Colts 30, Chiefs 14

The Chiefs are coming off a bye, which means they've had two weeks to prepare for Peyton Manning. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel knows him well from being New England's DC during the glory days of the Pats-Colts rivalry. But the Colts played well in their lone home game, and they will be focused here after losing at Jacksonville. They win big. The Chiefs are exposed some.

God I love Prisco. His douchiness is on Skip Bayless type levels. If you want a quick chuckle, take a look at his Weekly Winning Percentage on the bottom of the page.

WEEK 1: 56%
WEEK 2: 56%
WEEK 3: 50%
WEEK 4: 42%

The Colts may very well win the game, but no way the Indy D will hold the Chiefs to 14 points. The Chiefs running game will be very productive Sunday.

Certainly Indy has their holes but Manning getting older isn't one of them.

He's still the best QB in the game.

I think Brees is in the perfect system for him. Keep in mind what he was before he got to NO.

Anyways, best or 2nd best. Call it whatever you want. My main point is that I don't get what point you were trying to make in saying that he's getting older.

Are you implying that he's not absolutely great still?

This type of take from the nearly the entire media puzzles me somewhat.

What team in the entire NFL would be favored to win at Indianapolis? I don't think anyone would be IMO. If that's the case, how is a loss 'exposing' the Chiefs? Wouldn't nearly every team lose this game, including some so-called Super Bowl contenders?

Brees lit it up his last year in San Diego. He's no system QB.

Sadly, we all said this before the playoff game in 2006.

Then they put 8-9 in the box to stop the run and tried to make a scrambled-brained Trent Green beat them.

If the Colts are smart, they do the same Sunday.

FWIW, Scouts INC has this as a 27-20 Colts win.

What the fuck are you going to expose from the Chiefs? Dumbass, they are a young team on the rise. You dont expose these kind of teams...

F'ing idoit...

Reading these kinds of posts is what makes me think this place will have a galactic melt down should we lose a game by 20+ points, which is entirely possible. We're getting better, that doesn't mean we're there yet.

Sounds much more likely too me. And I can live with that. Unless, of course, we play dipshit, bonehead, football and shoot ourselves in the foot and that's how we lose.

But if we play our best and we only lose by a TD... Yeah, I can live with it.

Good point.

And if we do ever lose by 20, I bet it'll be to an unexpected opponent - someone like the effing Bills. I just think there's too much at stake here, and too much to prove. We may very well (probably?) lose to Indy. But I don't think it'll be by 20. Not this time.

Yep. A lot of people have set themselves up for a great disappointment.

Personally, I see this a lot like the days leading up to MNF. I thought anything could happen but a blowout in the Chiefs favor. I feel the same about Sunday.

Whatever happens, happens, and we move on to Houston.

I'll get bashed for saying this, but a small part of me almost hopes they get blown out - I'd like to see how they respond to adversity.

They're going to lose eventually, and how they respond to it may very well define the season.

Absofuckinglutely. I know you're not rooting for that, but I know exactly what you mean. I've been saying that I can't get on a playoffs bandwagon regardless of record until I see how they respond to a loss. That's such a HUGE aspect for a young team like this. Will they bury their heads up their asses like Denver did last year? Or will they put their fucking heads down and work harder? That defines who this team is, and we won't know it until they lose a tough game.

You masochist, you.

I'm almost more pumped about this game than I was about the Chargers game. All of the media doubting we've been receiving, all of the shit I've been taking from everyone telling me how we're going to lose.....

This is the Chiefs opportunity to step up and show the NFL that we are the real deal.

Unfortuantely, if they win, all they'll talk about is how the Colts are self destructing.

Mr. Flopnuts

10-07-2010, 09:24 AM

I disagree. If we win this game, and put Peyton on his ass a few times, combined with Berry getting that first pick, all we'll hear about this next week is how the Chiefs are back and it's because of the executive of the decade, and the next Bill Parcells. I'm dead serious. THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER! You'll hear that line over and over if we win this game.

Mr. Flopnuts

10-07-2010, 09:26 AM

Basically, I'd love to go in and steal this game. We'd get all the hype, lose that underdog status, and then probably go in and lose a tough game in Houston. From there, we'd be looking at Jacksonville, who is showing they may not be as bad as I thought they were. That would be a good test to see where this team is at after a tough loss, and it would be at home.

Should we lose that game as well, we have Buffalo. Then we'd really know what this team is all about. It's about a perfect scenario IMHO.

I've never understood why people give a shit what the media says.

