next team up
sec

[Mecca]

Guess I'll watch a movie on Sunday Night cause that's gonna suck.

[In58men]

Soft

[siberian khatru]

On the bright side, Sammy Watkins is a go!

[Hammock Parties]

we'll be fine

[Rain Man]

Resting our starters for the playoffs. I like it.

[Marcellus]

Clark finally has a decent game, has 10 days to rest and cant play. :facepalm:

[Jerm]

Sounds like we're punting on this game...getting everyone ready for the home stretch.

I mean I'm sure if it really came down to it, Fisher/Clark/Jones could probably play...let them rest another week and be ready to go along with Pat.

Sucks but it is what it is.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Yeah we’re definitely going down.

As long as they’re healthy when it matters most...

[TribalElder]

They should flex this out of primetime ROFL

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

On the bright side, Sammy Watkins is a go!

He didn't mention Sammy, because it's assumed. He only gets announcements when he PLAYS.

[Mecca]

I've had enough of this Frank Clark shit, he spends the whole year sucking ass, finally looks fine and now he can't go after extra time off.

Seriously have to question if there is a softness about this team.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

Looks like I'll be in bed early.

[Lzen]

Why is Clark out? Didn't he play all of the last game? :spock:

[carcosa]

I see Showtime is starting his useless doomsday moaning early this week

[Mecca]

Why is Clark out? Didn't he play all of the last game? :spock:

Apparently he has a neck injury, watch as in 2 weeks he's placed on IR and quietly has his elbows fixed.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He played with bad elbows all last year. Missed only 2 games in his first 4 seasons.

I highly doubt this is a toughness issue. Neck injuries aren’t to be fucked with.

Would you rather him risk the season now for a rather meaningless game or hopefully be there when it really matters?

[Fish]

Yuck...

[big nasty kcnut]

We got this so nut up or shut up time for a chiefs win.

[The Franchise]

I’ll watch because I won’t be expecting a win.

All I'm going to say is teams that have a 1st round bye make the Superbowl at a rate 7 times higher......

It's not just about sneaking into the playoffs.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Totally get that. I’ve been saying all week that I really want that bye. Think 11-5 would make it doable.

But if your studs aren’t healthy come playoff time, it means absolutely nothing.

All the other 3/4 seeds we normally see don’t have a Patrick Mahomes.

There’s a reason that Rodgers’ Packers were able to win a Super Bowl as a 6 seed.

[Red Dawg]

Forget it. GB ain't Denver.

[Kman34]

The white flag has been raised for this game.. if it was a playoff game I bet all would play.. The tell tale sign the Clark injury is serious is if we are active looking for a pass rusher at the trade deadline.. otherwise I’m not worried..

If you crunch those numbers...

Seeds

1. 54%
2. 25%
3. 4%
4. 13%
5. 2%
6. 4%

A team with a first round bye is 7.3x more likely to make the superbowl than a team without.

1 seed is roughly 2.1x more likely to make it than the 2 seed.

2 seed is 4.7x more likely to make it than the 3-6.

So anyone who talks about divisional lead is fooling themselves. If your goal is to make the playoffs and lose talk about that. And it likely requires 12 wins to get a bye because Houston is one of the teams and well we lost to them.

[CoMoChief]

Clark finally has a decent game, has 10 days to rest and cant play. :facepalm:

no shit :banghead:

[Jerm]

I might have to tune into GB's postgame show if they lose this one to us LOL....

Wait, thought he sucked this year BECAUSE he’s elbows are shit?!

[ILChief]

Every year we have injuries out the ass

[Mecca]

Apparently the Chiefs traded for and paid a guy who really is a broke dick.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I don’t even know how we win this one unless the defense goes all 85 Bears

The AFC South winner is going to be 11-5 at best. If KC has the same record, you cross your fingers that Baltimore does too. Very possible.

Regardless, all these stats you speak of kinda go out the window when Mahomes is the QB. It’s a total difference maker because you’re talking about a 1/2 seed caliber team that just happens to not get it due to injury.

They’ll be that team that no one wants to play so long as they have their studs.

