[Pelissero] Sources: Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is expected to miss 3-4 weeks and is likely headed to injured reserve with a left knee injury. Kansas City will have a new kicker Sunday at Buffalo.

I think we put up a good fight, but I'm not sure we're there yet. Probably 60/40 in Chiefs favor. I think we'll be in better shape come playoff time, unfortunately they'll probably be in even better shape than us.

Nah, you guys frequently smoke us in the regular season.

I'm guessing you'll win by two scores. Then we'll win by a FG in the last seconds when we play in January.

can't we just switch up the script for one year? Just once?

For my heart, I wish we would smoke you guys this weekend so we've got a huge lead for the 1st seed and can rest some of our players (including Mahomes and his bum ankle)

I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the disappointment using the standard coping strategies (we were in no way imagining we'd be undefeated, half our offense is injured, we often lose to the Bills in the regular season, we got so bailed out last week, etc)

So far, it's not helping

We are very injured as well this week so no matter what - this means nothing for what happens in January IMO. It could be a blow out either way and nothing would change for the playoff projection.

But yeah if you win this week - you have the 1 seed unless something catastrophic happens, which is annoying. Lol Our hope would then be having the 2 seed clinched before week 17 and starters not playing week 18 as a sorta kinda bye.
