    Win and move on. That's what you do in the playoffs. Every game is different.

    Believe me, I live in Patriotland, and my NE fan friends were bricking it during that entire game yesterday.

    We really should've blown them out. The chiefs were completely out matched, but their red zone defense kept them in it (part of which was some shady play calling IMO). A win is a win tho, no matter how you get it. On to New England! Let's go get em!

    The inability to finish drives is definitely not going to fly next week. I will say though that there was no way around this being a tough game. Chiefs were a good team this season and going into Arrowhead and winning a road playoff game is tough. A few less drops and off the mark passes and this would have been a lopsided game given how good our defense played and even our offense before the 30yd line that is.

    Lots of buts on this one. Ben damned near let us all down. Poor coaching not preparing these guys for situational FB. Dumb mistakes. This game should have been over at the half like the first time around but how in the hell do we not find the EZ?

    Defense keeps getting better every week. And hey, remember what I said about the Andy Reid factor? His teams always find a new and innovative way to lose, and like I also said, we beat KC like a drum. Boomity boom boom boom!

    Good win, but...

    they didn't win pretty enough. KC's defense was legit. We'll score touchdowns next week. Can't wait to see James Harrison sack Tom Brady.

    I need to process the stress cooker of a 4th quarter we just endured.

    I honestly am looking at this as a great win. We had to play probably the best defense in the playoffs and one of the top teams in the playoffs. We came out with a win. We have the hard track to the super bowl as we will play 3 or of 4 against tough opponent. It isn't pretty but this is the Steeler way. To be the best you beat the best. I'm proud of the team. Go Steelers!

    Same old chiefs. One and done. Can't win a playoff game after a 1st round bye. Epic chokers in the playoffs. They can thank the Colts for breaking Carr's leg for even having a home playoff game.

    It should have been a blow-out game.

    Red zone offence must be improved or we will be blow-out in foxburgh

    It was a win "by any means necessary". But the offense had a bad game. The team needs to polish up what they should already be good at.... getting into the end zone.
    Can't go into any more games playing like that

    They most likely won't beat New England kicking FGs.

    I don't get it we run the ball down their throats , but when they get to the red zone genius Ben tries to throw it?? He's letting it go before looking at the receiver, Brown was covered! !

    I give them a .01% chance of victory if they are unable to score a single TD against the Patriots and weather is not a factor.

    Yeah, Chiefs have a great defense. Apparently they have been known all year as a great red zone defense.

    I'm confident they will score TDs vs the Patriots, the Chiefs have a good redzone defense. Ben not giving the ball to Bell on that int near the goal line cost them a TD, and AB not holding on that TD pass were big missed opportunities for TDs.

    A few plays there was Hill running down the field wide open. Alex Smith didn't see him. Brady won't make the same mistake. This offense cannot stall and kick field goals.

    Good win but...

    Throughout Ben's career, I've been under the mistaken impression that Ben was 6'5". I found out tonight that he's only 5'6".

    What is it with all the tipped balls at the LOS, Doug Flutie? :facepalm:

    This was probably the most nervous I have been during a playoff game. They were in full control of this game on both sides of the ball and it still came down to a greatly defended 2 pt conversion (twice, JH sacks him the first time without being held and Davis makes up for his PF) and a huge 3rd down conversion to seal the game.

    If they even scored just 1 TD in place of a FG, game would have been so less stressful but I'm proud of this team. Rolling into KC and beating them in their house coming off a bye and winning 9 in a row, impressive.

    Boz, you the man.

    Score TD's next week boys, going to need them.
