Football Looking ahead to Sunday Night - Page 5

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.

You... Don't seem so nice.

CJ Anderson is a turd. REALLY hard to run the ball when teams don't give a **** if you run it.

Well, he's our turd... and he's the best we have, he did well, so we'll keep him.

Pasta Little Brioni · 11-24-2014, 02:53 PM

Well at least some one finally had a decent game. Kind of sad it took your o line being completely embarrased to finally have a decent game rushing. If they stick with it Denver is dangerous. They'd rather play soft though so no worries.

It is what it is... maybe Charles won't break down at the start of a big game, you need him.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 11-24-2014, 02:55 PM

I've been predicting a win in this game for weeks now. I believe you when you say is not reverse mojo. Denver looks very beatable right now, and I'm confident that with the extra prep time and a sing in their belles over the shit way they played in prime time to a winless team, they're going to come out with something to prove.

KC 31
Denver 20

Pasta Little Brioni · 11-24-2014, 02:56 PM

....yet it still took an awful call by the refs to protect a lead without Charles in Pile High. I do agree they win the first meeting with him. 134 yards without him...nice

I don't know that I see 31... but, it will be close.

Crazy how it always comes down to an awful call when KC loses, seems like that has been the case 4 times this year. One day, you guys will witness a clean loss, I just hope it's Sunday.

The last meeting, where Denver had a pick-6 erased due to an unrelated penalty? OK.

Denver is the most penalized team in the league. In terms of net penalties, Denver is #31, having 33 more penalties called against them than against their opponents. KC is #2, receiving 20 more beneficial penalties than their opponents.

Well, losing @ SEA and @ NEP isn't totally shocking - the Rams, yes.
