I really want to say yes. But I have been a fan since 1988...
I have had my heart ripped out and shown to my face so many times.... I am very reluctant to go all in just yet. Call it decades of being "Battered Chiefs Fan Syndrome".... Just do something for a change! |

Looks like 1-1, for what it's worth. Pats played SF in 2004, but Smith came into the league in '05. Pats played SF in '08, but Brady was out all year with an ACL. Pats played SF in '12, and loss, but to Kaepernick. Then just the MNF blowout loss, and the playoff win, both against Smith. Unless I missed one somehow.

The offense is not good. Most people here understand that. They aren't going to score on Pittsburgh on the road in the playoffs.
The defense is living off mistakes that the caliber of teams you see in the postseason are not going to make very often. This is the 1995 formula with a defense that is nowhere near what that defense was. Sad to say it, but that was a top ranked defense across the board, this one is hanging on for dear life apart from the turnovers. A sustainable success would be if we learned how to stop the run, or someone besides Peters could defend the pass. As it stands, despite winning on a pick-two - after the defense coughed up what would have been the game losing score - no, nothing flukey is going on here - we don't have a defense that is going to stop a Brady or whoever. They can just keep an extra blocker or two and run all day or throw all day. |

I said it in February, Nate is no longer ahead of the curve nor mining any unique data from which he has a reliability factor advantage. 538 is not a vanguard and shouldn't be treated as some gold standard.

Yes, the 2 point INT was a lucky play. However, even if it was a 27-28 game, the offense already proved that they executed to move the ball and get us into FG position and win with a last second FG. I honestly think we would have scored if Berry didn't make that unnecessary. That team stepped up and executed in all 3 phases to grind out a win. To shrug it off to dumb luck is to rob them of what they battled for.

I give them a 50% chance if Pitt doesn't make the playoffs.
15% chance if they do...

I'm not.
They've got a legit offense and yet people seem to find a way to beat them.

The more I watch this team I think (and I can certainly be wrong) that Alex Smith often looks like shit because Andy Reid goes into a shell and tries to stay close to the chest once he thinks he can win. When we need points it's not often that we can't/don't get them, and once we're ahead we NEVER go for the throat. I hate this.
But the more I'm watching the more I see KC as a team that is really hard to beat. We don't dominate anyone, and it always look like we find a flukey way to win, but we win. I wish we went out and crushed people like that 18-1 Pats team a few years ago, but that's just not how this team does it. But shit, 19-3 over the last 22 games is ****ing insane. We are not going to be an easy out in the playoffs, ESPECIALLY if we're playing at Arrowhead. |