[OKchiefs]

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

If the AFC South winner has the same record as us then they are the #2 seed

There were plenty of outstanding QB's calculated into that data, it's not like they didn't exist for the past 50 years.

And before anyone asks the reason the 4th seed number is higher is because it mainly comes before divisional realignment, that use to always be the best non division winner.

[TRR]

Might as well treat this one as a bye week. Not sure why Watkins or Lee would play. I’d limit Tyreek’s snaps as well. You’ll have the Vikings coming in off 10 days rest.

I still question this training/medical staff. Way too many injuries year after year after year.

This one is going to get U G L Y.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Frank Clark out? Wtf? He looked pretty damn good last week. What the hell did he get hurt in practice or something?

None of the stuff you are talking about matters if they don’t have their best players for the playoffs. Regardless of seeding.

That is priority #1.

Yup. This is the equivalent of what they do in the NBA when there's a back to back against a very good team late in the season.

There’s a reason that Rodgers’ Packers were able to win a Super Bowl as a 6 seed.I think we need 12-4 to get the #2 seed due to the tie breakers. We take this ass whupping this Sunday and then have to go 7-1 the rest of the way.

[Mecca]

What it basically says is that in the history of the NFL, the 1 or 2 is going to the bowl at much higher rate than any other team.

Trying to be the outlier is never a great idea.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Animals are most dangerous when injured!

We're gonna push their shit in hard

[Gravedigger]

Still going to the game, still going to cheer, chop and yell obscenities. CANT STOP WONT STOP!

[BigRedChief]

Another Lthry looked pretty beatable to me last night.

[Stryker]

Aaron Rodgers is licking his lips. He gets 6 TD's (or more) in this one as well. :shake:

[comochiefsfan]

If there was any minuscule chance that Mahomes was going to play on Sunday night, then Fisher and Wylie both being out definitely sealed him sitting.

[Mecca]

thry looked pretty beatable to me last night.

The problem is they're a god awful matchup for us.

They will literally run the ball every single play if you don't stop it.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Well then pretty much every playoff team is a bad matchup for us. Gotta be able to stop the run to win against good teams in this league

[Red Dawg]

3rd home loss coming up. We really should have not fucked up the Indy and Houston games. Forget a bye week. Division champ is now all we can get.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

You fucks wave the white flag way too easy ROFL JFC

[comochiefsfan]

Eh Rankin is better than Wylie

I mean the bigger loss is obviously Fisher.

Bottom line being you’re not going to bring back a gimpy quarterback with two starting o linemen out.

[RunKC]

All I'm going to say is teams that have a 1st round bye make the Superbowl at a rate 7 times higher......

It's not just about sneaking into the playoffs.

If we can go 1-1 through the next 2, this is our remaining schedule:

Titans
Chargers 2x
Broncos
Raiders
Patriots
Bears

The Patriots are the only team that has a winning record. The rest should not be hard games.

[Mecca]

Well then pretty much every playoff team is a bad matchup for us. Gotta be able to stop the run to win against good teams in this league

But their RB is a legit top 5 dude at his position. They're gonna play defense and run the ball. It's basically not something we really want to see.

[kcxiv]

if there is a time for guy sto be out, i guess right now better then later. Moore Vs Rodgers was going to get ugly for us regardless.

[Pitt Gorilla]

3rd home loss coming up. We really should have not ****ed up the Indy and Houston games. Forget a bye week. Division champ is now all we can get.

Wow, if only we had known, we probably would have decided to win those games.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

A lot of dumbfucks come out after losses of ANY kind

[comochiefsfan]

Dumb.

This might be the last game we lose until New England and it’s definitely the last scary game on the schedule besides New England.

Look at the back half of our schedule and tell me who makes you nervous.

The Faid? Derek Carr has never played well in Arrowhead.

The Bears? Not with Turdbisky at QB.

This team still has a great shot at 12-4 and should be 11-5 at minimum.

[Hammock Parties]

The only thing that’ll make those games losable would be injuries. We should absolutely steamroll every one of those sorry ass teams IF we’re healthy.

