Calichief 3,016 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I believe that the biggest key to winning this game is run blocking and ultimately spencer ware. He had almost 3 weeks of rest. I think he will be a beast this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefensiveMan 758 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Ware, ran so well in that Denver game on SNF. I expect him to run hard. He's our attitude on offense a lot of that 11 game winning streak came from him last season. The Buffalo game for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 And when their legs are shaky throw some West at them. I hope we get a big lead throwing and then pound the ball. Force Roth to go down field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Getting pressure without blitzing and tackling are the big 2 to me. No 5 yard catches that turn into 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Pittsburgh is going to be ready for the short passing stuff. We are going to have to run for over 120 yards to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We slowed the raiders, were solid enough against the saints and falcons. We have played some high powered offenses. It's our time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefmanzada 466 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I hope they come out firing to Kelce and Maclin. Ware will run em down the second half. Need to jump on an early lead and follow through with screens to Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Smith get some of those 120 or does it have to 120 RBs plus Smith's scrambles? Obviously, having both would be best, but wondering what you thought.

DieHard 2,061 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think both teams move the ball. Who gets field goals and who gets touchdowns is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Turn overs will be the name of the game. Chiefs lose when they turn the ball over e.g Tampa and Tennessee. Pittsburgh is technically the 7th worst team in throwing ints, Ben has 15. Unfortunately their opponents have done nothing with them. The Chiefs tend to do well when winning the turnover battle.

NChiefsCorner 496 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Alex Smith will win this game with his legs opening up the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 In 5 playoff games Smith has 11 TD, 1 Int, 99.1 QBR rating and a 60.2 completion percentage which ranks 4th among active QBs. Unfortunately his 2-3 record make many believe he can't win or even take the Chiefs to the playoffs. Smith's losses were not because of him but his supporting cast. I believe this year, if healthy his supporting cast will help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Eric Fisher will be key to keeping Alex Smith upright, and his jersey clean. The Chiefs have to stop the Steelers from running the ball unimpeded. Justin Houston will be key to the defense. If he is healthy, he might be good enough against the rush that they can prevent the Chiefs' defense from getting ripped apart by the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If the weather is anything like everyone is assuming it will be this game will be played on the ground and KC has a better D. Another little tid bit. Last week Ben made sure to ask the fans in Pittsburgh to be quiet while they have the ball. Hmm, does he have problems with crowd noise?

I don't understand what happened, he looked like he was going to be a beast, judging by last season. His injuries may have affected him, or maybe the blocking just hasn't been as good. I get what you're saying though, if he's rested up enough, he could be a big factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
