So, who do we want coming to Arrowhead in two weeks?

[TimBone]

It's looking like the Colts are gonna hang on against the Titans in these last few minutes.

The AFC playoffs shake out like this:

1. Kansas City Chiefs
2. New England Patriots
3. Houston Texans
4. Baltimore Ravens
5. Los Angeles Chargers
6. Indianapolis Colts

Next week's marchups:

Colts @ Texans
Chargers @ Ravens

After those games, we will be facing the lowest seeded team in the Divisional Round. Obviously that will it be the Texans or the Patriots.

So, two weeks from now, who do we want to face? The Chargers, Ravens, or Colts?

No poll. Just explain who and why.

[Gravedigger]

Chargers or Colts, paybacks a bitch!

[htismaqe]

Don’t care. The Chiefs can beat any one of them.

Colts. Not really even close.

I'll settle for the Chargers. I'd rather not play the Ravens.

We'll beat them all.

[Sassy Squatch]

Ravens. We can beat their defense and hopefully our defense should be able to use their experience to handle their offense.

[KC_Connection]

Colts are by far the worst team of the three teams they could potentially play and there's no way their defense can stop Mahomes. Bring on the Colts.

[Jerok]

Plz don't let the Colts come. Luck will kill us and their defense is no joke.

Chargers or Ravens? I think I'd rather face the Ravens, then Chargers, then Colts, but that's just me.

[tk13]

The Raiders.

[CaliforniaChief]

I feel like the most fun path would be avenging our 2 AFC losses this year.

So Chargers, then Patriots in the AFCCG.

If Watkins comes back strong with LDT and Berry is functional, I like our chances against anyone at Arrowhead.

We know them and have beaten them 9 in a row before 2 weeks ago where they barely beat us at the end. They’ve led for a grand total of 4 seconds against us.

We will want revenge on them too.

Yep.

I was hyper-focused on the games I actually attended.

[ChiefsFanatic]

Anybody but the Colts.Well, if the playoff theme this year is breaking curses, the Colts would be the correct choice.

If Mahomes led this team to a home playoff win against the Colts, I think it would start a new era of postseason success for this franchise.

With this defense, they will all be tough. But with Patrick Mahomes, they’re all winnable. It just doesn’t matter.

The good news is, we’ve lost in incredibly bad ways to so many teams in the playoffs in the past, any team we play will be a revenge game

I don’t want to think about that team sending us home again.

Generally a good rule although perhaps not when you have the worst run defense since the 2008 Rams.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Isn't even all that close really.

How much of that is altered by the early season, though. With Luck fully healthy and a competent D and running game, they're dangerous.

[HolyHandgernade]

Its the Playoffs, and whoever comes in will have one playoff victory under their belt. I don't care who it is, I just hope they're a little beat up coming in.

[tk13]

We've already talked back and forth about some of these teams, the reality is they all present challenges. There are no Buffalo Bills in this year's playoffs, or a Houston Texans team with Brian Hoyer. All of those teams except for the Ravens have QBs who make plays, and even Lamar Jackson can do that with his feet, and they have the most Super Bowl caliber defense.

They all have flaws, but they're also all fairly well balanced teams. No one has an offense as explosive as KC, but every one of these other teams is ranked in or near the top 10 in scoring defense too, and obviously the Chiefs aren't anywhere near that.

I think history might say the Ravens, not just because of the running QB but he's also inexperienced in the playoffs. But, they are really rough matchup for us because our defense hasn't shown any ability to stop the run, and they're ripping off 200+ yards a game since Jackson took over. I think the Colts are scarier than some here give them credit for, just because I don't know how we stop that offense. It's basically flipping a coin of who has the ball last.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Luck’s home/road splits are pretty significant. Definitely better at home in that cozy dome.

They’ll have traveled for their third straight weeks. They’ll probably be pretty bruised from playing the Broncos and Ravens. They’re a familiar opponent. Reid has an incredible record against AFC West teams.

There’s no chance we look past them. Mahomes and company should want blood in that one.

Colts. Luck in cold weather + hostile environment + revenge. Don’t like Ravens running all over us and limiting Mahomes to like 4 total possessions. Don’t like the Chargers because they are a fairly complete team and have beaten us at home already.

But I honestly don’t care that much I guess. Bring on whoever.

Luck’s home/road splits are pretty significant. Definitely better at home in that cozy dome.

He just put up 3 TD’s, 285 yards and a 109 rating on a top 10 defense outdoors.

[In58men]

It’ll be Houston or Indy

I’d rather have Indy

[Hammock Parties]

Luck isn't Wilson.

If you put a rush on him he will throw picks.

[Buehler445]

I want the most limited offense because our offense is going to fucking score. Especially if Watkins is back and Reek is healthy - he looked a lot faster tonight.

Defense needs help getting stops.

