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

[Trivers]

"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.

So what you are saying is we should never enjoy winning because there is a chance we'll lose at some point in the future? What kind of pussy shit is that?

Oh, one question. Ever hear of punctuation? It would make your drivel easier to read.

Listen you dumb mother ****er...I understand fans with limited awareness process football on an offensive production/fantasy points level. Here's a little news flash, tiny prick...defense wins. KC is owning the 2nd half of games against top offensive teams.

Sorry your vicarious erection is co-dependent on long TD passes highlighted in ESPN replay reels...

Like I said ..go root for the Falcons..they will give you what your reeruned ass is looking for.

You'll just be a little bitch on their forum about how their defense sucks...

Nice diversion.

Sorry, but even if the Chiefs get home field, they're not a lock to make it to the Super Bowl. Far too many similarities in this team, as past ones, having "issues" on offense. The good thing is the 7-2 record has bought them time to get that worked out. Otherwise, shades of '95 & '97 loom...Just my take.

Denver beat NE by first jamming receivers, disrupting timing. That allowed them to get pressure. The Chiefs playing man coverage 8 yards off will get shredded by Brady and Peters and company aren't great pressing.

The Chiefs are going to have to play a different type of defense than what they've been winning with. And it's going to have to be defense that beats NE. Or we can hope to face a different opponent in the post season

[BlackHelicopters]

We are not equipped this season to make the playoffs much less beat the Patriots in the playoffs. Guy's an idiot.

NE just traded their best defensive player and their D looked real vulnerable to a team that doesn't have a good line. Key is having a healthy pass rush against Brady to make him uncomfortable.

Key is disrupting the timing and rhythm of the receiver's routes, allowing time for the pass rush to disrupt Brady.

Oaklandhater is an idiot.
I don't think anyone will debate that.

That said, he's right.

This team can not rely on creating turnovers to win against the Patriots.

In the Bellichick era, Tom Brady has evolved from a game manager into a QB who is in the discussion of greatest ever, and the team has evolved from a ball control, defense oriented group into a high powered, high scoring offense.

But one thing has remained consistent.
They don't make mistakes and turn the ball over.

The Patriots since Bellichick took over are number one in turnover differential, and no team is even close.

You want to beat the Patriots, you control the ball, play defense and force them into 3 and outs.

There is little chance you force them into mistakes.

Yes, all true. Can't be giving Brady or any top QB those quick hitters. May as well not even bother having Houston back on the field, unless they disrupt and buy their pass rush time. Forcing Brady to pull the ball down and keep searching for another target.. that is the way.

[CoMoChief]

Chiefs don't stand a chance against Brady in Foxboro, esp w/ Alex Smith as their QB.

Need HFA at Arrowhead. If the Chiefs are able to snag HFA, then I'm confident the Chiefs can pull out a win at Arrowhead. They just need to keep winning.

[Chief_For_Life58]

Yeah right we can beat Brady and belichek lol

[PutQuinnIn]

Patriots will be a different team when they get their top RB Dion Lewis back.

[BlackOp]

I would think that if KC meets NE again...it would be advantageous for Reid/Sutton. They just played in the same scenario and the Patriots haven't changed a lot.

NE lost it's two best pass rushers and KC "should" have Houston, Ware and Maclin..possibly Charles.

[B_Ambuehl]

The chiefs play too much man, which Brady (and Rodgers and Rapistburger) destroy.

I look for Rapistburger to figure out a way to sneak in the playoffs and make a superbowl run thru new england.

Belichik is ripe for another season full of regular season hype followed by blowout playoff exit. NE defense is terrible. You'd have to dig really hard thru every NFL roster to find a less talented defense. Scheme and coaching can only do so much, Belichik may have finally overplayed his hand running one too many talented players out of town thinking he can get it done with slapdicks.

But that offense is legit. If you can get a first round bye (remember Andys record coming off byes), and Alex can finagle a 30 point night, you might have a chance.
