Moreover, I always think the away team wants the ball to start the second half when the stadium is half empty and it's much quieter.

Belichik knows we want to defer. And maybe he'll play into it as an intimidation tactic.

I actually didn't think of that, you're right. That stadium will be LOUD. Probably the biggest game at arrowhead since we entered the year 2000. Maybe longer. Either way, cannot play from behind. Visions of being down 14-0 and then like 21-7 mid 3rd and then 28-10. Need to keep it close early or you guys will absolutely destroy us. I don't see a second half comeback down 14+.

We ripped their hearts out and flushed it down the can.

I'm at a hotel bar. Couple hundred miles NE of Damascus. Syria.

Bartender asks who people want to win. It was 90% Chiefs. Those who supported the Patriots happened to be ISIS freedom fighters. They strangely had an attraction to NE.

Dislike of your team is a universal language.

Just caught a clip on NFL Network that showed Berry at practice in what appeared to be tight man coverage on a player who was wearing the ‘87’ scout team jersey.

It’s pretty much official. Berry is sticking on Gronk. Which also means he’ll be closer to the LOS to help with the run defense.

It's time to let 'ol painless out the bag.

thats where he made the most impact in the past. But, with a broken down Gronk, maybe he’s better used elsewhere?

Worthless stat: Any QB who has thrown 50 touchdowns has made the Superbowl, but lost. Very small number so its worthless, but will be interesting to see if Mahomes can do what Brady/Peyton could not.

Well we don’t know what level of Berry we’re getting either at this point BUT Gronk had one of his best games of the year against KC week 6 so I’m fine with doing what it takes to cover him up as well as possible.

I want to go one on one across the board, tight man coverage, and give a little extra attention to Edelman/White.

So the Chiefs are going to win on Sunday? I'll take it.

No one mentioned the Seahawks. It's a hotel, which means people aren't local. They mostly mentioned how fun the Chiefs are to watch, and how the Patriots cheat.

Tons of people around here telling me how much they are behind us. Kids and adults usually root against KC to have fun with me. This week it was all "just beat them please".

This is where it absolutely gets bizarre. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning TWICE, Dan Marino, Brees TWICE. Any QB who has thrown for 43+ touchdowns are 0-6 in an attempt to win Superbowl. Mahomes would be the first.
