Wade is getting figured out...it was a new defense at the start of the season but now teams have tape.
Like I said well over a month ago....getting "lucky" has a way of evening out. I predicted that Denver was a 9-7 team with the ball bouncing their way. Now they have real teams coming up...a benched QB, two game skid and a season-low confidence level.

Could be, I suppose, but I doubt it. If you want me to believe that the franchise put getting Manning the records over winning and doing what's best for the club, I think you're nuts. Everything doesn't have to involve a conspiracy theory.
I do think it's incredibly tough to bench a guy like Peyton when you are 7-1, and at home vs a 3 win team.
Wade is getting figured out? Is that why KC had an average starting field position of midfield and they kicked all those FGs? Please.
Great play on that 80 yard TD, but the defense (even without a couple of stars) held the Chiefs to a whole lot of FGs. The offense did them no favors with keeping them on the field.
I hope they suck it up and put Manning on the shelf for a month. Let's see what Brock can do, hell it's a perfect time to do it considering the cushion they have and the fact that he's a FA after this season. Let's see what the freakish QB can do, then re-evaluate it before the final 3-4 games.
No harm there at all.
Yesterday was a great win for KC and you guys have certainly suffered through some beatings with Denver and Manning, so I can only imagine the sense of relief and positive feelings.
Bottom line is this... there's a dog fight going on right now for the 5th/6th seeds. KC and OAK are sitting there at 4-5 with lots of key games.
All the momentum you guys have right now can be lost in an instant if they trip @ San Diego this week. As I said last week, your playoffs started yesterday and the Chiefs passed the first test... seven more on deck. No rest for the weary.
Denver has some soul searching to do here, but the performance from the last two weeks and the injuries should finally allow them to accept the notion of letting Brock take the reigns for the next 3-4 games. There's no real downside quite honestly.
