MVP of the playoff win?

[Direckshun]

I think you gotta go Alex Smith, although Kelce probably deserves some recognition.

[Deberg_1990]

Brian Hoyer

[LiveSteam]

KC defense or Hoyer

[EPodolak]

Can we vote for Hoyer?

[Smed1065]

Defense

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Fish, simply for shoving Watt's dick in the dirt.

[ThaVirus]

I seriously can't choose one guy. Like most of our wins during this streak, we're winning it as a team. Certain guys are a bit more important than others at times but..

If I was forced to choose I guess I'd say Kelce. Alex took far too long to get the offense in gear tonight. Ware, Santos and everyone on defense would probably come up next in honorable mentions.

[Vietnam58]

id say Kelce or Bailey

[HonestChieffan]

Alex has to be at the top but if you ever saw a team MVP this one has it.

[Meatloaf]

How about Knile? Put a dagger in their heart right at the get-go.

[Rain Man]

That's a hard decision, which is wonderful. When the whole team contributed (other than Albert Wilson), the whole team deserves it.

On an individual basis, it's hard to not make it a defensive player given the shutout, and Marcus Peters jumps out as a candidate. But how do you vote against Alex? Or Kelce?

I don't think I can even cast a vote. I love them all.

[l4z4rd]

obviously Hoyer

[Coach]

big nasty kcnut for finally breaking the curse.

Way to go kid.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Bob Sutton

[Rain Man]

How about Knile? Put a dagger in their heart right at the get-go.

That may be my favorite playoff moment of all time after the Keith Cash touchdown and the 4th down touchdown by Montana against Pittsburgh.

[Mr. Laz]

after a shaky start, Alex Smith turned it around.
Eric Fisher went up against the best in the league and only lost once the entire game, i think.
Ware lived up to his nickname "WareBeast"
Kelce stepped up when Maclin went down
Sean Smith and Marcus Peters were rock solid

so many good players ... team win ... give it to John Dorsey for assembling such a strong roster.

[RealSNR]

I'd want to give it to the defense, and if I have to pick one player, that'd be Eric Berry. Several key tackles plus had the pick. Plus, he's clearly the emotional energy to the lifeblood of this defense.

Kelce, Alex, and the offensive line are honorable mentions.

[big nasty kcnut]

Kniles Davis did a esky!

[Rain Man]

Andy Reid particularly called out Cairo Santos in his post-game press conference. His kickoffs kept Houston deep in a hole the whole game, and he's now kicked the two longest field goals in Chiefs postseason history.

[scho63]

1. Defense
2. Hoyer
3. Kelce
4. Knile Davis and special teams MINUS the penalties

He saved a long Hopkin's TD on a screen on 3rd down in the 3rd quarter as well. If he misses that tackle, Hopkin's houses it.

[Sandy Vagina]

A close look, combined with all of these posts suggests.. TOTAL TEAM EFFORT.

boring answer... but an awesome one, if you really think about it. CHIEFS.

[blsilks]

This game was over 11 seconds in. Knile Davis is the MVP.

Reid and Dorsey are in complete unity together.

It's a beautiful thing. Think how far this organization has come in 3 years.

[Buehler445]

Sutton.

[Mav]

The defense hands down.

[Iconic]

Knile kind of just ripped out the Texans souls from the get go. Nothing was the same after that.

But Mauga's pick literally ended any and all hope for the Texans. He gets a massive HM for a clutch pick near the endzone.

sheeeiit.. no one should argue with that. :thumb:

[milkman]

The defense played great today, and a big reason for that was the fact that Poe was blowing up everything in the middle, disrupting everything that the Texans were trying to do on offense.

It's hard to pick out one guy in a team effort like this, but he would be my choice.

isn't that back-to-back game with a big int for Mauga?

And that pick was the result of a bad throw by Hoyer against pressure straight up the middle from Poe.

[EyePod]

Santos. Hit both 49 yard field goals and had all kickoffs as touchbacks.

[Sandy Vagina]

Santos. Hit both 49 yard field goals and had all kickoffs as touchbacks.

dude was on point.. good shout out.

[bricks]

Defensive MVP Allen Bailey

Special teams MVP Dustin Colquitt

Offensive MVP Travis Kelce

[jonzie04]

Santos. Hit both 49 yard field goals and had all kickoffs as touchbacks.

Reid Mentioned him in the post game presser. He did a great job.

Overall I'd say

1. Defense as a whole. If i had to pick 1 guy I'd say Sean Smith or Peters for taking away Houstons only real offensive threat.
2. Kelce.

[headsnap]

Andy Reid particularly called out Cairo Santos in his post-game press conference. His kickoffs kept Houston deep in a hole the whole game, and he's now kicked the two longest field goals in Chiefs postseason history.

I thought his full name was Brazilian Born Kicker Cairo Santos...

Kelce catches were clutch but he needs improve his blocking tremendously. However I think he did get a shot on pussy Watt.


J.J. Watt is so overrated.

That should read one Peters phantom PI.

[Baby Lee]

Got a look at the Hoyer fumble, and it was clearer on review, Poe didn't absorb it. When he went to his back, the ball was in the crook of his left elbow. So he had it between his side-titty-meat and his left upper arm as he rolled onto his back.