[TwistedChief]

It’ll be Houston or Indy

I’d rather have Indy

There's a 0% chance it's Houston.

Hope it's Indy. That's poetic and we need some poetry.

[Redbled]

The Ravens have the worst QB. That's who you want to face in the playoffs.

Totally agree. Keep Luck and Rivers away.

[Hoover]

I worry about the Colts because I think we would be gutted by Luck, Ebron, Mack and Hilton, but honestly they are probably like the Chargers with a worse defense. So frankly it doesn't really matter. Just get me to an AFC championship game!

[Iconic]

IMO Chargers match up best with us and the Ravens match up the worst.

Pugs has a really good point about Luck playing like shit away from home, he has a 85.9 passer rating on the road.

Yes, but:

Home—21 TDs, 5 INTs, 2,413 yards
Away—18 TDs, 10 INTs, 2,180 yards

His road completion percentage is quite a bit lower and his YPA was 1.5 yards lower entering tonight. Passer rating was 25 points lower.

[Eleazar]

Houston would be the most favorable matchup later on, they are the worst of all the teams remaining against the pass, and the matchup between the QBs favors us the most, but that's unlikely in any case. After that it's probably Baltimore, even though we needed a miracle to beat them a few weeks ago. I think that QB matchup favors us most among the others.

The formula for success against us is pretty obvious, keep the ball away from the offense. Or as the Chargers showed (and maybe only they have the horses to do), come in with a defense that can slow our offense down and bring an offense that might be able to outscore them.

At this stage of the season, anyone who comes calling is going to be a challenge. We lost 4 out of 6 games this year against teams that made the playoffs. The defense hasn't moved the needle all year. We are the most deeply flawed team, and yet are the top seed in a conference with no dominant team.

[Gravedigger]

All I know is if we go out, I want our Defense blowing the game hard. I want Sutton gone and that's the only scenario where I can see it happening.

[Blick]

Colts or Chargers

Don't want to see the Ravens

[Chief Northman]

Chargers will get stomped if they come back to Arrowhead.
Ravens secondary play is sloppy at times. Poor matchup for them, especially if Chiefs get a lead.
Colts scare me the most. Titans never sniffed Luck, and that defense is fast - they can match our speed.

Chiefs chances at home are way better though, considering the defense. Mahomes can spin it anywhete, but our defense has generally looked semi-competent at home.
Hoping to hear some good news regarding health/player returns.

[KS Smitty]

In a perfect world I would pick the Colts for some much needed Karma. The Ravens D is the most worrisome IMO and the Chargers... well I guess I find them the most beatable.

[TimBone]

It’ll be Houston or Indy

I just don't think we have to worry about seeing the Texans at Arrowhead in two weeks.

Maybe you're right, though. Who knows?

I'll tell you what, let's make a bet. Loser leaves CP for one entire season.

[BigRedChief]

Your playing a final 4 for a Super Bowl berth. Of course they are all going to be good teams capable of beating each other.

We have the best QB and MVP. Every year that matters. Being the #1 seed in AFC is also an advantage. 4 out of the last 5 years, the #1 seed went on to the Super Bowl.

[RealSNR]

I'd also factor in which QBs are most likely to turn the ball over when pressured. Turnovers are gold to this team more than other teams because every game is going to be a shoot out (or a run-out if you're Baltimore).

Lamar Jackson has had 3 picks all year; 2 to Oakland, 1 to Cincinnati. He's actually been taking care of the ball well. We've had success with getting Rivers to throw picks in the past. Luck's got 15 INTs on the year, and while he's great at fumbling the ball into himself for TDs, getting a couple picks against him would help us out tremendously.

So I'd go with Chargers or Colts. And I think it's time to fucking beat the Colts in the playoffs.

[alanm]

I'd bet money the Chiefs will be playing the Colts. And for obvious reasons we need to stomp a mudhole in that demon. :cuss:

[WhiteWhale]

Fuck that. I wish KC could play the Colts AND the Steelers. Too bad Mayfield couldn't take it home at the end.

Lamar Jackson has 10 fumbles in six starts.

Int's aren't the only turnovers.

[BWillie]

In no way shape or form do I want to play the Chargers. They are dangerous, getting healthy, and clicking on all cylinders for the most part.

The Ravens are going to struggle to score enough to beat us. Nobody can stop this offense. We haven't scored less than 27 points all year. Bring me the defensive teams, not the teams that have a good mix of good defense and good offense, like the Chargers or Saints.

[RINGLEADER]

Will be Colts.

Then Pats.

Then Rams.

2018 Revenge Tour

[RealSNR]

Lamar Jackson has 10 fumbles in six starts.

Int's aren't the only turnovers.

You can't rattle a QB through the pass rush if all he does is hand it off and run it himself. I get that the fumbles are a big deal, but the Ravens avoid precisely the only thing we do well as a defense. It's how their offense is built, and I don't like it.

