Just remember that the Ram's vaunted defense gave up over 400 yards to Kirk Cousins.

Any given Sunday.

I ain't worried.

Eh, this is a different animal all together.

The Rams have some stars, then some blah.

The Jags are pretty fricking stacked everywhere

I tell these jags fans all the time how they could have had Mahomes instead of fournette. My oh my.

Chiefs open as 3 point favorites, sounds about right.

The Jags are one of the more overrated squads this year.

As long as we don't beat ourselves with stupid shit (never will rule it out completely) I think this one will be a solid win. Never ever will sell me on Blake Bortles.

I think the Lambs are more overrated than the Jags. Seriously, they're in a shit division, the best team they've beaten are the Chargers, and they've played three of four games at home. Whoopty-****ing-doo.

Don't care.

I expect a defensive battle. Our D WILL show up on Sunday. Bank on it.

They're both pretty overrated.

Baltimore is playing well right now and the Bengals lost only 1 game without Burfict. We still gotta play them both.

Look at who they've beat.

Giants 20 to 15
Pats 31 to 20
Jets 31 to 12

And lost to the Titans 6 to 9

They're a good team but damn. That list doesn't scream unstoppable juggernaut.

Mahomes Vs Bortles in Arrowhead.

I like my chances.

This is the type of unfair match up at QB that drove me nuts, because I"m used to looking up at the OTHER team's QB.

Now I just feel like KC has an unfair advantage in almost every match up.

Yes!

With the bottom 2 teams sweating to death in their home uniforms. This is a very winnable game.

Yes!

Jags are still a very inconsistent team. They can whoop anyone's ass, but they also can easily lose to the worst teams in football.

Chiefs have to come to play and play physical.

Rainy weather in the forecast suggests that running the ball may be paramount. Luckily, KC got that rolling a bit last night. They don't have their power back who is made for these types of games, but KC does. However, they have the best CB duo in football to match up with our star receivers. Mahomes has to be on point Sunday inside and more importantly outside the pocket because in order to beat this defense for big chunks, plays will have to be extended.

I don't fear Bortles in the slightest, or anyone on their entire offense for that matter. This is the game where the defense has a chance to step up and lead the team to a win at home.

I think the Chiefs hang 30 on the Jags. They have faced 4 bad offenses so far. New England is included because they didn't have any WRs.

I've read that the Jags defense struggles against 2 WR formations but is lethal vs 3 WR sets.

I expect that the Jags will do what the Broncos did and put their best corner on Kelce all night.

The Donks clearly picked up on a hot read that Mahomes likes, which is Kelce on the slant/intermediate seam.

They put Chris Harris there all night and it gave the Chiefs problems when the blitz was on.

If they want to put Bouye or Ramsey on Kelce, fine by me. That means you've got Hill or Watkins, or even the other WRs in a good matchup.

Their 3rd CB is DJ Hayden. Very beatable.

The Jaguars are actually having some ball security problems. They aren’t really taking the ball away but they are giving the ball away. They have the worst TO differential in the league at -4. They have fumbled 8 times already (lost 4) to go along with 3 INTs.

I think with this being a road game they struggle offensively and give us a few short fields and we win 31-17.

Yes.

Build an early lead on the Jaguars and Blake Bortles is going to hand you the win.

Pulled this team comparison from Jags Forum:

Defenses:
Points allowed per game- Jax 14.0 (1st), KC 28.8 (25th)
Yards allowed per game- Jax 259.2 (1st), KC 451.8 (32nd)
Sacks- Jax and KC tied, 10.0 (12th)
Interceptions- KC 2 (21st), Jax 1 (27th)
Forced Fumbles- KC 3 (15th), Jax 1 (30th)

Offenses:
Points per game- KC 36.2 (1st), Jax 22.0 (22nd)
Yards per game- KC 410.2 (8th), Jax 380.0 (15th)
Rushing yards per game- Jax 113.5 (13th), KC 113.0 (14th)
Rushing yards per attempt- Jax and KC tied, 4.3 (13th)
Passing yards per game- KC 297.2 (9th), Jax 266.5 (15th)
Passing/QBs rating- KC 126.5 (1st), Jax 93.6 (18th)
3rd down percentage- KC 49% (3rd), Jax 45% (8th)

The Broncos actually put a LB on Kelce in the 2nd half.....and that's when he started beasting.

