Chiefs need to get back to small ball. This is what happened last game.

How about a sack? GEEZ

Mahomes signaled for a time out after the play. Its on him. Had he known there was not one he may have not thrown that pass. Het he is human sometimes too. Most often super human.

Did Kc not miss a field goal before the half last time? Very costly mistake.

Mahomes thought he had a time out. Ouch. Big mistake.

Glad they scored fast if going to score at all. KC has time to score.

Be nice if Defense would make a big play. Its been awhile.

KC had a big lead last time so lets hope they keep the pressure on.

That toe injury really hurt the team last year. I want me some McKinnon Stock.

Time to admit Hardman is an asset. Guy is having a very good play off run.

Nice held to 3

For the record. I think KC should always defer. LOL

Darrel Williams (toe) is active for the AFC Championship game against the Bengals. With Jerick McKinnon emerging as a play-maker and Clyde Edwards-Helaire well past his shoulder injury, Williams shouldn't get much run in this game. Inactive for the Chiefs are QB Shane Buechele, CB DeAndre Baker, RB Derrick Gore, DE Joshua Kaindoh, OT Prince Tega Wanogho, and DT Khalen Sau

Chiefs removed S Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) has been removed from the injury report and will play in the AFC Championship against the Bengals. Full practices on Thursday and Friday made this move all but certain. Mathieu will play with no limitations versus the Bengals. His presence will give the Chiefs' defense some extra juice against a surging Cincinnati offense. Mathieu has three interceptions and six pass defenses on the year.

I like that. Fenton in the slot. Yes.

LOL

I dont care. Yes they will defer. They always defer. Its simply my opinion which like yours is of zero value. Not sure why you feel so compelled to convince me other wise? Enjoy the game.

History vs opponent. Im sure KC changed many tactics and strategies based on the opponent.

Sure if everything goes perfect. Getting the ball last before half is not guaranteed. Im just saying for this game SCORE. Get a lead and stay in front. Even when they tie the game your still in command by scoring again. Thinking KC can put pressure with just the front 4, even against a lousy oline, has proven not be be reality. KC needs a lead to take some chances with blitzing and eventually knows the other team must pass to catch up. I have never bought into the BS stats that say KC defense is good at anything. Against top QBs and top offenses they get lit. I expect they will in this game as they did last time these two teams met.

Some notes Safety Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) made his return to the field on Thursday and was a full participant — though he remains in the concussion protocol, it’s a good sign that he is progressing toward playing in the AFC championship on Sunday. The same can be said for cornerback Rashad Fenton (back), who has missed the last two games but has now been a full practice participant for two days in a row. As Mathieu and Fenton trended toward playing, it seems that the Chiefs felt the need to ease up on running back Darrel Williams (toe), who was limited Thursday after being a full participant on Wednesday. Williams’ practice status on Friday should be a good determinant in whether he plays on Sunday

Ingram took him self out before the last play that Bills completed for a TD. Could not go one more play with the season on the line? One play?

Look its a play off game. Nobody is afraid. This is not your average team or average QB. KC did not win every game when they deferred. My point is a simple strategy. Get the lead first. So its confidence KC will score 7 vs fear. Burrow will also likely score on that first drive. Not fear its more of reality check. So I prefer, not fear, playing with the lead. Thats a STRATEGY. KC changes there strategies all game long. Its called adjustments. SO I GUESS YOU ARE AFRAID.

Its strategy not a fear statement. Its not playing scared. If you double Chase this time is it fear or strategy?

Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) returned to practice Thursday. The Chiefs have yet to release Mathieu's official Thursday status, but it will likely be "limited" following Wednesday's DNP. Coach Andy Reid has expressed optimism Mathieu will be ready after going down on the opening drive of Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Bills. The Bengals are yet another lethal passing attack, one where Mathieu's presence would make an enormous difference for a defense that has been getting shredded through the air of late.
