Big Blue Huddle

Am sure media will say something like Mahommes does it again and what about Daniels?

Chiefs D generated 8 sacks and pressured Stroud throughout game.

Daniels played well but to say he won the game when the Lions committed 5 turnovers seems silly to me.

Seems Chiefs D won and Lions lost the game. 

Fair play to Washington.

But crikey, the Vikings and Lions won 29 games between them and there's not a single playoff win between them. That's some surprise.

No kidding.  Very surprised.  Lions looked to me like most complete team.

I think it also shows how a good QB can lift those around them.

Brilliant season for Daniels. 2 playoff wins.

Also people underestimate Kelce, we are watching the greatest TE ever right now. Guy is about to pass most of Jerry rices receiving stats in the postseason.

The Lions injuries on D caught up with them. Depth on D will likely be a huge focus for them in FA and draft.

Excellent point!  Imagine the frustration of fans seeing "their" season derailed by injury

The offense, definitely. But that defense was breaking down towards the end of the season.

The Lions were disappointing and reminded me of the 2008 Giants.

The "Team Formerly Known as the Redskins" were opportunistic and capitalized on Lion miscues.

The latter deserves to move on. All the loving Mr. Campbell's team has been getting is now replaced with "what happened?" He now has to face whatever other head coach in the league faces and that's adversity.

He'll get Hutchinson and the rest of his injured guys back to make another run. But can they repeat the success of this past season?

It was a lost opportunity. We'll get a litmus test of the coach for certain in 2025 when other teams will be gunning for him and his boys.

Peace!

No TE has more 1,000 yard seasons than kelce plus with all the playoff records, no matter who my heart likes, hake recognizes game and kelce is the goat rn.

Plus, we'll see how the imminent loss of Ben Johnson and possibly Aaron Glenn impact the team.

They really were hit with an inordinate number of injuries, though.  Especially on D.

Longer seasons, Thursday games, overseas trips all inevitably lead to more injuries.