Maybe Berry plays for us. Maybe he plays the entire game. And maybe his presence gives us just those needed extra 1-2 defensive stops in order to pull out a win.

But now that we've got the superior QB in every single possible matchup we'll face, I'm not worried about other QBs picking us apart. I am worried about Patrick Mahomes not having as many chances to pick the other team apart, though.

I'd feel better if Reid's playoff record were better.

I would like to play the Ravens they have the least dangerous offense. Our losses have only been against top tier qb’s.

[tk13]

5 of the last 5^^^

It's also the first time in 9 years that the Patriots or Broncos weren't the 1 seed.

Another odd stat... each of the last 13 years the AFC #1 seed has either lost their first game or made it to the Super Bowl. No in between.

Even if you go back about 30 years, teams pretty much do either/or. Unless you're Pittsburgh. There have been only 4 teams win the first game and not get to the Super Bowl, and the Steelers did it three times.

[kccrow]

Who I want and what I want to happen in those match-ups may be mutually exclusive. Either way, give me the Colts.

They have the worst running game of the potential matchups, which gives us hope that the Chiefs pass rush can be a difference maker rather than worrying as much about getting gouged by the run game.

They have the worst pass defense of any of the potential matchups, which is only a good thing for Pat and that offense.

That and I want KC to smash the ever loving dog shit out of that team from start to finish.

[Danguardace]

Colts are by far the worst team of the three teams they could potentially play and there's no way their defense can stop Mahomes. Bring on the Colts.

Take as a given that the team we will play has an offense that will score on our defense. Fine.

The question then becomes, "Can we score more on their defense?" And to that I'd say that the Colts are 16th against the pass while playing one of the easiest schedules in the league.

Not sure they're scarier than anyone else.

[Why Not?]

I know we wouldn't get em round 2, but most folks seem to think the Texans lose on Saturday. I'm not sure I agree. Hard to best a good team in division on the road twice in about a month. Texans win. We get Balt/Chargers winner.

[Pablo]

If I'm wanting the weakest team then it's the Ravens. Pat and Andy have already seen their defense once and beat it. They aren't gonna scare them the second time around. And Lamar Jackson is playing well, but he's still just a faster Tebow.

I'd gladly pound the piss out of the Chargers or Colts as well. I think whoever comes in here for the first game is getting anally violated. Then give me the Pats so we can shit on Bitch Arm Tom's legacy a little bit before the Superbowl.

[Danguardace]

Mods, don't we have the Miserable User function still available for "fans" like this one?

[B_Ambuehl]

With Rapistburger out of the picture IMO the only team you'll should be concerned with out of the entire AFC field is the colts. Has anyone watched them lately? They have the best Oline in the NFL and can run for 5 anytime they want. Luck is mobile and can throw it as good as anyone and would likely go for 400 against this defense. He has a history of late game comebacks and has never had a line like this. Their defense isn't spectacular but they make you earn everything. All the other teams have serious flaws that will likely get exposed in arrowhead:

Baltimore: No passing game. Gimmick offense.

New England: No outside passing game, immobile QB, ultra slow front 7 can't defend horizontally.

San Diego: Can't hold up in pass protection. Immobile QB

Houston: No Oline. No running game. Rely on Watson scrambling around and throwing prayers down the field.

The Colts though have no real obvious severe flaws. It will take a good game to beat them.

[scho63]

That's great n and all, but to get to the SB we only have to win two games.

offense line is our strength luck has plenty of time to throw and mack is running well through some good holes

this defense shut out dallas and held henry to less then a hundred last night and has a stud a middle linebacker in darius leonard

but beating Houston in their place is unlikely. lamar miller Watson and Hopkins on the o side, clowney and watts on the d side

I think they beat new England too

I know they’re technically underdogs, but I feel about 90% sure that we’re gonna see Indy. Just feels like a bad matchup for Houston right now.

I’m ready. No better way to end the home curse.

I kinda want the Colts and I don’t. They’re a complicated animal.

I want vengence upon thee but at the same time Im afraid they could rip the souls out of us again. Part of me thinks do we really want a team that is winning games now and is hot at the end of the year? That rhythm can carry over into the playoffs. A team that has a really good quarterback, running game and a much much improved defense and plus the history of beating us in the playoffs.

But yet, we have Mahomie who can erase all this and makes me feel somewhat confident we could beat them.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This divisional game feels like an all or nothing. I think if KC wins that, they’re going to the SB.

[L.A. Chieffan]

It's already been determined, it'll be the Colts. Blackop told me

[DwB49]

I'd also factor in which QBs are most likely to turn the ball over when pressured. Turnovers are gold to this team more than other teams because every game is going to be a shoot out (or a run-out if you're Baltimore).

Lamar Jackson has had 3 picks all year; 2 to Oakland, 1 to Cincinnati. He's actually been taking care of the ball well.

