Haley gone, Bell gone, Shazier gone, Harrison gone, Bryant gone, DeCastro out, Hayden out...most importantly, Alex Smith gone.

I think this team is on the serious decline...and riding on past glory. They looked like crap on Sunday...This inst the same team and I think TH leaving for Cleveland is going to affect them more than people know yet.

Chiefs arent the same team either with Mahomes...but KC has battered fan syndrome and they expect the same results as the ultraconservative "I cant solve cover 2" Smith..the whole dynamic of KCs offense has changed. Mahomes can hit those WRs running wide open...when Smith would panic and run for one yard.

KC by 10...starting two back-up CBs against Watkins and Hill?

If I were a DC..I would focus on taking Brown out of the equation and see if they can match scores using Ju-Ju and Conner. I dont think they can...Jones against Decastro's back-up will be interesting.

haley being gone will be less talked about than it should... this will be the bell end of what could be

I think it's going to be critical to have a pass rush rotation here have houton fresh and ford still snappy at the end of the game. I'd like to see a power push from speaks early on Bens going to hold the ball make that tackle fight for it the whole time Ben holds it. Put the tackle in his lap. All to often the outside speed rush just gets pushed around then into the dirt. Let's be physical.

I know how you like those Squealers...now is your chance to have one up close and personal!!!”

If the Chiefs win, was there a time table established on you being able to cash in on your winnings? My fear is that your wife might postpone the payout indefinitely. If she pulls that shit, send her to collections!

This game has the biggest over/under I’ve seen in a long time sitting at 53.5 right now. Occasionally you get 50-51 but this number is huge for the NFL.

If Ben has 375/3 with a bad throwing elbow and only practicing one day...I'd be extremely surprised. I'm not saying it couldn't happen but that would be against the odds.

If KC allows Brown 10/155, Sutton needs to be fired before they leave Pittsburgh. He's the one player they need take out of the game.

One thing that hasn't been talked about is...Haley just put on tape how to approach his former team. You KNOW he had some input on the defensive scheme/tendencies. They had all off-season to prepare.

Not against our shitty secondary

It's funny how the league evolves. I used to believe that the Chiefs had to be built to sweep the division, so it was frustrating every time Denver got the best of us. Then it became obvious that it was more important to build the team to handle the Colts because that was going to be a decade long obstacle to get to the Super Bowl. Reid has demonstrated that he can lead a team in ways that make us very competitive on the road. Road wins just aren't as hard as they used to be. But it is now obvious that this team has to be able to handle Pittsburgh more than any other team. You just can't do that without being a physical team. If you aren't physical you aren't winning in the playoffs and you certainly won't win in December. As much as I'd love to win this one, I just don't see this team near physical enough to do it. We need to be nastier on the OL and we need an upgrade from Bailey, we need to end the Kpass experiment and of course secondary. I'm tired of high priced defensive talent on the sidelines with injuries and paying 50,000 a tackle in some instances. I'd rather move on from Houston and Berry as soon as possible and replacing who we have with muscle across the board. Either we've got to out muscle Pittsburgh or we're just gonna have to wait for their demise. Not interested in waiting.

We lost 16-18 and 13-19 with Alex Smith

Steelers were lucky Gaines can't catch, and they're lucky that Alex Smith gets happy feet.

**** the past. The way people talk you'd think the Steelers beat us 8 straight times

IMHO History will repeat itself. I know if we meet in post season (1-1) we will be on the long end of the stick.

W-L-T Win% PFPG PAPG
2010's: 1-6-0 14.3 14.3 20.3

I hope I am proven wrong Sunday but I am not going to put up the pink slip on the Benz on this game. Even though they are extremely motivated to win in Pittsburgh for the first time in like 32 years I just don't see it happening.
