KC CHIEFS vs. NE PATRIOTS: Who wins? Your predictions?

[JimNasium]

Chiefs by 10 and the game will never be in question.

[Reerun_KC]

Considering we won’t be discussed much this week. It’s brady blow show.

[RunKC]

We are playing with absolute confidence, we’re stringing together consecutive complete games, we have the MVP and Arrowhead will be as loud as it has ever been.

34-21 is about what I'm thinking too.

[God of Thunder]

28-27 KC

I honestly think we blow them out. Dead serious.

New England blew their wad against the Chargers. They are nowhere NEAR as good on the road.

Arrowhead will be an absolute madhouse on Sunday. Our guys will come out with their hair on fire. We are about to shove 40 years of frustration right down Brady's throat on an electric night. Mahomes will solidify himself as the new class of the NFL.

Chiefs 41
Pats 21

I agree for all of these reason and I've been saying it to anyone who will listen to me since Sunday night.

I think its a little lower scoring game than this though.

Chiefs 28
Pats 13

This! I've never been as confident as I am about the Chiefs in the playoffs. I figured Indy would be a blowout. I was right.

Not a single player on the field for the Chiefs will be 40 years of age, so how do they have 40 years of frustration to let out?

How many ever saw Kansas City before, say, 3 years ago? Like 10 or so I'd bet.

It's odd how fans of teams (not just Chiefs -- all teams, most fans) somehow think their players feel the same way about their team that they do. 99% of the time, that isn't the case at all.

The amount of bitching I hear from Pats fans about players who leave for the money when they have it SO GOOD with the Pats/Brady/Belichick is comical. They're playing for a ****ing paycheck -- and would YOU seriously turn down an extra $X million? Why? You're from ****ing Alabama or Florida or Texas or California and you don't give a crap about Boston. JFC people.

Same for you, here. Just sayin'

That's all well and good if the players aren't keenly aware of it. Listening to interviews over the last few days, the Chiefs players, TO A MAN, have all mentioned the history of the team and the frustration of it. They may not have experienced personally but they're now invested in it. Sorry.

One thing I LOVE about Reid is his ability to get his players to buy-in. That's a crucial talent and we're lucky to have it. Despite his shortcomings, one thing Marty was good at was getting his players to understand and sympathize what it meant to look at these games from a historical and fans point of view. He was all about the team pride and being able to sell it to the players. I bring this up because I wonder if Reid hasn't started to work this angle as well?

I look forward to the day when Mahomes has matured to the point that he and the offensive coordinator can effectively run the show and let Andy focus a bit more on his HC duties on game day.

Did you hear Clark Hunt's interview on 810 yesterday?

Say what you want about the guy - maybe it was lip service but what he said gave me goosebumps.

I think it's different in this context: And by no means am I saying this is the only correct answer.

You walk into the Chiefs franchise and see the incredible success they had as AFL team. You meet Lenny, you meet Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, Fred Arbanas, Curly Culp, Emmitt Thomas. That a wing of HOF'ers. Those guys gave legitimacy to the entire AFL. And from the AFL days, the Pats weren't much of a winning franchise.

The Pats grew their winning history from 85 to the present. The Chiefs? They sowed nothing but disappointment after 1971. Regular season? Sure, great records. And playoff futility.

The players know how much the last game meant for the fans and the city. That doesn't mean it was their sole motivator. But these players acknowledge the players from the glory years, and the fans who have waited for (in the words of William Wallace) "One chance, JUST one chance" to bring this franchise to glory again.

[Craqhead]

33 - 31 Chiefs.

[Chris Meck]

Chiefs, 38-10.

The defensive turnaround is for real. There's a sack-n-strip scoop-n-score in there.
