How about your playing the Bears and barely winning - after a Hail Mary stopped at the one - despite Khalil Mack and Trubisky being out? This is just football and you know that.
I think if we play 100x at Arrowhead, we win something like 70% of the time. We’ll see how next weekend goes.

I hear yah, and thanks for your feedback.
Yes, there are key plays and there are keys plays, and bounces are bounces, as a missed tackle is a missed tackle.
But I think to be honest my point is directed to one of likelihood and percentages. That play by the Phins was the longest play to win a game since the Merger in 1970, some 48 years of football. So it is a very low percentage, as opposed to not stopping an opponent on a 4&2 and they go on the win.
Anyhoot, my point was not one of complaining but to recognize that we were close to the #1. And also close to the #3 seed had Chicago converted that hail mary you mentioned. So things can even out in the end as you mentioned.
I like our chances better in Arrowhead after our game today. And agree that the needle points in favor of the Chiefs in this game if we played it 10 times, that the chiefs will win more than 5 of the games and maybe closer to 7 of them.
The only thing that I am hoping for is that the Pats come out hungry (maybe even trying to harbor some revenge for the 2014 spanking we got), and if we can play clean, we got a shot.
If the 2014 team shows up (or the one that got embarrassed a few times this year on the road) this game could be over at halftime.
