Football Looking ahead to Sunday Night - Page 14

Mile High Mania · 11-24-2014, 10:34 AM

What can the last game at KC tell us ... if anything? First glance, KC let off the throttle - enjoyed a 1H lead thanks to the KO return and Manning/Decker were insanely in synch, especially after halftime.

Should be a cold one, as the high looks like 37 with a low of 29 - so at kickoff it's likely freezing. We'll see, the high on Saturday is 57 and on Monday it's 46, but it doesn't look like it will be wet, so that's good.

The game @ KC a year ago had much warmer temp on 12/1 with 55 degrees at kickoff, so it will be about 20 degrees colder for SNF. Simply being cold and loud is ok, not ideal - but ok.

Last year, the Chiefs were up 21-14 at the half and down 35-21 with 7 minutes left before they scored, making it a 35-28 victory.

KC scored a TD on a 108 yd KO return (Davis), had more rushing yards as a team, won the TO battle and ended with a slight advantage on TOP. And while intercepting Manning twice - they couldn't stop him, and with the KC offense not being set up to win a passing battle, it hurt KC. Although, Smith had nearly 300 yards and 2 TDs.

Eric Decker went nuts (4 TDs total) as he caught 3 in the 2nd half, with Manning throwing for 5 TDs and over 400 yds. Montee Ball actually had a good day. Decker and Ball our gone, replaced by Sanders and CJ Anderson this year.

Travis Kelce is a big add for KC in this one and we'll see what they can do with Avant. Denver's defense can't stop anyone on 3rd down and TEs kill them.

I don't see a combined point total over 60 points again - more like 20-17 (KC), but we'll see what happens.

Manning is only 2 TDs and 243 yards off his record pace in 2013 through 11 games, but the ground game is different now ... and while the defense should be better, they haven't played like it lately consistently enough.

Denver needs Julius back in the lineup.. interestingly enough, he didn't play last year in KC either. Julius returning to the lineup is key for me if Denver can win. If Julius isn't playing, Denver loses... I just think he means that much in a game like this on the road.

Say what you will about reverse mojo, but I'm not expecting a Denver win here... not after the way they've played over the last month.

Obviously, I'm fine being wrong here. Let's have some fun this week.

How can you guys post with Donkey spunk in your eyes?

**notorious** · 11-27-2014, 10:06 PM

It's not kissing Bronco ass, it's stating fact.

They have a better franchise than the Chiefs. It's obvious.

Thank you Capt Obvious.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was watching Bumgarner pitch, with Buck calling the game. LOL

I'm envious of what they've been able to accomplish in my lifetime. Hoping we can start to change some culture this Sunday. Would be a pleasent step for the future to beat down Peyton.. for once.

Sadly it sucks. But its the truth. Over the last 30,years they have been relevant unlike the chiefs.

For that I hate that donkey scum.

**Bearcat** · 11-27-2014, 10:14 PM

Because asking how many losing seasons they've had in the past couple of decades and saying Chiefs fans would wet themselves if the Chiefs were just as good is just slobbering over the Broncos.

BRB, gotta finish.

Why are you questioning our posts if it's so obvious?

**Bearcat** · 11-27-2014, 10:15 PM

I'll anxiously wait a thread bump if the Chiefs win Sunday night... how awesome are they now?!?!?

I will take people pounding their chests if it means a Chiefs win every single time.

Of course, since ya know, we don't actually love the Broncos.

MMXcalibur · 11-27-2014, 10:18 PM

If we can't get up for beating the Broncos with these factors:

- coming off a close loss to an inferior team
- with one of our own players suffering from a life threatening illness
- said player giving a heartfelt message to the team
- on a Sunday Night Football game at home with the crowd roaring
- the division/playoff implications

...then we are never beating the Broncos with Manning at quarterback.
Ever.

I'm not too terribly concerned about the heir apparent right now. Since 1984, I think Denver has only had 5 seasons less than .500 - but get ready for the worst, I suppose.

Tried to troll Donkey fans, ended up trolling Chiefs fans without even trying.

That was fun.
