Yep. MHM was in full chest beating mode.
Toumbtard was even more of an idiot than usual.
And Kranz actually showed up.
And then 30 - 6 happened...:-) [Reply]

Broncos 2
Chiefs 49
Score does not reflect utter dominance of KC
The first smart take you’ve had on here. Congratulations. It was bound to happen eventually.
P.S. your reverse mojo jinx won’t work. Your team isn’t good enough. You know it and so do we. [Reply]
I like Drew, as I’m a Mizzou fan, but he will NEVER be a big time NFL QB. Has too many holes in his game (struggles with accuracy and absolutely wilts under pressure). I do think he’ll eventually become a ‘solid’ starter in the league, but that’s it.
All that said, he’s gonna be extra hyped up for this game being back home in front of his family and friends (Lees Summit kid). That’s not a good recipe for a rookie QB playing on the road in his first big time venue against one of the better teams in football.
He will miss on a lot of throws and probably throw 2 or 3 picks. Donks may stick around longer than normal, but Chiefs will ultimately win this one comfortably.
Lock hasn’t had much pressure on him yet. Yesterday it was virtually non-existent.
That is going to change this weekend.
Why did the #Patriots go two-for-12 on third down? Part of the reason is that Brady was under pressure on 69.2 percent of New England's third down plays, per @PFF. Yeesh.

Houston destroyed the pats and the Broncos destroyed Houston... very strange and again it helps me to believe that the players play hard when they want to play hard. Sure, coaching is involved but if a particular team's players are just not really into the game, the other team will win.
The Broncos are playing hard right now and I think that's because they believe they have a shot to win with Lock. When Flacco was playing the team simply didn't care all that much because Flacco sucked. Flacco was an uninspiring statue in the pocket that no opposing defenses were scared of or had to "game plan" around his talents.
KC has a lot to play for so I expect KC to win but I also expect the Broncos to play much, much better than their last game against KC. [Reply]

Yeah. Look how the pressure got to him in his first road start. [Reply]

Full chest beating mode? I don't believe that's accurate. I do believe I was pretty positive about their chances, given the ground game opportunities at the time. But, I don't think I've been in what you would call full chest beating mode for a while. [Reply]

Very hard to follow along with the narrative... are you guys still tanking or that’s not a thing now? Don’t get me wrong, I applaud your team’s determination to not have a top 5 pick. But I was told it was an obvious tank job going on in Dungver. Now the team has won a game again and the tanking has stopped? I’m confused, help a brotha understand wtf is happening in Dung town? [Reply]
I'll also add this... early on in the season, the team started off way too slow. Since benching Flaccco, they've done much better early. They've scored 23 and 38 points the last 2 weeks, but only 13 total after halftime. They can't do that this week... [Reply]

I won't speak for him, but I don't think the team ever went into a "tanking on purpose" mode. They just played like hell. I'm glad they didn't go into full tank mode. I'd rather them take their shot wherever they fall in the draft, but not to tank half a season on purpose. How often does that really work out? [Reply]

I agree. They can’t score 23 or 38 in the first half this week. Defense has only averaged giving up 14.5 a game the last 3 games. [Reply]