I agree Jackson is pretty good but when you throw the ball less then 25 times it become a lot less likely to throw a pick. Mahomes completes more than that. Ravens are probably the team the defensive coordinators would most like to face, but I don't see a rookie QB beating Chargers defense. Defenses are not intimidated by playing on the road.

[hell_yip]

[Easy 6]

Be careful what you wish for with the Colts

Their defense may not be great, but that O line IS... they are some mauling mfers, I fear they would dominate this front 7 badly

Gimme the Chargers, they won't beat us twice in a row

[The Franchise]

1. Chargers
2. Ravens
3. Colts

[Reerun_KC]

Colts and only The colts.

[Donger]

The Chiefs have won three consecutive division titles but haven't won a playoff game in Arrowhead Stadium since 1993, losing the last six times they hosted. They are 7-1 at home this season.

Don't care who it is. Just make this go away.

[CupidStunt]

I've thought a lot about it in recent weeks and I've read opinions and I get all the pros and cons (there's a bunch for all 3 options), and I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't matter.

We are the number 1 seed and have been the entire season. We will be rested. We have the MVP of the league and we're at home. If we cannot beat whoever shows up, we simply do not deserve to be in the AFCCG, never mind the Super Bowl. A team like the Saints or Rams on neutral ground is a MUCH tougher prospect than any AFC team at home.

I'm done caring. 9-7 teams with middling QBs have to root for X team so that they can win specifically in Y fashion. We have Mahomes, and whether it's going up and down the field and winning 35-34, or driving for a game-winning FG 24-21 as time expires, we win with him no matter who the opponent is.

Marty isn’t coaching this team and we have Mahomes. We are now every teams bad matchup.

We have no real reason to panic other than BFS from the curse of Marty.

[MahomesMagic]

I want the Colts. Then think the Chargers beat the Ravens and then play NE.

It would be a high scoring game but we win in the end.

[ChiefsCountry]

Colts. Let Chargers and New England battle each other.

[lcarus]

offense line is our strength luck has plenty of time to throw and mack is running well through some good holes

this defense shut out dallas and held henry to less then a hundred last night and has a stud a middle linebacker in darius leonard

but beating Houston in their place is unlikely. lamar miller Watson and Hopkins on the o side, clowney and watts on the d side

I think they beat new England too

I imagine you'll play the Baltimore charger winner

The Colts could beat Houston. It's a distinct possibility. The issue with the Colts is they're kinda inconsistent. They can lose to the Jags 6-0 and have to come back to beat the shitty Giants but beat Dallas, who was playing well, 23-0. Of course the Chiefs would draw the "good Colts" for the playoff game if history is any indicator.

But we owe the Colts like a lifetime of playoff spankings for the pain. THE PAIN I STILL CAN'T GET OVER!

[mdchiefsfan]

I’d prefer the Ravens go rough up New England first, so I want the Colts.

Fuck the past. This year is different because of Mahomes. If the defense brings the same aggression and intensity that they had yesterday, they will go to the SB.

[RunKC]

HFA

Hunter Henry is back for the Chargers.

That motherfucker took some sort of illegal substance. You don’t come back from ACL injuries full go in 7 months like that too often without it. I said the same thing about Edelman and then he got busted a few weeks later.

Whatever. No way he’s 100%.

Melvin Ingram came back a month quicker than Henry from an acl tear in 2013 (both May tears). He played well.

[NJChiefsFan]

The Ravens have the best chance to make it a "weird" game with their offensive style and agressive D. They also will want revenge where it would be us playing with that extra chip against the Chargers.

The Chargers and Colts would have to out-score us in a typical NFL game. Certainly could happen but at least they would have to out-duel Mahomes. Ravens could use our defense against us to negate Mahomes.

I guess for that reason I'd rather play the Colts or Chargers. Chargers have more talent, a desperate QB used to playing us, and some comfort playing in Arrowhead. That being said it would be hard for anybody to beat us twice in Arrowhead. The Ravens also have the least explosive offense and Mahomes has gotten to see their defense.

In the end our defense is bad enough that any team can be a threat to beat us. The Colts are hot, the Chargers are a division rival and that's always dangerous, and the Ravens have a great defense and run game. But our offense is capable of beating anyone so whatever, bring on whoever it is.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Melvin Ingram came back a month quicker than Henry from an acl tear in 2013 (both May tears). He played well.

And he likely didn’t get caught using some sort of illegal substance.

Von Miller did the same shit and did get caught.

We should hope for the Chargers. Anyone else would be more difficult. Rivers is a choker.

We should also hope NE gets beat.

We won’t see them. We’ll be seeing the Colts.

Andy Reid has blown out much better versions of the Patriots with Alex Smith. Not sure I’d be concerned about being outcoached.

