Chiefs Late Night Bullshit: how do we match up against Indy?

**BossChief** · 12-16-2013, 10:19 PM

I don't think we need to respect their running game much, but I think they have a couple guys that will give us trouble in the passing game.

Do we have anybody that has the speed to cover TY Hilton?

How about Heyward-Bey?

Those two have the speed to really put a hurtin on us.

Sets up to be a shootout unless we can get pressure on Luck.

I didn't realize that Lucks stats are damn near identical to Smiths

with the new rules and officiating, all big games are a shootout

so the real answer is, if the Chiefs can outscore the Lucks, they win

I have the Chiefs winning this one

I am glad they won this week. They are 10-0 following a loss since the start of 2012.

I mean, it's not hard to practice the deep ball against our secondary when you have two burners like that.

When they practice, they can just put a cardboard cutout of Lewis and Demps back there in the secondary and it would be somewhat realistic and I don't think our corners can hang with them.

Flowers matches up well on the shorter stuff with either, but can't compete in the open field with either.

Cooper is a lot better than his current perception because of lacking safety help, but he is our fastest corner iirc and no way does he have the speed to stay with Hilton or DHB.

This is a game that our safeties need to answer the bell, or we are gonna have trouble not only this week, but also in the playoffs.

The Pass rush needs to "get home" a lot so that it limits their ability to take advantage of those long developing plays.

Thankfully, Bey has perhaps the worst hands in the entire NFL, Hilton is still nursing a shoulder problem and is 5'10" on a good day and their offensive line is struggling to protect Luck. As well, they can't run the ball for shit. It's a one man show at this point and Luck is forcing a lot at this point.

Personally, I think that we waffle stomp a mudhole in their ass.

Sure would be nice if we can stomp them while continuing to let the elbow heal for Houston.

That would make the playoff matchup that much sweeter.

I think our front 7 (even with Houston out) is much better than Indys front line and that they are gonna need to keep extra blockers back to protect the franchise. If we can force them to do that, I don't think DHB or Hilton are gonna factor in much.

Heyward-Bey doesn't start. It's Hilton and Rogers.

You sure?

DHB is listed as their starter on their website and Rodgers only has 15 targets and 8 receptions.

DHB ran 4th string against the Texans. He was brought in on running plays to block. Yeah....I'm sure.

That's strange, then. The official Indy website has the depth chart with DHB and Hilton as the starters and Rodgers as the third guy.

DHB has 30 catches and 62 targets.

Rodgers has 8 catches on 15 targets...that seems really low for a starter.

I watched the Texans vs Colts game. Da'Rick Rogers is currently the Colts' number 2 receiver. Griff Whalen was playing in the slot and had a decent game but LaVon Brazill will likely be back this week and play in the slot.

DHB has not been involved in the Colts offense for weeks.

No, but from the perspective of my fantasy football team, Luck never ****ing throws to him anyway.

So I think we'll be fine there.

I'm not counting on shit with our defensive backs and Bob Sutton's inability to adjust to offenses.
