Let's assume that the Chiefs, the Jets, and the Ravens make the playoffs. The Jets and the Ravens being WC.

Who do you want to play?

We haven't come back from a big deficit this year. Not to say we cant, but every time we fell behind two possessions we lost.

That's the risk you run when you depend so heavily on the run.

This team isn't built to mount a big comeback, IMO.

They're built to play with a lead.

Yep, and I'm fine with that this year for this team. Not a criticism at all, just reality.

#1 running team or not, we are not built to block that front seven.

Schedule probably has helped them.

8 games against bottom-half rush offenses, 4 of which are ranked 23rd or worse.

Best team they've faced is Pittsburgh, ranked 8th.

Who just ran rather well on them Sunday. Highest total against the Jets all year - 147 yards.

FWIW, the Jets have given up 100+ on the ground in 4 of their last 6 games.

Cleveland, ranked 18th.
New England, ranked 15th
Miami, ranked 21st.
Pittsburgh, ranked 8th.

well i don't know that we can ... we struggle against physical teams.

i'm not sure we will be able to run against the jets or Ravens.

Ravens are giving up 4.0 per rush and haven't looked the dominate run defense they have in the past

Jets are giving up 3.5(i think) and have still looked strong without jenkins.

Ravens D just hasn't looked the same

The Ravens secondary stinks, I'm sure we'd be able to pass better against them. We could beat both teams, but we'd have to play perfectly and they'd need to make several mistakes.

Personally I'd prefer to get the Jets. I think our D lines up with their O a lot better than we would against Baltimore. Put Flowers on Holmes and Carr on Gaylen, who knows?

Bewbies · 12-21-2010, 06:46 PM

One other thing I haven't seen mentioned--since he played in the same division I wonder if Crennel would have a better idea how to stop Baltimore?

Jets have a lot more speed at the WR position which is a big problem for us.

Berry is the only guy with much speed in our secondary

#4 in PPG.

#5 in run defense.

Scares the shit out of me when you consider their personnel.

They suck at the run game though, I tend to think we'd play them a lot more like Denver that we would with a team that can really run the ball.

Not sure why people are putting a Jets game down as a win.

That's simple. The Chiefs are trying to be just like the Patriots. The Patriots destroyed the Jets. Therefore, we should match up better with the Jets.

CoMoChief · 12-21-2010, 06:54 PM

Well we didn't do so bad last year against the Ravens, with CROYLE starting and Gailey being fired just a week prior to week 1. We came back and made it a game til they scored that last TD with 1 min left, then it became a 2 score game IIRC.

and that was at THEIR place.

I think we can compete with just about anyone at Arrowhead, so really I wouldn't care less which team came to Arrowhead. I just know it would be louder than ****ing shit there and it would be rocking like the 90's.

Personally I think the Jets are more talented, they just haven't been able to get it all together and fire on all cylinders. JMO. Flacco is a much better QB than Sanchez....that's the wildcard and because of that I'd rather have the Jets.

And I'd rather go up against Hot hands Braylon Edwards, Holmes and Brad Smith more than I would Anquan Boldin, that guy is a ****ing beast of a WR.

We were dominated in that game. We got our asses kicked up and down the field. Fortunately an interception returned to the 2-yard line and a blocked punt for a TD kept it close.

Oh, and we couldn't run for shit.

I bet Haley would go no huddle both halves against the Ravens. He saw that D suckin' wind in the 4th quarter against the Texans.

Haley thinks his Chiefs are fit and in good shape. You could bet that he would try to exploit that advantage if the Ravens are the opponent.