[BigCatDaddy]

1. Defense
2. Hoyer
3. Kelce
4. Knile Davis and special teams MINUS the penalties

Yeah. Throw Santos in there at 4. Those 2 bombs if missed could have changed things a bit.

yes, this is how I saw it live.. but confirmation pleases. Just didn't know if he would "truly" end up with it, according to refs... :)

[BigCatDaddy]

Also Ware seema to being something different to the offense. Id have to put him uo there behind Kelce on the O.

[Buns]

The whole D-Line got good push, Poe, Bailey, and Howard all rushed well. Eric Berry seemed to be all over the place though.

With Abdullah's dad passing and Tamba Jr being born, there had to be so much energy and emotion fueling the team. This was just a great overall team win, minus Wilson of course

[Mr. Laz]

J.J. Watt is so overrated.Kelce has a pretty big effort issue when he blocks.

He's pretty half-heartened about it, usually just lowers a shoulder.

[Mr. Laz]

Also Ware seema to being something different to the offense. Id have to put him uo there behind Kelce on the O.

imo Ware should start

He's got surprising agility and bring way more power than West. Nothing against West but we need that extra 2/3 yards until our offense gets it going.

[BigCatDaddy]

He should get the most carries. Watching your RB bulldoze a safety seems to provide a mental edge to an offense that a speed/slasher back doesn't.

[Red Dawg]

Defense for sure. Smith and Travis next.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Let's give a little shout out to Santos, too. He was good for two 49 yarders with plenty of room to spare and boomed the kickoffs deep every time. Well done, lil fella!

[Potato]

Poe's bullrush was the benefactor or multiple picks and incompletions, Houston had no answer for it. I say him or peters.

[hometeam]

JJ WATT?

Never heard of her.

[BigCatDaddy]

So Scott Pioli is the MVP? :D

Funny how it turned out because Poes talents would be hugely waisted in the read and react.

[Bob Dole]

And we won but Alex's passing yards were crap!

FANTASY FOOTBALL!!!

Allen Bailey.

2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles.

Can someone make a gif of the play Bailey ran the OL into Hoyer and Hoyer fumbled??

It was sweet.

Alex smith


Fuck everyone

He's every bit as good as advertised.

But he's just one man and we went into Houston with the perfect gameplan to work around him.

Now you go with a white male? WTF?!

At one point we had 3 points off 4 turnovers. No fucking way Smith gets MVP.

Defense gets the game ball, MVP to Poe.

It was Hoyer. Easily.

This.

We brought pressure non-stop today until the end of the 4th quarter.

This game ball should go to Sutton...

No way until after the playoffs. Clay is banned and we finally win a playoff game! Coincidence?

Total team effort....or Direction being frightened of the Texan reverse curse ROFL

[Halfcan]

Which 4 is that?

Bailey with 2 sacks, Poe crashing the line-5 total tackles, Howard was killing it-4 total tackles a big sack, and Devito with 2 tackles and held the line pretty well.

[Ragged Robin]

Albert Wilson

[BigCatDaddy]

Bailey with 2 sacks, Poe crashing the line-5 total tackles, Howard was killing it-4 total tackles a big sack, and Devito with 2 tackles and held the line pretty well.

Ok. But we have a front 3.

[Tribal Warfare]

The entire defensive corps are the MVP

[CoMoChief]

Hoyer to be honest. He's the ultimate reason why the Chiefs won, and shut them out for that matter. I dont think he'll ever start for another team again after that performance...certainly not w/ the Texans. Kudos to the Chiefs defense to take advantage of that, but they're not going to have that luxury playing the best QB of the last 15 yrs in Foxboro. Chiefs need to bring and wear their big boy pants and bring it to the Pats like they did last year at Arrowhead..and I'm sure the Pats will be reminded of that game for extra bulletin board motivation. Hope we can sneak out a win and PIT beat Denver and we get to play an AFCC game at Arrowhead holy shit that would be badass.

Knile Davis or Kelce get the nod for runner up. Starting the game off w/ a kickoff return to the house is a major momentum boost. Gives the offense a little breathing room. And no one could really stop Kelce...Texans have had issues all season stopping TE's, and had issues stopping Kelce in wk1...this game really was no different other than Kelce not getting into the endzone.

[nychieffan]

defense....great performance

[jspchief]

How about Knile? Put a dagger in their heart right at the get-go.
That's my vote. I think that score set the tone for the entire game.

[HemiEd]

The defense played great today, and a big reason for that was the fact that Poe was blowing up everything in the middle, disrupting everything that the Texans were trying to do on offense.

It's hard to pick out one guy in a team effort like this, but he would be my choice.

agreed, Poe was the first to come to mind when I saw this thread. But Alex, Knile, Berry, Kelce, Fisher, lots of deserving players. They all stepped up.

[Discuss Thrower]

Correct answer is "Brian Hoyer"

[BigCatDaddy]

Correct answer is "Brian Hoyer"

Some was him laying a turd on the field and some was the defense he was facing. Its time to call the D elite.

I can actually now believe we can Dilfer our way to a SB with that group.

[Discuss Thrower]

Some was him laying a turd on the field and some was the defense he was facing.

I think its time to be calling that D an NFL elite one.

Defensive line came up huge with the two fumbles, definitely. But a lot of those picks were just dumb shit decisions.

I think a Chase Daniel lead Texans keep the game within a score.

Chiefs have a better O than the Dilfer Ravens did. D might not be as good but then again different rules.

He may well be a Texan with that qroup.
A few were dumb, a few he had some pressure. Even with time he was horribly inaccurate even when guys were open. It was a bit of both.

Right. They did have Jamal Lewis to ride who was a beast in his day also.
