I'd die before burning that ticket I'm with you, brother. I wasn't at that game, but I was in the stands in 94 for the AFC Champ game against the Bills. It wasnt as cold, but intermittent freezing rain throughout the game while sitting on shitty metal bleachers at old Rich Stadium. I was miserable, but wouldn't have missed it for anything!

There will be some snow during game but they don’t see any major impact. Maybe another inch in that four hour window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably matters a little as I assume they build their team with the fast field turf track in mind. But as far as cold or snow goes, every roster is filled with guys who’ve had to weather elements on another team or in college. I did see the Colts practiced outside yesterday in the snow in Indy.

Typically, teams that play home games in a dome do not fare well on the road in the playoffs. I hope that's a trend that favors the Chiefs. The Chiefs are due for so many breaks in the playoffs it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just saw 6-8 around the stadium on two different sites. But both still suggested most of the accumulating snow will be over by 1 or so. They did say it will snow during the game at points though. The last thing an explosive offense wants is heavy snow bogging everything down, so hopefully the time line is right. Its a heated field and is covered right now so that should really help.

They should be very productive. The defense won't be able to catch up with the receivers. Remember Smith putting up 40+ in Washington some years back? Bowe had a hell of a day so did Alex.

Reading posts on Arrowhead Pride suggested taking "what they give" all day and forcing the Colts to start playing up closer, and then burning them deep later. Could be a screens to RB's kind of game. Hit the slant passes to Hill and Kelce and get the YAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked all day vs the Texas because they apparently forgot they had RBs to slow it down. I agree screen game we used alot with Alex will make a return which should open up passes downfield into that zone. Or vise versa as they try to cover that up. Cover 2 is supposed to guard against big plays, so Mahomes needs to be patient and not force deep passes. Thats the one area Luck has an advantage in that his experience will likely keep him in the nickel and dime us mode with only occasional shots to keep us honest.

Yes their defense is designed to stop the big play. Does not mean that will work. I see KC doing what they want on offense. Protect the ball. no turnovers and no field goals. Go all 4 downs when past midfield. Worse case result the Colts may start at midfield. So what. The defense will just get scored on sooner putting the ball back into Mahomes hands sooner & more often. Reid: Accept that your defense is more likely to fail than get the miracle play. Assume the worse and plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My guess is that it help the Colts, because of their running game and huge line. In these conditions, fasts cuts on the turf, like WR's have to do become a risk for slipping. Smashmouth running by a huge line has an advantage. Balls will be deflected in the air or punched out of the arms of the playmakers. There will be more tunorvers. This will be old style NFL down-in-the-dirt football which is a great equalizer. The absence of Berry will be big, but it will make HItchen's and Ragland's style of defense more effective. I think it will come down to turnovers and who has the ball last. The difficult travel conditions are likely to reduce the attendance and reduce home field advantage. The philosophy of the Chiefs should not be to out-think the other coach but get guys hyped up for just smash mouth reactive football that lets their overall talent advantage decide the outcome. Home field advantage throughout the playoffs isn't worth much in January weather in KC, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It's snowed all day out here in Colorado. It looks like it's part of the storm heading towards KC.

It is snowing right now, it is suppose to snow all night long and end sometime just before game time tomorrow, left Shawnee around 3:00pm with no snow on the ground and got home around 3:30pm near Gladstone with 2-4 inches of snow on the ground.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just upgraded to Winter Storm Warning for 6-10 inches of snow. Gonna be a mess to get to the game for fans and the players for that matter. But Im still hearing it will only be lighter snow showers during the game. Needless to say the grounds crew at Arrowhead and outside Arrowhead is in for one long night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
