He needs to play man to man, double cover Edelman and put someone fast on White. Force Brady to beat us by throwing down field. If we do that, we win. [Reply]

Realistically no one knows. He could certainly play. I'd say the odds are somewhere between 25-35%. But Chiefs fans are exhausted with the entire saga and would much rather assume the worst. [Reply]
But as far as I'm concerned, we're playing with house money. My hope for the season was that Mahomes would play well and that we would win a play-off game against an actual NFL QB. (Brian Hoyer does not count.)
We broke the Colts curse, Mahomes is the MVP, the future is oh-so-fucking-bright.
I'm glad it's Brady and Belichick. I want the GOAT. Let's see if we're really THERE or not. Let's measure up to the best there has ever been. Let's see where we are.
If we lose, well, it won't hurt like other seasons. I KNOW we're just at the beginning of a great ride. I KNOW we'll be better in 2019 than 2018.
Don't get me wrong, I want to WIN. BAD. I want OUR TIME to begin NOW. But, if it's not yet, then that's alright.
Now let's go shove the football up Brady's ass. [Reply]
The last two times we pummeled the patriots, it was because our linebackers hung out close to the line of scrimmage, we played hard-core man-to-man, and justin houston dropped back in to short coverage to make the pick-play crossing route WRs pay dearly with some big-time hits.
With our d-line, do it again.....take your chances with the deep ball (that brady no longer legitimately has in his arsenal - especially with the cold weather). [Reply]
Chiefs need to stop their running game more than anything. Sony Michel had 130yds w/ a TD hat trick. That partially may be due to Chargers def gameplan playing zone coverage w/ 7-8 DB's, but it's important KC makes a statement early and stops them running the ball.
If the temp is going to be hovering around 0deg, I highly doubt Brady is going to chuckin it downfield much. He's a dink n dunker at this stage in his career anyways...and this year especially.
He doesn't have the arm to toss the rock in the cold anymore. [Reply]

37 of bradys passes were within 5 yards against the chargers. I cant believe they stayed with that base zone defense for most of the game. They just let brady pick them apart. Along with applying no pressure, they basically just let the Patriots do what they wanted.
Getting pressure up the middle and outside is where the chiefs strength is. Get after brady and make him uncomfortable in the pocket while playing press man on the receivers is how you beat the patriots offense.
Another thing about brady is his cadance and how he really comes to rely on it when they're home. Tuff to take that on the road in a place like arrowhead where no one will be able to hear anything. Bradys legs/footwork is what's going. Not his arm. Take away his pocket and make him uncomfortable and he will be off his game. [Reply]

Noooooooooo.
Pe.
We're at home. We're favored. And we're the better team.
Yeah, we'll be here more years than not for the next 10-15 years. But that doesn't make me -- or all these guys, especially the ones who won't be around for that time -- want it any less right now. [Reply]

The patriots were 3-5 on the road this year. All their losses came on the road to shitty teams. They are not a road team. I know everyone talks about brady in the playoffs and how its different. At NE it is different. His AFCC games on the road, however, are...3-5. This is manifest destiny.
Also, the Patriots had the 27th hardest schedule in the NFL in 2018. They had the 6th easiest schedule, and managed to go 11-5. They are not some juggernaut powerhouse. They played a perfect puntless game against the chiefs in week 6. They played flawless and still only won in their stadium by 3...
Mahomes had 2 INT's in the redzone and had a few early passes where he missed wide open receivers streaking to the endzone. I think they both might have been overthrows to Hunt on two separate drives. We also had plenty of stupid penalties. [Reply]
Without mentioning the past, I haven’t heard a compelling reason to pick the Patriots in this one.
The Patriots suck on the road this year. The Chiefs are great at home.
The Chiefs will have no problem scoring on the Patriots. The Chiefs have arguably the best trio of pass rushers in the league. The Chiefs have the advantage at QB, WR, and TE this year.
I just don’t see the undeniable advantage for the Patriots. [Reply]