[old_geezer]

I can't decide if I want to watch The Walking Dead or the Chiefs game on Sunday night.....Oh wait, nevermind......what's the difference? :shrug:

[comochiefsfan]

But their RB is a legit top 5 dude at his position. They're gonna play defense and run the ball. It's basically not something we really want to see.

Put 8 in the damn box and make Cousins beat you. If we get beat because Cousins is dropping bombs on us then so be it. But we absolutely cannot tolerate letting Dalvin Cook run the ball for 3/4 of the game. The offense has to have a chance.

[Frazod]

Ouch.

I fear this is going to be like the faculty/student rugby game from Meaning of Life. :spank:

[pugsnotdrugs19]

NFC games are the most meaningless on the schedule in terms of tiebreakers and all that.

If we had to have a bunch of injuries, especially Mahomes, this was the perfect time.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

As for Green Bay, we probably weren’t going to get to Rodgers much anyways.

Have to stop the run and see what happens.

Also if you go watch their film breakdown. They scheme to get their RB's matched up against the opponents worst cover backer, they do it a lot.

This is basically a disaster for our defense as that is one of the biggest weaknesses we have.

I'll be watching and hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Honestly, even with just Mahomes out, this was going to be a tough game. All of the additional injuries make it even more difficult, but we've beat really good teams with a worse group of players before.

If you crunch those numbers...

So anyone who talks about divisional lead is fooling themselves. If your goal is to make the playoffs and lose talk about that. And it likely requires 12 wins to get a bye because Houston is one of the teams and well we lost to them.

How bad do the Pats skew those numbers I wonder?

How do you become the number 1 or 2 seed? By havibg the most wins and how do you get the most wins? Most of the time its because you're the best team, so if the best teams are the ones getting the bye week, then wouldn't it be safe to assume that the number 1 or 2 seeds would win a large majority of the SBs, since they are the best teams?

How bad is this really?

Jones being out may not be that bad? That means our run defense will be better. More reps for Mile Pennel. We may not get a good push or pressure from the inside though. Most the pressure will have to come from the edges.

Clark isn’t playing all that well. Ok so KPass and Ogbah get more reps which is good. Both have been playing well.

What else? Wylie? Pffft please. Were better off with either Rankins or Wisniewski. Fuller? He’s playing like shit anyways; not much to lose there but possibly more to gain with Fenton.

Ok the significant losses are Mahomes and Fisher.

Mahomes being #1 obviously. But lets see how Matt Moore plays with more reps. We may need to change our blocking schemes without Fisher. Those are the only two real significant losses here imo.

Don’t give up so soon or get easily discouraged because of the injury status of our team. You never know? Any given Sunday right? Let the guys play, weigh things out as the game goes along and then judge afterwards. Don’t anticipate too soon!

Jones being out is a huuuuge deal. The Packers ain’t coming in running the colts O. Not having a interior pass rush will be a big deal.
Clark is a big loss in the big picture.
The other thing is fuller has been decent but so has Fenton. Big drop off? Maybe not but you lose a corner during the game and it’s a big problem.
It is what is. We are going to have on the road in this season and that’s fine.

I kind of have to agree. We aren't winning this game which is fine.


If they somehow pull out a miracle it would be great but it would take one.


Davante Adams being out helps though.

[Kman34]

Ugh! This wouldn't be such a big deal if they hadn't shit the bed against the Colts and Texans. No way they win this one. Not with that many starters(including Mahomes) out against the Packers.

I'm still thinking Andy will make it a close game with some trickery for Matty Ballgame..
I give us a 45% chance of winning...

[dlphg9]

How bad is this really?

Jones being out may not be that bad? That means our run defense will be better. More reps for Mile Pennel. We may not get a good push or pressure from the inside though. Most the pressure will have to come from the edges.

Clark isn’t playing all that well. Ok so KPass and Ogbah get more reps which is good. Both have been playing well.

What else? Wylie? Pffft please. Were better off with either Rankins or Wisniewski. Fuller? He’s playing like shit anyways; not much to lose there but possibly more to gain with Fenton.

Ok the significant losses are Mahomes and Fisher.

Mahomes being #1 obviously. But lets see how Matt Moore plays with more reps. We may need to change our blocking schemes without Fisher. Those are the only two real significant losses here imo.

