Ezekiel Elliott will play at least two more games before his suspension

We are not that physical in the trenches my friend and IF we are going far into the playoffs we better find some serious attitude soon.

Pitt is one game out of 6 where they were missing 3 starters on the online and were probably peeking ahead a little to Oakland who they play 4 days later. If they lay an egg Thursday then maybe I start getting concerned. Pitt has had the Chiefs number for a while now. 1 loss to one of the top three teams in the AFC doesn't suddenly negate what they did the first 5 games. It's hard to go undefeated, especially with the gauntlet KC had the first two months.

It was pretty apparent the chiefs didn't bring their A game Sunday and yet they still had a shot in the 4th quarter. Regardless, even with Elliot Dallas is the third best team in their division.

Your anxiety is showing a bit here and I am not trying to you here either. You are a good dude. Notice what I bolded in your reply here. Why has Pitt had our number for awhile ? IMHO when you go back and watch all those games closely and heck you don't even have to watch closely, they physically dominate us in the trenches, PERIOD !!! IMHO our guys are intimidated and refuse to match or surpass their intensity/physicality. Andy was a bit in denial in his press conference after this last Sunday when he said, Pitt are two different teams from last year and there was nothing the same from last year's playoff game to this game. The only difference and he stated was that our first drive last year we drove down and scored the first series BUT after that it was "carbon copy" of last years playoff game. Okay Pitt has gotten better in the 2ndary, but other than that Pitt once again "threw us around like rag dolls". Even IF Morse,LDT and Ehinger play we still get tossed around. Morse and LDT played last year.

Bottom line: Pitt "pass rushed" and "rushed" at will on us these past few years because they flat out are more "physical" than we are and we need some serious attitude adjustment IMHO because we are physically intimidated by them and you can see it.

My opinion is Pitt is simply a matchup problem for the Chiefs for what they like to do. Sutton's defense of dropping guys into coverage rather than attacking most of the game works great against quick pass happy teams but leaves them vulnerable against the run which is what Pitt and Bell Excel at.

I get your point BUT match up problem or not we get pushed around waaaaaaaaay too easy in the trenches.

If Pitt could push us around Dallas will ****ing MAUL us with their O line.

I could see Zeke sitting and they still run on us for 6.2 per carry...

This is why it's the only real test remaining for us.

Dallas is putting up 30 on us.

MVP Alex or die in a fire.

Good news is their defense is total....manure.

They're terrible all over but completely inept at pass defense...