Thats exactly where I'm at, they cant beat us twice in a row at Arrowhead

Gimme them or the Patriots... just a few days ago I was aching for payback on the Colts, but that was before I got my first good look at them this year yesterday

That O line they have is monstrous, Quentin Nelson is an absolute animal, dude was reaching second and third level blocks, taking out 2-3 guys per play by himself... just absolutely destroying people

Dude is like Dan Dierdorf, Will Shields and John Hannah rolled into one

I dont think our pass rush would even sniff Luck, and they'd also run it straight down our throats

This would definitely be my fear with Indy.

But then again, they haven’t seen Mahomes. And I think our pass rush can get pressure on anyone, especially in Arrowhead. Just would have to not let them run for 200 fucking yards. Luck will throw you the ball 2-3 times.

Yeah but I did see him get beat a couple times that I just watched him. He’s not perfect in pass pro, Jones could definitely throw him around in that regard. The run blocking is a different story.

Just one dominant force out of 5 makes such a huge difference

If that game happens, I’d like to see a lot of blitzing early. Anything to confuse their blocking scheme. They just kept running power plays with that fucker and you’re right, he was blowing up two to three guys. Can’t let it be that easy.

Go jumbo with Bailey, Hamilton, Nnadi and Jones for all but obvious passing downs... because the Colts are built for power

Don’t think we can afford to take Ford or Houston off the field ever. They’re two of our biggest threats. But I will say that Jones doesn’t need to be in there on all early downs.

The big key though? Hitchens and Ragland have to attack the LOS, and they did that yesterday better than I’ve seen all year. Fingers crossed...

[prhom]

I’m in the boat with those who don’t really care who we face, I think we have fairly similar chances of winning or losing to any of the teams. I think I would be most apprehensive about playing the Texans and Colts simply because we haven’t played them this year. There’s that sense that maybe they have a good enough game plan to keep the offense out of sync for the first half and come away with the win.

We know the Pats, Chargers, and Ravens and Reid probably has some plays worked up to tweak plays we already used against them in new ways. Mahomes also knows those players and their tendencies so he will probably be more effective the next time we play them.

I mostly just want to see the Chiefs play a game that isn’t influenced by questionable calls and inexplicable lapses in performance. The chiefs have rarely lost a game that was just hard fought and we came up short. I will have a hard time if we lose by the other QB receiving his own batted pass or recovering a fumble and scoring a TD. I feel like our chances are good to win most games if those things aren’t happening. I’m slightly encouraged that no defensive holding or PI flags were thrown against the Chiefs this week. Maybe we will be able to let our DBs actually play some defense?

[Coochie liquor]

Colts and only The colts.

So you’re saying one and d.... checks user name. Oh yeah, you’re saying one and done.

[Coochie liquor]

So, looks to me like if the 16 games the Colts have played this year 11 have been in domes (counting Dallas as a dome). They are 3-4 against teams playing outside. Losses against Eagles Pats, Jets and Jags. Wins against Skins, Fade, and Mariota-less Titans. I’m not afraid of the Colts. Bring em on, Pat is gonna clown that defense.

Even if Mahomes wins the MVP and we make it to the SB and NO just happens be our opponent; don't kid yourself here Mahomes knows there are a lot Brees ball washers out there in the national sports press that wanted Brees instead of him.

[mikezpen]

Ravens here. Keep us in mind because we'll meet again soon.

Lamar Jackson is becoming a better passer, far better than he was when we played before. And you were still fortunate to win. Ravens' offense is more balanced now, and you must contend w/more weapons.Obviously your offense can only be slowed, never stopped. Ravens did a good job holding you to 24 in regulation the last time.We have to do that well again.

Our offensive recipe is the same; we have to control the ball and clock against a suspect defense. We almost ran the Browns back to Ohio in the first half of Sunday's game, and they had been shutting down everybody they played.Then we faltered and they got back in the game.We can't let you get close. Above all, Ravens must make sure Mahomes is sitting helplessly on the bench as the game clock runs out.

I think we'll take the Chargers and the Pats.

Then the Ravens are coming to Arrowhead-and they're not bearing flowers.

[Hammock Parties]

Ravens had to convert a 4th down to get the lead, too.

Both teams were "fortunate."

Fuck off. Bill and Brady will dispose of your rookie "QB"

Sorry, we played 3 weeks ago and you're saying Lamar Jackson has made a lot of progress since then? 12/22 for 204yds and 14/24 for 179yds? 1 TD total? I guess we have a different bar in using the term "far better."

And it's nice that he's able to improve so much over the course of 3 weeks . How about Mahomes? Doesn't he have scope to have improved over the interim period as well?

The Ravens won't know what hit them if we get LDT, Erving and Weapons Specialist Samuel Watkins back.

I think it's going to be the Colts. Time to exorcise some demons

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Whoever comes to Arrowhead—they get to face 2 of the 5 most efficient edge rushers in football, per PFF.

