V.J. sounds like he knows what's coming. The reporters asking questions sound clueless.

Might as well be. They lose this and they're two games down. Will be tough to recover.

They haven't beat us in 3 years, no way they start this Monday with Mahomes slinging it and their pass defense being trash.

Also Kelce has put up over 100 yards in damn near every game he has played against Denver.

Dumbshit Denver Post columnist Mark Kiszla at it again, competing with Pete Prisco for the title of worst sports "columnist" (using the term lightly).

Kiszla must be bitter over the fact that he can do no better in life than being a sports columnist in a third rate sports town such as Denver, Colorado... a completely irrelevant, loser sports town other than the Broncos.

Kiszla: Needing signature win, Broncos coach Vance Joseph must ask tough question: Are Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs soft?

When punched in the mouth, does Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bleed?

Let’s find out. How else are we going to know if the defensive reputations of Denver coaches Vance Joseph and Joe Woods are worth more than the paper their resumes are printed on? With Kansas City coach Andy Reid and his offensive scheme blowing up scoreboards throughout the NFL, are the Broncos bold enough to tell “Showtime” Mahomes: Not in our house!

In his 20th game as Denver coach, Vance Joseph desperately needs a signature victory to win the faith of Broncos Country. Here’s his chance: Beat the Chiefs.

“They’re averaging almost 400 yards and 40 points a game. The quarterback is playing at a high level. Along with Reid’s system, it’s going to be difficult for us to get them stopped,” Joseph said Wednesday. “We’re looking forward to the challenge, but being a six-point underdog, I’m not surprised. They’ve won the last three times in Denver. They’ve beaten the Broncos five straight times. I’m not surprised they’re favored. That means nothing.”

As Joseph spoke, it was impossible not to notice his anxiety. His comments were punctuated with tension. Joseph was uncommonly uptight, resembling the rookie head coach of 2017 who often seemed as if the job was too big for him.

Perhaps there was anxiety for good reason. Mahomes is a star on the rise, spinning the football as if his next stop after 15 years as the quarterback in K.C. will be Canton, Ohio.

But, in this situation, what would Wade Phillips do?

That Son of Bum would attack the quarterback. A confident defensive game plan would aggressively get after Mahomes, in much the same manner the Broncos stalked Cam Newton until he cracked in Super Bowl 50.

Don’t get it wrong. This is not a call to violence against Mahomes. That would be foolish at a time when NFL officials throw a penalty flag when so much as a single bubble of wrap is popped by any defender who falls on the quarterback.

But let me say this, with all due respect: The Chiefs are soft.

OK, maybe that’s smart way to play football in 2018, at a time when everybody from Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews have questioned whether the league has gone soft with an obsession to protect the quarterback. “You just want us to two-hand touch him or what?” Houston defensive end J.J. Watt said.

What I want is the Broncos get after Mahomes with as many speed rushers as possible, because if this Denver defensive backfield sits back and plays soft against the Chiefs, it will get eaten alive. Four sacks in three games make it appear as if Kansas City is doing a good job of protecting Mahomes. But he has been hit 20 times. Von Miller, Bradley Chubb and the gang can get to him.

The Kansas City offense is as fun as fireworks. What’s more, at age 60, Reid has brought spread-offense innovation to a league that refused to believe all that track-meet-on-turf college stuff would work at the pro level.

But we have seen these Chiefs before around here. They were called the 2013 Broncos. Peyton Manning and his offensive teammates put up Star Wars numbers, winning by video-game scores of 49-27 and 51-48, daring anybody to stop them. Guess what? In Super Bowl XLVIII the Seahawks did, bursting the Broncos’ bubble with a one-two punch from iron fists.

“Showtime” Mahomes is now the odds-on favorite to be named MVP. After only three games? Are you kidding me?

Yes, Mahomes’ 13 TD passes and 137.4 QB rating are very Manning-esque. Consider this a mea culpa for being unimpressed with Mahomes when the Chiefs traded up to take him No. 10 overall in the 2017 NFL draft.

So pardon this irreverent question, but I also have a sneaking suspicion: Are the Chiefs soft?

In the defensive game plan being installed by Denver, we will discover if Joseph and Woods are the strong and confident coaches to aggressively seek an answer.

If Joseph and Woods back down and play it safe now, they might as well start looking for their next NFL jobs

Carr is the softest QB in the league but he broke a record for completion percentage in mile high

Yeah, but that big guy from Texas with 13 TD and huge balls is gonna get scared of an old dude named Von Miller

ROFL

The 49ers said exactly the same thing last week. How did that work for them?

With their defense blown apart and their QB's knee shredded to pieces.

Please post kislas post game column

Even Bronco fans are calling him out

He already got a GWD with Von Miller in his face, so funny to see a complete melt when the supposed "kid" turns into a beast!

That article sounds like a call to action for more cheap shots against Mahomes. Steelers did it and so did Foster of the 49ers.

We can probably expect the dirty cheating Donks to get at least 2 cheapshot flags this game.

How does Kiszla work for a professional newspaper? That’s nothing more than fan blog garbage what he wrote.

LMAO

Sweet

If Horseface’s franchise had any backbone, they’d revoke Kiszla’s press credential for advocating violence against an opposing team’s player.

If they had any backbone they woulda fired radio at the end of last season. Guy is a garbage coach! Glad they kept him around!
