Yep.

Yep.

Patriots got their coach, yay!

He hasn't played a game since Christmas Day. Most of the starters haven't. Rusty, maybe. But there isn't a healthier team heading into this weekend.

Not trying to flood but this is the time to talk about the last 4 games. And the bye should really benefit the Chiefs here. https://atozsports.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-news/all-chiefs-players-practice-on-first-injury-report-vs-texans/ Observations: Chris Jones logging a full practice is an excellent sign that he'll be playing in this game. Jones injured his calf against the Texans back in Week 16 and sat out the Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as Week 18 against Denver with all the other starters. Jaylen Watson also appears to be making his return from an ankle injury that he suffered back in Week 7. He has practiced for about two weeks now since K.C. opened his 21-day practice window. Coach Andy Reid did mention while speaking to the media on Tuesday that Watson may be on a bit of a snap count, but having him back in any capacity will be a boost for Chiefs' secondary. It looks like the Chiefs are still taking things slowly with Mecole Hardman, but even a limited practice is a step in the right direction. If he's able to practice in full in either of the next two days, he could have a shot to play this week, but he'll have to be activated off of injured reserve. Al-Shaair's status will be closely monitored as he is one of the leaders of Houston's defense. The Chiefs avoided him in Week 16 as Al-Shaair was serving a three-game suspension. It has already been reported that starting right guard Shaq Mason will not play in this game as he continues to recover from a knee injury. His backup, Juice Scruggs, also missed practice on Tuesday, so the Texans appear to be quite thin at that position heading into Saturday. Veteran Robert Woods also did not practice on Tuesday. With how thin the Texans are at receiver, being without Woods would not be ideal. Denico Autry and tight end Dalton Schultz are key players who were limited. They are both likely on track to play, but if they have a setback it would be a big blow for Houston.

I can think of a couple teams I would vote against adding as one of the league's stakeholders

I posted an online ad for us Who wants to be on the selection committee?

Right, but you made me curious enough to look.

Saints by 13. 9ers by 10, Browns by 14, Texans by 8 and steelers by 19.

Very isolated and seperate incidents. There was some weird shenanigans with that watch party story.

sure, but dem O's ain't Royal

I'm starting to get tired of how much media attention this team gets https://x.com/PatrickMahomes/status/1879167594185588979 Also weird to think the Chiefs are a win over the Texans away from playing in their 7th consecutive conference championship game. I think the record is eight for the Pats. I can see why other fans get tired of it.

Saturday in KC looks cold but that's about it. It'll be 45 degrees the day prior but on Saturday the high is 27 with an overnight low of 6. That's comfortable playoff football weather.

I was contemplating this thread on a drive, and thinking through things I occasionally see. Many of you seem to be at least neighboring some more rural communities, as I am. Then I though I often hear coyotes but never really see any. Then as I'm on my drive, where I was headed to a very small town about 15 minutes away from where I live to get takeout from a local diner, I actually see a fockin coyote making its way through the snow covered field. I also saw a group of about 8 or 9 deer also in a field off in the distance on the same drive. And that was all just yesterday.

everyone still have 8 players left? Daniels Mahomes Barkley Henry Nakua St. Brown Kincaid Texans I feel like a KC/ Bal and Phi/ Was would be my best outcome for the championship games based on my lineup.

Saturday, Jan. 11 #5 LA Chargers (-2.5) @ #4 Houston Texans, 4:30 pm ET CBS #6 Pittsburgh Steelers @ #3 Baltimore Ravens (-8.5), 8:00 pm ET Prime Video Sunday, Jan. 12 #7 Denver Broncos @ #2 Buffalo Bills (-7.5), 1:00 pm ET CBS #7 Green Bay Packers @ #2 Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5), 4:30 pm ET FOX #6 Washington Commanders @ #3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3), 8:00 pm ET NBC Monday, Jan. 13 #5 Minnesota Vikings (-2.5) @ #4 LA Rams, 8:00 pm ET ESPN/ABC

and made it a lot easier for the vikes to walk away and head into the JJ era

public poll added that closes 4:25 pm ET on Saturday

Darnold to the...Giants?

going to be much easier for the vikes to move on from Darnold and onto the McCarthy era, now.

pretty large spreads on 3/4 of the games. This weekend can't be as much of a snoozer as the wild card games were, can they?

not anymore

I'd prefer it be the raiders.

none yet. That might have been it for the vikes

seems sketch