Ford and Houston are both in the top 5 for edge rushers in ‘pass rush productivity rate’. The stat is the % of a players pass rush snaps that end with a sack, hurry, or QB hit.

[Red Dawg]

Our team is so flawed and completely one sided teams have an easy plan
Ball control. Run the ball and quick outs. Pash rush won't matter against our choices
Mahomes will be on the sideline. We must stop the run to win a playoff game.

I want to face Indy and NE in the playoffs before going to Atlanta to beat NO for the title.

This is our year. The first of many.

I’m confident that this Chiefs team has enough firepower to beat anyone in the NFL.

Especially if we get Berry, Watkins, Ware, Nnadi, LDT and others going full speed.

That game plan has never put the Chiefs in a position where they couldn’t win though, so I wouldn’t call it an easy game plan. You have to have the personnel to do it AND you have to hope the Chiefs miss opportunities.

In every one of the Chiefs losses, you can point to a few missed opportunities that were the difference in the game.

New England-A few missed TD passes early and 2 picks in the first half (the one right at the end of the half was particularly damning)
Rams-2 fumble return TDs on drives that we can safely assume would’ve ended in points for us and a dropped interception by Scandrick
Chargers-Just needed 1 (maybe 2) first downs to end it
Seahawks-2 awful fumbles in the first half and a dropped TD pass by Kelvin Benjamin that resulted in a field goal

Major missed opportunities in all of the Chiefs losses. All against playoff teams. 3 of the 4 on the road. Still, each game was a one possession differential.

This idea that it’s easy to stop the Chiefs is ridiculous. If it was so easy, the Chiefs would’ve gotten blown out at some point or straight beat. Every Chiefs loss came down to missed opportunities. If the Chiefs execute, the Chiefs win.

That game plan has never put the Chiefs in a position where they couldn’t win though, so I wouldn’t call it an easy game plan. You have to have the personnel to do it AND you have to hope the Chiefs miss opportunities.

In every one of the Chiefs losses, you can point to a few missed opportunities that were the difference in the game.

New England-A few missed TD passes early and 2 picks in the first half (the one right at the end of the half was particularly damning)
Rams-2 fumble return TDs on drives that we can safely assume would’ve ended in points for us and a dropped interception by Scandrick
Chargers-Just needed 1 (maybe 2) first downs to end it
Seahawks-2 awful fumbles in the first half and a dropped TD pass by Kelvin Benjamin that resulted in a field goal

Major missed opportunities in all of the Chiefs losses. All against playoff teams. 3 of the 4 on the road. Still, each game was a one possession differential.

Excellent!

I'll only add that they had the lead in every loss, some down to the last play.

[KChiefs1]

I want to face Indy and NE in the playoffs before going to Atlanta to beat NO for the title.



That's my thought as well.

This is all true but it's also why we're the Chiefs and the Patriots are the Patriots. Those exact things. We sit here talking about if only Scandrick had done this or some WR didn't drop a pass. Championship teams do that.

Anyone who's watched Chiefs football the last 25 years could point to a million plays like that. One play here and there that would have changed the course of history. It's time for us to actually deliver. Otherwise we're going to be sitting here in two weeks complaining about how we'd beat the Colts if only Fuller caught an INT or Kelce didn't fumble in the red zone, or whatever the fluke play will be this year.

[Reerun_KC]

Mahomes is re-writing history.

Yes sir. I’m ready for the colts!!!

[DenverChief]

Food for thought;

The chargers 4 losses came at home this year - technically the LAR loss was a "road" loss but was played in LA. Vs Denver Vs KC and Vs Baltimore.

[New World Order]

Yeah I do NOT want the Chargers.

They are the most dangerous team for us in the AFC. Very good defense with an elite pass rush. They're offense is pretty good too.

Rooting for the Ravens to win on Sunday.

[Rausch]

I want the Colts and an exorcist on hand...

That Ravens defense is too good and they could run the ball on us, at will, all day long.

The odds Rivers will choke in Arrowhead are damned good.
The odds Rivers will choke in the playoffs are damned good.
Rivers on the road, in the playoffs, at Arrowhead?

I'll take my chances...

[Danguardace]

Best thing for the Chiefs would be the Colts, as good as they have been they are the least proven team in the tournament IMO. Also means Chargers Ravens and Patriots can fight it out among themselves, 2 of those will be gone by time the AFCCG roles around.

[Rausch]

This.

Mahomes can exorcise all demons this season...:)

[arrwheader]

Ravens here. Keep us in mind because we'll meet again soon.

Lamar Jackson is becoming a better passer, far better than he was when we played before. And you were still fortunate to win. Ravens' offense is more balanced now, and you must contend w/more weapons.Obviously your offense can only be slowed, never stopped. Ravens did a good job holding you to 24 in regulation the last time.We have to do that well again.

