WC Game: Tell me the Chiefs lose?

[Ace Gunner]

We know they are likely either playing Colts or Balt and for folks that predict the Chiefs are going 1/done, we don't see the reasoning follow a particular opponent, so it doesn't seem to matter who they play to these folks.

Is it the QB? The Defense? Drops? Not enough points? Cursed?

How do the Chiefs lose?

[Mr. Laz]

Defense gives up early points because they struggle against fast receivers.

we fall behind big

Offense has to be uber aggressive to catch up and implodes

[Sofa King]

injuries

[Chief Roundup]

We will not lose the first one this year.

Any qb could do what Alex Smith is doing with this Chiefs team.

Chase Daniel would step in and be this teams Jeff Hoestetler.

For the young kids.

he is the guy that took over for Phil Simms in 1990, and led the Giants to the super bowl over the Bills in the first of the bills 4 consecutive super bowl losses.

You are welcome.

Oh, and this post was extreme sarcasm.

[Chief Roundup]

If we lose it will be because we didn't put them away. Leaving them an opportunity to make a play late in the game.

[Discuss Thrower]

Offense is shut down by putting 8 in the box and cheating a second db on Bowe. Take away Charles and Bowe KC can't do anything.

Defensively a team can pick on Cooper, Smith, or Flowers in one on one coverage because chances are It will work out in your favor if you can stop the pass rush.

Also, had I the money to do so, I'd wager Succop misses a handful of FGs. His leg isn't that good and at some point the team will be pressured into atempting a kick he doesn't have the capability of making because they are the Chiefs.

He's 21/25 this year. And one or two of those misses were on blocked kicks.

Why do people always think Succop is a liability? The dude is a pretty good kicker in this league. Just because he's never kicked a 60-yarder doesn't mean he'll let the team down with a missed kick.

I mean, ****, has he EVER had a game-losing miss in his career? I know large portions of it were taken up by losing streaks that never put us in a position to lose on one of his misses, but still. Let's not project bad juju onto our kicker when it's not ****ing deserved in the least.

What's the last real pressure kick he's made? Against Buffalo in OT in 2010?

I'm not saying he's a godawful kicker, but there's something about him that does not inspire confidence in his ability to hit any game winning or tying field goal from around 40 yards out.

The thing that will do us in if he continues to kick out of bounds in the playoffs. Sound familiar?

Penalties could also be our demise.

He's done it ****ing once. He's not Jon ****ing Baker.

I don't get why people are so eager to build up this nervous energy around the guy when we've never had a reason to do so. He's better than at least half the kickers in the league, and probably could be considered top 10 in terms of field goal percentage.

I'll take it. He's an adequate kicker. I'm not going to lie awake at night dreading the possibility that Succop might have to make a pressure kick in the playoffs.

I don't understand how that's even a possibility with his -or any other players'- kicks. Is angling it to the corners within the 20 so important that the coverage team can't make a stop otherwise?

The dude has never let us down. He had a kickoff out of bounds last week. Big deal. Colquitt had a couple of rotten shanked punts early in the season.

Yes he had a couple of bad one but he is pretty good
