The Chiefs don't play today, but one of today's teams will be their next opponent. You can talk about the games here.

[Chiefs4life24]

No links to watch the games, hmmm doesn't seem like a REAL game day thread in all fairness. lol

[TopekaRoy]

Buffalo leads 7-0 after one quarter. I thought the Bills were overrated, but maybe not.

[Eydugstr]

Buffalo showed up to play a football game. Texans better get something going in the second half or this could get ugly.

[TopekaRoy]

Bills kick another FG to take a 13-0 lead into halftime. Their defense looks really good.

[TopekaRoy]

Texans finally scored The 2 point conversion makes it Bills 16 - Texans 8.

[brdempsey69]

Buffalo showed up to play a football game. Texans better get something going in the second half or this could get ugly.

Not surprising, given the way the Texans laid a big egg when they hosted the Donkeys.

[TopekaRoy]

Texans just scored another touchdown and another 2 pt conversion. They now lead 19-16. What a comeback!

[TopekaRoy]

Big run after catch from Singletary!

[TopekaRoy]

1st down Bills. They're already in FG range.

[TopekaRoy]

Sack may have just taken them out!

[TopekaRoy]

Another Sack!

[TopekaRoy]

Bills get a turnover on downs on their own 30 yd line with 1:16 left in the game.

[TopekaRoy]

Houschka kicks a 47 yd FG with 5 seconds left to send the game in to overtime!

[brdempsey69]

The teams have traded possessions, so the first team to score wins.

[brdempsey69]

Personally, I would like to see this game become the longest game ever & erase that 1971 Christmas Day game from that ranking.

[TopekaRoy]

Houston wins on a field goal. On to the next game.

[brdempsey69]

Houston at the Buffalo 10-yard line. May be game over right here.

[TopekaRoy]

Game 1

[brdempsey69]

It's over. Houston wins.

[Chiefs4life24]

Buffalo blew it

[brdempsey69]

Titans get the first TD in the game. Possible upset & the end of NE's dynasty? We shall see.

[TopekaRoy]

One can only hope. If Titans win we play Houston. If Titans lose we play Pats.

[brdempsey69]

One can only hope. If Titans win we play Houston. If Titans lose we play Pats.

Personally, I'd like another shot at the Texans -- this time with a healthier squad (Thornhill's injury and absence notwithstanding).

[TopekaRoy]

I think I would prefer a rematch with the Texans to giving the Pats another shot at US.

[brdempsey69]

I think I would prefer a rematch with the Texans to giving the Pats another shot at US.

I really believe the Chiefs are going to win the opening playoff game, regardless. BUT will they be better prepared and ready to play the AFC Championship game than they were last year? Time will tell.

[TopekaRoy]

Pats take a 10-7 lead.

[Eydugstr]

The Pats offense woke up. Titans fans should be concerned.

[TopekaRoy]

I really believe the Chiefs are going to win the opening playoff game, regardless. BUT will they be better prepared and ready to play the AFC Championship game than they were last year? Time will tell.Agreed. I think we're a better team than we were the first time we played HOU but a little weaker than when we played NE with Thornhill out now.

[Eydugstr]

I really believe the Chiefs are going to win the opening playoff game, regardless. BUT will they be better prepared and ready to play the AFC Championship game than they were last year? Time will tell.

Think the improved play of the D will be a difference maker.

[Eydugstr]

Titans need to figure out a way to stop that screen play from breaking out.

[brdempsey69]

Goal-line stand by the Titans.

[TopekaRoy]

Goal-line stand by the Titans.The Pats have seen that before. :smile Their offensive struggles continue.

[Eydugstr]

Titans making a game of it.....Good.

[brdempsey69]

Titans scored a TD to take the lead before halftime. That Goal-line stand is looking pretty huge right now.

[TopekaRoy]

TD Titans. They lead 14-13.

[TopekaRoy]

Boring 3rd quarter. Still 14-13.

[TopekaRoy]

I've never seen that before. Titans deliberately taking back to back penalties to run down the clock. and then NE gets called for offsides! :lol:

[brdempsey69]

Titans are in a position to run out the clock and win the game. That goal-line stand is looming very big right now.

[TopekaRoy]

Titans got a pick-6 to seal the win! Chiefs will play the Texans.

[brdempsey69]

Payback time !! Look out Houston.

[Eydugstr]

Hope that the loss earlier in the season serves as a wake-up call.

[brdempsey69]

Hope that the loss earlier in the season serves as a wake-up call.

Need a better Defensive performance than the 472 total yards given up last time to the Texans. If the Chiefs can cut that in half, then the Chiefs will win.

[Chiefs4life24]

I got the Saints and Eagles winning

[TopekaRoy]

I got the Saints and Eagles winning

Me, too, and the Saints and 49ers in the NFC Championship. Not sure yet who I would pick in that game.

[TopekaRoy]

Vikings getting burned by ANOTHER back-up QB! Saints lead 10-3.

[TopekaRoy]

Vikings came right back but had to settle for a FG after a goal line stand. Vikings lead 10-6.

[TopekaRoy]

Brees comes back in and throws a long interception to Anthony Harris. Vikings ball.

