It's Playoff Arrowhead, shit will definitely be different [Reply]
I'm just worried that if Davis went off for 4 TDs against this defense, then Chase might go off for 8. The defensive secondary was in complete disarray. [Reply]
I said this in another thread, but I'll say it here too.
We played the game without Honey Badger from the first drive on. His presence allows so much in terms of disguising coverages and secondary communication.
We played huge chunks of the game with our #4 and #5 corners and still, Did Diggs or Beasley kill us? No. It was their #3 receiver that killed us. I don't think you can ask for much more under the circumstances. Hats off to Allen, I didn't think he'd have the mental toughness to stand in there and hit the #3 on his reads.
Pass rush was not good enough, and that's a problem. But then again, Allen is tough to sack. [Reply]
The pass rush was ok I thought. Allen just got away a lot. We had guys in the backfield enough to get stops. As long as they finish against Burrow, we'll get them off the field enough to outscore them. The bengals line just gave up 9 sacks. Pressure will be fine. Getting Mathieu back is key. [Reply]
As I mentioned in another thread I know Chris Jones is looking forward to going against our OL but Titans have an elite DL and are 11th in sacks in the NFL. Chiefs are 29th so won't be quite as easy to pull off what they did.
Everyone expects Chiefs to win and the line validates that. Bengals can just keep playing like they have nothing to lose. If we were playing anyone else but the Chiefs and Mahomes that would work in our favor but they have been in this spot and won't feel the pressure. I do think Chiefs will win but also think it will be closer than some of you are predicting.
BTW, great f'ing game last night. One of the best I have ever watched. [Reply]

Arrowhead stadium is a tough place for a young QB to play. Burrow is smart and talented but it could get rough for him. [Reply]
I think the Chiefs saw the betting line a couple of weeks ago when they played and wasn't as sharp as they could of been. Not to mention Chase and Burrow both played out of their collective minds. Will be a good game but I don't routinely bet on one team beating the other twice in the same season. Especially when the underdog won the first meeting. [Reply]

9 is a crazy number, but the Chiefs had 4 just a month ago in Cincinnati.
Without the advantage the crowd noise in Arrowhead will give their pass rushers.
They would have had about 6 last night against a less freakish QB. [Reply]

They were decimated by injuries.
They have a week to figure out a new game plan that accommodates all of those backups. [Reply]

Their offensive line is not good. Our pass rush delivers, we're going to cause some serious problems. If our pass rush doesn't, our secondary is going to be out there matched up with Chase, Higgins and Boyd and we're going to be in a real battle.
So we better pray to the football Gods that Chris Jones calf injury isn’t too bad. [Reply]