Don’t give up so soon or get easily discouraged because of the injury status of our team. You never know? Any given Sunday right? Let the guys play, weigh things out as the game goes along and then judge afterwards. Don’t anticipate too soon!

The only significant losses are Fisher and Mahomes? Do you evem read what you write most of the time? Missing Jones is more significant than Fisher. We need to be able to get to the QB without blitzing and ypure gonna say missing the 2nd best pass rushing interior d lineman is a good thing? I have my doubts sbout Frank Clark, but if last week was him breaking out (I doubt that is the case, but let's hope), then missing him is more significant than Fisher. The O line has been decent recently. Hell Matt Moore was only sacked 1 time in almost 20 pass attempts.

[Megatron96]

Sheesh, the doom and gloom is kind of ridiculous.

Not saying the Chiefs are a lock to win this Sunday, but seriously it's not like the Chiefs are at some insurmountable disadvantage here.

We're at home.

Andy's had 3-4 extra days to prepare knowing his QB is Moore. And Andy always has a great game plan when he has extra days to get ready.

Andy is the best QB whisperer in the business.

Moore is a veteran QB that has beaten some of the best defenses in the league in his career.

Hill, Kelce, Shady, Watkins, Mecole, DRob, and Pringle will all be on the field.

Rankins is playing well at LG.

The Packers defense is almost as bad as the Chiefs defense against the run and against fast athletic TEs. Two rookie TEs just had back-to-back 100+ yard games and multiple TDs against the Packers.

At worst, this game is basically a coin toss, so long as our defense plays with the same focus and intensity that they played with on Thursday. Against Rodgers, that's not bad.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

We are 3.5 point dogs, not 35. Football fans are such morons.

[jjchieffan]

I don't know if I've ever seen a regular season game(other than week 17 with nothing to play for), where our entire inactive list was made up of regular starters. I mean, that's a lot of backups being thrown into the starting lineup.

This is the issue. Even if they do, remember that this is Rodgers, not Flacco. If the defense holds them under 20, I'd be shocked.

[CaliforniaChief]

Remember when the Lions were dealing with injuries in the secondary and Mahomes was coming to a dome and gonna put up 1,000 yards and 10 TD's? Didn't happen.

Most of the time in the NFL the obvious storyline ends up not happening.

[burt]

we'll be fine

Would you rather him risk the season now for a rather meaningless game or hopefully be there when it really matters?

Just got a really bad case of deja vu just now...

Haglund Hobo's spirit is alive and well in this locker room...

[Megatron96]

This is the issue. Even if they do, remember that this is Rodgers, not Flacco. If the defense holds them under 20, I'd be shocked.

Honestly, I'll be shocked if they hold Aaron to under 30. Aaron is an all-time elite QB that finally has a running game. But he might be missing his best WR on Sunday. And there's a chance that some of the Packers best defensive players won't play either. Sauce for the goose.

But if the Chiefs can hold the Packers to 30 or less, I think the Chiefs can be competitive; maybe even win this game. Yeah, some luck will probably be involved in that, but it's not crazy to think our defense can get a little lucky and play really solid football, and keep the Packers down to say 26-28 points.

Fuck it. Chiefs are winning this game by 10 plus

[Naptown Chief]

Fuck it. Chiefs are winning this game by 10 plus

Chiefs win 45-10.. I've stated this.

[lcarus]

Not to mention weve won a ton of home games against great opponents with pure dog shit game managers at QB. You know...the years and years before Pat not counting Joe or Trent

[FloridaMan88]

Andy Reid coming off a mini-bye week.

Green Bay with a first year HC coming off a big win this past weekend and decided to have an abbreviated practice on Wednesday this week.

Matt Moore is a veteran QB with a full week of first team reps and an Andy Reid-created gameplan for him.

I think the Chiefs will surprise in this game.

[ptlyon]

Line went to 4 according to the score

[ARROW2]

The only new players we are missing is Clark and Mahomes but we DO get Sammy back. Just play aggressive on D like last week and play Alex Smith ball and we can win.

[Why Not?]

