Congrats on a Great Year, the #2 Seed, and Looking Forward to Pats/Chiefs AFCCG
 

I just wanted to say congrats to the Chiefs on a great year. The stars really couldn't have aligned much better for the Pats and Chiefs to meet in the AFCCG this year. I'm sure you guys are rooting against the Pats in the divisional round so you get home field for the championship game, but I'm counting on seeing Pats/Chiefs in Foxboro on Sunday, January 22.

Dude we will paste the Pats in foxhole.....

This team is steam rolling through the playoffs...

Everybody get him!

Your total confidence and 2 bucks will buy you a cup of coffee....


...though not at Gillette. Coffee there is probably more like ten bucks.

:#

Brady be like, "Anyone, but the Chiefs"

LMAO

Apparently can't dodge a wrench either

Haha Pats fan is just hoping they don't have to face the Steelers.

Yeah, really the only reason I would prefer NE lose is that it would be at Foxboro... but part of me wants us to take the hard route too, which means through NE. I don't want any excuses or * if we do indeed get it done this year.

If we make it to that game, it should be fantastic. I am really excited to see how Belichick will approach gameplanning for our offense because there isn't really just one guy who you can bracket (ala TY Hilton in the past).

I hope the game happens.

ROFL i loled

I know the feeling.

In no world, does the patriots play the steelers, unless the steelers beat us... Then its the AFC champ game between pitt and NE instead of KC and NE

Bring it on!

:bang: :bang: :bang:

I would MUCH rather play Pittsburgh than KC if I was a Patriots fan.

KC presents more weapons all around offensively, a QB who can run, and a much better defense that can make game changing plays. Maybe they don't see it that way, but I sure would..

Pittsburgh blew out the Chiefs.

The GOAT be like "I think I got this".

That doesn't work in the NFL dude. Its a matchup league. Not to mention they were coming off of a blowout loss against the Eagles, playing at home on SNF....

If you're using that logic, the Chiefs beat the Pats and Seahawks in 2014 while losing to the 2-14 Titans.

Actually I'll take Steelers over Chiefs. The usual "any given Sunday" applies, but Pats have completely owned the Steelers for 15 years to be honest. Ben/Bell/Brown are scary, but teams with no defense never beat the Pats.

The way the Pats lose is ALWAYS when the DL controls our OL and Brady has no time. That is basically the only formula for beating the Pats, and the Chiefs might have that formula with Ford/Houston, while the Steelers definitely do not.

That is in fact exactly how I see it.

Don't forget Chris Jones and Poe... I think interior pressure is as or more important against Brady than anything and Jones gives us that in a way we haven't had in recent years. NE seems to be protecting Brady pretty well though. How did they block against DEN?

Thanks man.

I'm damn excited but I have (hope I have) divorced myself from expectations in the playoffs. After the Indy debacle, I am shootinfor just wnjoying the ride.

Best of luck.

And die in a fire:).

PS. I've got an email I need to send your direction.

bing. we beat the steelers we will win the superbowl

Alex Smith is fine but I wouldn't call him the GOAT

sjayme.

You're real smart.

So here's the deal with the Pats OL -- it is MUCH better in 2016 than it was in 2015. I won't go on and on, but here's the bottom line:

1. Marcus Cannon is one MILLION times better this year than last year. Proof: He allowed fewer QB pressures/sacks in ALL of 2016 than he did in the 2015 playoff game against Denver alone. And completely stoned Von Miller in 2016 as part of that.

2. Nate Solder (IR last year) is healthy and playing well at LT.

3. Young OL better this year.

4. Dante Scarnecchia is back, and has really improved the whole OL.


It's like night and day. We CAN run the ball. We CAN pass protect. Amazing but true!

Why? Just because Brady threw for more yards and TD in 12 games than Alex in 16?


:Poke:

Take it easy.

Yards and TDs are overrated. Alex has HEART!!!!!!

Agreed. The most notable difference by far. Losing Gronk hurts less considering how solid that O-line has played. Brady gets all the attention, but his job has been made so much easier this year because that Pats O-line is legit.

No defense? Steelers had 10 more sacks than the Chiefs. #12 ranked D. (Chiefs #24)

About what I figured... Scarnecchia was a nice boost.

That crazy old man is nails.

My favorite Scar story -- all NFL players and coaches must make themselves available to the media on Super Bowl media day so Scar -- who hates talking to reporters -- sits WAAAAY up in the nosebleed section of the stadium. Any reporter who wants to speak with him must pay the iron price of climbing all those steps.

My favor Scar fact -- he was once the interim Patriots head coach.....


....in 1992. After Dick MacPherson got sick the year before he was fired and the Pats hired Parcells.

Well, yeah, but they played the Browns twice. That's got to be 20 sacks or so.

Agreed. And I'll take Chiefs D, but this myth that the Steelers suck on defense is wishful thinking.

That's cute but that's not how we measure QBs in KC. Check downs is where it's at my chowder eating friend. And Alex Smith has dominated in check downs for over a decade. ;)

The Chiefs played the Broncos twice...

