Just you wait...a 21 interception game is coming

Only guys like Case Keenum and Derek Carr can protect the ball.

ROFL

That sucks, but at least you don’t have to live in Jacksonville. This place is nothing more than a place to stop and take a leak on the way to Orlando.

For 3.5 yards a pop.

I have no earthly idea why people act as though Fournette has been this beastly hard to stop running back. It takes him an ETERNITY to get to the LOS.

I'm not really concerned about the rest of the NFL, just specifically the Chiefs' tackling.

He's technically a DE but they move him inside a shit ton.

You're probably going to want to mute it but this highlight vid from last year shows how frequently they kick him inside.

Or Deshaun. Lol

This. I listen to it all the time. They still think they're in a college league. They know nothing about the NFL. And this especially includes the broadcast teams.

They were quoted on the radio about hoping Mahomes goes deep. Showing no respect for him. This is awesome.

yeah. Patrix interceptions will most always be of the sort Brady suffered earlier tonight.

we got this game sheeeiit

I think they're going to try to bring pressure up the middle and put their DEs in contain, not allowing Mahomes to get out of the pocket.

It's going to be interesting.

The oline goes against Jones in practice they will be fine with Mahomes back there

Even if they're running horizontally, the Chiefs still can't tackle for shit.

Some amazing matchups in this one.

Jack/Smith on Kelce/Harris
Ramsey/Bouye on Watkins/Robinson and Conley
Hill on a reserve slot corner
Fisher/Schwartz against Ngakwe/Campbell/Bryan

This is gonna be a classic game.

Mahomes has never seen a defense as good as the one Jacksonville has. Not many teams have. That defense is absolutely stacked and our offense is just as stacked.

I can see a game that Jacksonville might have the personnel to force Mahomes into a bad game if they score early....but I can see it playing out with Mahomes throwing strike after strike and Reid calling a balanced attach that opens up some big passing plays.

It’s gonna be very entertaining to see how it plays out.

Wish this game wasn't in the rain. Not gonna help the offense any trying to throw it around in a downpour.

Always go with the better QB at home...with better coaching.

Lol. Cute.

Bortles 2018 QBR

Home
101.1

Road
67.2

Arrowhead is going be jacked...weather might be an issue. I'll take Mahomes/Hunt in shitty conditions....Hunt never fumbles.

Officiating may be slanted in this one...Chiefs have the most hyped player in the NFL. He is slated to face off with Brady next week on SNF...they already know they have a ratings clunker with Cowboys vs. Texans.

Undefeated Mahomes against a legend...at home. Rematch of the season opening rout...

Jags have the most penalty yards in the league so expect them to get flagged a lot seems to be par for the course.

Anyone with Blake Bortles at QB shouldn't be calling anyone a fraud.

I posted this somewhere else, but it seems worth a repeat...

So, the Jags defense is good. But, after spending some time looking at who they played, and how those teams have played in the other three games, I don't think the Jags defense is out-of-this-world good. The Titans game is the only aberration, where they held a team to unusually low points.

Giants - held to 15 points. Cowboys D held them to 13 and Saints held them to 18 points. ( Eli and the whole offense is terrible )
Patriots - held to 20 points. Lions D held them to 10 points the following week. ( Pats doing their usual slow start )
Jets - held to 12 points. Dolphins held them to 12 points and the Browns held them to 17 points. ( Rookie QB came back to earth after week 1 )

I think the defense is going to be comparable to the Broncos and the Jags offense is hurting and missing the playmakers they had in the past. And our experience playing against a good defense last week will help this week.

The Jags defense is still top of the line it just isn't quite as good as it was last year because some of their key guys mainly their DL are starting to age.

Their talent level is very high level but here's the difference that's it just how they play, with talent. They don't disguise much or really do anything exotic or confusing. They play like 3 defenses all game and go, you can't beat our talent..it's when when a team like Pitt can beat their defense it turns into 40 points.

As Chiefs fans all too often in the past we have been in the situation the Jaguars find themselves in with a top defense and generic play it safe offense. Like them we always convinced ourselves we were better due to experience, defense, run game or something else. But it basically never worked out that way when playing a top QB.

The defense, though talented, would get somewhat exposed when confronted with an elite offense. The defensive ranks it would turn where a bit elevated due to some weaker opponents. They would play okay but not good enough to overcome the offensive issues, especially on the road. More importantly the other QB would make the one or two plays needed to extend drives and put up an extra couple of TDs with us kicking field goals instead. As a fan base we were left with the classics like “we were better” or “if only this pass was completed.”

That is where the Jags are now. They simply won’t be able to score enough. Denver gave everything, physically and emotionally, in a home game and we still pulled it out at the end. I don’t see the Jaguars being able to do anything different to keep us below 30 points at home which will not be good enough for them to win.

All true, but my only fear is Andy's tendency to take his foot off the gas at the same time Sutton goes to playing his bend-then-snap game.

Minimally Andy needs to understand we have to try go for the throat every time we have the ball, and Sutton needs a shock collar and the CP crowd gets to decide when the button is pressed. If he goes "prevent" (when it's stupid to do so), we click!

Ain't it grand.

You guys have convinced me.

LET'S DO THIS!

Cheetahs are faster than Jaguars.

Looks like precipitation percentages have dropped for Sunday

It was 85-95% yesterday; now 35-50.

