Holmes4six! 969 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Okay. So I have to admit. I am damn nervous about our defense in this game. Fenton looks to be on track and if I had to hedge my bet I think HB plays as well. with that said, what kind of strategy do u think we employ? 2 high with saftey shadowing chase? I know in last meeting there were questionable ref calls that extended there drives and lucky one on one catches but there was also wide open catches. I guess I’m looking for some knowledge on this so I can’t stop shitting my pants. thank u coalition. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get a lead so they can send the troops. KC secondary needs a pass rush for any reasonable success. Dont defer! Get the ball and get the lead.

azchief21 5,278 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Would be nice if we could get pressure with just the front 4 (We pay them enough!) to allow the extra coverage behind. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but unfortunately pay grade assures nothing. KC scored 28 in the first half last time. Hard to figure what happened in the second half. My view is the offense lost that game.

Thats playing into Cinn game plan. They want to run it some to keep the pressure off Burrow. If behind they are going to be more predictable on offense and Spags can do his blitzing thing.

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 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. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the 2 time defending AFC Champs hosting our 4th consecutive AFCCG. We are playing against a 2nd year quarterback playing for a #4 seeded team that prior to this year hadn't won a playoff game since 1990. We defer. We play like we play. We should absolutely not change what we do and play scared against this team. Sure you adjust to Chase and you game plan, but I sure hope the message to the team is not that we are scared to kick off to Joe fucking Burrow to start the game.

reesebobby 5,663 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So after 3 years of deferring and having unprecedented success we are afraid to give them the ball first and that's strategy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 969 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks everyone. I haven’t gone back to watch the previous matchup with bengals but will do as I want to see what our front 4 did. We did get four sacks. I don’t think we should change our approach offensively or special teams wise to this game but we sure need to fuckin change the defense strategy and what spags trotted out last time.

There are actual meaningful reasons to defer. Adrenaline helps defenders and hurts offenses. Crowd noise is louder to start the game. Wind dies down later so picking a goal gets less important. If we play well joe burrow is in too deep. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I like about deferring, is you have an option to score on the last possession of the first half, and again on the 1st possession of the second half. That's a potential 14 pt swing.

That's a potential 14 pt swing. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
