Bill has gameplanned for much better offenses throughout his career, and just like he did in the 1st half of the week 6 game, he will confuse the shit out of Mahomes.
Not much needs to be said about your defense. We will take anything we want from that unit, be it on the ground or through the air. Your defense will be a spectator in this game, just like the rest of us.
Why couldn't Bill confuse the shit out of the Lions, Jaguars, Titans, Dolphins or Steelers? It seems he was the one confused, scoring 16 ppg.
Hell, he couldn't even slow down the Bears' mediocre offense, and only won because they were gifted a couple defensive scores. Chicago piled up 450+ on that lame defense.
Your defense sucks on the road. Your offense sucks on the road. KC's D is much better than during the first meeting. KC has allowed 17ppg at home. KC has scored at a historic rate and has a healthy offensive unit for the first time in many weeks.

Why was this the case?
Was there not a single soul on the roster that would have been a better choice for this assignment?
Was there something the Patriots did to make that matchup occur?
In other words, did the Chiefs coaches fuck it up or did the Patriots manipulate the coverage?
Tertiary question later.
I am really curious what the perspective is on this as this kind of situation may happen again. [Reply]

Chiefs coaches (calling Bob Sutton) completely fucked up leaving a HOF TE (albeit on his last legs...literally) to be covered by Shaw who had played a total of 13 snaps for the Chiefs prior to that New England game. Could we have made it any easier for Brady on that last drive? No. [Reply]
