wilkie 1,518 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just a preseason game but what a geat game to watch. I try to temper my enthusiasm but I am still a Chiefs FAN first and foremost. Some things just do not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgar 1,046 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Man, it was good to see some of that... speccially smith to maclin.. and watching williams.. wasnt so bad.. guys getting sePeration, and making others look silly.. kelce was kelce. houston was houston... a major force of nature.. ford is quite disruptive as well... Poe added to that mix, and with a healthy berry and dj, and peters playing the way he has.. some DC coordinators are gonna have nightmares when everybody is back..

eraser 722 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Even LDT played better. He saved Alex Smith by picking up a pass rusher who got by Fanaika. https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CNjnRbbUsAAMvSa.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Still hard to see anything better than a 9-7 unless Peyton gets hurt.Denver is struggling to put up points against a desemated SF team. 5-0 at the 2 minute warning but they just got away with a blatant block in the back and should score here. Best they could muster was another FG. 8-0 with 1:39. I think KC beats Denver this year, probably at Arrowhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilkie 1,518 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 The road trips to the playoffs still goes thru Denver. Lost 19 of the last 20 to them. Until we can beat them we don't deserve to go to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Denvers defense scares me more than their offense I dont know how many times any team has defeated another 6 times in a row. Probably not often. Chiefs are due. Law of averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Is their D really that good or is it that Phillips loves to constantly blitz in the preseason against poor teams?Phillips has fielded a higher tier Defense more often than not. I wouldn't write off the Denver Broncos, even if Manning has a wet noodle for an arm. They are going to play better Defense. Along with that, they have a capable rusher in CJ Anderson and a good run blocking mind with Kubiak. Landing Mathis will give whoever is carrying the rock a solid body to follow. Peyton could be done physically, but his mental game is still high and he can change the offensive call into favorable matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest okiechief Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've got the feeling Manning is gonna be one of those guys that stayed a year to long chasing the ring. Not counting it as a win just yet, but if can't beat them on a short week at home, combined with their offensive problems, then we never will as long as Manning is under center.

The 2nd time we played Denver last year Andy and the coaches had 10 days to prepare and we still lost by almost 2 TDS in AH last year. I just believe the short week benefits the home team more is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't see how he can be as good this year, but I am from Missouri. Manning starts every game and doesn't win his division? Show me. We are not far removed from one good hit and he is paralyzed. I give him the benefit of the doubt. We need to be able to beat the Manining we are used to seeing. And I think we will.

West 6,713 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Let's look at what has changed since last year: On Defense 1. Derrick Johnson is back 2. Mike Devito is back 3. Marcus Peters is in the secondary 4. Eric Berry is healthy 5. Dee Ford now has a clue... On Offense: 1. Maclin 2. Grubbs The Chiefs CAN beat Denver... w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are focusing on starters, but on the back burner these guys are looking like future starters. I love to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I liked this past game, but also liked the Seahawks game. The Chiefs were playing the hawks just like they did last year, with the bonus of Maclin making plays. I wonder how that game would have turned out if it were the regular season.
