Ah, Clay doing God’s work again. Bless you, my dear, sweet, lil troll.

I told anybody that would listen for weeks that New England was being overrated due to their schedule. They don't have any control over that, obviously, but their record and their rankings were, I thought, completely a product of playing a half season string of really, really bad teams. And I believe the last month has proven that true.

If we lose, it's because our coaching staff is overmatched. The Chiefs are a better team, roster versus roster. But I fully expect expect they'll just have Brady hand the ball off until we show we can stop them from running over us. And Spags was brought in specifically to beat this team. If we can't stop them on third down again, like in the AFCCG,.it was all for naught.

I just don't know if this team in KC can put together a solid 4 quarter effort against a quality team. I've seen way too many games under Reid where they either start hot and then call on their face in the 2nd half, or start cold and then have to go batshit crazy late to get back into it.

How about the situational football improvements on D this year?

2019 to date:
- 12th RZ %
- 14th in 3rd down %
- 16th in PPG allowed

2018:
- 31st in RZ %
- 24th in 3rd down %
- 24th in PPG allowed

And the best part is that I would bet the 1st half of the season compared to the 2nd half would show us making great strides recently

Ya'll notice that Hardman has barely touched the ball lately?

Oh yeah. Andy's going in dry.

This will be his magnum opus.

Too bad we then have to turn around and do it again in January.

That’s usually how it goes...
[Reply]

So what do you do? You don’t want to shoot your load too early, so are we better off trying to beat the Pats without showing everything we got?

It’s even more tough considering we have to go to their house both times.

I think the whole "don't show this, don't show that" thing is overblown.

Go unload the gun, then do it again. See what happens.

I thought about this a few times. It's tough. Beating them twice in NE is gonna be very tough even with them struggling a little right now. But you obviously don't want to tell your team to play possum. Not a great sign. Perhaps you do play it a little closer to the vest. Try some stuff out defensively a few times and see if it works?

As a fan I think I'm just going to go all in and hope we kill them. Might make it harder to win in January but what the hell. Enjoy the great games when you can.

This was the same 'don't quit' attitude that Ron Jeremy had - well done O.city - well done, sir.

bravely ran away away...

they have like 15 inches of snow there currently - probably will be colder than it was on Sunday as well. Just a thought - doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Also nice job Clay. an eye for an eye.

The New England Patriots have 22 more yards rushing than the Kansas City Chiefs on the season, despite rushing 62 more times.

Their 3.5 YPC average on the season is tied for 28th in the league, just ahead of CHI (3.5), NYJ (3.3), and MIA (3.1).

So their running attack is even worse than ours. Somehow.
