Football Looking ahead to Sunday Night - Page 8

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.

Chiefs can't win against 14 men on the field. Cheating Donks.

They also started right out of the gate with IND, KC, SEA, AZ, SF ... they didn't get it easy.

You only beat AZ because you knocked out his starting QB out of the gate and held on against a weak Chiefs team because you dirty Donks knocked out Charles.

Turn those games into losses and take away all those gift flags and 11 straight home games and you are all 3-7-1 coming into this game.

Please. Davis did fine filling in for Charles... as if Charles hasn't gimped out of a big game before.

I was 100% trolling. The Eric Berry news has left me pretty devastated. I apologize for messing around.

Peyton Manning is going to wake up thinking he's been doing laundry in the basement with the Sisters of Shawshank at the end of this game.

I wish I could tell you that the broncos fought the good fight, and the Chiefss let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but Arrowhead is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all Saw on National TV. Things went on like that for awhile - Arrowhead games consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Manning would be helped up with fresh bruises. The Chiefs kept at him - sometimes he was able to complete a pass, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Denver - that was their routine. I do believe those 4 quarters were the worst for Manning, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.

Sucks about Berry.

How the NFL schedules hell for the Broncos:

*at Seattle
*at SF
(If NFL had known AZ is best Broncos would have played in AZ)
*at NE (again and again and again, KC got them at home)
*at KC late in the season (again)
*super early bye

Just a few examples...

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 11-24-2014, 04:17 PM

Never mind. We're ****ed. You win again.

**Iowanian** · 11-24-2014, 04:17 PM

Stop whining, Donk. The Chiefs beat Seattle....Seattle SmASHED Denver....the Chiefs put up a 50-burger on NE....NE smashed the Denver.

Adrian Pederson's worst behaved kid is going to be envious of the beating the Donks are going to get Sunday night.

Did they get Elam out of retirement?

Nice to know that we're not the only ones with kicker problems.

Huh? Santos has been solid this year.

Another NFL favor-Prater drinks a beer and gets a 4 game suspension. Ray Rice punches out fiancé and gets 2 game suspension. Just say'n...
