Chiefs My 10 Keys to Beating Denver - Page 3

**BossChief** · 11-13-2013, 08:54 PM

1) Dontari Poe pushing that pocket. If he is able to make Manning move left to right consistently, that's gonna give Hali and Houston opportunities to strip that ball and hit the 5head.

2) No drops. We are gonna need every yard. Every first down. Alex needs to be able to get in a rhythm and keep the offense moving and putting points on the board. Dropped passes kill drives and we can't afford to have that happen against a team like Denver. We need to play a near perfect game to win.

3) Hitting Manning. Over and over. He needs to get hit almost every drop back. Force them to get the ball out before they want to and let our guys make plays on the ball. Hitting that egghead early and often without sending blitzers is imperative in winning this one. It's gonna
be cold and he isn't gonna want to move too much to get the ball out. If we can consistently hit him and make his injury really bother him, we can take over the game in the third and fourth quarter. We just need to keep it close until then. IMO of course.

4) Keep Dunta Robinson off the field. Nuff said.

5) Replace Jeff Allen with Schwartz. Allen just gets beat way too much to keep that starting spot.

6) Move Hussein Abdullah into the starting free safety spot. Manning will be targeting Lewi over and over if he is out there. Same goes for Dunta Robinson. From what I've seen since day one, Hussein is the second best safety on this team in almost every measurable way. Faster, more physical, better instincts, better ball skills. Just a better player.

7) Take the ball away without giving up the big play. All 3 of our corners, DJ and Berry all have good ball skills and we need to take advantage of the fact that Manning will be looking to get the ball out early by jumping some of the short routes. It's gonna be COLD and there will be opportunities for big plays in the secondary...we need to take advantage of those chances. 1 dropped pick could be the difference in the games momentum.

8) Eric Fisher will need to show why we picked him first overall and he has his work cut out for him. Von Miller is about as good a player as he will face all year and he needs to have a solid game against him. If Miller is able to run wild and we need to keep a tight end in to block, that's gonna hurt Alex Smiths chances of moving the chains through the air. Which leads me to...

9) Alex Smith needs to bleed that defense for every inch Sunday night. He needs to be pinpoint accurate all night and take advantage of the defense compensating to stop Charles. We need 300 yards from Alex and no turnovers to have a chance. 260 passing 2tds and 50 rushing would be perfect. A rushing td would be an added bonus that is probably needed to beat a team like Denver.

10) Shutting down their running game without giving up too much bad info for play action passing because Peyton will be watching. Their running game is better than in years past and we need to atop it at the point of attack and not force ourselves to committ too much safety help to doing so. If we can do that we should be in good shape on third downs.

If we take care of those things, I think we have a good chance at beating Denver in their place and being a possible superbowl favorite come Monday morning.

Also, we have a battle that us probably unbeatable against the refs.

They are gonna be trying their best to turn every blind eye possible holding call out there in an attempt to keep the 5head upright.

This is the most sure thing to happen , what says Vegas ? I can see it now off sides & non holding calls on the mules . Oh well no worse then horse face running past the LOS then throwing. wth was that .

Why didnt the refs throw a flag last week when Manning was hit below the knees by SD and re-aggravated his ankle? Already sounding like the foundation for the "refs screwed us" excuse being laid IMO....

Because it's a plot. A bloody coup staged by Clark Hunt. Yeah, he looks like "Mr. Nice Guy/Senator" and all. But don't let that fool you. He's in league with Lucifer!

If the refs do their jobs on Sunday night, Hali will get at least one holding penalty called his way.

If he doesn't, it's reasonable to believe that the refs were choosing to ignore it all night.

IMO the refs can call holding on every play if they wanted to... I am sure the Denver coaches are telling the oline to do whatever they need to in order to protect Manning. Why not force the officials to make a call?...

Psyko Tek · 11-13-2013, 10:57 PM

**** THIS
one play game over
DO NOT RECEIVE THE KICK OFF

BLITZ EVERYONE
either the 5 head gets killed or is so ****ing scared he will choke himself to death

and even if he makes the throw
he will hear footsteps the rest of that cold night in the frozen shadow of the rocky mountains

**Rain Man** · 11-13-2013, 10:59 PM

I think there are two keys to the game.

1. Make Manning panic and hear footsteps.

2. Score at least three points.

bricks · 11-13-2013, 11:03 PM

I think the key is #1.

Poe has to have a monster game. Don't let Manning get comfortable in the pocket and give him a chance. That pocket needs to be collapsed. Force him to move around that way he could aggravate that ankle more. Who knows that may effect the way he sets his feet and cause his throws to be a bit off?

So I think thats important, and our corners have to bring there "A" game Sunday night. I'd like to see a lot of physicality going on between our corners and their receivers. Jam the guys at the line and disrupt the timing of the routes and plus really tight man to man coverage.

Gravedigger · 11-13-2013, 11:04 PM

How about our 1 key to winning the game is to.... win the game. I don't care how you do it but win the game.

prhom · 11-13-2013, 11:08 PM

I really think it boils down to pressure on Manning. If we can't do that we won't win period. Smith and Charles can have their best game of the season and it wouldn't be enough to beat Manning if he can just sit back and not get hit. The other points are great, just not the key to the game IMO.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 11-13-2013, 11:09 PM

Hit him early and often. The rest will take care of itself.

Simply Red · 11-13-2013, 11:17 PM

If they pull this off, I'll then believe we will win a playoff game.
