Omfg...

both teams had excellent records in the NFL.

Worst game I've ever seen... both teams looked like they could have been crushed by a reasonably good high school team.

Insane coaching decisions. Bad execution. And really just lack luster play.

Perhaps the NFL should reconsider the length of each season... these guys just looked tired... worn out.

Someone I was with was talking about the Chiefs and their collapse this season... and mentioned that with the number of playoff games the Chiefs had been in during the "dynasty" era of the last N seasons... their players have played like 1.5 extra SEASONS compared to NFL teams that do not make the playoffs... and every down is more wear and tear on their bodies. Not a Chiefs fan but that comment made a lot of sense.

This season it looks like a lot a teams are "limping" into the playoffs.

The Steelers GM is the real problem there...bad drafts at offensive line and QB for a decade JT45242 Jan 2026 #13
Omar Khan was hired as GM in May 2022. Wiz Imp Jan 2026 #18
GM also about free agency and handling the cap -- JT45242 Jan 2026 #20
