This is going to be a good one, too. Can the Chiefs get over whatever it is that has kept them from besting the Bengals?

We shall see...

We should get used to seeing Buffalo / Cincy / KC in the AFC Championship for years to come.

I understand why you'd think so, but you've got to keep mostly the same roster, add good free agents without losing any, draft well, not lose players to injury, and hope your great coordinators don't get head coaching jobs and bail on you. Brick wall

Then you got the salary cap...

The Great Equalizer!

Winning with a QB on his rookie contract seems to be one of the models for playoff success. With his relatively low salary cap, teams can navigate the cap to keep key vets and add higher-priced FA. Of course, injuries can and will take their toll as well as poaching of coaching staff. But, as we saw with the Bucs after their SB with Brady, even keeping the band together doesn't guarantee success.

Ultimately the NFL is a week-to-week, year-to-year Shakespearean play that takes dips, dives, rocket-like takeoffs, unexpected turns with cheers and moans of disappointment. Success is never guaranteed. But that's what makes it so popular!

Surprised the Bengals bested the Bills, even with all the stop gap offensive linemen. They took the nuts out of the Bills crowd.

Kansas City has a similar home crowd and noise level. Don't think Joe will be intimidated. Think the advantage the Chiefs have is Joe beat them last year in KC. That should be the extra motivation to get them over the top.

Will probably put a small wager on Cincy to help numb the potential pain.

Depends a lot on the values and character of the QB.
Brady had discount wide receivers, and when he would renegotiate his contract, the Patriots invested the savings into defense.

Aaron Rodgers just gets as much as he possibly can, leaving the rest of the cupboard thread bare. Then he bicthes about the supporting cast.

the Cap is like MSRP...it's meaningless in negotiations.
Owners can spend or not. Up to them. The cap is a lie they made up when they don't want to spend...buncha Socialist Billionaires.

Yup. As smart as he is, you'da thunk he'd have figured that out by now. Mebbe nice to be the highest paid QB (...albeit only until the next QB gets paid...) but if winning Super Bowls was his main objective then taking less would have reaped benefits years ago.

Hoping for the Bengals. I'm feeling pretty good about their chances in this one. Of course, that's probably a bad sign for them

In a recent interview (think it was the McAfee Show) they talked about whether he would/could/should come back. He said he feels good enough to comeback and whether in GB or elsewhere to win another MVP or two.

If he'd pull his head out of his arse, he'd say A Super Bowl or Two. Seems the thought never occurred to him.

I don’t think Rogers really GAF about winning the SB. If he did he’d make some room under the cap to add some support.

Good luck finding a bigger h8ter of Aaron Rogers than me.

They paid some receivers but I think his beef was those were ALL diamonds in the rough draft picks. And only one was also a freak (Adams) and he was a 2nd round pick. And I think they drafted Love (QB) too high and that’s what pissed him off MORE than the team drafting a QB.

Such a dumb move. With only 8 seconds and no timeouts KC would have had to kick without running another play. I’m guessing the FG would have been 60+ yards. Certainly not a chip shot. More than likely the game would have gone to OT. But, that wasn’t the only dumb penalty that Cincy was guilty of in the last 6-8 minutes. They gave the game away.

He was trying to move him backwards which keeps the clock ticking, dumb yes, most egregious late hit ever? Not a chance. I hated that it was called but it was the correct call.

Stupid was Cincy not running the ball when they got possession with 7 minutes left. They ran Mixon and got a big chunk, then stopped….that was stupid.

Move him backwards. WTF? He was way out by the time he hit him.

I’ve definitely seen worse late hits in terms of physically, but that doesn’t really matter. A late hit out of bounds is a late hit out of bounds. No matter if it’s 2 feet out or 20 yards out. It’s still going to draw a flag and the consequences are the same.

Don't know that they gave it away. More like they opened the door and the Chiefs walked through it.
