That's what the Chiefs needed to do yesterday against the Broncos and that's why we lost yesterday.

Even a quick passing offense can't keep firing when you have pressure straight up the middle. We got none and Lotulelei blowing through the center just absolutely detonated Brady's plan on that play.

Poe was the key to yesterday and he was largely neutralized. Next time they play, Hali/Houston need to force some doubles and allow Poe to get that pressure up the gut. If not, we're likely boned again.

He is an unsung hero

I rarely see him drawing attention away from Poe on the rush. I don't think he'd have made a difference in freeing Poe up at all.

I think Poe and Hali have been run a little too hard to this point. Hali appears to be showing his age and frankly Poe's just been overworked without a credible backup.

Houston...well I'm seeing some effort concerns I'm not excited about to this point.

We'll see if this carries over to the home games. I'm wondering if maybe this D isn't a little like Seattle's - they just thrive so much on the crowd's energy that they look a hell of a lot more mortal on the road.

They just doubled Poe for the most part, then he got tired.

Of course they did.

Hali and Houston weren't able to make them pay for it so they never bothered to take anybody off Poe in the middle.

Oh...well that should be the end of Ridley's night. Belichick doesn't deal with this fumbling shit, especially not inside the 10 and most especially not from Ridley.

That ball wasn't even hit very hard; really poor form from Ridley there.

They weren't, but against manning last night, it was tough. I think the officiating really negated what we want to do in the defensive backfield. We couldn't be physical and re route wrs so we stopped trying and that allowed them to get the ball out quick.

When Peyton has a clean pocket – He will carve up a team’s defense. I was a little surprised that the Chiefs’ secondary played man-to-man and not zone, since man-to-man works in Peyton’s favor.

I think the Chiefs’ defense will play Peyton differently when they meet in Arrowhead Stadium in two weeks. Regardless of last night’s outcome, the Chiefs still have a chance to win the division. Beat the Broncos at home in two weeks and your team will have the inside track with four games to play.
