The Chiefs are simply built to beat the Patriots’ in playoffs, says Fox Sports writer
"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. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...115627688.html BY PETE GRATHOFF 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. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...#storylink=cpy |

If we have a healthy Houston and the rest of our defense, Maclin and Ware, then look out. This team is special. There's something about this team. I feel it. Alex ALWAYS steps up in the playoffs. I think he'll get going and perform well.
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.

I think we'd have to get them at home. The Broncos did it last year with a QB who had about twice as many INT as TD. There is no way on earth you're going to convince me Alex Smith, as rough as he's been, is worse than what the Broncos threw out there last year. That's really not the ideal situation either way, but it's at least "possible."
Of course, their defense was truly lights out too. But to win the Super Bowl, sometimes you have to be. The Seahawks were too. Not just a top 3-4 defense, but truly a nightmare to face. |

Look, it's 4 divisional games left out of 7. 2 vs. the hated Broncos! It's time to be or get healthy. It's no coincidence that Reid has saved Houston until now IMO.
It's no coincidence that he's been doing the same with other starters. It's the meat of the schedule. All hands on deck! |

And how do we know that? This year's Chiefs team is scoring slightly more points per game than last year's Broncos team. Alex Smith is actually averaging slightly more passing yards per game than Manning did last year, not by much but still, it's higher... plus he has a 8/3 TD/INT ratio... and not a 9 TD/17 INT ratio, and currently a higher QBR than Manning did last year. And this is a down year, probably our worst offensive year since Reid came to KC. Since Reid came on board we've had a top 10 scoring offense twice, which is way better than last year's Broncos offense. It's not even close. Your post isn't even remotely close to accurate. |

Look at our neighbors at total offense the only reason our scoring offense was that high was because our defense kept turning the ball over good teams will not do this |

They blanked the Colts, Raiders and Carolina...3 of their last 5 opponents..all on the road. This is without Houston... Find a team that brings you entertainment...and quit watching this one. No one will mind.. In case you forgot...KC put up 30 points in a road playoff game last year. |
