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.

Oakland chiefs

A. Smith
19-22, 224 YDS no touch downs

Cant argue math Indy was this offenses best game.

We won both games. Yardage DOES NOT MATTER. WINS matter. At the end of the season they don't send teams to the playoffs based on the number of yards their QB threw for.

Top 5 in passing yards this season:

Drew Brees - not making playoffs

Matt Ryan - will likely make playoffs

Phyllis Rivers - not making playoffs

Kirk Cousins - could make playoffs, but probably not

Andrew Luck - not making playoffs

QBs likely to make playoffs:

Brady - #29

A. Smith - #27

Carr - #7

Seimian - #23

Flacco - #14

Osweiler - #26

Prescott - #18

Wilson - #11

Clearly passing stats don't correlate to making the playoffs.

And I said who gives a shit? QB numbers mean very little as far as being a playoff team, and I PROVED IT. The best teams in the league have QBs with mediocre numbers.

You should go seek medical attention. You have to be pushing four hours.

A. Smith is two spots ahead of Brady. Did you even read my post?

I'm not even arguing at this point I'm actually astonished that people can look so blindly on stats and just say we win or Alex plays better in playoffs That's not a realistic view.

Brady has been suspended for the better part of the season.

It's not about stats. However it is about making plays. QB's will in all likelihood have to step up and be a big part of a win to get through the playoffs. Even in the years where QBs who aren't elite won it happened. Flacco played the best football of his life when the Ravens won and they needed him to. They also needed luck. Same thing with the Giants. Eli made some incredible throws in those SB's to beat NE twice. He also had that luck.

If KC expects to get past NE, and possibly beat a SEA, they will need Smith to really step up in those games. No matter how SEA is playing now, I expect them and NE to be incredibly tough to beat in the playoffs. You aren't beating them by just playing not to lose, which is absolutely how I thought we played against NE last year. I hated how that game played out and the game plan the coaches had.

Also, while your post on QB yards bears out your point well, listing Brady as 27th and implying that as part of your support is a little disingenuous. I would have thrown an asterisk on that one.

We've seen Alex Smith play better in the playoffs than the regular season. It is not out of the question.