Our offensive recipe is the same; we have to control the ball and clock against a suspect defense. We almost ran the Browns back to Ohio in the first half of Sunday's game, and they had been shutting down everybody they played.Then we faltered and they got back in the game.We can't let you get close. Above all, Ravens must make sure Mahomes is sitting helplessly on the bench as the game clock runs out.

I think we'll take the Chargers and the Pats.

Then the Ravens are coming to Arrowhead-and they're not bearing flowers.

LOL your team was given every chance to win and they couldn't do it. If the Chiefs face the Ravens at home again in the playoffs that won't happen again.


I do think you beat the Chargers I don't think the Texans beat the Colts so you will play the Pats and I don't see you getting past that one.

[O.city]

Jackson can't make basic NFL throws consistently, but their run game is so good he just has to make 2 or 3 per game at this point.

The issue they'll have with their current offense is the Chargers, Chiefs etc will have seen it 2 times.

[BlackOp]

I'll take my chances...

Rivers has thrown 6 INTs in his last 3 games....he only had 6 the previous 13 games. He looked like shit against the Ravens...put up 181 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs with HFA on line. That was his moment to "will" his team to victory...and had his worst game of the year. Gordon is beat up...their interior run defense inst good.

Here are Rivers' stats from last week 14/24 176 1 td 2 ints...

He's already started his choke job..

I hope the officials are hands off this game...if that's the case, Ravens should beat them.

I think KC having played the Ravens just a few weeks ago is advantageous to the Chiefs. "Wink" Martindale threw every look he had at Mahomes...and have a pretty good idea about their strategy going forward. Ravens were in play-offs or bust mode.

[crayzkirk]

All of the teams seem dangerous given the history of the Chiefs. However, this is not my dad's team nor is it the team that I have grown up with. I would be more comfortable if the defense could do one thing well instead of relying on the mistakes of the other team.

[Halfcan]

LOL your team was given every chance to win and they couldn't do it. If the Chiefs face the Ravens at home again in the playoffs that won't happen again.


I do think you beat the Chargers I don't think the Texans beat the Colts so you will play the Pats and I don't see you getting past that one.

The cheating Pats coming into Arrowhead will be a lot tougher than their last 2 cream puff games at home verse the Bills and Jets.

They got stomped the last time they came here, so the NFL makes us go on the road to play them now.

You mean like lead the NFL in Sacks? :rolleyes:

[3rd&Long]

I like their chances on a 1-1 rematch with the LAC. Colts are peaking at the right time so no thanks there. Same with Baltimore and, as we all know, they gave KC everything they could handle on a narrow Chief's win during the reg season.
Another looming question is, with an advance and the Patties coming in for the AFC champ game, which team prevails? I'd call that one a coin flip at this time.
Getting past their post season choke jobs will result in KC going to that elite level but I'm not so sure they've got it in them. I could be wrong.
Right now, I hope they prove me wrong and go 'bowling in February but I'm not rising my hopes given their sorry post season history over the past many decades.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Colts got Ryan Kelly back today from injury. That OL is so damn good.

It’s probably bad to say, but the best matchup likely depends on who gets most banged up this weekend. Even still, I’m starting to think LAC would be our best opponent. Colts aren’t familiar with KC as much though, and Andy has had the bye week to study up.

Fuck I don’t know.

Colts pass rush is the 2nd worst of the playoff teams in the AFC. They don’t really have a standout rusher.

Mahomes would have a lot of time in the pocket. Patriots pass rush sucks too. Imagine playing 2 bad pass rushing teams to get to the SB.

[crayzkirk]

You mean like lead the NFL in Sacks? :rolleyes:

Yes, that is true. I would expect that a team which leads the league in sacks would also be better in coverage.:eek:

[Chiefnj2]

Chief fans are mighty cocky this postseason. The last six games were losses to the Rams, Chargers and Seahawks. An overtime win against the Ravens and two wins against a 4 win team holding a top 5 draft pick. 1-3 against playoff teams, with that sole victory coming in OT.

This is a great, great point. If Mahomes has time to throw and all of his weapons, good luck stopping them.

The key would be just getting enough out of the run defense to not let the opposition completely ruin the TOP.

Go look at some of the other playoffs teams’ last 6 games and get back to me.

[Best22]

Any team will be tough

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Go look at some of the other playoffs teams’ last 6 games and get back to me.

The Chiefs are getting dogged cause they went 3-3 in their last six, with a 1-3 record against playoff teams, two of which were last minute losses.

The Saints, the team many consider the best in football and the favorites to win the Super Bowl, went 4-2 in their last 6 games, but with an 0-1 record against playoff teams (Dallas). And they barely beat a Steelers team at home that just missed the playoffs.

