Wildcard Predictions 2014

[Tenshot13]

^^ there are 20+ teams that would love to be as fraudulent as well.


Lost in the KC chatter is that Luck was just ridiculous in the second half, in spite of the turnovers. He's clearly heads and shoulders above anyone else from his draft class and he showed it. -EK

Nice passive aggressive Tannehill jab.  You can't call people trolls when you won't stop being one.

It was a great game. Props to KC for turning around from a bad season a year ago.  More props to Indy for the incredible comeback.

Andy is bad. Always comes up short.

He really does.  He looked so lost and out of his element at the end of that game.  They used to get on him in Philly for time management (remember the Super Bowl when he was down two scores and the entire offense looked like they'd taken horse tranquilizers?) and more of it here.  I feel bad for the guy.  It's like -- he'll make you relevant, but he just can't win big games.

24-7 Chiefs on the road and with the best player on the team not in the game. Paging Spider and the fraud talk.

Page answered.  You were saying?

Funny how we had multiple people who were proudly announcing (in the middle of the game, even!) that they were ready to give me crap over calling KC "frauds."  Yet the Chiefs cough up a FOUR TOUCHDOWN SECOND HALF LEAD and you're trying to make excuses?  Is one of those excuses "Reggie Wayne didn't even play because he's on injured reserve"?

So all the big talkers who were ready to pounce on me after this game:  where are you now?  Are you still going to include the word "fraud" in every post you make to me for the next year?

The Chiefs are frauds and I called it months ago.  You didn't have to make it about you, but you chose to, so... enjoy your crow.

I appreciate what success the Chiefs had this season for one simple reason...by finishing over .500, my beloved 49ers get another 2nd round pick instead of a 3rd rounder.

Are you going to include the word "fraud" in every post you make to me for the next year?

No, I really don't give enough of a rat's ass about you to put that kind of effort in. Are you going to act like someone nailed you to a cross every time the word comes up in casual conversation?

The big talkers are in "SPIN MODE" trying to play the...."well it was a good season" card.....guess what it wasn't a good season. When you blow a 38-10 lead in the 2nd half of a playoff game....and you get knocked out of the playoffs your season was an utter failure. If KC lost 17-16, hey you could play the good season card, nice little turnaround. Once they went up 38-10 in the 3rd quarter....when you BLOW that lead, you can't say it was a good season. Their season went up in flames and the season is a failure

Let's break down KC's season, beat the Houston, Bills, and Browns when those 3 teams played  their 3rd string QB's (oh, and KC almost lost all 3 games...scores were 17-16, 23-13, 23-17).....they beat Oakland twice (big deal)....beat Jax, Wash, Tenn and the Giants (again big deal). Their only "decent" wins were Dallas and Philly way back in Weeks 2 and 3!!! Oh, and KC ended the season losing 6 of their last 8!!!!!!!

Their losses this year, SD (twice), Denver (twice), Indy (regular season and playoffs)........so pretty much every decent team they played beat them and KC went 2-4 in their own division this year. I'm sorry they are 100% a fraud! And blowing a 38-10 3rd quarter lead (no injury excuses either at that point, if it wasn't an excuse to get that lead it can't be an excuse when you blow it).....just cements the fact they are a fraud!

[MikeO]

The only difference between Reid and Marty Schottenheimer is that Reid actually went to 1 Super Bowl once. Otherwise their careers are mirror images of each other. They CHOKE every year!

This.  There is no excuse for blowing a 28 point lead regardless of who was hurt or not.  If KC is like the 1992 Houston Oilers, there will be repercussions among the defensive staff.

Nice try.  You're the one that tried to make it personal; my comments on the Chiefs' legitimacy had nothing to do with you or teams you support, yet for some reason you felt the need to put that kind of "I'm going to throw this in your face for a year if KC does well" nonsense out there.

And now that put-up-or-shut-up time has arrived and KC delivered a playoff choke for the ages, now you're above it all and I'm being oversensitive?  A 9-0 team lost 6 of their final 8 games, getting bounced in their first playoff game (that they were winning by 4 touchdowns in the 3rd quarter).  KC is literally the worst 9-0 team in NFL history.  That's what I call a fraud.

You took your stand, you chose poorly.  Deal with it.

[dolphins4life]

I missed two awesome playoff games yesterday, but it was worth it to see my friend

Anyway, let's give credit to Luck and the Colts before calling the Chiefs chokers.

Also, I'd rather have the Chiefs season than the Dolphins season any day.

[MikeO]

Also, I'd rather have the Chiefs season than the Dolphins season any day.

But that's not the topic or the debate at hand. That has nothing to do with that and nothing to do with the Dolphins. The debate was...."IS KC A FRAUD" and the answer is an overwhelming YES!

Thank you for your ongoing and overstated opinion. I understand that a team that goes from 2-14 to 11-5 is a fraud (insert whichever appropriate replacement word doesn't make you whine like a teething baby) in your world. Move along, now...nothing to see here.

[Spider-Dan]

What does last season have to do with anything?  KC was 9-0 this season.  And that 9-0 record did not remotely represent that team's ability to compete against quality opponents, as evidenced by their following 8 games.

i.e. it was fraudulent

[Sunstroke]

Yes, Spidey, for the 1,427th time, I understand you think they are...that word.

Moving along... My roommate and most of his friends are diehard Eagles fans, and last night's game took a heavy toll on their mental well-being. Much bourbon was consumed in the pursuit of intangible drownings.

[dolphins4life]

^^^^

Really?   Some people sure can get way too absorbed in these things.

I can't consume alcohol so I have to drown my sorrows in food when I'm down, but that only happens for serious things.

[Landshark]

So far the Chargers defense has held back Any Dalton and Co.   10-7 Cincy going into the locker room