NFL. Unless you have a totally garbage roster or a totally garbage coach(neither of which describes the Chiefs)any team is capable of winning any week. Should the Packers be favored? Yes. Will they win the game? Probably. But some people are acting like it’s Rolla Community College at Alabama.

[Chris Meck]

I'm telling you. We're going to win.

[ptlyon]

I believe in Chris

[FloridaMan88]

The Chiefs are putting a veteran QB who has had success in this league into a Ferrari of an offense with its full compliment of playmakers and the schematic genius of Andy Reid.

[lcarus]

I'm telling you. We're going to win.

I'm with you too

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Morons on twatter saying we lose by 30 plus. Football fans are dumb sumbitches

[TRR]

I'm with you too

I love the optimism, and I’m generally optimistic most of the time. But missing Mahomes plus five additional starters against a GB team that’s been getting better week by week is too much to overcome. KC hasn’t been particularly good at home either.

Rodgers will have the KC defense off balance all evening, and Moore won’t be able to keep up. He just doesn’t have enough reps with the ones to keep up with a Rodgers led offense. And he’s simply not very good either. Competent maybe. Our only chance is a career rushing day from KC...keeping Rodgers on the sidelines for much of the game. The GB Defense is quite improved as well...especially their pass rush.

[stevieray]

I'm telling you. We're going to win.

We are definitely due for a home win.

[Why Not?]

a GB team that’s been getting better week by week is too much to overcome.

That team needed multiple bad calls to beat Detroit at home two weeks ago.

[Ribbs67]

Praying for the 2nd KC miracle in 10 days... ��

[DTVietnam]

i like this move...

we werent winning anyway..theyre not in the AFC
basically creating an extra bye week for guys banged up. .

[DTVietnam]

That team needed multiple bad calls to beat Detroit at home two weeks ago.

if I recall the Chiefs needed multiple bad calls and luck to beat Detroit as well. .

Detroit is a good team

[New World Order]

I'll take 5-3 through the first half of the season with how banged up we've been.

Our Pro Bowl LT has been out pretty much the entire year

Our superstar QB has had a bum ankle since week 1

Tyreek missed the first 5 games.

Our best pass rusher is going to miss his third straight game

Sammy has missed 3 games

Clark and Fuller are out this week

That's a TON to overcome and we're still in a good spot to win our division and get healthy going into the playoffs.

[BossChief]

What am I missing that Vegas knows?

How are they only favored by 4.5 on bovada?

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

This string of blue teams, just brings this team down. Time for a 2 game break

[Iconic]

byes and hfa have done jack shit so far for reid. i really don't give a single **** about either. rest mahomes up and make sure he's healthy, then get into the playoffs. that's all that matters. i mean ****, a giants team that played wild card weekend is what took down the 16-0 pats.

Defense again plays with energy in front of a raucous crowd.

With Watkins back and a full complement of weapons, Moore will always have an open target to throw to. Reid will create a conservative plan that sees him inch his way down the field efficiently. The lack of explosiveness actually benefits them by increasing our TOP and keeping Rodgers off the field.

[PAChiefsGuy]

What am I missing that Vegas knows?

How are they only favored by 4.5 on bovada?

It is respect for the Reid and the extra time he has had to prepare and the fact we are at home but either way I see Packers winning by at least 7

Vegas makes stupid lines from time to time and this is probably one of them..

[Why Not?]

if I recall the Chiefs needed multiple bad calls and luck to beat Detroit as well. .

Detroit is a good team

Sure but that’s not the point. He stated that the Packers are getting better week by week and I pointed out that just two weeks ago, at home, the Packers got bailed out by the Refs. Also, before we anoint the Lions as some great team, let’s point out that they blew an 18 pt fourth quarter lead to a rookie QB and rookie coach on both of their first games. And the Lions got smoked at home by a Vikings team who got all they could handle from Dwayne Haskins and his squad. See, we could do this all day which leads to my overall point from earlier in the thread, where I simply stated....NFL. Teams look different week to week and play differently based on a number of factors. The guys in the desert have this as a one possession game. Any number of things could occur to change or influence that one possession. Again, I think the Packers more than likely win the game. I think there’s a decent probability they kick the shit out of us. But the Chiefs will still trot out an NFL team on Sunday night. And NFL teams are always capable of beating other NFL teams.

