OFFICIAL NFL PLAYOFF THREAD 2024-2025: Vol: Championship Sunday. May Hate Reign Supreme

IATT · Saturday at 10:02 PM

what’s y’all thoughts on have the conference championships on different days, so say afc Saturday afternoon and nfc Sunday afternoon

Got the week in between conference championships and Super Bowl so 1 day ain’t a huge deal

Probably wouldn't complain either way since as a CFB fan its that way for their Final Four but I do like everything on one day.

Either grilling myself and inviting folks over, going to my homie's spot or if we go out one one day for two games instead of only one >>>

i just want to see some good close games tomorrow. I’ll be able to watch the nfc game in full and the first half of the afc game at home before heading to the airport and watching the rest there before my flight.

I like that idea of having the conference championship games on separate days. It works if you rotate it every year. Put them both in the prime time slot as well.

My brain says Philly but I legit feel like JD isn't gonna let that happen today :lol

Been saying it all year, now or never for Buffalo. This is by far the most well balanced/rounded team they've had under McDermott and Allen has effectively eradicated his bozo gene.

They're never gonna get a better shot to break through imo.

I think all of America outside of Kansas City and maybe fans of other AFC East teams wants Buffalo to win tonight.

And it’s crazy that just 6 years ago the Chiefs were that very same type of team almost everyone was pulling for given they hadn’t made a Super Bowl since Super Bowl 4 and they were playing the hated dynasty team who won too much. Classic you either die the hero or live long enough to be the villain moment for the Chiefs.

I hope Buffalo wins but I don’t see KC losing at home. For as much talk as there is about the Chiefs getting favorable calls. Their defense takes over games in the 4th quarter. Obviously Buffalo is better than the Texans. But they slammed the door on the Texans in the 4th quarter last week. Even when you move the ball against them. They clamp down once you get in scoring position where it’s tough to get 7 against them. Assuming it’s close in the 4th quarter, Buffalo is going to have to put up 7 on their drives and be able to deliver that knockout blow and keep the ball away from the Chiefs offense. Because even when they look average the first 3 quarters, they tend to go on those annoyingly long clock killing drives in the 4th quarter.

Ideally the refs let them play tonight. And I think they will, especially after getting scrutinized heavily after the Texas game last week.

GOAT made the mistake of winning too much. People turn on you when you do that. Hope he continues to make that mistake today. A 3peat would be incredible

It feels like the transformation from “it’s so cool to see him win a title. It’s so cool to see that team that’s never won a championship/hasn’t won a championship in decades” to “go away, stop winning so much, we’re sick of you” happens quick and becomes a thing by the second championship.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the 3 peat happen either though.

Remember when the NFL literally made a rule because Tom Brady got sacked :lol

As I said all season, if people truly hate refs and bad calls, they should hate Josh Allen and the Bills. He has more total roughing calls than Mahomes and more roughing calls per game. The data backs it up:

Roughing the Passer By Quarterback - All Quarterbacks

This dude is truly shameless :lol

But something tells me it's not really about the refs.

I think another thing is the Chiefs are always on primetime so everybody's watching. Versus a Bills game at 1pm that nobody outside of Buffalo is watching.

But yeah people just tired of watching the Chiefs winning. They even got a Taylor Swift conspiracy going like the Chiefs didn't have 2 rings already before Trav got with her.
