It's looking more likely it's going to snow in Kansas City on Saturday. This has to favor the Chiefs....
Snow is in weekend forecast; What that means for Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff game
Oh boy, here we go again.
While much of the culture has changed in Indy, the ownership still hasn’t. Looks like it’s banner SZN yet again.
They make it nearly impossible to root for them even when a win for them will help your own teams chances at a SB appearance. God damn that is tough to do and yet they ****ing make it happen!Jesus.
Go Chiefs.
It’s all the damn ownership and fanbase.They make it nearly impossible to root for them even when a win for them will help your own teams chances at a SB appearance.
It could go either way I think. Unlike KC, the colts are a dome team and they can't run the ball all night. They'll have to pass at some point and if their receivers can't catch a slick ball or they lose their traction on the turf then it'll be a problem for them. KC can run the rock as well with Damian Williams.
I think it will actually favor the Colts. Mahones will not be able to rely on his legs so much to bail him out if protection breaks down.
If he has to stand in the pocket, his efficiency % takes a nosedive.
Luck on the other hand, is excellent in the pocket.
Current forecast for the Colts @Chiefs is mid-30s and dry.
Mahomes is one of the highest rated passers from the pocket. 50 touchdowns and 5000 yards isn’t a gimmick
The Colts aren’t a great pass rushing team, so Mahomes should have plenty of time to throw, as will Andrew Luck. I think it’s going to be a shootout in the 30s
You want to go to KC? Didn’t we learn this lesson in 2015?
By my count, 28 of his 50 touchdowns came from inside the pocket (this doesn’t count additional screen passes or shovel passes).Uhhhhh... you sure about that?
This. If it becomes an ugly game, I believe that favors the colts. Let it snowNot sure about that. Snow usually favors the team with the better defense and ground game. I would actually think that favors the Colts. Not that I don't think Mahomes can still sling it in snow. I think he could probably throw through a hurricane. But it will still slow down the passing game on both sides.
TDs and ratings are two different things...just sayin.

He’s comfortable there, and has the arm to work from the pocket. Saturday’s game is a battle between two athletic, strong armed pocket passers.
Most quarterbacks don’t have 3 seconds to throw. They’re expected to get the throw off in less than 3 seconds. Mahomes has 50 touchdowns and 5000 yards because he has been very good at reading the defense and going through his progressions quickly like other elite quarterbacksHe's completing 47% of his passes from the pocket when he has to stay in there for more than 3 seconds. Put another way, when his first read is open, he's able to hit him. When his first read isn't open and he's kept in the pocket, he suffers. It disputes the original statement that I bolded in your post.

Teams have thrown the kitchen sink at Mahomes all year but he’s been the most consistent quarterback in the league so far
