In the Championship games, I would have preferred KC and Washington, however, since Washington played first and my absolute necessity was for the Bills to lose, I was OK with the Eagles winning, since if the Bills advanced, I wanted them to have the hardest road possible.

Now that it's Chiefs and Eagles, I am not really rooting for either, but I hate this version of the Eagles, so I guess I'm rooting for the Chiefs.  If you told me that I'd be rooting for the Chiefs for multiple consecutive rounds in the playoffs, I'd think you crazy, yet here we are.

Easy call: Chiefs.

Every KC title is one step closer to never hearing the name "Tom Brady" again.

The Chiefs will win.   These games are rigged.   The NFL will do whatever it takes to have Taylor Swift on that stage next to Travis Kelce.  That first down that wasn't for Josh Allen was atrocious, just like the call the week before against Houston.

Root for whoever you want. But there is zero chance of that.   I don't think Dan Marino has any records left and you still hear about him.

Pathetic take.

I want to get to the point where I hear about Brady as often as I hear about Unitas or Montana.
Which is almost never.

I don't think the NFL is competent enough to pull it off myself but the conspiracy crowd  keeps getting exponentially bigger with every Chiefs game. Kind of crazy to win every close call, get a penalty when they need it most, or not have them called against you time and time again.

The long punt return last night had more penalties not called than some people have teeth. No one misses all of them.

Conspiracy is getting bigger in general, across all ways of life.  So, no surprise that it creeps into the NFL, too.

 The second most penalized player is a chief so the refs are doing a good job at hiding any favoritism

I will be barracking hard for the Eagles.

Australian Jordan Mailata (robbed of a Pro Bowl spot this season) will be starting, which is more than enough for me to cheer for them to end the KC/Taylor Swift tidal wave.

If they do win, I wonder if Lane Johnson (who we should have drafted in 2013 instead of Dion Jordan - that was a huge sliding doors moment) will wear the ugly dog mask again? (I hope so)

Yes... Unfortunately, idiocy can be contagious.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Chiefs because there really is no reason to not like what Mahomes and Reid are doing. Although some of their players are great, I really dislike Philly fans.  With that said I just hope the refs call the game down the middle for seemingly the first time this year.

I hate Philly fans.  I also don't like their coach.

I did kinda like Philly with McNabb, but that's been a minute.

I am rooting for Philly.  I always had the Eagles near the top of my list, ever since I was a kid and used to put my football cards in order of how much I like the team.  Dolphins #1, Bengals #2, Eagles were somewhere in the top 6 or 7.

But over the years I've come to hate Eagles' fans, like many other people have stated.  Most classless fan base I've encountered personally - of course not all fans but, as a whole.  Just terrible.

But I can't sit by and watch the Chiefs run away with another trophy.  Especially the way this season has gone.  Chiefs never scored more than 30 points until the championship game.  They're winning cause their defense is sneaky-good and, of course, a few timely calls by the refs.  I'm not in the "NFL is rigged" crowd but you're lying to yourself if you don't see they blatantly get favor from the officials.  It happens but I don't have to like it. 

The end of the Bengals game sticks in my craw.  That was no more PI IMO than happens on every other play - he was playing the ball.  Whatever.  They should have lost that game. Roll Eyes
