They're a good team but they're going to be severely tested at Arrowhead. And the Chiefs have Terrance Mitchell across from Peters this time, not Phil Gaines.

Ford hit his stride, as has Jones, Berry and Sorenson. Houston might help out a bit, too.

Seems like they put Ford in a reduced role when Houston was back. I hope they can find a way to get them both on the field together more often.

Severely tested?

In what way?

I didn't realize they were shit simply because they beat a Miami team that isn't talented enough to overcome a backup QB and freezing temps.

We're not the same team from the September matchup, but neither are they. Their defense has improved dramatically.

This game comes down to two things:

The best RB on the planet vs. the 26th ranked run defense.

Alex Smith being aggressive at all times and putting pressure on the Steelers secondary.

Atlanta has no defense. PIT's is pretty good and maybe better since the last time we played them. I think they will be a tougher matchup for us for sure.

Tim Tebow beat the Steelers in the playoffs

Chiefs better embarrass these ****ers

Big Ben is in a walking boot. So we need to get after him

It's going to be tough, I'm glad that I'm going to this game to see an epic divisional game and hopefully payback. I won't be surprised if we don't win, but I want us to beat Todd Haley's ass so bad for what they did to us earlier in the year, and I want us to get another shot at the Patriots.

its total BS. There is video of him after the game walking up stairs and without a limp whatsoever.

He could be on the heart transplant list and we should do the same... But like any team/QB that would would test a rookie who just entered the game, we at least know what to test.

God I hope the Chiefs use all of this pro-Steelers talk to their advantage and just feed off of it.

One would argue that there should be enough motivation for the Chiefs by simply being in this game, but goddamn I know I'm going to be sick of every media pundit essentially penciling in the Steelers into the AFC Championship Game, so I hope the Chiefs at least feed off of it to amp themselves up even more.

This is going to be a rough week.

There is a lot of respect for KC from Steeler fans:

Do other boards at like a bunch of dicks to each other or is that just CP? Looks civil.

Other boards kick other fans off in a heartbeat, so CP is the fo-shizzle of boards. We may be tough, but we're not pussies like other boards.

If the Chiefs win 2-3 Superbowls in a decade, I assume we will lose our edge.


It's easy to be civil when you are packing a trophy case full of hardware.

Everyone seems to put a lot of weight in one early season game, therefore many games worth of mediocre QB play on the road should hold a lot of weight.

Amped crowd, Reid off a bye, amped, bloodthirsty team looking for revenge.

31-17 KC.

No doubt Pittsburgh needs to be respected. But a few advantages the Chiefs have that can get them over the top here:

-Home field/noise
-Big advantage in special teams. Toussaint is a jag returner, Brown won't get much from Colquitt. Hopefully long fields all night for Pitt. No need to discuss Hill's impact, but we must force punts.
-Coaching. Reid and staff will scheme well and I trust they used the bye time off effectively.
-Relative health. Ware, Houston, March and Hali will arguably be in better condition than they have all season.
-Secondary evolution. This team is better equipped to defend the Steelers now than back in week four. Miami's secondary had major breakdowns today - the Chiefs are more athletic and tackle better.
-And the biggest reason in my opinion: we will take care of the ball. No gifts from us, sorry Steelers. When Miami had opportunities to climb back, they coughed up the ball. We all know Ben will put some up for grabs.....

Should be an exciting game, and one these Chiefs can no doubt win.