[lcarus]

if I recall the Chiefs needed multiple bad calls and luck to beat Detroit as well. .

Detroit is a good team

That was a game that had a lot of big swings on close calls but I don't recall multiple bad calls.

Everything was the fault of Golladay not controlling a pass in the back of the end zone followed by Stafford just straight up dropping the ball and then their RB fumbling at the 1 inch line trying to reach the ball over the goal line.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Yes. And Stafford fumbled on the 5 lol. Guess we should count our blessings after the rough October. It could be worse.

[TimeForWasp]

I think we win.

[TwistedChief]

I respect those of you who think we might actually win, but I respect the hallucinogens you are on just a little bit more.

I'm usually one of the biggest Chiefs homers on here. And I booked my travel and bought my tickets to the GB game *after* we beat Denver even though I knew Mahomes wouldn't be playing. So it's not like I'm some unsupportive fan who gets off on being negative.

But this seems insurmountable. Putting the Denver game to the side, we didn't look good in the second half of the Ravens game, the entire Lions game, the entire Colts game, and the entire Texans game. Was our performance at Denver more representative of who we really are? Or was it the 14 quarters that preceded it?

Don't get me wrong - with all of those injured starters, we would beat GB. Handily. I'd even say we'd beat them if Mahomes were playing. But it's not realistic to have high expectations given the missing players. So I'm just going to enjoy whatever comes and yell loud and support a short-handed team.

[Baby Lee]

Chiefs fan psyche reminds me of 'finals week panic'

OK, . . . I'll just rest my eyes for a couple hours, then I'll be fresh to tackle . . . [checks clock, checks syllabus] . . . 1 chapter of the textbook per hour. That'll give me 20 minutes to mainline coffee, then catch the Metrolink to the final. I GOT THIS!!!

Oh dang it. I haven't had my coffee yet. Not thinking straight...

People, not robots. Go Chiefs. Even the worst players are the simply the good players instead of the great ones.

[Chiefs Moon]

High probability the Chiefs lose and by multiple scores. What matters is Frank Clark's health. His neck has been a recurring problem. If it's a bulging disc, we're screwed.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Rankins is playing well at LG.

At worst, this game is basically a coin toss, so long as our defense plays with the same focus and intensity that they played with on Thursday. Against Rodgers, that's not bad.

HELL YES KWEEN!!!!!!!

Guy has one good game against arguably the worst O line in the league(outside of Cincinnati)and all of a sudden, we’re screwed without him?

[old_geezer]

After mulling it over I would be surprised to see any of these players on the field next week also. I don't think Andy gives a hairy rat's butt about his over all record at this point. He wants his team healthy for the upcoming back to back games against the Chargers and Raiders. If he wins those two games he can pretty well coast into the playoffs as the AFC West champs. :shrug:

[Chris Meck]

For those who think we win...

Paint me that picture. What happens to get KC to 6-2? Gonna be a real bitch.

The run defense is not a mirage. GB is unable to get any sustained success on the ground.

GB's WR corps is banged up.

Rodgers likes to hold the ball, buy time, and chuck it deep.

Thornhill has been playing better each week. Along with Ward, Breeland, Claiborne and Fenton they are up to the task of covering this batch of receivers downfield in a mix of zone and man looks.

Nnadi and Saunders continue eating double teams inside, and Pennel can spell either, keeping fresh legs inside, allowing the LB'ers to flow downhil.

Okafor and Ogbah have played well; Kpass too. They won't get 9 sacks, but I think they'll get 3 with a mix of occasional inside blitzing. Ogbah will knock a couple of passes down.

It'll be enough to keep GB at 20 or under.

Matt Moore will lead a more classic version of the West Coast offense, with a balanced approach, a lot of slants, short outs to Kelce, and WR screens to Tyreek spreading the defense horizontally. Shady and Darrel pounding the rock some, and a bomb or two to Hill/Hardman off of play-action.

Yes, they have Rodgers, but we still have more offensive weaponry. If Moore is reasonably efficient, we can win this game.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Great post Meck.

