what wonderful games all weekend...  kc buf another one for the ages, what a magnificent game

agree with many of the sentiments expressed

ravens look like they are unbeatable... just much better than anyone else... defense is fierce, qb seems unstoppable

49ers 'best in nfc' but sooo many issues, sooo wobbly - they sure played well enough to lose to green bay

detroit is such a nice story, great to see that town get a treat in this terrific team, no matter how far they get this year

bills perenially snakebit, josh was brilliant but just not enough -- this was the year they should've taken down a very vulnerable chiefs team, but alas... never count out big andy and #15... what we watched was 100% championship pedigree on display

Cinderella is Detroit this year and has us wondering when does the clock strike midnight.  The Niners this year were the unbreakable juggernaut, then the very beatable frauds, then back to juggernaut, then back to a team that almost lost to GB.  Who knows what shows up on Sunday.

The anti Swifties are hilarious.  Who cares who watches games and who pop stars root for.  A Titanic meeting of the team that's been in the last six AFC conference championships and the upstart Ravens is a fantastic story.  However I'm reminded of the advice from Rocky, the first one.  No women before the fight, they rob your legs!

I'll throw in with the Ravens. Watched 2 or 3 games this year with them. Very impressed. Just a solid team all around. The others will need perfect games to beat them if they're on their game.

Question as you guys are the "Pros from Dover" on this topic - So why did Allen attempt a TD pass into fairly tight coverage when he had two receivers open on the left side of the field both past the first down marker, with approx 1:50 on the clock ? Particularly with the somewhat questionable efficiency of their place kicker. Was that a bench call, or just a missed/bad decision in the heat of the moment by Josh. I was rooting for them, but congrats to KC, on that day they were the better team.

Agree that it will take a lot to handle Lamar & the Ravens, here's wishing the Lions a win.

i have no idea but my best guess is the latter...  josh allen clearly plays largely instinctively and he likes to roll the dice...  immensely talented but hardly a thinking-man's qb... 

furthermore when a play is sent in over the helmet radio is called, the qb goes through his scanning of receivers and his choices real time based on the coverage that evolves ... the play call doesn't dictate where he goes with ball

Allen was facing pressure from Chris Jones on his left side.  That closes off the options on that side if the defense is right in your face as Jones was.  If you can dodge that pressure it's the opposite and opens up the side that the rush is coming from, but Jones was bum rushing the O lineman into Allen's lap.

Thanks gents  Somehow I'd missed the left side pressure, surprising given the number of cameras, & replays, must have been distracted.

Thanks for the 'inside' info jj, wasn't aware of that bit.

Chiefs/Lions?

[rlee8394]

I’d like to see that match. Ravens picked a hell of a time to play their worst game of the season.

My Lions..

Yep, the 49ers woke up.
The Chiefs are going to have their hands full but I think they'll do it.

Two great playoff football games.  My only dog in the fight were my pool picks from my two decade old office pool where none of us have worked for many years.  I got all four games right last week and picked the Niners and Chiefs this week.  But I was actually rooting for the Lions for no more reason than they played so tough.  Then they didn't, giving up seventeen points in eight minutes.  Umm, Cinderella, that clock is striking midnight.

Ravens-Chiefs was another great game.  Two very well matched teams, two Hall of Famers at QB, the difference being the tight end position in both receiving and blocking.  Kelce outpaced the returning Andrews by a wide margin and proved to be the difference in the final score.  This must have driven the people upset about a certain female pop star crazy, especially seeing her and that player she's friends with having PDAs on the sidelines after the game.
