The Chiefs are just more talented IMO. The matchups to me are pretty favorable for KC. And as they proved today, they can get pressure on even the best of offensive lines with just 4 rushers. I like our offensive weapons as a whole a lot more, and the biggy.... Mahomes > Brees.
Any SB would be tough and a good game but I feel confidence. I believe wholeheartedly that this is our year.
If the Chiefs play defense like they did yesterday, the only team that has a chance of beating them is the Rams. [Reply]
If the defense that was on that field today shows up next week it won't matter who we play. There can be 11 Jesus Christs on that field and we will destroy them. Today's defense will win the Superbowl.
Edit- replace today with yesterday. Yesterday was so amazing I almost don't want it to end, except that's mean next week wouldn't come.. [Reply]

They impressed me with their ground game tonight but I think McVay will be more hesitant to pound the rock like that if he’s playing an offense that can really apply pressure on his own O, unlike the Cowboys [Reply]
I don't care who the Chiefs play because we are SB bound regardless.
NE--We are much more talented with this game at home, I'm taking KC. Gordon is gone. They have Edelman and a hobbled Gronk. Brady isn't the same Brady and this defense is much different than the one that played them early in the year. NE is done with being the NFL darling so I'd expect to be treated fairly by the refs.
LAC--This will be the 4th road game in a row. I'm not sure how much that affects players but I'd think it would start wearing them down. Especially since it's back to back cross country (Baltimore and NE). Rivers is a choke artist in big games. Their win was a fluke and it should be 10 straight going into this game. They won't have the refs calling bs PI for them. [Reply]

We might have seen a defensive breakthrough the last two weeks.
Marty’s info may have been legit, in fact, I think it likely was. But still yet, credit to the players for stepping up their effort and intensity above all else. [Reply]

I don’t think that’s impossible, but it certainly looks a lot tougher now than it did a month ago.
The thing about this football team, the thing that gives me the most faith, is the immeasurable things. They really believe in each other and they play their asses off for each other, not themselves. They’re a family.
That’s ****ing dangerous when you’re already just more physically gifted than most of your opponents.
I am not worried about other teams running game. It is useful if they get a lead, but look what it did to the Colts in the second half- they were burning valuable time off the clock. Running the ball was hurting their chances to get the 3 scores back they were behind. Oh no, they ripped off a 7 yard run- but they also burned a minute twenty off the clock. Teams will have to keep up through the air. [Reply]

I agree. I think it was much easier for LA to run tonight because they knew that the Dalllas passing game was a minor threat at best. [Reply]

We have been hearing about other teams running game all year- Jags, Ravens ect- but most abandoned them after falling behind 2 scores.
Our offense is so dynamic and explosive. We can beat teams with the long ball, short game, power running, reverses for TD's, gut them in the middle with Kelce. Colts were supposed to win the Time of Possession with their Powerful running game- but didn't work. [Reply]
