Week 16 SNF on Christmas. Let's talk about Denver.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Chiefs currently open up as 5 to 5.5 point favorites according to early Sportsbooks

Fivethirtyeight pegs us at a 70% likelihood of winning this matchup

What's changed since our last matchup?:
Jeremy Maclin appears to be returning to form coming off an 82 yard game (2 very impressive receptions for gains of 44 yards and a 17 yard pickup on 3rd down) .
Denver suffered key losses to both the Titans and Patriots, currently they have just a 17% chance of making the playoffs.
Chiefs have a 99% chance of making the playoffs according to several sites including NYT and FivethirtyEight.
Denver's run game has been pitiful, averaging roughly 3 YPC. Forsett is now their starter.
Von Miller purchased everyone in the entire AFC West a custom bottle of wine.
Vegas has the Chiefs at 4 to 1 odds of winning the AFC.
Early forecasts call for a snowy but relatively warm game.


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and GO CHIEFS!

Our head coach limits our capabilities and we all know it's going to happen again sometime down the road.

I disagree to a point. Andy didn't throw the pic in the end zone when Kelce was open across the middle, and he didn't miss a streaking Tyreek Hill for another score in the same game.

Maybe not but he also only called Hill's number once and Kelce was on Reid in the second half to get him the ball more.

He definitely didn't put them in the best spots to be successful. He loses sight of the fact that he has great weapons when he has a lead, no matter how slim. But, he's also not the one who executes poorly. It's a mixed bag of blame for sure.

I can't understand why he takes his foot off of the gas when he knows the defense is bottom half in every yardage category. He needs to build a three possession lead before he tries to nurse it.

Houston knee swelling. Staff says it's normal and nothing serious.

Chiefs should boat race Denver. The Denver offense is putrid. The defense is breaking down because the offense can't stay on the field. KC just has to not screw up and they win easily.

Oh yeah. Alex Whiff is known for leading offenses up and down the field vs elite defenses.

Houston didn't look normal vs Tenn, he was slow, sluggish and couldn't get off blocks to make plays when they were there.

I figured he would be fine, Andrews is a good Doc and I figured they would get him back on the field for the Broncos game where he would feast on the worst OL in the history of the NFL.

That said I would be concerned about knee swelling. After dropping that Tenn game a 1st round bye is probably gone and that means the rest he needs isn't going to be there.

kc missing their best ILB gives the Broncos a chance to run (if Kubes would commit to it) with Forsett who is a better rb than Booker. Sure hoping that Kubes keeps playing Turner more at guard. They have been taking Schofield off the field for him and he did well early last week but they went back to Schofield and the zone game later with Booker and the run game was stuffed. Sometimes Kubes out thinks himself.

With kc unable to get enough of a lead to force the network to switch to a more competitive game despite kc fans here thinking the game was out of reach only for Tenn to hang around and then Reid overthought himself and gave the Tenn kicker a second chance at making the winning FG.

I am hoping that kc allows Denver to stick around like they did with Tenn, and Jags, and every other team. If the Denver WR's can catch the ball and get a couple plays go their way they can play the spoiler and maybe get that last wild card spot.

However if the Broncos allow Houston (if he plays), Ford, Berry, or even Peters to make a couple big plays then the SB50 champs lose. If the terrible SB50 Champs OL comes out and plays average I could see the Broncos winning this one easily. Siemian can pick apart the suspect secondary as long as he has time to set up to throw.

Should be fun one, too bad it is on Christmas, I will have to listen to it in the car on the way home from family.

Clown shoes.

Tigerbob is getting fitted as we speak

I do remember you two going at it. He would write volume after volume, post 5 times in a row. The guy literally had to respond to everyone in a thread. I guess he reminds me of BB and Uppercut most in how hard they try to prove their intelligence.

[RunKC]

AJ Derby, TJ Ward and Virgil Green in concussion protocol. Not looking like they'll play.
Brandon Marshall still has hamstring issues and hasn't practiced yet and Wolfe has a bad neck issue.

Broncos beat up pretty bad

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Not good for those soft Denver fronts

I can see Alex quiting on the team these last two games.

What in the ever living **** are you spewing now?

Combined with your stupid threads you started recently, this is more solid evidence of your dumbassery. Quit clamoring for attention.

There isn't a hoop or 18 year old dudes in short shorts, so he isn't watching anyway

That's what fat and unemployed will get you. Probably has low T, too.