Who gives a fuck if the media gives us respect? Hell, I watched Inside the NFL last night, and 2 of the 3 said we wouldn't make the playoffs.

It changes nothing. We still play Indy this week, Houston next week, etc.

I'm with you, but I think the players and coaching staff use that as motivation at this point. I don't know that obviously, but I have a feeling these kids are thinking to themselves "Keep fucking doubting us!"

Yeah... You see a lot of the "Well, we won Game X that we weren't supposed to win, so Game Y should be a no brainer easy win." And on and on down the schedule. Except that I fully expect us to lose one or two we shouldn't have lost as well. We've gotten just about all the breaks in the games so far. Compared to last year when it seemed nothing would go our way. That's got to even itself out eventually. But the majority of the fans are rabid and can't see any reason that we'd regress at all from this point forward. My homer fan friends have been laughing at my tempered expectations since the Tuesday after our season started.

It's the NFL so I think the Chiefs certainly have a shot.

My question is that if you're a person who thinks the Chiefs will (not could) win the game, then what do you have their final record being? Seems to me that if you have them winning this game, you must think they're a 12-4 or better type of team with their schedule.

Obviously I think it'd be sweet if they won but in Indy, against one of the all time great QBs when ours still had huge question marks, I'm having a hard time seeing it.

Outside of the win, I'd really like to see us going in the 4th with a chance to win & Matt is progressing and showing signs he could be our QBOTF. That's what I'm looking for.

If the 4th rolls around and we're down 10 or more, I'll be pretty disappointed.

That wasn't a shot at you. Not at all. I've been reading a lot posts that I think set up unrealistic expectations for this team. Our QB could be exposed. Our LB's could be exposed, our WR's could be exposed, or God forbid, our running game could be exposed due to a lack of a legitimate passing game.

I see multiple possibilities for this team to be exposed as not as good as they've looked to this point. As teams get more tape on what we're doing with our brand new, All-World coordinators, they'll be able to game plan for us better. I'm just still in a wait and see approach with these guys. They're clearly better than they have been the last 3 years, and that's plenty for me. I'm not so sure the same is going to apply to everyone else. There's a lot of hype on this board all of a sudden.

Was making the case earlier that Caldwell could be the second coming of George Seifert or Barry Switzer. Coaches that inherited great teams that ran themselves through to the second season where things started to unravel when the coach had to really "take the reins."
The Colts have not one significant roster change from last year, and yet they look like a completely different team from last year.

I just think we need to have tempered support. It's a process, (pun intended) and things are lining up nicely. But we have a ways to go, and no one should expect some kind of playoff run this year. Hell, before the season started everyone was saying 8-8 would make them happy. What if this team goes 6-10? People think that's entirely impossible at this point, and it's my contention that until we see this team respond from a tough loss, nothing is set in stone. We're just getting started.

Keep perspective. Things look a lot better than they have in the last few years. This team is on an upward swing, but there are some tough lessons to be learned between now and when this team is the finished product. I will say this much, depending on how Pioli deals with Cassel if he shits the bed this year, this team could easily be a 12 win team for the next 8 years starting in 2012. I mean, there's a lot more going on than just Cassel. Clark is going to have to be willing to pay players, they're going to have to continue drafting well, etc. But the foundation is set AFAIC.

If the Chiefs wind up 6-10, it's a disaster. With this schedule, anything less than 8-8 is unacceptable. Even that would mean going 5-8 against a soft schedule.

FWIW, Scouts INC has this as a 27-20 Colts win.

I think there are a couple differences here.

#1) Charles and Jones are both better than LJ was at the end of 2006.

#2) Bob Sanders came back for the playoffs and gave that defense a boost. He won't be back this week.

#3) The Chiefs didn't have an YAC thread like DMC then.

I think the Chiefs have a shot. Not saying they will win, but I think that they are getting sold a little short. As was said above, no team would be favored to win in Indy.

Sooner or later at team is going to load the box, jump the short routes, and make Cassel beat them deep. The Colts may not have the players to stop the run this week, but sooner or later Cassel is going to have to do it. We will have to develop more balance to be consistently productive on the offensive side of the ball.

Look at the what the Pats did in 2001, 2003 and 2004. They didn't go downfield much. A couple of well timed shots (similar to the Chiefs so far this year).... and mainly underneath stuff.

You can stretch a defense horizontally as well as vertically.

After watching Haley's presser yesterday, I'm more convinced than ever that we have a super-secret plan in store for the Mannings.

This is going to be a win for the ages.

It is good to hear Mr. Fax speak well of our chances. I actually trust his opinion. Though he can't predict the future, he is probably the most level-headed person here.

