Will the Weather Cause our Fate?
With the awful weather forecast for Sunday, I can not help but think the weather will decisively put Pittsburgh in the drivers seat given their ability to run the ball and our inability to stop the run.
I also think we are an offense that cannot run the ball unless we have other things going in our offense since we have proven that we do not have an offensive line that can just line up on the ball and blow people off the ball. I (1) hope the weather forecast is way off and (2) hope I am wrong about the result if the weather forecast holds up, but I can not help but think this weather is the worse thing we could of hoped for. |
yeah,

Two of our best offensive performances have come in piss-ass weather.
We'll be fine. |

Meh. We will determine our own fate. No one blames the arctic weather for the Lin Eliott that must not be named.

Alex Smith is undefeated in home games against Ruthlessraper.

Pittsburgh is a better team in pretty much every conceivable way. Bad weather can only help us.
|
Both teams deal with it. Players will decide our fate.

Listen boys, the Chiefs earned the #2 seed by beating damn good teams. Chiefs had one of the hardest SOS's in the league and still cranked out a #2 seed. "better team in pretty much every conceivable way" ****a pls... |

Really. Like defense and special teams? They did score 10 more points than us this season I guess. |

Better coaching- No Better Special teams-No Better fans-**** No Better Stadium-No Better Defense- No |
I totally get that players decide games and both sides have to play in it blah, blah, blah. I am just saying that poor weather conditions (mainly freezing rain/rain) will make it harder to throw the ball around (which we will need to do to set up the run) and plays into the Steelers' strength, which happens to be our weakness.
Just would like are chances better with 35 degrees and dry IMO. |

CHIEFS are the team that relies on throwing the ball around? You don't think the Steeler's running game benefits from their passing game? |

I understand past playoff debacles but wow, we are a bunch of wussies.
Forget about Le'Veon Bell and their rushing game. Why don't WE run Spencer Ware down their throats at will? We're fine. We GOT this. |
Weather puts the emphasis on technique and execution. I choose us.

I do think that even in poor weather, Kelce and Hill will be productive enough for the run game to open up. But this just isn't a "run at will" kinda team this season. |
No

their site was saying WE'd be the beneficiary of inclimate weather - jesus - VahJJPlanet

While we will be at home how much of a difference does Arrowhead realistically make at this point? I think if we do win, it'll have to be in the weird way we won so many of our games this season, that being completely against the odds. Defense setting the offense up in short fields, or outright scoring themselves. Special teams scores. If it doesn't go that route, than we're going to have to hope that the offense in week 19 performs in a way it was unable to do in weeks 1 through 17. Frankly, this season to me was a fluke. We should not be 12-4. That said, I'm glad we are and I'm glad we have a home game. I hope it goes well. I just don't expect that it will. Sorry if my opinion ruffles your feathers. |

This definitely deserved its own thread as it has not been discussed yet.

The problem is that we are built to win with defense. Reid coaches to win with defense. Reid calls offensive plays to win with defense. If the steelers' offense is better than our defense then we are in trouble. If the steelers' offense is significantly better than our defense then we are ****ed. Steelers dual-threat offense seems built to defeat our defense. We will need key turnovers by our defense and our offense to successfully step out of it's comfort zone to win. Dee Ford and Houston better finally combine to bring us what we've been hoping for by sacking the crap out of Rapeburger. |

I'll also note that taxpayers/Hunts spent a fair amount of money a couple of years ago installing heated water pipes under the Arrowhead turf.
The field should be in acceptable shape and with the gloves the WRs wear these days, the cold shouldn't hurt their hands too terribly much. I don't really expect the weather to be a factor. |
four nights out, still. I don't see anything falling on Sunday except for the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Also, the offense showed flashes of brilliance in weeks 1 through 17 and started to put together more complete games toward the end of the season. It won't be some unexpected miracle if they have a great game on Sunday. |

My issue with bad weather is that a slow field = slow pass rush.

Sry, Kyle, I just had to do it. |
Come on, we are HOME, we know our house, they don't.
Think back at how lost we were in their house! :rolleyes: |

I'm fine with the bad weather. Bad weather will limit down field passing. Pitt has a better downfield passing attack, so it will affect their game plan more than KC's. KC will still use its short passing game.

But, as others have already stated, it's the run game of ours that I worry about. Really haven't done shit on the ground all year long. |

Rain is hardly an impediment. Both teams play in the same slop.

If we nail Ben in the ankle with an ice ball, of face, the weather will have helped.

Y'all are cute.

Maybe the bad weather will help defenders slide around when Alex Smith takes off with the ball
|
You know what? If the Chiefs are the better team they will win Sunday.. Shit.. What are you gonna say next week when they have to play the Patriots? :shake:
|
I can see Reid pulling rabbits out of his hat.

I think the worst thing we actually have to deal with is fans who watch a 16-game regular season in which the chiefs go 12 and 4 and not one of the 4 losses has a post game dialogue about how the biggest reason the game was lost was an "inability to stop the run." The Chiefs have played a few games in the rain this year and Alex Smith has proven to be a guy who can play QB in the rain. |
Forecast just said ice will be over and we'll just have rain by kickoff. That plus heated field means no concerns.
