Tonight's Game / KC Playoff's Chances / AFC Overview - Page 3

Amnorix · 11-22-2004, 07:46 AM

Tonight's game should be a very interesting matchup. The Chiefs record, obviously, does not reflect how scary they are on offense. The battle between the Chiefs offense and the Pats defense should be very interesting indeed to see.

The Steelers' offensive line blew the Pats defense away, of course, but alot of the problems there were more technique than anything else and (according to Patriots coaches' quotes lately) correctable. The Chiefs offensive line is at least as good if not better than the Steelers, so if nothing else we'll see if our defense is able to deal well with an outstanding offensive line.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Chiefs are just playing for pride. As other threads have noted, victories yesterday by the Jets, Ravens, Colts, Broncos, Chargers and Steelers have sealed the deal for the Chiefs in terms of making the playoffs. 10-6 is the best the Chiefs can do, against a pretty tough schedule, and 10 wins won't get them a wildcard in the mighty AFC. The AFC West is also not likely to be winnable given that the Chiefs are pretty far behind not one, but two teams.

The AFC's domination of the NFC continued yesterday, and it's beyond clear that the balance of power that used to favor the NFC in the 80s, etc. is now clearly with the AFC. The Rams have 5 losses, 3 of which are to AFC East teams (including the cellar dwelling Dolphins and Bills). The Iggles were utterly crushed by the Steelers for their only loss, and squeaked by the Ravens by a 15-10 score, at home. The Colts only losses have come to AFC Teams, while they have beaten all of their NFC opponents, which includes the best the NFC North has to offer (Green Bay and Minnesota). The Patriots have steamrolled St. Louis and Seattle, beat Arizona in AZ comfortably, and have only the Niners left to play. Pittsburgh's only loss, of course, came to division rival Baltimore.

The AFC wildcard will require at least 11 wins to achieve, and the battle to go to the Super Bowl from the AFC will be extremely intense. I have little doubt that whoever wins the AFC Championship game will win the Super Bowl.

I think the NFC has 2 solid teams that I would worry about: Philly and Minnesota.

Philly is by far the best team in the NFC. They have a great DC, and McNabb to Owens in amazing.

Minn is much better than they were last year. They are hurt by not having Moss for the past 4 games. If they can get him back, and get one of their back in the grove (Bennett or Smith) watch out for that offense. Their D is much better than last year as well.

I'm not sold on the Steelers with a rookie QB winning it all. I also worry about the Pats because the have banged up DBs.

I would love to see an Indy vs Philly SB

its going to be ugly tonight....ugly

Oh, I don't know. I think that Patriots are good enough to make a game out of it.

Considering (a) what you guys did to the Falcons, and (b) what the Steelers did to us, a blowout in your favor is not beyond the realm of possibility.

I'd be damned surprised though....

'course if I really wanted to be mean I'd point out that win or lose, the Pats are 99% likely to go to the playoffs, while win or lose, the Chiefs are 99% unlikely to go, but that's just not nice.

God Amno, I can see the set up for our heads to be rolling tomorrow with the amount of sh*t talking you are doing. If we don't win this game

**Rain Man** · 11-22-2004, 10:01 AM

I'm just hoping the Chiefs fans don't all leave in the third quarter. Once we start our mop-up activities, it will be good for Larry Johnson to play in front of a full stadium.

DenverChief · 11-22-2004, 10:06 AM

Watch out for Sandy Eggo, I think they will suprise a lot of teams, they seem to be flying under the radar even though they are playing far above expectations

Be careful, Amnorix...according to the founding charter of this BB, only Bronco homerism is sanctioned and permitted on this, a Chiefs fan BB.

Homerism from all other teams is summarily dismissed and can be a bannable offense.

I think I'm safe. I'm not much of a homer. I've already stated several times in various threads that KC's offense is scary, that they can beat anybody in any given week, that they could potentially (albeit unlikely) dominate us given what the Steelers did to us and what you guys did to Atlanta, etc. etc.

But I do think we'll win in a tight, relatively high scoring game. 31-24, 34-31, something like that.

Oh, I don't know. The Chiefs seem to have some kind of reerun strenght. Except it comes out when they least need it instead of when their in some kind of danger. (ie. playoffs)

I'm pretty pumped for tonights game actually. I've given up my Sudays to fly fishing since their out of the playoffs.

THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE - THE CHIEFS ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS.

Sombody hug me and remind me I'm a real fan.
