Homefield Advantage: Donkeys
Stat-wise, the Chiefs win. But the Donks have had two weeks to get healthy, watch tape, and game plan. Their defensive scheme will surely follow what Oakland did: stack 8 in the box to contain our running game and challenge Cassel to beat two CBs and 1 safety.
The unknown status of McCluster looms huge for this game. His return skills not only threaten a score every time, but also contribute immensely to great field position. The Chiefs haven’t run any reverses during his absence. McCluster lining up in the slot forces the defense to pull defenders out of the box, and takes pressure off Bowe and Moeaki.
And make no mistake… if the F7 fails to put consistent pressure on Orton (not just a few sacks, but getting in his grill every snap), he’s going to light up our secondary.
I loathe the stinkin’, cheatin’, XFL-uniform-wearing Donks. The Chiefs need to take the putrid stench of the melt-down in Oaktown, turn it into focused anger, and win this game in Pile High.
