Skip isn't a troll. He actually believes this crap.

Whitlock is a troll. Pete Prisco is a troll. Skip, however, is a believer of falsehoods and lies. He is emotionally invested in every ****ing cliche that comes his way and he sucks each one hard and dry until there's nothing left of it.

Skip's problem is he puts way too much stock in what dudes did in college. The funny part is for years he put all this faith in guys who just have "it"... in college. And just as he was coming into prominence as a sports guy on TV, he was burned so ****ing badly by two guys who matched this criteria-- Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel. The dude is STILL a ****ing punchline because of that faith in the unquantifiable.

So here we are now. He always had the Cowboys. That shit was never going away. But now to leech out any kind of credibility, he crawled up Brady's butt some years ago and now that's all he ever talks about. And anybody who stands in the way of Brady is an enemy... unless he handpicked them because of "it"... then they're okay.

Deshaun lost big in the playoffs last year. And he basically cried about it. He's gonna lose this weekend. And probably cry about it. And what's Skip gonna say next year if they talk Mahomes vs. Watson? "Watson just has 'it' and knows how to make big plays to win games," while "Mahomes is arrogant, selfish, a showboater with his no-look throws, turnover prone, can't win big games... just look at what he was in college!"

Mahomes could beat Watson head-to-head in every matchup for the rest of their careers and Skip would keep peddling the same bullshit. He has a fixed mindset and doesn't learn easily. He's old. He's also an enormous fool.

Let’s talk about the Texans
 

I wondered what Nick Athan was up to these days...

Stupid ****ing phone. That’s supposed to be an upvote.

Remember when you created a thread, crying about how you were too afraid to watch the Chiefs-Denver game in October?

Evened it out Fer ya

Yea that’s what it was I was too afraid to watch a football game!

Replay of week 6 is on NFLN currently. Holy shit man.

4 OL penalties in the first 10 plays. Half by Erving

Speaking of OL, I wonder if Wylie will be starting. I hope not.

And then he injured Mahomes.

1st quarter not even over and Rankin is the only OL without a penalty.

I swear there were at least 10 penalties called counting the ones that were declined.

I hate these refs

Aaaand we get those refs again

Only Hochuli for sure. The rest will be “All-Star” guys. May be some members of his crew, but not all.

From Nate Taylor at The Athletic:

Wylie was ranked as a top 5 player on the Chiefs offense according to PFF

Nice this is the most significant stat I have heard all week.

Point differential is a huge indicator of luck vs ability.

I saw that. Proof that PFF is seriously flawed.

Reid said Kelce’s knee injury is “more like a bruise”.

He’s definitely fine.

Jones is the only guy I’m worried about, but I think he plays. Hopefully he’s close to 100% and it doesn’t lead to further injury.

Gonna be a wolf moon Sunday. Y'all still don't believe? GET ON THE BUS.

Thanks. I will soon convert all the anxiety into a LETS ****ING GO attitude before the game it's just my routine. I think we win but not liking the pre game injury shanannigans

My expectations for this team is sky high. This is the first season that I can remember where I realistically think we can win the whole goddamn thing.

.....which means it's going to hurt exponentially more if they go "full Chiefs" and blow it on Sunday.

I am so with you. Really? We got this. Not worried!

This is my second time. I thought they could/would in 2003.

The defense in 2003 was an obvious weak spot...and it was the entire defense.

Neither side of the ball is weak this year. They have their weak points (consistency in the run game, stopping the run when the game is close, etc.). But neither side of the ball is bad right now.

This is our best chance since...well...probably Super Bowl 4.

Will Fuller (questionable, groin) said he's "still bothered" by his groin injury.

Fuller is a game-time decision but is expected to play barring any setbacks. That doesn't mean he'll be 100 percent after sitting the last three weeks. Fuller's snaps and effectiveness are a concern for the Divisional Round, but his presence should open things up for Deshaun Watson.

Clay thought he could somehow get to 100% in a week LMAO

Is it Sunday yet?

That's not what I said at all.

I simply passed on what was reported.

You need to stop deflecting on my one day of weakness amid your season of giant gaping vagina.

Could be a reversal of what we saw with Mahomes' ankle in Week 6. Injury gets agitated in 1st half and the player becomes very ineffective during 2nd half.

This isn't 2016.

I've been a goddamn homer all year.

You need to sit in that corner and play with your pussy, bitch.

Guys, guys, you're BOTH giant gaping vaginas.

CAN. NOT. WAIT.

(but i have to) god damn it.

Honey Badger will be a Chief for the rest of his career!!!

remember boys

when 12:01 sunday hits

i got the thread

Sane post.

Shades of 2015 Royals proclamations

Can I tell you a secret?

I have the same confidence in the Chiefs this year that I had in the Royals that season, based not in homer-dom but in analysis of matchups.

The Ravens are the Blue Jays in this story.

I’ve been thinking this exact same thing! AWESOME!

“The Texans have a negative point differential this season, and such teams are 0-7 straight up and 1-6 against the spread in divisional-round playoff games.“

The only way this game is close, like a one possession game is if we allow it to be or if Watson plays lights out for 60 minutes which he wont.

Watson is usually incredible for about 5 min a game and a lot of meh for the other 55. Unless the Chiefs O shits the bed they will be adding points to the scoreboard during Watsons meh time.

Hell Josh Allen outplayed Watson for the majority of the game but the Bills left him time at the end after leaving points on the field all day long and he made them pay. Now the Chiefs D is not as good as the Bills ,but the Chiefs O will not leave so many points on the field that Watson has an opportunity to put one incredible drive together at the end to win it.

