Game Thread: Divisional Round Chiefs @ Patriots; Saturday 4:25 ET on CBS

[Jakology]

11 wins in a rows no matter who you play is good. AFCW is not ajunk conference anymore and Smith had gone over 300 passes w/o an int this season, and your calling him out. Your evaluation is worse that Matt Millen

Alex Smith just isn't a great QB. I assumed everybody knew that by now. He knows how to protect the ball. That's about it.

Your one of the few who thinks Cam Newton is a great QB and I assumed you knew that. Now he may be one day, time will tell. I think Smith doesnt need to be great just good anyways. When you have a stout D, just have a QB that isnt a T/O machine

ah well, it may sting for a minute, but i'll get over it. it's the Pats moment and my hat's truly off to them. they showed why they continue to be elite imo...

don't let it go to your heads, though...

NE played lights out for the first time in a quarter season and KC still gave them a good game. NE resurrected OL was the difference .
The Pats luckiest play of the game was bigger than many thought. The NE d was dead

Good luck next year KC ...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Lot of missed opportunities if you're a KC fan right now. At the same time, a lot of optimism for next year when they get most everyone healthy. I have a lot of faith in Dorsey to make the proper moves in the offseason. This team has staying power for the time being. I haven't seen a 1 dimensional offense make this defense look mediocre/worse in over 2 years; Brady yet again is well... Bradyish.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Saying the Chiefs were frauds because they were defeated by one of the top teams in football is beyond stupid.

Yep. Losing by 7 in NE is far from shameful. I wish we had more depth and experience at WR so that losing Maclin isn't such a schematic problem, but that's something for the draft/FA. Calling them frauds is ridiculous, imo.

 

[PatsFan2003]

I'm just so, so glad to see the Patriots play like we're used to. KC was pretty tough and wouldn't go down.

 

[Rex Racer]

It means the Chiefs are going to shut down the Pats dink and gronk offense.
Chiefs 20 - 14

No

brady tried to give the game away on that last play....100 lb horseshoe up his ass.

I still question why teams refuse to double up gronk or edelman all game??? Plus they are crippled I'm not even sure if they could make it all the way to the SB if they win next week.

Why? Wouldn't you rather ruin the dreams of old washed up Peyton all over again?

...nah,....let Pittsburgh do [our] dirty-work.....or.....at least ''rough-up'' Peyton a bit just-in case we have to go out there.

I really don't think the Pats care who wins tomorrow.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Brady is about as close to a singular reason for winning as it gets. They pulled out every stop in the book to neutralize the passrush with ultra quick 3 step drops and spread formations to force the defense's hand. You can't do that if you have even a merely very good QB; you'll get annihilated with even minor ball placement errors. Sometimes you just got to throw up your arms in the air and admit Brady is in the GOAT discussion with good reason.

As for the Chiefs, for all the talent they have on defense, it can't stop Brady all the time. The depth on offense is sorely lacking and that showed up quite a bit today.
