The players understand that whoever executes the best, plays the hardest, makes the fewest mistakes, and sustains maximum effort through the 4th quarter will win. The quality of players is pretty much the same in a championship game. I trust that Reid and the player-leaders will have the right attitude and get everyone in the right mindset. Reid can match BB in strategy and neutralize that. Mahomes can see what's happening on the field. We are at home, and even in Foxboro we lost by only 3 points simply because they had the football last. We also made a huge number of mistakes early in the game. From what I have heard of players in interviews, they have only one goal...win the superbowl. All the talk about "happy to be here" is throwing a bone to the media. Simply, we cannot let them get out to a two score lead and then merely start trading scores. I think the biggest factor will be Jones' ability to compress the pocket. Brady needs a pocket where he can step up. If he has time and space to step up, he will find his guys. If he can do that enough to win, he will win. It's our big guys up front who will decide this thing, not curses and wrong attitudes. There’s a line in Hoosiers There's a, um tradition in tournament play- not talk about the next step until you've climbed the one in front of you. I'm sure going to the state finals is beyond your wildest dreams, so let's just keep it right there. I guess my point is that Neil Smith was basically alluding to this same thing that he thought some of the Chiefs defense in 1993 fell into this trap. It’s just a concern when playing a team that’s basically lived in this game for a decade. I agree with a lot of your thoughts. If we let Brady stay comfortable, he will pick us apart And that goes back to how their RBs torched us in the first meeting and their likely game plan again Without DOD, White particularly concerns me as a receiver used to neutralize our pass rush. Keeping our hands up and in those passing lanes worked wonders last week and can again Tips are as good as sacks to me. Finally Mahomes especially did make a lot of mistakes in the first half our last meeting. BB likely saw something and exploited it. But like he had all year Mahomes responded because he is a quick learner. Avoiding those early pitfalls no matter what is thrown at him is crucial. I also don’t see weather being a big factor in this one other than in kicking game " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonder 47 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Patriots SUCK on the road. They aren’t just not good. They suck. All of their losses were on the road to non-playoff teams. Marriotta, Bortles, Tannehill. They lost to these guys. I don’t care about their great history in the playoffs bc 90% of their history is IN NEW ENGLAND. What are you scared of? We have the freaking MVP. If anything, THEY should be terrified. We went into their house on primetime, spotted them a 15 point lead at half and STILL had them on the ropes. They literally won that game at the buzzer. Quit being afraid of the boogeyman. This isn’t the same old Chiefs. 35-21 Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I didn’t think about this but it was just pointed out that very fluke ending to the Dolphins-Patriots game is the reason we aren’t playing this game in Foxboro.

The disparity in points scored between the Chiefs and the Patriots (129) is roughly the difference between the Patriots and the Tennessee Titans (126), who are ranked 27th in the league."

Either way semi low scoring by KC standards 28 to 27 27 to 24 somewhere in there I'm like the kid in Polar Express. I WANT to believe. But, when I shake the bell I can't hear anything. Or maybe I hear it really low, just barely. If the Chiefs jump to a comfortable lead and the defense is playing well, the bell will be deafening. But, until then, I WANT to believe.

I'm not buying that narrative anymore the way we dismantled a Colts team that had lost only one game since mid October. The playoffs are largely about who has the better QB and when all that is equal it's anyones game. Our prior playoff record had everything to do with being clearly outclassed at QB in nearly every loss. Those days are over. Certainly doesn't mean we can't lose to the GOAT and an experienced Patriots team. But we aren't playing against history anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
