But obviously Mahome Boy will need to be healthy for them to have a chance. They desperately need Ramsey. Otherwise they are in a pinch.

Reid's approach of burning you timeouts early with respect to clock management flies in the face of what BB says about it. Bill always says you are "better off with less time, but all your timeouts", than a minute more with no time outs.Moreover, stupid Andy Reid
I hear you but oddly, Belichick has flat out said the Time of Possession is an extremely overrated stat. It would be interesting to see a study of wins/losses and TOP.You watch Brady and the Pats and they purposely want long time consuming drives chewing up small bites of ground. By the 4th quarter the other defense is gassed just like the Chiefs defense was last AFCC.
I don't buy the Colts as a serious team at all.
Their defense is not good.
They have a good coach and good OL, that's it.
The Chiefs defense is ranked 31st vs the run. They cant stop the run and injuries are not the excuse.
Moreover, stupid Andy Reid did not learn from last season. The Chiefs and Mahomes want to score in 2 plays and put their lack of depth defense right back out on the field magnifying the porous defense.

Year 2 of Mahomes and Defensive Coordinators had all off season to break down his tendencies. He is being rushed this year alot and getting sacked and chased out of the pocket.
Didn’t Bill burn his 1st timeout after kickoff yesterday? Always playing mind games that guy.Reid's approach of burning you timeouts early with respect to clock management flies in the face of what BB says about it. Bill always says you are "better off with less time, but all your timeouts", than a minute more with no time outs.
Reid drained all three of his time outs to stop the clock on the COlts O with over 4 and half minutes still in the game. I have seen him do that before but last night I felt like it was just extremely odd.
I think that’s BB being BB. He’s right in the example he gives of course, you don’t get W’s for holding onto the ball longer, but he hates stats and without context drawing conclusions from TOP in a vacuum can be deceiving. But, since his Giants days thru present day he has been part of developing game plans that utilize controlling the ball, field position, and clock as a mechanism of controlling the outcome.I hear you but oddly, Belichick has flat out said the Time of Possession is an extremely overrated stat. It would be interesting to see a study of wins/losses and TOP.
That is what he said. He said points allowed verse points score only really stat that matters. He even said something like "if we score 7 and it takes 30 seconds. And they score three or zero but take nine minutes, we win."

WordTheir defense is pretty damn good. Their OLine is very good. If you win the line of scrimmage consistently, you are likely going to win the game. Their LG is a mauler. The offense made "Run The Damn Ball" hats. Seems like NE isn't the only team seeing benefits to getting back to a run game (minnesota and cook comes to mind).
Mahomes game is predicated on getting outside the pocket and ad libbing. Throwing back across his body and all sorts of such bad habits. He currently has the abilities to pull that **** off. He is often rolling out by design and seemingly directing traffic like its a pick up game.
Now he's banged up, immobile (likely worse next week, he aggravated a previous injury and was clearly hampered in delivery and mobility late), and missing weapons. The chiefs are incredibly vulnerable the next few weeks. Mahomes and their starting guard on the same play last night (backup OG is trash) Both DTs got ground down and eventually injured last night, and they sucked against the run already
The colts are a mash unit at db. Pretty sure every starting S and CB were either already ruled out or atleast missed portions of last nights game with injuries. Leonard is out. DT out too IIRC. Still held the chiefs in check with help from brutal officiating (not saying they were leaning one way or the other, just killed game flow), some fortunately timed turnovers and a physical, gritty game. Maybe part of the problem is they just committed to being overly physical in the secondary, forcing the refs to "not call it every play" kind of stuff. They had a PS call up talimg starter reps at outside corner, against the chiefs, and won.
Well done Indy.
Word
Reid has no idea what Mahomes is going to do next. Andy is just happy to have his sheet of 1000 plays and be along for the ride. Mahomes has taken over with his sandlot football making up plays as they happen.
If it takes him (or Manning or Brady for that matter) 2 minutes to score 7, and the other team 9 minutes to score 3, his point is valid. AND he DID actually say out loud that TOP was an overrated stat.Mahomes cant do anything without being on the field
