Broncos confirm Chiefs had formula to reach Super Bowl
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. The rest here: http://arrowheadaddict.com/2016/01/2...ch-super-bowl/ |

He's good, he's just not great. And IMO, what happened in New England is the same exact thing that happened in Indy and against San Diego in 2013: Without all of his pieces completely healthy, he fails to adapt. He treats Dee Ford the same as Justin Houston, Frank Zombo like Hali, Dunte Robinson like Brandon Flowers and so on. He has no ability to adapt, improvise or think outside of his game plan. But is he awful? No. Is he great? No. He's probably closer to the mid-90's Gunther Cunningham than Jim Schwartz, Vic Fangio or Rex Ryan. |

It's reeruned when posters try to shit on Sutton for that and compare it to Denver. Denver loses Roby and Von then they are completely ****ed. Bottom line: add another CB. We can't rely on Gaines to always be healthy. |

I don't think we had the secondary personal to do to ne what denver did.
With no nickel corner, a safety doing it, and our pass rushers out, man I just don't think we had the horses there. |

In the end, even doing what we did, you can't drop 3 picks and turn it over in their territory like we did. |

KC blitzed often, Denver almost always rushed 3 or 4.
KC gave a big cushion, Denver pressed the receivers. I'm not sure how Denver followed KC's blueprint.

I also don't see how Denver "followed KC's blueprint".

It's the suggestion that having a sound team, great defense and game manager QB... saying that Denver made it work to advance to the SB while all they've heard is that it would never work.

I think it's more saying denver ran the same defensive strategy the chiefs have this year to best brady and the pats, yet the chiefs, for some reason, didn't do that

But, totally ... the change in mindset with the coaches has been the biggest upgrade from 2014.

Houston and Hali suck. Sutton sucks. Ware and Miller are awesome. The end.

making excuses, deflecting ... moving the goalpost just generally being full of shit in some lame attempt to defend Sutton Didn't hate Dwayne Bowe Don't hate Bob Sutton It isn't about hating/liking someone. It's about seeing the benefits and/or flaws of someone as opposes to talking out of his ass trying to defend his team. Nothing changes that fact that Sutton is slow to adjust and had a shit scheme against the patriots.

The Chiefs played off man bc they didn't have the horses. If the Broncos don't have Von or Roby in that game they would have gotten KILLED playing press. Press man coverage doesn't ****ing work when you have no pressure on the QB. |
