That was a sad way for Trent Green to go out.

last time i remember having the early game on Wild-Card Sat, we beat Pit in OT.

just sayin'.

Your memory is pretty poor then - we had the early Saturday game against the Colts in 2006.

really??

I remember it being dark...like, super dark.

wasn't that the game that was 16-8 for most of it, one score game until the third qtr, when Herm and Solari kept trying to run the ball with that loser Larry johnson, who had chosen that exact moment to hit the ****ing wall??

yeah I don't remember that at all.

that game was an abortion anyway.

And Dex and Avery.

How old is he? I got into football in '77, when I was 8 and the Cowboys won it all. My stepdad was a die-hard Cowboys fan and the Chiefs were terrible back then. I shifted my allegiance in the early 80s when Marv Levy started to make some noise.

:thumb:

Lets hope Ales doesn't quit like he did last game. Hopefully someone on the chiefs knows Indie sucks against the run.

Your game is on right before the Eagles game, so I'm going to watch every second to see how Andy Reid does in his first playoff game with another team.

One of my biggest issues with Andy Reid was that his even keel personality hurt the Eagles in playoff games. Never get too high or to low, caused the team to lack that "edge" in playoff games. That is just theoretical. Obviously, I can't prove the mindset of the players.

I thought he coached very conservatively in playoff games, and the players were tight. That could be a number of reasons. The Eagles lost 3 straight NFC Championship Games and when you keep losing, it kind of snowballs and adds tension to a situation that is already pressure packed.

Andy Reid's worst coached game in his career in my opinion, was a playoff game against the Saints several years ago. That one still haunts me, and he made some ridiculous decisions that I thought really helped the Saints.

This is a new team though, that hasn't won a playoff game in a long time, so I suspect they'll be pretty hungry and play a tough game for their new coach.

Should be a good matchup. I look forward to watching. I hope the Chiefs get out of there with a W.

Not Dex, he's a mudder

@AdamSchefter: RT @mortreport: Bucs reach deal w Jeff Tedford as OC. Source:Chiefs director of personnel Chris Ballard is leading candidate as next Bucs GM

Florida bastards need to just keep their hands to themselves. :cuss:

I hope that our defense & special teams can get some points on the board. I think that's the key to a playoff run for us.

Hali might be out-that sucks!

where the **** you hear this bullshit??

He's 4, but he has literally no interest in any other sports right now but football. Only watches about a quarter of it with me, but when people ask him who he likes he says Eric Berry and the Chiefs.

Yep, those are the key guys. Bowe will be a decoy while Avery goes off on his old team.

Any news on Hali other than half wits post?

Just did a Google search and everything recent says held out of practice, but expected to play Saturday. He'll be playing, and I'd put $$$ on it.

I missed the regular season match up due to travel, but just caught the NFL replay version. My concerns:

1. Brandon Albert has to neutralize Mathis. Mathis is having a monster year, so his performance against the Chiefs wasn't some kind of one day fluke. Alex doesn't do well in a dirty pocket.
2. Luck is Manning-like in his ability to neutralize a pass rush. We got good pressure a few times, but Luck handled it. When we did sack him, he didn't lose his cool. Good feet, quick release, sees the field, plus he is tougher to bring down than Manning. We aren't going to see a Luck melt down. Which leaves...
3. Our exposed secondary. There are structural weaknesses here that aren't going to change without different personnel. Luck is going to exploit them. He'll get his 250+ yards.
4. The Colts offense is designed to limit turnovers (13 on the season). We aren't likely to have a significant advantage in turnovers.
5. If it comes down to the last possession of each team, I'll take the better QB. He will also have the refs on his side. Big advantage Colts.

So how do we win?

We have to contain their running game. If we don't, gameover. We must neutralize Mathis. If we don't, gameover. If we achieve both of these, I still expect Luck to win the battle against our defense. We need an advantage to over come Luck. Obviously Jamaal Charles will have to have a big game. Smith will have to manage the heck out of the game.

We aren't their yet. We still need a small miracle. We need our last drive to be better than their last drive. Or we need a late and decisive turnover. Or a couple of scores on defense and/or special teams. Or one of those games where every thing goes our way (when is the last time that happened against a quality opponent on the road?).

We can win, but I don't feel good about it. 2-5 down the stretch makes the odds even longer.

In happier news:

I thank Eric Fisher and friends.

I had a dream about the Indy game...

We won!

So no point watching it now - done deal. In fact the NFL might as well give us a bye into the next round...

Hail didn't even practice this week.

Should I be worried?

I heard an interesting stat on the radio this morning:

The Colts are 9-1 when they run for 100 yards and the Chiefs are 0-5 when they allow a 100 yard rusher. Stopping the run has got to be our #1 priority.

Protecting Smith should be our no 1 priority.

Pressuring Luck should be our 2nd...

So excited for the game tomorrow. I think we will stick it to the Colts and shatter the NFL's dream of a Manning vs Luck match-up.

Has anyone here been to Indy that can recommend some good places to eat and check out.

Ditto

I would be shocked if he doesn't play. He has got to be the toughest player on the team. He has played entire seasons with legit injuries.

Chiefs are 0-2 in playoff games where they amass less than 200 total yards of offense. You know...the last 2 playoff disasters.

