Chiefs "How" do the Chiefs win? - Page 5

Okay, so even the most optimistic person on here would have to admit that the Ravens are the better team, at least on paper.

Perhaps, by some strange turn of events, the Chiefs are very talented and have just been grossly under coached over the last two years, but that has yet to be seen.

So, the only weakness on the Ravens defense I see is the corners. Only, you have to actually pass protect to take advantage of that.

The only weakness on the Ravens offense I see is Flacco. This kid took advantage of a good running game and having very little asked of him. I think he will be a good QB, but not great. I think he was able to catch the NFL off guard a little. I think the NFL will have more of a read on what he can do.

Clearly, the Chiefs are not going to run up a ton of points against that defense. I think the offense MUST stay patient and play field position. If the Chiefs can establish the run, even if they aren't just blowing open holes and creating long runs, I think they can take a couple of shots downfield.

On defense, the Chiefs need to make the Ravens earn every yard. I think the secondary can get a couple of INT's at the expense of a young QB who may become impatient.

He is a big mobile guy, but he also fumbles. The Chiefs have to get a few shots on him and get their hands on the ball.

Hey, if the Chiefs offense can keep from making mistakes, and if the defense can force the Ravens into making a couple mistakes... this could be a good game.

Either way, I don't 'think' the Ravens cover the spread. Not in their first game.

BUMP.

I was at the game yesterday wearing my red and gold, and let me tell you, we quietted 60000+ fans for most of the game.

I think (for once), i was right! The stats dont show, but we played a heck of a game. The 500 yards the D gave up is more because they were out on the field for 40 minutes moreso than lack of effort/execution. As mentioned, if Flowers plays, maybe that last TD is knocked down. Maybe if we aren't on the field that whole time, TT has that extra burst to hit Flacco before he releases it.

Although it was a loss, it was not the kind of loss we have seen the past two years in my opinion. This team DID not quit, we did not throw in the towel when we QUICKLY went down 10-0. Coaching makes a difference, and i am more than excited about this weeks game versus

If anyone has questions about the Ravens' fans and their opinions on us at the game, feel free to ask.

So, how were the Ravens' fans and what was their opinion on us at the game? I just had to ask...

The problem was defense, like it or not. If they are on the field for 40 plus game minutes, it's also because they couldn't do their job and force the Ravens to punt. We showed some flashes, and DJ came up huge, but nobody expected them to come out with an aerial assault from hell like they did. Flacco showed he's got game. Ravens will be tough this year for anyone who plays them.

Let me respond to the 2nd part of your post first. The defense IMO, played better than you give them credit. They will get better as they learn more, but as you mentioned they were not prepared. Flacco will not have a game as good as this the rest of the season. As i said before, they are going to ask him to do too much, and he cannot. Against a better team, they lose this game because of Flacco, not win in spite of him.

Next. At first all the fans could do is talk smack, but as the game went on, they were VERY impressed by the defense, at how we were getting pressure. They commented on the soft zone, but as the game went on, opinions changed. they repeated called LJ washed up, and majority didn't know who D-Bowe was, and I told them, they soon will. (I was not completely right). They pissed all over Brodie before the game started, and I told them if he has time, he is a serviceable QB, to which they laughed. By th end of the game, one of them actually came up to me and said, they were wrong. Wished us good luck, told me that if we played like that all season, we would win some games, to which i thanked him and agreed.

They were very shocked at how we were able to move the ball against their vaunted defense. (Yea 150+ yards isn't much, but we DID move the ball in the 3rd and 4th quarters once we made adjustments). They were expecting a BLOWOUT, and they were severly sweating from the 2nd quarter throughout the rest of the game.

The local media gave us some credit saying how well prepared we looked and that we were a different team then what was expected.

Let me know if there are any other q's, i should probably get some work done now..

"How" do the Chiefs win?"

Havn't read all the responses but I have some suggestions:

1) Poison. Need an insider on the opponents team that has access to their pre-game dinner.

2) Sabaotage their flight. Stand by the runway when they lift off and throw canadian geese into the engines.

3) Bribes. Lots of bribes. To the ref's, opponent coaches and even the other players.

4) Convince the other team that the game is actually tomorrow instead of today. Once they leave, then kickoff.

5) Negotiations. Kidnap the other teams family members and hold them for ransom which would be them forfeiting the game.

OK, these are just a few. But if we could perfect these models, we'll win the superbowl!!!!