Tap on this would ya?

The Browns surrendered 66 sacks this year to Denver's 40.

Okay, that made me smile. I'll give you points for that.

I thought our DL would the deciding factor in last year's game and in a way, it was. They utterly failed us and no other group was able to pick up the slack. We missed some INTs and had the fumble by Davis go against us as well. If the DL can pressure Brady this time then maybe things turn out our way. I've seen the DL play really well this year and play like they don't really care. I've got the feeling Houston just won't be a factor in the playoffs again so our other guys need to step up big time.

****ing great...

Usually we all root for the underdog and all, but I am amused by the treatment of the Patriots as the NFL's Death Star. If you watch sports coverage, it's all "who can stop the Patriots?"

Not a complaint. Not at all. It's really a compliment actually, so can't complain.

Well yeah. That's a real possibility.

Whelp. A cock picked us.

I'm certainly not confident the Chiefs can top the Pats on the road. I feel like we would have about a 35% chance.

actually he knows the game pretty well, he's just a cock. I like the love he gave us. It's not like it was Herm. :)

More like 135%!!!

Can't wait for Brady's dick to break and him to turn into Manning.

That was your plan? Get her!

The Chiefs are the Ewoks that will bring down your evil empire.

Houston and Ford are like the two logs coming in to smash the AT-AT from the sides?


Meanwhile, this must be Tyreek Hill

And we know who wears the hoodie in those movies. This is all playing out.

You think the players forgot, or don't want another shot?

I know I would.


That game was fluky.

Pittsburgh jumped way on top very early and held on. Not too much unlike some of our own dreaded 'foot off the gas' games under Andy, only they had a 22 point cushion instead of 17.

So if its the Chiefs/Falcons in the Super Bowl, Skip "may not show up"? Why the hell not? Did he not watch the Chiefs vs Falcons earlier this season? It was a great game. What...if it's not the usual darlings in the Super Bowl for the ****ing thousandth time he's not interested? Go **** yourself.

As long as we monitor the ball pressure in Foxborough, we'll be fine.

Yes, that determination was made long ago.

It was one game and a lot can change. But it's also the most meaningful data point we have regarding how they match up.

Right, because Brady has definitely not been totally dominant since Deflategate!

Chill

The interesting thing, to me, is that KC played NE in almost the same environment last season. Sutton should have a basic idea of how McDaniels is going to attack KC. No Gronk this time adds a new twist as does having Houston healthy...Edleman is the guy that the Chiefs have to stop.

On the other side is where KC has the advantage...Maclin, Ware, West were all out. Chiefs didn't have Hill or Schwartz. Tyreek has opened up the other positions since he started scoring 60 yard TDs every game. Kelce setting records is because they have to account for Hill. Smith is running again because teams cant afford a spy. Defenses cant just double Maclin anymore. Its not a surprise that Connely had a good game against SD...

Bottom line is Hill was Reid's missing blue-chip piece to the puzzle....

This will be a great chess match between Andy and Belichick...if KC gets that far.

According to you the NFL is rigged, so how does anything you said above have anything to do with the potential outcome of the game?

It is rigged...my post was based on a game where the refs/ NYC "command center"/profit have no determining influence. I still enjoy the strategic aspect of the sport...

I have no delusions in that the NFL would much rather have a Steelers/Patriots AFCC....we're talking 10's (if not 100's) of millions of dollars at stake.

*edit* just realized you're a Donko troll...so...go fuck yourself.

Going against Pittsburgh & New England wouldn't be the easy route.

About time somebody dethroned the Pats and Steelers..playing in those weak ass divisions.

:D

We had no run game last year, and it's the Patriots. They never really do anything the same way twice. They "spin the dial" better than any NFL team. It's why they've been ridiculous for so damn long. That and Mr. GOAT of course.


Agreed that your offense is better. So is the Patriots defense ---- in theory. It seems better, it's statistically better, etc., but the quality of opponents has been lacking.

Will be a good game I think. One that the Pats should win, but not a slam dunk by any means I don't think.

Do you live over there OP?

Ne isn't going to the SB. Whoever wins the Pitt/KC game is SB bound.

The Chiefs are very unlikely to win at Foxboro. That is very clear in my mind. Im hoping for a good game though
..

I'm just hoping for a Brady career-ender in their first playoff game! Is that too much to ask for?

I'm trying to remember all of the injuries in last year's game.

Houston - out
Maclin - out

I know I'm missing a few others.

Not understanding the smiley face.

When was the last time the Pats played a SOS in the top 1/4 of the league? AFC East has been a joke for too long. The North is a tough division though with regards to the style of play. Lewis and Harbaugh are good coaches that just need a few more pieces. Pitt has that explosive offense, but coaching and consistency are issues.

It is a good thing the AFC WEST is competitive again. Both the Chiefs and Raiders earned their stripes this year playing tougher schedules than first anticipated. Battle tested. Here's to hoping the Steelers and Pats get roughed up somewhat before facing KC.
