Twas a lovely feel good moment for a fan base that has been kicked in the nads so often for the last quarter century and beyond, really. And to do it against the team that has grinded their hopes down into an ashy paste under their jackboots won’t soon be forgotten. Are they emotionally spent though? For the non-answer to this and other questions, read below…
TO THE GAME!
Browns/Chiefs:
-Hey, good luck to HC Stefanski, coaching his very first playoff game. As far as harbingers of good fortune, I Preifer someone else.
-Chubb should be able to impose his will. He’s had 100 yards from scrimmage the last three games and scored in the last 6 of 7. And that KC run D is nothing to be afeared of.
-Tyreek is all set up to dominate-he has the most deep TD passes caught (8) this year and the Browns have given up the 3rd most (11) long scores. Though they do get back secondary starters in Ward and Johnson. Pro Bowler Bitonio is back to protect his Baker as well.
-Folks rightly point out that the Browns o-line is elite (although 4 dudes are questionable for this one) but t’udder side has allowed only 3 opposing rb’s to run for more than 65 yards this year. So maybe temper your expectations for CEH (also listed as questionable) or Bell or Williams or Thompson.
-“Just Win, Patty!” After a blowout of the Jetskis back in week 8, the Chiefs largest margin of victory was a 6 point trouncing of the Broncos.
-The Rich Get Richer: The Chiefs hit it big in the 4th round of the draft when they landed cb L’Jarius Sneed, who became an instant starter in the secondary and on special teams. Needless to say, when a scouting staff can find gems in later rounds a team’s overall depth improves dramatically.
-You’d think that the Browns would need a defensive turnover or two to keep pace with the opposition but it’s highly unlikely they’ll get the 4 picks that they generated last week-Mahomes has but 6 for the year.
-Sleeping With Bieniemy: The Chiefs OC has been pegged (damn!) by the Eagles as an HC candidate and/or a Rooney Rule checkmark.
Scribble your kibble in the comments.
They should update this State Farm commercial so now they are shaving Patrick’s head for his brain surgery.
/I actually hope that Mahomes is okay, he doesn’t seem like a horrible person and I don’t want to wish for bad things to happen to him just because he wears a Chiefs jersey.
When professional athletes insure their future earnings, do you think they do that through State Farm and such?
All I can say is that I hope Patrick Mahomes’ concussion is contagious.
Romo is so excitied because he doesn’t understand what playoff victory feels like.
Take comfort Browns; you may have ended Big Ben’s career.
Yeah, wouldn’t want to hire Eric Bienamy as your head coach….
This game was way more bizarre than anticipated
I wish someone had gone helmet-to-helmet on Tyreek while he was sitting on the ground there.
Also, fuck the Chiefs for not letting us see a last gasp Cleveland drive.
Chiefs took it. They earned the win. ??♂️
I never said they didn’t earn it. Just that it wasn’t a fun way for the game to end.
I think we just heard Romo’s o-face.
The Chiefs are the ballsyiest team ever. Jesus Fuck.
Chiefs Andy got Eagles Andy’s back for all the shit people talked about his playcalling.
I just hate them SO MUCH.
Congrats Chiefs, but fuck you.
Look at the balls on Reid!
I haven’t seen them in years – A. Reid.
Checkdown for the win!
Loved that fall
* call
Boo.
So, for this NO-TB game, I was thinking of a drinking game. If I took a sip of water every time they remark about either QB’s age, how long before I die of hyponatremia?
Better skip pregame then, or you may not make it to kickoff.
Before halftime.
I have NEVER seen a more perfect use of this meme
Wish we could have seen a Hennecopter there.
That”ll do Cleveland, that’ll do.
What the Henne?
Head first Henne!
Henne creamed, ails Browns
Genny cream was the beer of choice at high school keggers. Seemed fancy compared to Rolling Rock or Vitamin I.
so I’ve never seen that cedric ants bud light commercial. that was actually pretty funny
So 16 yards to Kelce over the middle, we’re all agreed, right?
If they go for the kill, yeah.
Or an aging backup QB could run for 13+ yards, I guess.
Henne given Sunday
A Henne for your starting quarterbacks thoughts
Check out that super-cool stoic head nod from Henne.
The Browns thought that defensive scheme would fool Henne?
Can tell that contract chippiness in Nantzs voice over that call there
Well, unless Henne throws another INT, I guess that’s it.
Correct call.
Just got back from walking the dog, and I see that if the NFL had decent officiating, we’d be tied.
Chiefs are Mahomes-less.
Just noticed that. I guess that big toe has progressed to gout.
Wrong end, he got concussed
Screen pass pick six, per my Ouija board. Also, A 6 Goodbye
I need a Chefs field goal……
I just ML livebet #ThePauls. Chefs still cooked.
I don’t hate punting here, but Nantz is nuts to say there’s “no option” but to punt.
Browns engage dick-step!!
That’s what the Chiefs get for not drafting and developing Trubitsky as well as Mahomes smhd
Live Vegas lines going crazy
Bills fans RN
Yeah, who would’ve thought Chad Henne would throw an INT
That pass is going to bring another little Rivers into the world
That’s why Chad Henne hasn’t started a game since 2014.
Dolphins Legend
Henne beats the Jets sing down here after the fateful duel between Henne and Sanchez
He has nothing to smirk about now.
Ah, now that’s more like what I expected from Henne
Yes, that’s Chad Henne
“Yes sir, that’s my Henne…”
Ha Ha Henne!
CHADCEPTION!
Networks having so much success with LL Cool J and Ice-T, I guess they were going through the rolodex of 80s/90s hip-hop stars and got Queen Latifah. 2 Live Crew stand by.
Going to add a commercial with Henne covering Checkdown yourself before you wreck yourslef
Too late
and then PM Dawn can cash out.
Snoop Dogg in talks to get his own show – Dispensary owner that mentors a group of local kids that solve crimes, it’s “Snoop” on CBS.
I would watch that.
With Willie Nelson as Chief Dispensary Consultant.
Ok, but Martha Stewart gets a recurring role as the police captain, right?
I bought a bottle of 19 Crimes wine with Snoop on the label.
The tagline “Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em” is just sitting there waiting to be used for a cop show.
Buddy cop show with Kris Kristofferson and Kris’s Kross
Salt n Peppa as crime solving chefs.

“I’d illegally stream that.” — Jameis Winston
Is it possible that Tyreek Hill literally sold his soul? That seems to be the only logical explanation at this point.
It would certainly explain a lot
One day they say we’ll get Lamar-Mahomes AFC title game bananacakes. This year it’s just concussioncakes. And those aren’t tasty.
remember when the talking heads were convinced we were gonna see the manning brothers face off in a superbowl?
A Manning Face-Off?
I guess the Browns now have to put more effort into losing this game now that Mahomes is out
That’s a catch.
