I think if we play 100x at Arrowhead, we win something like 70% of the time. We’ll see how next weekend goes. |

You’re right - I’m on drugs. Confused it with the Thanksgiving game that Chase Daniel started.

Yes, there are key plays and there are keys plays, and bounces are bounces, as a missed tackle is a missed tackle. But I think to be honest my point is directed to one of likelihood and percentages. That play by the Phins was the longest play to win a game since the Merger in 1970, some 48 years of football. So it is a very low percentage, as opposed to not stopping an opponent on a 4&2 and they go on the win. Anyhoot, my point was not one of complaining but to recognize that we were close to the #1. And also close to the #3 seed had Chicago converted that hail mary you mentioned. So things can even out in the end as you mentioned. I like our chances better in Arrowhead after our game today. And agree that the needle points in favor of the Chiefs in this game if we played it 10 times, that the chiefs will win more than 5 of the games and maybe closer to 7 of them. The only thing that I am hoping for is that the Pats come out hungry (maybe even trying to harbor some revenge for the 2014 spanking we got), and if we can play clean, we got a shot. If the 2014 team shows up (or the one that got embarrassed a few times this year on the road) this game could be over at halftime. |

Yes, our RBs will be key. Glad that White and Michel are healthy. Burkhead is a good filler but it will be tough if White or Michel gets hurt. With our WRs down a bit (wished we still had Amendola) and Gronk's roll to date reduced, our RBs are key for us. We just need to play clean on Sunday. Mahomes played cooled and calm yesterday and that does not bode well for the pats who have to deal with the double head monster of Mahomes and the Arrowhead faithful. Yes it will be a fun chess match if the Pats can succeed in the manner you mentioned. If we can sustained drives, it will take the crowd of the game somewhat and maybe disrupt the rhythm of the Chiefs offense a bit. On my side of things my biggest worry is if we can not stop Mahomes straight up and if the crowd can disrupt our signal calling. Looking forward to the game. |

I see the Chiefs putting up 38-40 on offense and a ton of pressure on defense. |
