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. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...115627688.html BY PETE GRATHOFF 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. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...#storylink=cpy |

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

It would obv have to be at home, because we'd never win up there.
I don't recall stopping Brady last year but perhaps I misremember the game. |

OT is signficantly better as well as the OL overall (Morse is stronger/LDT looks like he finally gets it and is consistent).
Conley=much improved over last year Reek=way better than Wilson OL and WR overall is far better

Maclin is our True 1 and he is looking like a dumpster fire this year and Conley didn't do shit last week.

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)

I do agree that the Chiefs are the best built team to beat NE in the playoffs. Denver probably was until their QB became Siemian while their OL remains terrible.
To win a playoff game at NE, or even against them at Arrowhead, you are going to have to take care of the ball. The Chiefs can do that. You also are going to probably need some special plays on defense and STs, which the Chiefs are better suited to pull off than anyone. If you think back, Peters nearly intercepted Brady like 3 times last year. If he catches even one interception, it is a different game. If Tyreek Hill takes even one punt past the 50 or to the house, it changes the game. There is no doubt we have the best shot IMO. Will we? Lets just beat the Bucs first. |

Chris Conley needs to start being implemented in the offense. I firmly believe that guy is a play maker not being used. It's a dangerous team if the offense magically clicks.
