won and ATL lost to someone that alters the SOS.

[Tank]

that makes sense. thanks.

I would love to see this whole list happen except for the very first one at the top. Would be classic.

I said the same thing last night.  Or if all the rest happens and then the last game doesn't go their way.

[nate]

Lets try this again in the correct thread -- Chip Kelly fired.  Strange for it to happen with just one game left.

[Brandon]

Weird. Chiefs/Raiders game will be on Fox. I don't remember the last time they hosted an all AFC game. I wonder why CBS isn't carrying it.

[arch stanton]

This is the only week where every team plays on Sunday. Maybe they CBS doesn't have enough crews for all the AFC games this week.

[Brandon]

I thought every team plays the first few weeks then byes kick in around week 4?

 

Edit: I stopped being a lazy ass and looked it up, and probably should have guessed since I spoke with family there and they mentioned the game was moved from 10am our time to 1:25 our time. The NFL pulled the game and moved it up so that play/kickoff is the same time as the Broncos game with the Broncos game on CBS and the KC game on Fox.

 

Kind of cool, I suppose.

That is strange... usually it's CBS for AFC and Fox for NFC.

 

Normally there is a night game on NBC, a Thursday game on NBC/NFLN and Monday game on ESPN so maybe Fox gets the leftovers.

[Brandon]

I updated it. They want the Broncos and Chiefs to play at the same time and have viewers flipping back and forth.

[Angel Oracle]

Strange to not have a Saturday game the last weekend of the regular seaon

Seems like that hasn't happened for quite a while.

[Tank]

I updated it. They want the Broncos and Chiefs to play at the same time and have viewers flipping back and forth.

They may also want both games to be played at full strength so that they don't have one team saying "phew, they already lost/won so we can put in all our second stringers since this game no longer matters."

They did the same thing with Carolina/Tampa who are now playing the same time Arizona plays in the afternoon since the 1 seed is up for grabs.

Soccer in Europe has been doing it for years and the MLB adopted it last year, having every team start their games at the same time on the final game of the season.

Makes for fun scoreboard watching and the players not sure where they are fully at while playing.

Dolphins / colts were on fox last week

They've been doing this for a few years. Maybe due to flex scheduling ?

I know what bastards. Fingers crossed for no serious injuries sunday. I swear the cardinals are cursed