Beware, Mr. The_Wiz. My judgment has flown like the vulture of favoritism into the night of partiality in search of the deer guts of prejudice spilled asunder on the highway of predilection.

I have gone into full-on, unabashed homer mode since the 69rs game.

Manning may be the Great Accomplishment Facilitator on his team, the guy that gets Indy over impossible-looking humps, but he can truly suck my dick while feeding me a fucking Oreo cookie; I hope we absolutely humiliate that motherfucker.

Let's not put too much on this game, gentlemen.

We are building towards something big in the future, and this is just another step in that direction.

If we win, I will be excited. If we lose, I will suffer, but the ultimate goal is improvement.

For, after all, we are gentlemen ... not pussies. And, like the gentlemen we are, it behooves us to make our apologies to the league after ripping Manning's head off and throwing it down the tunnel to the locker room so we can have it stuffed and mounted for Romeo's office wall.

Like I've said before, I don't think there is a team in the league that would be favorites playing at Indianapolis even so-called SB contenders. Given that, why would a KC loss invalidate what they have done so far? Answer:

It wouldn't.

I'll get bashed for saying this, but a small part of me almost hopes they get blown out - I'd like to see how they respond to adversity.

Yes, they did.

And my point is that we all still went on and on about how we'd run on them.

Just like a lot of folks are doing now.

I hope like hell we can, and do run on them.

But I'm not naive enough to think that we absolutely will, like others are.

The difference between this Chiefs team and that '06 team is coaching.

I have no illusions that we will win this game, but I do think we will compete.

That game plan that Herman fucking Edwards and Mike Solari used in '06 was absolutely pathetic.

And adjustments?

I think Herman fucking Edwards and Mike Solari are still looking in the dictionary to find the definition of that word.

LJ up the ass again and again.

Whether Cassel can have any success passing the ball is debatable, but I have little doubt that Weis will be far more creative, both with the use of the passing game, and in the running game.

Unlike that '06 game, the Colts will have to defend the entire field from sideline to sideline, even if they line up with 8 in the box.

What I sincerely hope, is that Weis takes some shots downfield and that he isn't watching the Jags film thinking it is the 'blueprint'.

I know the Chiefs want to take the ball away from Manning as much as possible, but I hope they take some well timed shots.... especially on first down.

Every year we win a surprise game, and blow one we were counting on.

I believe that's a product of coaching.

You rarely ever saw Parcells coached teams lose to teams that they should win against.

You rarely see that with Bellichick.

You rarely saw that with Tony Dungy.

Those caoaches (even Dungy, who is about the most overrated coach ever) keep/kept their teams focused on the task at hand.

Lesser teams get up for the better teams, which is why you often see them win games they shouldn't.

But teams that don't overlook those lesser teams don't often lose to those teams.

Was making the case earlier that Caldwell could be the second coming of George Seifert or Barry Switzer. Coaches that inherited great teams that ran themselves through to the second season where things started to unravel when the coach had to really "take the reins."
The Colts have not one significant roster change from last year, and yet they look like a completely different team from last year.

I really blieve that people are underestimating the difference that Ryan Lija's release has made for that team.

Manning is getting pressured staright up the gut this year, and that had a lot to do with the success the Texans and Jags had against the Colts.

They didn't let Manning sit in the pocket and take his shots downfield.
They forced him to get rid of the ball and kept everything short.

If Crennel can take advantage of their weakness up front and find a way to get that same pressure from the middle, the Chiefs should be able to make Manning rely on the short passing game to move the colts.

You aren't going to stop Manning and that offense, but you can make them work for their scores.

I love that everyone is sleeping on us...just gives the guys even more motivation to go into Indy win.

These morons on ESPN are acting like it's a foregone conclusion...Jon Richie said the Colts are "going to end the charade"...go fuck yourself.

God I want to win this game more than anything.

Sadly, we all said this before the playoff game in 2006.

Then they put 8-9 in the box to stop the run and tried to make a scrambled-brained Trent Green beat them.

Bob Sanders played against the Chiefs. That Colts run D magically got to be immensely better with him in the lineup.

I think we are a huge longshot to win this game.

However, those comparing this team to the 06 ones are ridiculous.

We have 100x better coaching, a better ground game, a better line, and a better defense than that 06 team.

The Colts I don't see as nearly the team they were then either.

Morgan in the back end, their interior line sucks and linebackers are fooled easily.

Charles and Jones should have well over 200 on Sunday.

Will it be enough? I doubt it.
