Broncos confirm Chiefs had formula to reach Super Bowl

One week after being eliminated from the postseason, Kansas City Chiefs fans are learning more about where their team must improve to get to the Super Bowl next season.

In an outcome not many expected, the Denver Broncos (cringing writing this) downed the New England Patriots 20-18 which has allowed them to advance to their eighth Super Bowl.

Just a week before the Patriots loss many were gushing over how great this offense was in New England. Not many gave the Broncos much of a chance after watching them have so much success against Kansas City. We rationed with reasoning based on stats like the Broncos being ranked in the 20s in scoring and the Patriots being third. We thought about Manning’s playoff history and his age becoming factor.

What we didn’t consider was how truly great the Broncos defense is. Denver was able to smother New England with its coverage and pass rush unlike what the Chiefs had hoped to do in their previous matchup with the Patriots.

The Broncos actually ran a simulation in real time of what Kansas City’s game plan would look like if it was executed. Peyton Manning wasn’t spectacular but emulated an Alex Smith like approach to running the offense and taking care of the ball. That along with playing outstanding defense sacking Tom Brady four times and forcing two interceptions was enough to get to the Super Bowl. This leaves Chiefs fans feeling like they had the winning recipe but were derailed by injuries.

i have to believe that with a healthy pass rush, the entire gameplan would change.

we needed more than 2 capable corners. we needed a slot CB in the worst way.

We did capitalize on the chance we had (broke the streak) but when you start 1-5 and you have to win 11 in a row just to get to a wildcard spot I wouldnt call that a GREAT chance.

I guess I am nit picking semantics, but to me if you do something in spite of the odds....that doesnt mean you had a 'great chance' of doing that thing.

Following the general concept of ball control on offense and sack tom brady doesn't mean a dam thing without all the scheme information.

The Broncos wanted to copy the Chiefs' game plan, but Aqib Talib was incapable of learning it.

Even with Sutton's failure to adjust against slants and wheel routes, had Maclin and Ware been healthy, the Chiefs win that game.

Kind of makes his comment wrong.

A healthy Maclin and Ware would have been able to move the chains much more easily and quickly.

Had Ware been healthy, we'd have never seen Knile Davis on the field, either, hence no fumble in Patriots territory.

With Maclin healthy, either he or Kelce gets more looks, which would also open up the running lanes.

Say what you will about Sutton's defense but injuries to the offense's best players (outside of Kelce) are really what led to the loss.

Basically, mix it up and be as unpredictable as possible while using the strengths on offense.

On defense...set the pass rush loose and make everyone alert to get their hands up after 1 second after the snap because Brady is gonna want to get the ball out quickly.
The DL needs to be dominant..we have the talent to take over this game in the trenches.
Have the corners press all game. No cushion. Brady is gonna want to get the ball out quick...don't let the WRs off the line.
Let Petersknow it's ok to bait Brady on the short routes. Jump that shit, kid. Make plays.
Smack Gronk in his mouth all day off the line and bracket him with DJ/Berry. Houston should try to keep Gronk on the line.
Don't let the crowd have an impact...gotta smack these WRs and TEs up and disrupt timing.

Brady has a high ankle sprain (limited mobility) and their OL is very weak. They are gonna want to get in a rhythm and get the ball out quick.

If we disrupt their timing, we will cause turnovers and have a great shot to win...if we don't, they will get up early and set their pass rushers free. Can't let that happen.

I'm not Wade Phillips. I swear.

Houston and Hali not being able to play at 100% effected the outcome of the game. The Broncos proved that if you can get to Brady, it changes the game.
