But Thornhills loss is very concerning especially if Fuller can play for the Texans. Those safeties are the glue of this defense and a big reason Spags can disguise coverages so well.

Adamixoye 604 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm sort of worried about Fuller, but I looked at his game logs and the raw stats against us were pretty pedestrian. If he wasn't ready to go yesterday it's unlikely he'll be 100% next week. Even with the loss of Thornhill last time we didn't have Jones or a balling Frank Clark or Pennel or...

dhitter 1,424 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I don't think Bill O'Brien is a great coach. Give Andy an extra week to prepare and he is pretty scary and the Chiefs are better than the Texans. That having been said injuries, penalties and turnovers are all factors. If the Chiefs don't turn the ball over and we don't suffer any key injuries we should be able to win comfortably. FANATIC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs will need to put the foot on there neck for 4 qtrers. Reid it’s time now to unveil the playbook and don’t hold back!

They rallied from 17 down at Arrowhead and 16 down yesterday. Some teams you can just milk leads against, Andy has to know this isn’t one of those. Chiefs open as a staggering 9 1/2 point favorite.

FANATIC 852 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just re-watched the Houston game on game-pass. KC got the ball just 2 times in the second half. Mahomes fumble with 39 seconds in the first half was a huge play. Other than that Houston dominated TOP and the ground game against the KC defense. Hyde with a huge game. We will know for sure if KC D is legit this week. Can KC STOP the RUN? Mloe68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great QB play can mitigate that. Spags needs a great game plan vs Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the run and get pressure on Watson before he does the short release beating the linebackers. Watson did not beat KC out of the pocket as much as the running game and short passes. I think Williams is set to have a good playoff run like last year. He looks fresh and explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 TDs. He’s basically what we have in LeShon McCoy with more carries. If he gobbled is up again we are in trouble. Duke Johnson scares me more with Thornhill out. Who’s gonna cover him?

HYDE rushed for over 1,000 on the year and dominated KC in the last game. So there is that. Hardy mediocre/average. Yes Johnson is a force as well. KC did fine with the HYDE trade. That does not make HYDE less of a player. Note: McCoy is not mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He averaged 65 yards per game rushing and barely broke 1000 yards. He was 13th in the league in rushing yards, 26th in yards per attempt, which are both mediocre. Both Hyde and McCoy are very mediocre RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs run defense has improved, but still allowed 100 yard rushers. It got better after the Titans game, allowing an average of 95 yard a game. The previous ten games they allowed 148 yards per game. In the last game, we controlled Hyde some but he got 116 yards. it was Watson's additional 42 yards with 2 rushing tD's that really hurt. I agree with your gameplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think Hyde is a guy you have to account for more than simply keeping gap responsibility and making the tackle. Something we were struggling with in October. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 chiefs d just needs stops on 3 rd down and huge plays on first down to get them out of running. spags has been blitzing on first down to create 2 and longs. so hopefully it works out. im worried about the 4 th quarter. how we start and finish. chiefs need to be mentally tough and no mistakes.

It’s a groin deal which isn’t going away overnight. He’s gonna have some limitations if he plays. Hopkins is elite so being able to get Ward some help with him seems like a good plan even as Charvarius has held up in solo coverage a lot.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Andy Reid gets a lot of what I believe is bad criticism for “turtleing up” with leads. But most of the time he’s absolutely doing the right thing and his winning percentage reflects that. In this case however he’s got to go in knowing the Texans are explosive and have proven they can rally. Whatever the game plan is, he needs to stick with it if it’s working and not go conservative. Same for Spags who’s proven throughout the year he’s not a big fan of the prevent D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It occurs to me that this year we played 4/5 of the other AFC playoff teams. In every game we had a double-digit lead but the other team came back, and we split the games 2-2, all decided by <= 7 points. No point, just an observation.

VIChiefsFan 262 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Brees should retire too. Its a young man's game. Hill did more on half a dozen plays then Brees did all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