Watkins needs to play this game. They can’t match up on all of these guys.

All we need to know about the Jags is that they lose in week 5 in an utter landslide.

If you think the Mahomes hype is exorbitant now, just wait until after that game.

The Jags are HIGHLY overrated.

FAX

Very very interdasting.

I presume you are correct Mr. Tegu

They're like Denver's defense on steroids and supplements. They've got great CBS, fast LBs and they can get consistent pressure from their down linemen. All of their pass rushers are pretty generic, but I'm not sure how we'll fare against Calais Campbell. He may be a problem.

Offensively, they've got a great o-line but not the greatest weapons. Bortles will likely have time so we need to stop the run to create some 3rd and longs then maintain tight coverage downfield.

The Jaguars have a great OL? wat

I have to watch them every week. Bortles consistently has time to sit back and scan the field.

Yeah well they've never had to face a formidable pass rusher like Brandon Speaks or Kpasso.

Imagine the Mahomes hype if he goes out and crushes Jax and Brady in NE. Especially if the D has good showings. It'll get out of control.

It's already out of control. If they crush the Jags and the Brady's then i'd imagine we'd be the SB favorites, even over the Rams who are most people's #1.

The Rams still haven’t played out of state and have had three home games. We will know more about them soon.

I would argue we have by far the toughest schedule in the NFL, Bring em on I say.

They spent billions on an All-Pro OG. Some other really good guys on that line. Not sure how their backup LT is playing since their starter went down.

Parnell is pretty average, they are playing a back up Left Tackle, Norwell has been a real disappointment so far and McCann is uh...there I guess.

Linder is a dang good Center, but I don't think he played against the Jets and I have no idea how much he's injured. If Houston and Ford don't play like brokedicks, honestly they should feast this game.

I like our quarterback.

Perhaps the unit is greater than the sum of its parts.

I just checked the stats and Bortles has only been sacked 6 times. There are only a handful of QBs who have been sacked less. Their team rushing numbers are pretty much identical to ours so they're pretty good there too.

You're entitled to your opinion but I'd say they're pretty damned good.

You're entitled to your own opinion also, but I'd say that's a result of a bunch of dink and dunk shit. Alex Smith is throwing for more yards in the air than Bortles, which is all that needs to be said.

I watch them every week too....I don't think they are as good as you believe but I also don't think they are bad....more of an average line.

It sounds like you think Calais Campbell is going to do something Von Miller couldn't....if you have been watching as much as you say then you know Campbell hasn't been as good as last year.

I also think you are overestimating Bortles...He self destructs just as easily as he plays well. Plus they are working with young receivers who sometimes get the dropsies.

It is going to be a good game, but I think home field advantage will help KC win.

This will make us happy!

Not to be a pessimist or anything but this is worth mentioning.

When was the last time a KC QB had a GREAT game at Arrowhead? I feel like the fans put a lot of pressure cuz KC eats QB's alive

Last weekend??

I said GREAT game, he only had 3 touchdowns.. that Chicago Bears QB threw 6 goddamn TD's, 5 is the norm for a good game. Keep up man!

Mahomes also did not look like himself, he missed some easy throws for him... he makes those throws in college. Just sayin'

I bet when your mom is done blowing you I bet you say "I've had better"

I admit, these posts are coming out of me due to being spoiled by the Great One. If it came off that way, I apologize. You see, I am just a Mahomo.

Giants offense is horrible right now. Patriots game was 100 degrees. Tennessee Played Gabbert and a hurt Mariota. This gives them a 14 point average. We'll more than double that Sunday.

Maybe it'd because we've never had great quarterbacks in Arrowhead

Mahomes first start he throws 3 TD but we are worried about him not being "great enough" in Arrowhead?

