FANATIC 852 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Chiefs may hold out Ford and Watkins due to the wet conditions. I think the wet field favors the chiefs offense. Chiefs win a tight game with a late Jags turnover. 33-27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Last year I would have called this game a loss. I would not bet against Mahomes though. Chiefs win a squeaker. KC by 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Interesting some of the newer weather forecasts I’ve seen have Arrowhead with only some light showers from 11-3. Heavy rain before 11 but they cover field can’t they? And to heck with weathermen and their forecast. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calichief 3,017 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think we lose this one, but it’s a learning lesson leading to us beating them in the playoffs. This loss carries us to better things later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 In a wet game, Mahomes' bullets will be hard to catch. Some will slip out and end up with the Jaguars. Also, the vast majority of teams who win on Monday night lose on the short week the following Sunday. That extra day of planning and healing is huge, and we are on the wrong side of it against a great team. Time for the Chiefs first loss, I'm afraid. The less wet, the better. If there is a break in the rain, some Mahomes magic could happen. Maybe Butker will win it with field goals. But I predict a loss this time at home after an emotional and exhausting win on the road, a short week, and wet conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpo The Mad Clown 5,559 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think it will be a close loss. If it's raining that would make the offense one dimensional and, while Hunt is the Man, the o-line hasn't shown much run blocking this year. If the forecast is wrong and the field is dry and no rain, Chiefs win. Note that I deftly covered both bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I see a loss here also. And, that might be a good thing. Get it out of the way. They probably lose next week, too. But, after that, they might win out.

Okiechief1 425 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Bortles struggles on the road. He wasn't good last year throwing more picks than tds and completing about 55 pct of his passes. In their only road game of the year this year he didn't show to be much better, completing right around 55 pct of his pass attempts throwing 1 pick and 1 td and putting up only 15 pts against a middle of the road Giants D. I think the Jags struggle to get to 21 in this game while i think we will get to at least 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It’s at home. 12th man will help the defense. Mahomes throws a pick or two. Just enjoying the ride win or lose this one. We finally have a qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'll go 24-21 Chiefs. I mean we have to lose eventually but I have a hard time not believing in this kid, and if we can slow down the run today without Fournette, we can beat them.

Agreed but Yeldon is no slouch and Grant is a fast change of pace back. They will impose the run because they are a smash mouth team. This is Steelers part two and the Jaguars are acting more like the Steelers team that the Chiefs could not beat until recently than the Steelers are at this point. A very tough game and definitely the AFC matchup of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They know they have to keep Mahomes in the pocket and rush with their interior defensive line and they are great at creating mayhem inside. Hope Reid has prepared a good chess match strategy and Marrone is playing checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dksww 484 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Looks like a steady rain is gonna be coming down for the whole game. Gonna have to D up and win a low scoring game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkie 1,518 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They did not cover the field. Its supposed to rain hard most of the day. I see a loss here due to the wet conditions. Conventional wisdom says a rainy day favors receivers who can run their routes crisply when DBs can't make the quick cuts without slipping. But it also favors the stronger defensive front 7s. In that case it would be Jacksonville. I think that is how it will end up. Probably a 13 to 7 football game or something close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cleats neutralize it, and we are on turf. Rain hurts the passing game more because of the problem with catching with the hands. Plus, many of Mahome's passes are bullets. The rain will take away a lot of his game. Third man will be less effective, as everyone will be trying to scream through rain jackets. This game is likely to be a mish mash of turnovers, running, field goals, and just plain breaks. The Chiefs are on a short week. The Jags are a Super Bowl contender as much or more than we are. I rate this an absolute toss-up, and the outcome will depend on completely unpredictable circumstances and happenings. No stats or personnel matchups are going to be predictive. Normally, one could tilt to the team with the best lines, but in this case, both teams have strong lines up front. I wouldn't put one dime on this game either way.

New Era. Unlimited QB. Lets see the Jags run sideline to sideline in a slow field. Fatigue sets in. Hill open for long TDS. Watkins open on broken plays. Hunt running well as their defense slogs in the mud. I think it will come down to turnovers. Will be interesting to see how Mr. H handles the ball in wet weather.