#1 priority is definitely bottling up their run game. I trust our safeties to limit explosive pass plays if we can stay in reasonable D&D situations.

Moore has to be Alex Smith on a good day, probably.

[chiefzilla1501]

Trust in Andy Reid. We are a long shot. But we will be playing out hearts out and we will have a terrific gameplan.

Moore DOES have to be Smith on a good day, and I see no reason why he won't. A mini-bye week for Andy to get him comfortable, and a ton of weapons. Moore NEVER had anything like this system OR this personnel before.

I expect him to play well. Not Mahomes well, obviously, but well.

Not even Alex Smith. He can be chase Daniel or mitch Trubisky. If you run enough pre snap gadgetry you can creatively catch gb off guard for a very short time. Maybe just enough to get us some good early drives to give us a shot.

Love the optimism but I think looking at this game objectively Packers should easily win. Matt Moore outgunning Rodgers, who is going against a banged up mediocre at best Chiefs D on national TV is a little far fetched.

Aaron Rodgers is a nobody. Never had an impressive QB performance in his life.. Matt Moore will mollywop him (with his penis named Excalibur) on live TV!

[YontsRBake]

We basically have a chance this week to do exactly what the Colts did to us a few weeks ago, playing a similar role in a similar situation.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Apparently Blake Martinez has been downgraded to questionable... NFL leading tackler right now

[FloridaMan88]

A banged up Philadelphia team beat Green Bay in Lambeau on a Thursday night/short week earlier this season.

[Megatron96]

The Packers defense:

Total yards allowed/game - 381 ya/g, 26th in the NFL

Passing yards allowed/game - 252 ya/g, 21st

Rushing yards allowed/game - 129 ya/g, 24th

Points allowed/game - 19.9 pa/g, 9th

Chiefs defense:

Total yards allowed/game - 377 ya/g, 24th

Passing yards/game - 228.6 ya/g, 10th

Rushing yards allowed/game - 148.9 ya/g, 29th

Points allowed/game - 21.4 pa/g, 13th

Their defense isn't much better than the Chiefs defense to this point. In fact, the Chiefs defense has been better than theirs in total yards allowed, passing yards allowed, and the Chiefs defense is only giving up 1.5 points/game more than the Packers defense. In terms of rushing defense, their defense is only 19 yards/game better than ours.


The Chiefs, with Hill, Kelce, Shady, Watkins, Mecole and crew will be able to move the ball and score points on the Packers defense. Especially when you consider that the Packers have allowed 100+ yard multi-TD games against back-to-back rookie TEs. Kelce should be able to exploit their bad LB coverage play and have a big day. I mean, if Derek Carr could do it . . .

As for our defense, we'll be missing Jones and Clark, but the front-7 has performed fairly well without Jones through a game and a half, and most people of the forum believe that Clark has been less-than-average the entire season, so not having him on the field is insignificant.

Unless Rodgers has another historic day (the odds are against that), the Chiefs should be competitive on Sunday night.

The Packers defense:

Total yards allowed/game - 381 ya/g, 26th in the NFL

Passing yards allowed/game - 252 ya/g, 21st

Rushing yards allowed/game - 129 ya/g, 24th

Points allowed/game - 19.9 pa/g, 9th

Chiefs defense:

Total yards allowed/game - 377 ya/g, 24th

Passing yards/game - 228.6 ya/g, 10th

Rushing yards allowed/game - 148.9 ya/g, 29th

Points allowed/game - 21.4 pa/g, 13th

Their defense isn't much better than the Chiefs defense to this point. In fact, the Chiefs defense has been better than theirs in total yards allowed, passing yards allowed, and the Chiefs defense is only giving up 1.5 points/game more than the Packers defense. In terms of rushing defense, their defense is only 19 yards/game better than ours.


The Chiefs, with Hill, Kelce, Shady, Watkins, Mecole and crew will be able to move the ball and score points on the Packers defense. Especially when you consider that the Packers have allowed 100+ yard multi-TD games against back-to-back rookie TEs. Kelce should be able to exploit their bad LB coverage play and have a big day. I mean, if Derek Carr could do it . . .

Philadelphia had almost 500 yards of total offense against Green Bay.
