But the match-ups are there, and our defense is better this year than it has been in a decade. This is going to be closer than 14 points. I'm thinking something closer to 27-24 as the final score. With that said, if we come that close to winning against them I will be very happy. |

I just hope people don't get some notion that I'm rooting for the Colts...because I am absolutely not going to do so. Not one bit. Guys... I live in Champaign, IL... Every day for the last week (during the day) I have walked up and down campus with a Chiefs shirt on...every Wednesday at my bowling league I sport a Chiefs shirt or jersey... I love the Chiefs. More than anything...even my girlfriend knows where she stands... but I'm going to be realistic about this game in Indy. |

But like I said... all the options...we're turning into a "pick your poison" nightmare for opposing DCs... |

This team is far better at damn near every single position from then and I would have to say that with the exception of PM, the Colts aren't any better at almost any position over their 2007 team. I think you are underestimating our chances in this game. |

At least it will add something fun to the outcome...deal? |

but hey... bet is done... and when I win I probably won't even tough your sig or avatar...because I don't care...but you're trying to act like I never "stand by my claims" which is total bullshit. |

It's pretty easy to stop talking about a rookie TE... Peyton Manning is brought up more on this Chiefs board than Tony Moeaki... I'm not going to stop talking about Peyton Manning...that is just setting me up for something that isn't going to happen. |
and Boss...
I was just starting to gain respect for you and now you think KC is going to go into Indy and win? Wow... I just...wow...can't fathom that level of homerism. That's KnowMo esque. |
seriously...
comparing a 2007 Herm led Chiefs game @ Indy to a 2010 Chiefs game @ Indy is one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever heard. |

what do you mean by "tough your sig or avatar"? Do me a favor, rep this post (neg or pos, I dont care...neg may be easier to find) so I can find it easily find it after the game, will ya? should be fun. |

the false hope our fan base has for this game is going to result in a meltdown on this site of epic proportions...

I may have been the only realist on the board that predicted us to go 10-6 in our season prediction thread...after predicting 4-12 last year and only missing the previous year by one game while predicting 3-13 (albeit on another board cause I wasn't here quite yet).
I think we beat Indy, but lose the following week to Houston. Thats how I see it, I think we match up quite well and have a real good chance at beating them with Romeo getting two weeks to prepare for PM and Charlie getting two weeks to plan how to attack them in a way that lets us succeed. I think When they sell out to stop our running game, Moeaki and DMC win their matchups and Cassel does enough not to lose the game for us.....which will open up the running game and allow us to keep their defense honest. Ill be pissed if you dont choose my sig or avatar if you do win, though. That would be a slap in the face. |
alright we'll see...I'm cheering for you to win more than you can imagine.
|
And to clarify...I predicted 8-8 if Cassel doesnt show up and 10-6 if he improves at a reasonable level throughout the year under Weis. Not great, just reasonable.
Look at the schedule, looks like I nailed that one...so far, anyway. Plenty of time for that to blow up in my face, I guess. |

The problem is that even great running teams need to put the ball in the air at times, and when the Giants did go to the air, they couldn't keep Mathis and Freeny off of Eli Manning. The Donkeys decided that they were going to shoot it out against the Colts, cause you know, Josh McDumbass is a McGenious(cps). I don't think the Colts can stop the Chiefs from running the ball effectively, but like I said, even great running teams have to pass occassionally. The questions then becomes, can Albert and Richardson contain Freeney and Mathis, and if so, can Cassel and the receivers make enough plays to move the chains? I don't think the Chiefs win this game, but I think it will be a much better, and closer, game than I thought it would be before the season started. |

Is Peyton Manning a great QB? Yes he is. But the fact is, the NFL has adjusted and tweaked the rules so much in just the last 12 years that it has made defending a great QB so much more difficult than it was before. The numbers that guys like Johnny Unitas, John Hadl (most underrarted QB ever), Dan Marino, Warren Moon, etc..etc.. would be ridiculous, and they would be every bit as indefensible as Manning is now. It is no coincidense that even average QBs are putting up stupid numbers. |

2 points.
1) Could any of you actually contain the jizz if the Chiefs beat the Colts? I couldn't. Nor could most of the experts, I suspect. And knowing that they'll almost certainly make the playoffs just a month into the season is an unthinkable feeling. 2) 0.5% chance to run for 200 yards is a HORRIBLE number. First, the Colts had more than that dropped on them by Arian "just off the practice squad" Foster. Second, the Chiefs just ran for more than that on a FAR, FAR superior run defense. They're AVERGAGING something like 160ypg. Bottom line, if there's any game this year where you'd pick the Chiefs to do that, it's this game. Charles for 120 and Jones for 80 is NOT out of the question. The Colts are no match for KC's running game whatsoever. They'd have to get a BIG (21+ points) lead for KC not to do much running the ball. |
I'm calling this one a win. My theory is thus:
1. 2 weeks to prepare. We will be rested and fresh. 2. Romeo will have an excellent game plan ready (he knows Manning very well). 3. Their run defense won't intimidate us. We will thud and scamper. 4. Our secondary will see this as an opportunity to end all doubt that they are for real. 5. It's a fast field. We have fast guys. 6. We have the special teams advantage. 7. Before the game, and in the locker room, Haley will guarantee that, if we lose, he will personally kill every player's family. FAX |
1. yes refreshed
2. yes Romeo does know Manning 3. yes we can't be intimidated 4. yes up and coming secondary 5. yes we are fast 6. yes very encouraging ST play to date 7. ye.... wait wha? OMG |

Houston vs Indy -- Houston was up 13-0 in the 2nd and 13-10 at halftime. They got the ball first in the 2nd half and went on an 8 minute, 15 play drive where they ran 13 times to go up 20-13. NYG vs Indy -- Giants got off to an awful start, 24-0 at halftime. Denver vs Indy -- Indy was up 13-0 in the 2nd quarter. Keep it close in the first half... move the pocket, run some screens/draws/quick passes to get the ball in the hands of the play makers to slow down the rush... and don't play catch up in the 2nd half. Just that easy. ;) |

Why not have some hope? They're the underdog, and I'd think even those who think it's a toss-up know that... there shouldn't be any expectations going into this game, so sit back, smile and nod at those who say there's no chance, and if they lose.... oh well. But, if they win... :hmmm: |
It will be a physical game, that's for sure. A true test of Haley's progress toward building a tough team that brings it on every snap.
Manning's decapitated head will look real nice on Romeo's desk. Maybe put it in a light box or one of those neat acrylic showcase deals. FAX |
50-50 .. we b gona rundt da ball .....

Run the hell out of the ball is a good plan. It's keeps the ball out of Mannings hands and Cassel's. If the ball is in either of thier hands it's bad for us.

We are a team of destiny. The Mannings are a team of douches.
Destiny trumps douche every time. Except when you happen to score with the deformed, alcoholic tramp with the lazy eye and unmatched shoes. FAX |

If Manning has time in the pocket to pick us apart = chances are 10-90 |

Hootie's a P Manning ball washer. Not that Peyton doesn't deserve it, but it's not as impossible as he's making it out to be. And No Hootie, no one on this board is going to freak out if we lose on the road to the Colts. Pretty much everyone is expecting us to. |
