Way less comfortable with this game than I was a month ago. They can run the ball and their D line played great today. I’m 60% we win like a 24-17 game. Wouldn’t be shocked at all at this point if we lost, however. [Reply]

Yeah, I'll just be happy to see them at 3-4 after Thursday night at this point.
Lose this one and KC has a lot of problems on their hands though... with Packers, Vikings, @ TEN and @ LAC before the bye. I don't think they want to be 4-3 heading into that stretch. [Reply]

JFC Vikings and Titans might run the ball 50+ times on us.
The Chargers are probably the one team that can't run on the Chiefs. [Reply]

Not exactly confident...
Nope, SB50, SBXXXIII, and SBXXXII were our SB's.
You guys are missing about half of the guys we lost in SB48.
I expect Lindsay and Freeman to run up and down on you guys especially with Jones out but at some point Flaccid is going to have to pass. He has been good for ONE 40+ yard pass per game the last 3-4 weeks but we will need one of those a quarter and to get TD's in the redzone, not FG's. I think mmHinomes does enough paired with the child beater to abuse our D and win a game the Broncos maybe make close at the end. Your team has lost leads the last couple games and should have lost at Detroit too.
It will be interesting if Johnson can cover Kelce, he has been a tackling machine and picked off Rivers, should have had 2 that game, but Kelce will show if he was feasting against bad teams or if he can be a stud starter.
Dawson and the other Harris have stabilized the CB position and with Jackson playing like his hair is on fire at Safety the Secondary has suddenly improved. It will really be on Purcell at DT, Walker (who got Gotsis Benched), and Reed to get off their blocks and feast on your backup LT. Would be nice to see Vic move Von around like they used to do with Meck pre-snap so your OL has to make a split second choice on how to double him quickly. Since Chubb went down teams have doubled and tripled Von yet he still had enough pressure last week to cause a couple INT's.
I am afraid that our bad OC will try to feature his 1st round toy, Fant just isn't ready to play as a featured player in the NFL, they need to slowly work him in and give him some confidence, instead they have him drinking from a firehose and outside a few nice catches he has done nothing. Plus his run blocking is terrible. I would have IRMan start at TE and feed him as much as possible.
I would also run lots of play action out of the I formation and use Jano like they did in the 1st game vs you last year where he was an impact player. Then radio went full radio and forgot Jano was on the team. Jano is good at catching the ball out of the backfield.
At the very least I just want to see growth. I didn't have any expectations for a playoff run this year after what Radio did last year and with a 2nd firsttime HC. Vic has been awful with his game & time management and situational awareness along with lack of 2nd half adjustments which have let teams back into games like the Jags and SD.
I expect you guys to win this one by 2 scores but would be happy to see the team making you earn it.

However.
Their QB and WR situation is putrid.
Vegas says Chiefs -4.5
What say you?
I wish that gave me comfort. But you could have put in Nathan Peterman at qb for indy and they would have still run all over us. Doesn't take a great qb to hand the ball off. We have got to be better vs the run. [Reply]