That favors the Chiefs passing attack, IMO.

This is a concern of mine for our offense if it does rain. Hopefully it doesn't, or if it does, we can still score without turning it over.

I just don’t have a feel for this one.

I think it’s a defensive battle and our defensive seems to take a k I’ve to gun fights

I could be crazy but does anyone else think it may help us to have Henne?

He knows the Jaguars roster/coaching inside and out.

Who do the Jaguars have at FB? That's who we should worry about.

I think KC scores around 27 Sunday. So it’ll come down to whether or not the defense lets Bortles & co. put up more.

I think Chiefs will be incredibly focused but bad weather favors the Jagoffs.

Don't think I've ever seen someone get up and go "know the rules" in such a smug way before.

I love how all of the media shows are saying that the way to beat the Chiefs/Mahomes is by keeping Pat inside the pocket, having discipline in your pass rush lanes, blah blah blah...

You know, the same hypothetical gameplan that they’ve been suggesting for a decade now to beat Aaron Rodgers. LMAO

Easier said than done.

To be real with the way the rules are now you are not going to shut down elite offenses, it's not possible.

National Weather Service still has a 90% chance for showers on Sunday.

I heard it dropped to more around 50% - fake news?

Jags still do a good job of keeping the score low somehow. I don't think they do it all with pressure either. They are so athletic in coverage and keeping guys in front of them that they don't give up much YAC.

Granted they didn't play anyone that great offense wise. But if their defense held the Pats to 20 points, I'd imagine their goal is to hold the Chiefs offense between 20-30 points and consider that a win. Logic being, the Chiefs defense can't stop anyone. If Blake Bortles and TJ Yeldon beat this defense this forum will explode because those guys are terrible.

...

Yeldon worries me more than Fournette ever did.

Which is sad because he's not good.

That was at home when the Pats were without Gordon, Edelman, and Michel hadn’t got going.

They wouldn’t hold that Pats offense from last night to 20 pts.

It’s interesting to me that JAX is trying to play mind games, bragging about Mahomes at every chance they get.

I don’t think Pat falls for all that.

Ramsey a little disrespectful

A lot of people say this. I get why, it makes sense logically but it isn't true.

Bad weather favors a fast offense. The defense doesn't know what the offensive players are going to do and it's harder to make cuts reacting than it is making cuts offensively when you know what you're about to do.

In fact, the rain favors the Chiefs on both offense and defense. Because Pat's arm is way more likely to cut through the rain than Bortles' is. Kareem Hunt is way more likely to break tackles than Yeldon is. The Chiefs receivers are way more likely to get open in soggy conditions than theirs are.

If it rains I won't be worried at all. Bortles trying to beat us with his legs is something I welcome.

4.19 what?

Very good point!

thank you

I got Jags fans on another forum telling me Tyreek is Devin Hester 2.0

LMAO

It’s hilarious when causal fans have no clue about the rest of the NFL.

Bortles doesn't need rain to turn the ball over, but it would certainly help!

As long as we don't get something like that flash flood game against the Seahawks back in '98, I think we'll be in good shape (although we did win that one!)!

lmao

I mean, he's right, in the sense that 2.0 is usually a huge upgrade over 1.0. All the bugs got worked out and lots of new features got added.

I mean, he is.

And he's also Midget Randy Moss.

ROFL

We are going to find out if this theory is true or false based on what they hold the Chiefs to this Sunday.

Wet footballs never favor the offense. It's hard to catch passes and it's harder not to fumble.

There's a difference between rain before the game and rain DURING the game.

I want to see Hill go off for 200 yards and 3 TDs against these assholes. The Jags have the LBs that can run with Kelce.....so Mahomes is going to have to spread it around during this game.

Egg-freaking-zackly.

It blows my mind that in todays game where even average QB's can sling it, Jacksonville has a guy who should be a backup starting.

Good thing Mahomes has targeted 12 different receivers on 138 attempts, including TD's to 9 of the 12. :D

Can't hurt

I thought they amended the weather report to below 50% now? So that wasn't true?

yeah looks like 78% - not sure where New World Order saw that conflicting report.

For your reference, from the KC/Pleasant Hill NWS office directly.

90% according to the NWS.

Thank you!

Weather.com shows 80%. Not sure where they get their data, though!

Thank you!

Spencer Ware is a mudder

I think we're arguing about different things here.

Wet conditions favor the better offense winning the game, not the better defense winning the game. Does that make more sense?

Was his mother?

Wet conditions during the game increase the likelihood of turnovers. That doesn't favor a finesse offense at all, IMO.

I bristle at "finesse offense" that's not what this is. The Chiefs can EASILY throw to tight ends and Sammy crossing patterns and throw bubble screens to Hunt and Hill all day in the rain. They haven't done Alex Smith bubble screens this entire season but they easily can play that if the conditions demand it. That's not a finesse offense, it's a stacked one. The Chiefs can play just about any way you want.

I bet it doesn't even rain - just this feeling i have.

Carcosa I went to TB and bought a Baha Blast, first time - pretty decent!

It really is! Yesterday I actually got a watered down version at first (low on syrup) and it still tasted pretty good! (Full syrup much better, obvi)

Kareem Hunt can truck a mother****!

If you go to weather.com they give you the hourly precipitation percentages.

This morning, Weather.com showed 35-50% chance of precipitation at gametime.

Now it's in the 60s.
