Stand there like the Ravens did in the 2012 Championship Game.

Wait wasn't it Coughlin who was cold?

Favre threw 2 TDs, had 0 running game.

Eli completed 50% of passes.

Was that the game Coughlin looked like he was boiled with the beat red face? I remember him answering questions about it afterwards. He truly had no idea what people were talking about.

Need to let Gilmore shut down Kelce's ***** ass like Talib did to Graham

And put mccourty on hill.

I’m more nervous about getting to chipotle before they close tonight than this game

And put mccourty on hill.

I like this idea. Gilmore on Kelce and McCourty/Harmon (safety help) on Hill.

JC Jackson on Watkins.

I was very relaxed going into last week. This one, though, gives me butterflies.

Jason? On Hill?

Hell no.

Chung - Kelce with help
Gilly - Watkins
JC- Hill with help

Reiss is leaning towards picking the Chiefs. They never learn do they.

I don't mind the media picking against the Patriots. It's just the talking heads on TV with repeated histories of hating the Patriots that make stupid proclamations, such as before the Chargers game, saying the loss would be so convincing that we would all remember Jan 13 2019 as the day you could put a nail in the coffin of the Patriots dynasty, That's just stupid.

We need to jam kelce and hill at the line. Be physical with their recievers, If a miraculous catch happens, so be it but dont give them anything easy. Also it was almost sad how bad the colts linebackers bit on that play fake.

 

[Redman443]

bad news: since 2009 we are 4-6 when playing an opponent in the postseason that we played in the regular season.

Wins:
2011 vs denver
2012 vs houston
2016 vs houston
2016 vs pittsburgh

Losses:
2009 vs ravens
2010 vs NYJ
2011 vs NYG
2012 vs ravens
2013 vs denver
2015 vs denver

na, the miraculous catch is always in the SB

2007 no reminder
2011 mario maningham down sideline
2014 seattle WR w/ the bobble to get them to the 1 yd line (before butler pick) a play we would see over and over again had SEA won
2016 the edelman 2 inches off the ground catch (finally came back to the pats side)

...i dont remember if there was a crazy catch in last years SB

Any guesses as to which players may emulate certain KC players such as Mahomes or Hill during practice, this week. I don’t remember hearing anything after the first matchup earlier in the year.

I know the first answer is likely going to be DMac since he’s probably the fastest on the team, but who else? Practice squad players? Do we have any other burners like that? Tackling angles and other variables such as footing etc may be things they’d want to practice.

Chiefs by far have the better offense than of those teams we lost against(except maybe the 2013 Broncos), but they also by even a wider margin have the worst defense than any of those teams.

Losses 5 yrs in a row and 6/7 yrs. Crazy. Probably just bad luck.
