    They will if the chiefs keep winning superbowls. They are grinding out postseason wins like it is easy… 

     

    it would be easy to look back at the afc and say, man those teams could have been in the superbowl but they had to go through the chiefs

     

    But that's not how people define a stacked era - just looking at one team.  You need multiple champions and multiple teams consistently competing.  See the AFC in the 2000s and 70s.  Currently, you have none of that.  The Bills consistently make the playoffs.  That’s about it.  

     

    The whole "the AFC is stacked" thing was born out of the AFC West free agent frenzy last year where people were calling it the greatest division ever.  That obviously didn't materialize.  The AFC West was mediocre at best.

    I wish chiefs would go away. The SB is not very exciting when they are in it every year.

     

    My guess:  It will be a repeat of the first Niners/Chiefs Super Bowl.  The Niners will limit them, but like Garopollo, Purdy won't score enough, won't come through in the clutch.

    Colds have just a good chance of winning a ring getting Richardson back as Texans. Some of you are way too worried about Texans. 

     

    The Texans have the much better blueprint.  We're doing the things the hard way.  Hey, let's take an athletic QB who isn't a great passer and hope he turns into a passer.  Let’s draft a receiver who can run go routes and hope he can turn into a route runner.  Let's draft an edge in the middle of the first who can stop the run and is a hardworker and hope he can turn into a pass rusher.

    This rivalry really is like Brady and Manning. Allen is manning and can’t get past mahomes.

     

    This is the playoff game that Manning did beat the Pats in '06.  Manning won the 3rd one.  After 3 playoff games, it was 2-1 Brady, and Manning finished with a winning postseason record vs. Brady/Belichick.

    Can't believe just because a QB was taken in 7th round has to go through so much doubt and slander everytime he does any thing less than perfect.

     

    Now I can see why Tom Brady tortured the league for two decades and wanted to win as much as he could. 

     

    People forget that now, but it took Brady several Super Bowls to get any respect.

    I thought the Ravens would win, but I thought the Texans could keep it close-ish. Not a knock against the Texans - the Ravens are just THAT good. 

     

    Yeah, they have been to date in 2023-24, but I still don't fully trust them.  I kinda think they're going to lose next week.

  7. Here's the thing about the Colts cycling through QBs that rarely gets mentioned.  I'm sure no one will admit it, but internally for several years, I would bet there were people in the organization hoping and thinking that Luck might still return.  It sure seemed like Irsay was holding out hope.  That might have been a factor in deciding on what to do at QB.

     

    At the beginning of 2022, while Wentz was still on the team, Ballard was asked what he would say if Luck wanted to return. 

     

    Ballard:  Welcome back.

     

    That must have made Wentz feel good.

  8. Regardless of what they do with it, it's hard to to see the combine becoming a huge money-making event.  

     

    That said, if they can somehow make 4 more dollars, they will.  

     

    The combine is something that, if you're trying to do it every 5 years or so, it might be a pain more than anything.  If you're not getting it every year, you might not want it.  It's one thing to have a structure in place annually for the medical testing and whatnot.  It's another to put it together once every 5-6 years, or more.
