Week 7: Let's talk about the Broncos

[Tombstone RJ]

If Mahomes is healthy, I expect KC to win by at least a TD. Now, if Mahomes is gimpy on his ankle, then I expect it to be a close game. Remember, the Broncos offense is anemic, it's like trying to watch paint dry. It don't know how many times Flacco could simply scramble 7 yards for a first down but instead he gets sacked or makes a bad throw or generally does something uninspiring.

Now the Broncos defense, although struggling with injuries, seems to be gelling and playing better. Fangio has made some adjustments and moves some guys around and it seems to be working. But the simple fact is that a healthy Mahomes can still make plays regardless of how good a defense is playing.

No way will Mahomes be 100% by Thursday...it worries me.

I'm actually quite concerned with this game, seems like wrong team at the wrong time...Lindsay is going to destroy us and I think Denver's D could play well enough to win.

After yesterday, this just feels like wheels come totally off.

If the chiefs can’t get sacks this week they never will

[Steve Sewell]

The Broncos suck, have a below average QB, and a ton of players out with injury. Despite that, playing at home on a very short week against a team having trouble stopping the run favors them greatly. I don't know what to think about this game, but it will probably be pretty close.

[kcpasco]

We need to maximize our 5 possessions.

[Mile High Mania]

Thus place... lots of good reading here today, but one would think KC will never win another game after reading all this stuff. Nut up, buttercups... there are 10 more weeks in the regular season.

If I was Denver I'd run the rock directly up the middle of the Chiefs baby shit soft asses every single play and only pass when absolutely necessary. And when I did pass I'd just throw quick slants and screens.

Don't worry, the Broncos offense is pretty predictable. Run on first down, run on second down, pass on 3rd and anything over 5 yards. Then punt. It's amazingly predictable. I keep thinking to myself, like some old timer watching football back in the 1970s "hey, why not pass on first down? Ya know, change it up a little?"

That's enough to worry about.

The Chiefs defense gets trampled by the same ****ing play over and over again.

The Colts did it, the Texans did it, and the Broncos will do it.

I'll bet Flacco throws less than 20 passes. They will run right up the middle. I know it, Spags knows it, the Chiefs defense knows it, and the Broncos know it...but we still won't be able to stop it.

If they run on every play, why would they ever need to pass? Indy will tell you this. That said Dungvers O line is much worse than Indy or Houston’s. Maybe our D line could get a little pressure, but that’s asking a lot.

There's no way Denver's O Line is worse than Houston's...that O Line is absolute garbage, we just couldn't exploit it.

That would be awesome if true... couple that with KC's run defense, maybe they can run the ball 55 times and own the clock for 40 minutes.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

Fangio is the exact type of coach who will absolutely have no problem running the ball 50 times if that is the key to winning, and in fact I think he'll be thrilled to do so. I will be utterly shocked if they don't run for at least 225 yards.

Our entire unit on D is going to be worn down after the Colts and Texans bulldozed them them past 2 weeks, playing in thin air on three days rest. Mahomes is gimpy and players are getting frustrated.

The Bronco D has been building confidence and is on the upswing, and you know they will do everything they can to destroy Mahomes behind this putrid o-line.

This is not a good situation right now, and that's going to be obvious to even the most staunch homer after this game. Broncos are going to steamroll us.

27-20 Broncos, and it won't be as close as the score.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Chiefs didn't practice today but still had to make estimation for injury report as if they did. So Kendall Fuller, Eric Fisher, Chris Jones and Andrew Wylie didn't practice. Sammy Watkins listed as a limited participant. Hitchens and Erving also listed as limited.

We need Fisher back in the worst way.
