I don't even know if it's a matter of the KC D pulling its head out of its ###. It's just a matter of whether the Colt O will play like mortals for a drive or two. I've never seen an offense execute so flawlessly every quarter for two weeks. No drops strung together, no TO's, no nothing. A punt would be a minor miracle at this point.Despite which, a punt is all KC needs to potentially pull even again.Then you haven't read my posts in this thread or all week - I ALWAYS said this would be a 45 to 40 type game, that would come down to both teams' execution on offense, not on whether the Chiefs' defense can stop Manning.i dont know what else to say.Yes, the Chiefs defense sucks and can't stop Manning - that's not why they will lose, though.
They have a chance to turn it around here. If they can't, there will be no question that this DEFENSE is why they're going home.1) The Chiefs D is awful, the Colts have shredded them all day, and:
C-pella beat me to the punch by a minute.Great minds think alike.That was a great return by Dante...but two things:1) The Chiefs D is awful, the Colts have shredded them all day, and:2) The Chiefs D has to be exhausted.I'd be shocked if the Colts don't go right back downfield here.
And again, Manning is clutch. I've seen a lot of great playmaking, but this is top grade stuff.Monstrous 3rd down play coming up here.
Yeh, but even you had to assume no matter what, the Chiefs D would have to stop them at least once.edited to strategically place a commaThen you haven't read my posts in this thread or all week - I ALWAYS said this would be a 45 to 40 type game, that would come down to both teams' execution on offense, not on whether the Chiefs' defense can stop Manning.i dont know what else to say.Yes, the Chiefs defense sucks and can't stop Manning - that's not why they will lose, though.

Absolutely correct - most true statement made about the Colts.I thought there'd be a couple of miscue in Arrowhead by the Colts, but with the way the Colts are executing, Hall can run back every kickoff for a TD and the Colts will still win the game.I've never seen an offense execute so flawlessly every quarter for two weeks. No drops strung together, no TO's, no nothing. A punt would be a minor miracle at this point.
Scroll up 1/2 page or so. E-Nerd said the same thing.If this game does go to OT, I got some silly advice:Make sure you win the coin flip.
Sure have - and WHY? Their offense - dropped passes in the end zone will kill an offense's effectiveness.What did I say in this thread, which disputes that? If not for the two dropped passes in the endzone, the Chiefs would be doing what I said - staying ahead of the Colts' scoring. Like I said - dropped passes. It's the biggest reason the Chiefs can point to if they lose the game.I've read them. You've been pimping the Chiefs all week in about 15 different threads. Linky

Dude I'm NOT saying anything about the Chiefs' D - yes, it sucks. I never said different.You are apparently discounting my point - w/o the two dropped end zone passes, the Colts right now would be trying to get thelead, not keep it.BTW, I think it is funny that they have, for the most part, gotten rid of the yello first down line whenever Manning drops back to pass.Your right, the Chiefs D is doing their job, they did hold the Colts to a FG once.Sure have - and WHY?

well, even if i agree with you, doesnt matter, the Colts have better WR's, so there is your difference in the game.Dude I'm NOT saying anything about the Chiefs' D - yes, it sucks.

ROFL. KC needs Indy to screw up, bad.(Edited to reflect James now in. Greg Robinson, I hope you're renting . . . )
they should make him the o coordinator next yearManning is just awesome today.Normally I hate all his audibles, but they have been clinchers.Will Manning be the Offensive co-ordinator when Tom Moore retires?
The funny thing is... Manning is probably better at calling the plays. Moore should watch his step, star quraterbacks can send you to the unemployment line.Will Manning be the Offensive co-ordinator when Tom Moore retires?

OF COURSE - I'm done talking about this - I said lack of offensive effectiveness (ie - dropped baslls in the endzone) was the main reason for the loss, I fully accept B.S.'s argument that the failure of the Chiefs' D is the main problem. You are jumping in w/ nothing to say.On the game - I was suprised they risked giving Manning the ball at the 40, but I think Vermeil acknowledges that if he doesn't keep his D on the sideline, nothing else matters.WTF? Shut up already, aren't the receivers part of the offense?
it was clearly the right callInteresting that Vermeil let the croud talk him into going for it. Don't see it happen very often.
Now you know what it was like watching Marino in the playoffs versus Buffalo.You know, it's almost sad to see a 13-3 team lose like this. I mean, here's a great offensive team about to be eliminated from the post-season because they have NO defense.
Amen, smlevin.On the game - I was suprised they risked giving Manning the ball at the 40, but I think Vermeil acknowledges that if he doesn't keep his D on the sideline, nothing else matters.
:rotflmao:it was clearly the right call
