Chiefs The Chiefs are simply built to beat the Patriots’ in playoffs, says Fox Sports writer

"If the Chiefs have home field advantage in playoffs, they are going to Super Bowl"

Sweet words to the Homer in me. But, alas, they are just words.

If you’re wondering if the 7-2 Chiefs might be flying under the radar with national media, that’s not the case.

Among AFC teams, the Chiefs have the second-best chance to win the Super Bowl, according to fivethirtyeight.com. That 15 percent chance is just behind the Patriots (17 percent). The Chiefs are the top AFC team in Sports Illustrated’s power rankings. They are the second-best AFC team behind the Patriots, according to CBS Sports.

On Thursday, Peter Schrager, Senior National Football Writer for Fox Sports, said only one team in the AFC could beat out the Patriots for a spot in the Super Bowl: the Chiefs.

Schrager noted that the Chiefs have won 17 of their last 19 regular-season games and their home-field advantage is huge.

“The Chiefs do not lose at home,” he said. “They are on a 10-game winning streak in Arrowhead, which is the longest active streak in the entire league.”

Schrager says if the Chiefs win home-field advantage through the playoffs, they will make the Super Bowl.

“The Chiefs are simply built to beat the Patriots,” Schrager said.

Here is more on what Schrager said.

Starting C-OUT
Starting RG-OUT
Best WR-leg injury. Could barely run routes
Houston-8 snaps. ****ed ACL
Tamba-broken hand and swollen knees. Not healthy at all
Best RB-OUT---ACL
2nd string RB-OUT
3rd string RB-OUT
Nickel CB-OUT

It would have been nice to play them with any of our best and most needed players available.

injuries are part of the game

That being said I just fail to see how 2016 chiefs are better then 2015 chiefs we look worse on offense in every way.

In what way on offense are we better ?

Sure, the offense looked bad the last 2 weeks with Maclin out and facing a pretty good D on the road, and a million players out the previous week.

In general, I think the offense is a little more effective than last year's. Hill definitely adds another element. But for whatever reason, Smith is not making nearly as many plays with his feet.

I'm sure if they go out and drop 30+ on Tampa this weekend, all of you weekly 180 pullers will pull your weekly 180 and all will be well. For a week.

Not to mention the two Kniles fumbles that ultimately cost them the game.

This sounds like a fun game. Let me play too:

2015 Patriots:

Starting left tackle and team captain (Solder) - out
Starting Guard (Wendell) - out
starting RB (Blount) - out
Starting 3rd down RB (Dion Lewis) - out
Full back (Develin) - out
Starting MLB and team captain (Jerod Mayo) - out
starting/sub DT (Easley) - out
Backup ILB and key ST guy (Fletcher) - out
Crapton of other guys - out

(19 players on IR total)

Broncos beat them in 2013 with more guys on IR than the above and then lost Chris Harris during the game.

I guess the Pats could turn it over 4 times in scoring range and lose but unless father time catches up with Tommy* I don't see it happening.

1 TD and 4 FG's aren't going to win many playoff games.

Still a lot of football left in the regular season.

**wazu** · 11-19-2016, 10:10 AM

This team can't score. We aren't beating the Patriots. The Bucs will be a fight to the death this week.