So, yeah, you'd like the Chiefs to finish better than 3-3 down the stretch but at least they weren't losing to garbage teams or getting blown out by other playoff teams.

I'm not necessarily predicting a Super Bowl run for us (due to the defense), but anyone who thinks the Saints (the favorite) have finished their season demonstrably better than the Chiefs is fooling themselves . . . . . .

What AFC team has been more impressive than the Chiefs?

Colts sured looked good with that 28-27 win over the NYG. Or that shutout loss to Jacksonville.

Oh, so scary. Heck we could do this for every AFC team. Chief fans feel confident because they have the MVP under center. No other playoff team can say that

"You gotta watch out for that Houston team. They did go on that 9-0 run in the middle of the season."

During the last six weeks the Colts, Chargers and Ravens are all arguably playing better than KC.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I’m stealing these stats from Lance Twidwell on Twitter, but this needs to be spread.

Chiefs QBs in the last 6 home playoff games: average 57%, 189 yards with 6 TDs, 4 INTs and a 71 rating.

Those stats are unbelievable in the worst possible way. Mahomes is everything and THE reason why the past has absolutely nothing to do with what is going to take place this year and beyond.

[Best22]

During the last six weeks the Colts, Chargers and Ravens are all arguably playing better than KC.

The Chargers who got punked by Baltimore and barely scraped by Denver and Cincy?

The Colts are in good shape and respectable, but how can we overlook their miserable win over NYG and their horrible shutout loss to Kessler and the Jags?

[Hoopsdoc]

I worry about the Colts because I think we would be gutted by Luck, Ebron, Mack and Hilton, but honestly they are probably like the Chargers with a worse defense. So frankly it doesn't really matter. Just get me to an AFC championship game!

Colts have played a lot of bad quarterbacks this year, courtesy of a last place schedule. A good qb will roast that defense.

They lack a dynamic pass rusher and a shutdown corner. They’ve managed to get around that with a constant mix of stunts on the dline and mixing coverages on the back end but that won’t work in the playoffs.

They’re still a year or two away from being a real threat.

[Chiefer8989]

Colts are by far the worst team of the three teams they could potentially play and there's no way their defense can stop Mahomes. Bring on the Colts.

Correct. But Luck will shred our D. It would be a shootout .

[ptlyon]

Yeah don't kid yourself. That team has the weapons to shred this D. And Luck has played in the postseason before.

[RunKC]

I’m actually more worried about the divisional round game then a potential AFCCG bc the Patriots are easily the worst playoff team that could come to Arrowhead.

I really do believe that if we win our first game next week, we will go to the SB.

[CupidStunt]

During the last six weeks the Colts, Chargers and Ravens are all arguably playing better than KC.

This type of shallow analysis ALWAYS ignores schedule, which is by far the most important thing for basically all teams.

Sure, the Colts are "hot" in their past 6 games. But why? Easy. The last 6 teams they faced:

Dolphins
Texans
Cowboys
Giants
Titans w/ Blaine Gabbert ROFL
Jags w/ Cody Kessler ROFLROFLROFL

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have faced:

Rams
Raiders x2
Ravens
Chargers
Seahawks

I mean come the fuck on. If the Chiefs had faced that schedule they'd be 6-0 winning by an average of 10-15 points. The Colts lost to Cody Kessler while GETTING SHUT OUT (ROFLROFLROFL), and won 3 of those games -- against PATHETIC teams -- by a TOTAL of 7 points.

I mean.

Eh. It's still possible that the Chargers come to KC for the title game. Colts beat Texans, lose to Chiefs. Chargers beat Ravens, beat Pats. LAC come here.

[O.city]

I think the Ravens beat the Chargers and the Colts beat the Texans.

Colts come to Kc, Ravens to NE

NE to KC for the AFC champ. I don't see a Belicheck d losing to a tim Tebow offense.

I don't share RunKC's optimism about NE but the Chiefs would def be favored.

This is my prediction as well and seems most likely to me. Its either that or the Chiefs shit their pants again in the divisional and welp because Chiefs. Feels different this year probably because of mahomes but then again we have this terrible defense that sucks the penis.

[Chiefer8989]

Colts are by far the toughest match up for us. Brady is crap. Rivers is a playoff choker. Jackson is similar to Tebow. Texans are ravaged with injuries.

[Iowanian]

I personally think the worse matchup is Baltimore due to their defense and ability to slow down the game.

What I anticipate happening is Sandy Eggo(they'll always be sandy eggo no matter where they rent a stadium).....will beat them, but given the physical play of Baltimore they'll physically beat up the Chargers.

If the chargers win, coming into Arrowhead is a matchup I'm ok with...it's winnable and at home.

If it ends up being the Colts, I think the Chiefs run them over. Colts have a good Oline but no scary running game and while Luck has been good this year it's not like they're torching people. Their defense isn't going to stop the Chiefs at home.
