hey, think whatever you want, but you yourself said we haven't beaten an obvious playoff team.

The Bolts are 6-6. Unless I were a homer of homerific proportions, there is now way I would consider the Bolts an "obvious playoff team".

I had done the stats, and the probability of the Bolts catching the Chiefs or Raiders are 25-30%, so you guys certainly control your own destiny and have the leg up.

However, you lose this game, things will get extremely dicey, as they did for Denver in 2008. That next game of yours at the Rams will be at best a pickem and you will probably be underdogs again.

The Bolts have about as easy a schedule as a playoff team can have the last 3.

There is one AFC West Love Scenario that would bring both teams together in complete and loving harmony:

Ravens lose to Houston, and lose to either Saints or at Cleveland (or Bungles), and the Bolts win out and take the #6 seed, KC wins out last 3 and takes #3 seed. Instant rematch first round.

You are an idiot. This game is being viewed by Chiefs fans as the most important game in years. If anything, we may be taking this game a little too seriously as if it were an elimination game or something.

I've read your forum for the past 6 games or so, and most view this as a nice statement game, but not as big of a 'must win' game.

I would harbour that it is Must Win certainly for the bolts, but also for the Chiefs in a slightly lesser, but still robust, way. Having your backup QB in should make people much more tight in an already tough matchup for you guys.

I dont see that here. I see lots of threads devoted to how good Croyle and his 0-9 record (and arm) are, and how so many fans have that "non dread game feeling" and so on forth.

you must not have read this thread, because my first reply doesn't correlate with not taking this game seriously.

In that case, your reading comprehension skills suck. We have not had a "must win" game in years, and you are misreading hopeful optimism as overconfidence.

Not to mention humor and sarcasm to cover our uneasiness over the QB situation.

The guy just hasn't been around long enough to grasp this place.

I think this is a game that Weis has use the playaction pass on first down over and over again.

We have to establish the idea in the minds of the Chargers that we will not rely solely on the ground game, and a single early play will not establish that.
