Whitlock: Crazy Things Happen
Whoever guessed "I told you we should've signed Ty Law" gets a cookie.
CRAZY THINGS HAPPEN JASON WHITLOCK COMMENTARY Posted on Mon, Jan. 01, 2007 I never doubted. When Carl Peterson took my advice and signed Ty Law, I told you Law would carry the Chiefs to the playoffs. It was written, and now it’s reality. Law’s crucial third-quarter interception set up Larry Johnson’s 2-yard touchdown run and was the most important play in Kansas City’s season-saving 35-30 victory Sunday over Jacksonville at Arrowhead Stadium. Sure, that sounds crazy. But is it really any crazier than what happened on New Year’s Eve? To make the playoffs, the Chiefs needed to beat the Jaguars and for (darn) near every AFC home team with a winning record to lose. It all happened. It happened despite three Trent Green turnovers. It happened even though the Steelers and the 49ers needed overtime to knock off the Bengals and the Broncos. It happened because Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis mismanaged his timeouts and instructed his quarterback to kneel on second down and spike the ball on third at the end of regulation. It happened because Mike Shanahan’s rookie quarterback played like a rookie in the biggest game of the year. Happy New Year! Lamar Hunt arrived in football heaven just in time to have a little talk with the football gods about the playoff-deprived Chiefs fans. And you know what? The sixth-seeded Chiefs drew the one AFC playoff team they’re capable of beating on the road. The Indianapolis Colts don’t want to see any parts of LoJomotive #27. Seriously, guess the quarter LoJo #27 goes over 200 yards Saturday afternoon? You know Herm Edwards is ordering extra coal right now, and he’ll instruct Mike Solari and Trent Green to shovel hot coals in LoJo #27 all afternoon. The over/under on Larry Johnson carries for Indianapolis is 35. The Colts defense gives up a league-worst 5.3 yards per carry. That’s more than a yard more than any other AFC playoff team. There’s no reason to get cute with the game plan on Saturday. The Chiefs should put all their receivers on the inactive list and line up with seven offensive linemen, Tony Gonzalez, a fullback, Trent Green and LoJomotive #27, the NFL record holder for carries in a season. Given the opponent and the game plan, Green’s struggles are irrelevant. The Chiefs are not going to engage Peyton Manning in a shootout as they did in Dick Vermeil’s lone playoff season. The key to victory will be keeping Manning off the field by running Johnson. Oh, and when the Indy offense does take the field, Colt-killer Ty Law will be matched up against Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. This whole thing is working out just the way I predicted. |

I think we should give credit where it is truly due....
Halfcan started the game thread for the 9ers and Cheatin Donks- the 2007 Miracle should once and for all- be known as Halfcan's Hail Mary. |

This game might be really funny to watch. Herm might honestly run it 60 times if we get ahead by a couple scores. It will be like the St. Louis gameplan.