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown! Vikings take the lead 13-10.

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown Vikings. I must say this is not the game I expected.

[brdempsey69]

Like WOW !! With the way all the home teams have struggled this weekend, it makes me wonder if we've entered the Twilight Zone or something.

And I'm believing that Philly doesn't have any cakewalk with Seattle, later on.

[TopekaRoy]

Brees throws a TD pass to Hill to cut the lead to 3. Vikings 20-17.

[TopekaRoy]

You never know what's going to happen in the playoffs. It's why you play the game.

[Chiefs4life24]

So if the Vikings end up hanging on and the Eagles beat the Seahawks then The Vikings would play at the 49ers and the Eagles at the Packers, Those games would be a toss up in my opinion, what a wack playoffs so far.

[TopekaRoy]

Brees fumbles. Vikings recover!

[TopekaRoy]

Cousins gets sacked! Saints get the ball back with 1:55 left. Can Brees get it done?

[TopekaRoy]

Saints in FG range with 21 seconds to go...

[TopekaRoy]

Saints hit the FG with 2 seconds left. Looks like another Wild Card game is going to overtime!

[Chiefs4life24]

The Vikings blew this one

[TopekaRoy]

The Vikings blew this one
Nobody gave them a chance to win. The OddsShark Supercomputer had the Saints winning 31-13. It's not over yet.

[TopekaRoy]

Vikings first and goal on the 2 yd line!

[brdempsey69]

Vikings win.

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown Vikings! Vikings win 26-20. What an upset!

[Chiefs4life24]

Sets up Vikings at 49ers and that is winnable for the Vikings

[TopekaRoy]

Did not think the Vikings would beat the Saints WOW

Close games all weekend so far

[TopekaRoy]

Did not think the Vikings would beat the Saints WOW

Close games all weekend so farThis one should be good, too. The Saints are 7-1 on the road so there's no clear home field advantage.

[Chiefs4life24]

It would be fitting if the Eagles won, it would mean that it's nothing but #6 seeds vs #1 seeds and #4 seeds vs #2 seeds. lol If you believe in numbers

[brdempsey69]

This one should be good, too. The SeaChickens are 7-1 on the road so there's no clear home field advantage.

Fixed. :smile

Hey Roy You must not have seen the Saints were just eliminated :)

[TopekaRoy]

Hey Roy You must not have seen the Saints were just eliminated :)
I was thinking "Seahawks." I guess my fingers weren't listening. :lol:

[TopekaRoy]

Eagles block Seattle FG attempt! Still 0-0.

[brdempsey69]

The Eagles have 9 yards of total Offense in the 1st QTR.

Geez, what an Offensive blitzkrieg.

[TopekaRoy]

I'm not so sure that's a complete catch. He got both feet in bounds but the ball hit the ground. Did he maintain control?

[Chiefs4life24]

Is Wentz out of the game?

[TopekaRoy]

Complete. Call was overturned.

[TopekaRoy]

Seahawks are shooting themselves in the foot (feet?).

[TopekaRoy]

Is Wentz out of the game?

Former Bear Josh McCown taking over QB duties for now.

[Chiefs4life24]

Skip Bayless said on Twitter that Clowney took a shot at Wentz with his helmet but no flag was thrown. Is this true?

[TopekaRoy]

I missed it. I'm "multitasking" right now.

[TopekaRoy]

Eagles tie the game 3-3 with a FG.

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown! Seahawks take 10-3 lead.

[TopekaRoy]

Eagles FG makes it 10-6 Seahawks.

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown! Seahawks extend lead to 17-6.

[TopekaRoy]

Eagles added a FG to make it 17-9 Seahawks after 3 quarters.

[TopekaRoy]

Pass Interference call gives the Eagles 1st and 10 on the Seahawks 13 yd line.

[TopekaRoy]

2 minute warning. Eagles will go for it on 4th and 7 from the Seahawks 10 ...

[TopekaRoy]

McCown is sacked and the Seahawks take over on downs.

[TopekaRoy]

Wilson completes a long pass for a first down. That should do it.

[TopekaRoy]

Seahawks win 17-9. On to next week!

[matthewschiefs]

The only game this weekend that was a huge surprise was the Vikings winning. The others I kinda thought would end up how they did. I was 50/50 on the Pats losing

I think the NFC title game will be the Seahawks vs 49ers

I just have a feeling that Tennessee will upset the Ravens probably just wishful thinking

[Chiefs4life24]

I have the Packers vs the Vikings in the NFCCG and Titans vs Chiefs for the AFCCG

[brdempsey69]

I'm going to go with the Packers at the 49ers in the NFCCG & the Chiefs at the Ravens for the AFCCG.

[Chiefs4life24]

I'm going to go with the Packers at the 49ers in the NFCCG & the Chiefs at the Ravens for the AFCCG.

Nah that's wrong Demps But I wont hold it against you when your wrong. lol

The Chiefs vs Texans play on the 12th kickoff is at 3:05 pm

[Eydugstr]

My hope is that the both the Vikes and the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl (50 year repeat of SB IV). Don't see the Vikes getting past the 49'ers though. Or the Packers or Seasquawks.