The Chiefs played their worst game of the season against the Colts at Arrowhead.

Most turnovers all year at 4.
Most missed tackles on the year with 17.
More blown coverages.

Despite that we were still down by only 6 points at halftime.

We play sound fundamental football and we win this game by double digits.

It's Red Friday...
 

Red up.:arrow:

I've saved 15% by switching to Geico

Spread is now down to -1 and its a pickem on several sights. Interesting.

Luck actually didn't manage the rush well at all. Of course when we blow assignments and miss tackle s that turn into huge gainers, that will happen. I still cannot believe his heave ho hit an open receiver.

I wouldn't worry about him joining their staff. I hear TB has a problem with staff infections.

I just realized that this might be the last Red Friday of the year. I hope not. I'm not ready for our season to be over.

There's no doubt we need the offense clicking on all cylinders. We need to weather the storm early instead of crapping our pants like we did in Denver. The first quarter is important in this one. On a side note we also need to wear the red pants. No more white on white in the playoffs!

KC Star.

try reading the paper

Fisher and hali misssed the last practice before leaving for Indy. Andy says if the swelling in Hali's knee goes down he will try and play.

Fish with a groin injury.

Fisher out.

Might be a good thing against Mathis.

Now all we need is someone to replace Kendrick Lewis and we're set.

I'm hoping for a Home Alone scenario.


Andy: Oh No! We forgot Kendrick!

I just wish it was Saturday already....

He was pretty good against Mathis. Stephenson was terrible. So much so that they didn't line Mathis up against the rookie at all in the second half. It got so bad that Stephenson tried to trip him. I'd prefer Fisher in there but either way Mathis will get his.

If Tamba is really hurting I hope they sit him or limit his snaps. The last game he played was against the Colts and he ended up with 2 tackles, 0 sacks and 0 QB hits for the whole damn game. We have to have more production from that position and I saw a lot of back ups last week that are capable of better numbers than 2 freaking tackles. I would take Zombo's stat line from last week of 4 tackles, 1 sack and three QB hits against Indy.

Albert will have Smith's blindside against Mathis

Tamba should be fine

You're right, but with Mathis rushing on the right, and not the left, at least Alex can see it coming.

Should we be worried ? Colts are 9-0 when Walt Anderson is the Head Ref

The Colts are a good team, they win a lot.

Tamba game time decision.

I wanna win this game so bad tomorrow. It just sucks because there's nothing I or we can do about it. It's out of our hands. We just gotta hope for best and believe.

They are good. They have a dominate pash rusher, better passing game period. We have the better defense and rb. Could go either way. I do like our return game to get us some big yardage.

Just saw espn's Chris Berman state the Chiefs would meet the 49ers in the SB.

KISS OF DEATH

to the '9ers!!!!



/hopefully

Swell.

Tamba has missed 1 game in his career, this wont be #2.

You waved the white flag already

Don't confuse being less than optimistic of KC's chances as actively hoping for a loss.

God!!!!!!!!

We need to win this shit.

A fresh out of college coworker of mine came in wearing his Charles jersey today. He's so gung-ho about the game. I told him, that he's too young and hasn't been beat down like the rest of us enough yet. :)

I envy him.

Taking these bold new steps into a larger world.

Saw that also, the swami has always been the kiss of death for the Chiefs.

NFL Net Playbook spending 3 min on how Eric Fisher is gonna be a weak spot. Highlighting his bad form and getting beat in the INDY game.

Recorded earlier in the week.

Well I guess we will never know.

I envied him as well. Happy go lucky little schmuck LMAO

The kid was only 5 during the '95 Colt playoff game and 7 during the '97 Denver game.

Those were two of the most devastating losses I've ever seen. So yeah, the kid is pretty naïve.

I am very confident we dominate the game.

Isn't he 9-1 in the past 10 seasons picking the Super Bowl just before the playoffs? It's something crazy like that.

I'm 25 and was there in 97, 03 and 10..

I think you are confused about what waving the white flag means.
Some of you having been waving it all week.
If we do win I cant wait to hear about how we have no chance next week.

I'm getting pumped. I'm sick. I got bronchitis (ain't nobody got time for that). But I won't be sitting down the entire game. I'll be standing up, yelling and screaming like it's my last game ever.

Since you missed it, he gives us no chance of winning but hes too much of a Coward to accept a bet that would result in him having to leave till week 1 if we won.
Dude is nutless.

Nothing will ever hurt as bad as the Miami loss with the phantom holding call and kick a few feet too short. A little piece of me died that day.

I do to. I remember all 7 playoff losses like they were yesterday. It will be a miracle if we win this game. Meaning, we hit Luck a bunch and Bowe actually does something. It just doesn't seem possible.

Well, he's not playing so...

Everyone is talking about how the Colts will focus on Jamaal, so someone else will need to step up on offense.
It would be great if Bowe did that.

However, the Colts focus against the Chiefs in week 16 was on Charles also.

He ran the ball 13 times for 106 yards.

The Chiefs can win this game if Charles gets at least 20 carries.

Everything else on offense will feed off the success of Charles.

Oh for ****s sake

Alex will play stellar today.

250 2TDs and no INTs.
