gochiefsgo 380 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm through betting against the Chiefs with excuses like too many injuries, the Chiefs are on the road, there's no way they can stop the other teams strengths and Alex Smith and the offense have looked terrible lately. There's a kind of magic with this team and I know it sounds hokey and homerish to say that but I really think the Chiefs are going to go into Atlanta and expose the Falcons one dimensional "team" and kick them about the face and head.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 With the crazy amount of improbable comebacks they have had this year I don't know how you can count them out before the game is played. It's impossible to use logic and reason against this team and say with 100 percent certainty that they will lose for even the most logical reasons. They have only been beaten soundly one time this year and in the other losses they still had a chance up until the very end. I can't predict against them. I don't think anyone can at this point.

jetlord 10,209 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The Chiefs can beat ATL, but I don't think they will. Can Gaines shut down Julio Jones? The team has won three games that should have gone the other way. Can't depend on Peters snatching a ball away or Kubiak getting stupid every week. A win this weekend will be a bonus and probably give the Chiefs a better than average chance to win the division. A loss and they still have a good shot. Not saying the game isn't important. They all are. It's just that this weekend is the least important of their remaining games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMO 6,811 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 They beat themselves in Houston and against Tampa, and almost against Carolina. They could easily be 9-1. The Pitt game was over on the first play. They never recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 As for Gaines I think he benefits from Nelson returning, whenever that is. It's obvious he needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMO 6,811 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Gaines makes great plays on slants and crosses. He needs to be the nickel. Not on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Gaines makes great plays on slants and crosses. He needs to be the nickel. Not on the outside. I think he just needs safety help over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azchief21 5,278 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 This one is coming down to Smith against a bad defense vs Ryan against a really good defense (except CB opposite Peters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azchief21 5,278 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think he just needs safety help over the top. If you need safety help over the top vs Fowler while safeties have to also protect against Thomas and Sanders, you have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I will be under the dome in ATL. My wife got tickets for us, and her cousin, and his wife. So, I will have to be on my best behavior (which is generally not an issue). Atlanta has a really good team. Julio Jones is a super star receiver. Jones is 6'3", and ran a 4.39 40. More importantly, his shuttle times and three cone times were well above average. So, he will be a match up problem. Sunu is a big, tough receiver, who fights for passes over the middle. He is not fast or sudden, but uses his size to make intermediate catches. Justin Hardy is a sure handed receiver, who is not fast, but has good mobility. Taylor Gabriel went to school with Charcandrick West. Gabriel is small, only weighs 160 lbs. He is not as fast, or strong as Tyreek Hill, but he may be quicker. He resembles Dante Hall. Austin Hooper is their TE, and he is adequate, but nothing special. Their running back, Devonta Freeman, is a shifty, compact runner. He lacks top end speed, but has good hands, and is a decent blocker. Matt Ryan has cleaned up his interception problems that plagued him early in his career. He can be fooled into throwing an INT. He slings the ball freely. He is tall, and moves well within the pocket. This will be a fight to the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Robert Alford, cb for Atlanta, is fast enough to keep up with our receivers. Other than that, they are hurting on secondary help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilyous2 884 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Virtually every post here has been an analysis of offenses vs. defenses . For some reason, few ever try to match up the special teams in their predictions. And yet, the Chiefs have one of the very best ST units. I don't know what Atlanta's is like, but nearly every one of our victories has heavily involved special teams play. ST's are a third of the game, folks. I think we will have the field position advantage. What about psychology? The Chiefs have a team feeling like the Royals had in 2015. They have come from behind 4 times this year, including last week in a brutal smash-mouth game against their biggest rival on the road. They are not intimidated by being behind or on the road. 8 Chiefs are from Georgia, and some from Atlanta. They are going to be totally pumped to put on a show. I like the intangibles.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 The Chiefs, with the exception of that Pittsburgh game, have spent the season playing up or down to their competition. They have seemed to match the intensity of their opponents or the lack of it. I think it will be a good game today. Go Chiefs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired people shouldn't really do as they please. I have mostly been wasting my time in The Locker Room. BTW, with regard to your last sentence, you sound like my wife. Also, I went to the Bucs game and was pretty bummed about it. So, I avoided Chiefs talk for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