Wat

Teams in the AFC North have to be facing tough schedules with the strength of each of those teams, yes this included Cleveland, which isn't that bad at all and will only get better.

Have we heard anything on the guys injured last night?

Yes. They both just had tightness in the area.

Anything on Kelce? Dude looked very lethargic out there.

I got Sunday's theme song



Go on, move to it if you have to.

In Reidese that means they have both died

Yeah, they're either dead or it's just a little toightness

You may be right, but Idk. Alex dinked and dunked throughout his time here in KC and yet he was sacked like 45 times per year on average.

I feel like we need some more advanced statistics and I'm just too lazy to look into it.

Um, Campbell had 14.5 sacks last season and is on pace for 12 more this season. He was a ****ing beast last season and he's a ****ing beast this season.

The Von Miller comparison isn't even noteworthy. Miller was matched up with our best OL who, historically, does pretty well against him. Campbell will be matched up against Erving, Morse, and LDT. That has potential bloodbath written all over it.

And I never even said shit about Bortles except that he'd likely have a lot of time in the pocket. I'm not pretending like the guy is good, but if Sutton drops seven or eight all game he could find a rhythm. He'll almost certainly have some scrambles for nice gains as well.

The Jags defense also allows a league-low 164 passing yards per game. That's insane. We had a decent game against a trash Case Keenum and still gave up 250 yards through the air.

They match up with us quite well and that worries me a bit.

A big part of the responsibility is on the staff. We've seen it with the Chief's coaching carousel before, this is different. Get the team relaxed, ready and hungry. Showtime will do the rest.

Agreed, notable difference and that's why we paid him.

Their defense is a notch or a hundred above ours.

Let's not forget, Sutton's kids aren't gladiators.

some perspective. **** THE JAGWADS. SHOWTIME BABY!!!!

They are the sacks of meat the Romans tossed to the Lions.

Some BIG names on the Jags injury report.

Not practicing: Fournette, Brandon Linder (C), Andrew Norwell (LG), Seferian-Jenkins (TE), DJ Hayden (CB).

Jesus that DL is stacked. Holy hell, i'd take just 1 of those guys and they have 6

So this is now the 3rd time the Chiefs are playing a defense playing the Seattle scheme, this is the most talented team doing it though.

I heard this morning there are 12 teams in the league that are playing 2 schemes...no wonder offense is up you're seeing the same schemes constantly.

4 of the Jags starting OL are on the injury report. Gotta take advantage of that.

LF is officially OUT for the game sunday in KC.


90% chance of thunderstorms....so it doesn't hurt my feelings at all that their top runner is out.

DJ Hayden, their slot CB, is also OUT.

Gunna be a rain game. Not sure if that helps or hurts us.

Great. Just ****ing great. Spend cash on a great matchup game to watch Mahomes vs an elite pass D and it’s going to be raining heavily.

****

Then watch KHunt gouge them in the rain.

I just checked the forecast as well, it looks very wet. I think that typically hinders the passing team more, but at this point I just can't second-guess our QB in any situation.

If the offense relied entirely on timing, it would hurt. But Mahomes is one of the best improvisers in the NFL. With him extending pass plays and Hunt pounding the ball on the ground, I don't think the rain will be much of a detriment.

I agree i think its going start looking like snow but that's just jizz from the upper balconies after touchdowns.

Rain game is to the Jags favor. It won’t be easy for teams to catch the ball and we have serious trouble stopping the run.

Damnit

Rain games are better for offenses. Defenses have to play reactive, offenses know where they're going.

That's not bad for the Chiefs.

I generally agree but Mahomes has been making money evading tacklers. I think a slick field makes it harder for him to scramble as he's more likely to slip, etc.

Absolutely.

Makes me think of KC/BUF from 2015. The receivers were open all the time in the rain.

This will probably be another ugly game for the offense. Hopefully they can avoid turnovers as they did in Denver and make clutch plays in the 4th quarter to win.