I suppose my only concern would be the Chiefs D reverting back to their worst and allowing the Texans scoring drives when the Texans/Watson are playing their usual meh offense.

Is Houston the team that blows a 6-2 lead in the top of the 8th 4th quarter?

I actually think our D is playing better than buffalo lately but I agree with everything else.

i love you.


/just a bit of homo.

#unfinishedbusiness

Nothing for love but my peeps here. :insert Ron Paul it’s happening GIf:

Even the ones being pussies and thinking that the Chiefs past playoff failures with dogshit leftovers at QB have any bearing on this season.

See you guys tomorrow

1-7 in our last 8 home playoff games will do that to a fanbase.

Man they should have a gigantic tarp over the field at arrowhead to keep it dry, no idea why they don't do that.

Or maybe they do? I'm worried they have such faith in the field draining and heating technology that they don't need to put a tarp over it, but maybe I'm wrong

Like I said earlier... games QBed by garbage game managers (other teams’ trash) like Steve Bobo, Elvis Grbac, Matt Cassel, and Alex Smith are meaningless.

It’s like flipping a coin. Just because I got 1 heads and 7 tails in my last 8 flips doesn’t have any effect on what I get on my next flip.

With a coin flip, it’s a true 50/50 prop each time. Fortunately, the Chiefs have a much better chance than 50/50 tomorrow.

According to ESPN's computer, the Chiefs probability to win is 89%.

Looking at the teams head-to-head:

Our offense is ranked in the top 5, their's is something like 15th. Our offense is more efficient, both in yards/play and points/play. We score about 28.5 points/game, they score about 23. Our OL is ranked in the top 10, their's around 20th. We gave up 25 sacks, they gave up 49.

On defense, we're ranked in the top 10, they're ranked somewhere around 20th. Our defense only gives up 3rd down conversions about 34% of the time, theirs about 50%. We can consistently generate a pass rush with our down four DL, they can't. To get pressure, they will have to manufacture it by bringing LBs/S/CBs. Our secondary can play man and put the brakes on Hopkins and Fuller. Their secondary can't play man against Hill, Watkins (who didn't play in the first game), and Hardman. And they have no answer for Kelce.

And our rushing defense has finally turned the corner with the addition of Pennel, Clark getting healthy and the addition of Suggs. Also, Hitchens didn't play in that game either. Say what you want about his play, he's been consistently getting our front-7 lined up properly pre-snap. And it's made a big difference.

Carlos Hyde won't be running wild in this match-up.

And that right there is probably the biggest reason they won that game. If you look closely, Watson didn't beat us with his arm. He threw 30-42 for 280 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Not great. It was their running game that beat us.

And that won't happen tomorrow.

And as for coaching. Even without Andy's incredible record after a bye, he's far better than Bill O'Brien. Billy O' doesn't do anything better than Andy.

Spags is better in all respects than Crennel. And Spags is far better at making adjustments.

As long as something ridiculous doesn't happen, like a meteor crashing into the Chiefs sideline during the game, we got this, people.

Quick question? Would you guys want to resign Breeland or draft a CB.

FYI Ward and Breeland led all CB Duos in the least passer rating combined in the NFL

How exactly does one redecorate sign somebody?

As expected...

Addae is a big loss though. They’re already without Gipson. Being down to your 3rd FS against this offense with an already bad secondary could be disastrous.

Hasn't he been nursing a groin injury? Those are kind of scary. Was he full practice all week? If not, I'm gonna guess he's only about 75%. Spags will find a way to put him in a closet.

Not to mention one of their premier corners is Phillip Gaines LMAO

He will re injure it in the first quarter. This guy is glass. Even if he was 100% he probably wouldnt finish the game healthy. Great talent but just isnt built to play football.

Thier secondary is not very good.

Their CB Jonathan Joseph is also listed as questionable

I predict he will not finish the game. Sprinting 50yds down the field full bore on a gimped up groin. Texans just trying to make us waste time game planning for him.

I don't necessarily agree about the DC comparison. Crennel has always been good.

Sucks for Addae, hate to see bad things happen to good peo... lol jk, **** that dirty bitch.

BOTH.

Bring back Phillip Gaines.

I think it'd be a smart idea to replace any exiting players with a cheaper veteran plus a draft pick whenever possible.

Corners in particular, because they're so expensive.

I'd like to keep Breeland if it's reasonable cap-wise.

I'm getting onto the extend/re-sign Chris Jones train though. It all starts up front.

I think Crow was in a reasonable spot when he suggested Breeland will cost around $9M per year over 3 years. Steven Nelson ish.

I think you'd do that in a heartbeat, don't you?

so from a Cardinals fan perspective that knows nothing about the Bluejays. How does Ravens=Bluejays?

My biggest concern about the Texans is that their RB's will exploit our LB's in the passing game. Most every team that tries it is successful. The Texans have the personnel to be very successful at it.

same thing Reid did with Hill in his first games back, used him as a decoy on a lot of plays.

If the playoffs go solid for him, yeah, I probably would. Although I wonder if they won’t offer that deal to Fuller due to his versatility, prioritizing it over Breeland who is a pure corner.

How can you defend this combination of quickness and speed?

If things work out the way I think they will in the TEN vs. BAL game, something to remember:

HOU had to play last week and went to OT to win. They're going to be fatigued. They're running game isn't probably going to last down the stretch. They're OL/DL will get gassed early, if the Chiefs can force them to run around early.

Perceived “best team” in sport. MVP on the squad. Flashy/hot.

FYP

Destiny is at hand. Chiefs have to come out and take care of busines tomorrow.

Need to blow the Texans up from the get go. Score TDs and play defense like they have the past six weeks.

Golden opportunity lies before us gentleman...get it done.
