Colts have impressed me with the way their young defense has been able to get after it. But that stops this weekend IMO. They are going up against an absolute offensive juggernaut and KC will not be one and done this year.

The Colts resume of teams they have beaten isn't too impressive and they haven't really gone up against a QB that can pour it on like Mahomes, which is the main difference here. 

Bills, Dolphins, Jags, Cowboys, Texans, Titans, Giants are just a few of the teams. You can make a case for the Texans however Colts have had there number for years now. 

Arrowhead will be rocking, Reid is itching after seeing Pederson (former asst of his) win the superbowl with the very same team that he failed year over year with. Colts can keep up offensively however Luck is good for at least 2 INT's IMO and I can't say the same for Mahomes.

You can say the same about the resume of teams that KC has beaten.  the caliber of competition is the same KC > Oakl twice /Denver twice/ SanFran / Arizona / Cinn / Jags.. The most important part is KC's last 4 home games ie Oak / LAC /Balty/ Arizona / not a murderers  row of the elite. Arizona gave them a fight with a trash rookie QB and Balty also with High school QB Lemar ..the one team that went in there with a quality QB and defense during the 4 game series was LAC...Lucks been around and can throw the rock..and Mack can run it..lets see what he can do vs one of the worst run Defense in the NFL....yes thats right KC...with their 5.0 run defense and their shoddy PA defense.

If it were not for the 3 teams in the 4 game set turning the ball over  ie .Oak..Arizona and Balty. The last 2 could have beat KC. Just remember this fellas...KC gave up 24 pure points per game during their 3 game home set and cant stop the run @ 5.0 YPC..Mack will have a field day control clock and keep his high flying KC offense on the sidelines...lol....Indy gave up 10 pppg on defense to the same caliber of teams , and hes talking Indy has played the weakest schedule in the NFL fake teams..lol. Kc played Oakland twice / Arizona / San Fran/ Jacksonville / Denver twice...yeah Denver was a real good team got beat by safran / jets / Raiders...that weak texas team and the Browns...hahha. Talk about weak schedules. Pay attention to the last 4 game series ea team has played ( RECENT FORM)

Wizer, your hate for Chiefs is clouding your vision super, super hard.  It has already been proven.  Indy had the easiest schedule and KC had the toughest amongst the remaining playoff teams.

 

Not only has Indy had the easiest schedule of all teams this season but the level of defenses Andrew Luck faced were the easiest within the LAST 3 SEASONS!

 

I mean you just can't make this up folks.

 

Proof:

Meanwhile, if you haven't been paying attention the Chiefs you wouldn't realize that the Chiefs have been coasting a large portion of the back half of the season.  Once Hunt got released and Watkins was out, the team started dialing it back on both side.  Now they are going to go full throttle.  Colts won't score more than 24.  Book it.  Chiefs won't score less than 31.

 

I sound cocky because I've done my homework on this matchup.  For the Chiefs, it was all season long.  For the Colts it was last few weeks.

 

I will come back here tomorrow and I will make sure not to gloat too hard.  Promise.  an_wink

For the Chiefs it was all season long...for the Indy it was the last few weeks. Its what have you done for me lately in the NFL. Recent form. Throw your overall tough schedule for KC out the window. That don't mean Jack in relation to this game. That tough schedule was played on the road. ie Seattle / LA.Rams / / New England..they lost those games. You're at home now toto .Here's the tough schedule KC has played at home Oak / LAC/ Balt / Arizona /Denver..lol / Bengals ?/ San Fran ?..lol..real tough home schedule there. One Good QB in that bunch ( Rivers) . When you learn to separate your home stats from your road stats and compare the caliber of competition in those games and how each team fared ie win margin vs their average opponents power rating...then you've done the real homework on this game. clouded vision ?...beats being blind

Eaxh teams biggest weakness?

KC= defense is in the bottom 3

Indy= strength of schedule MAYBE

I’m trying to look at this neutrally here.

The whole strength of schedule thing is moot at this time of year imo especially when key components of a team rank very high. O line, defense efficiency, special teams, MVP type qb.

Can someone else give me a true weakness for Indy? If you were KC I’m the bye week, what stands out on Indy that you want to exploit? What would you try to attack? Valid questions here imo.

Penalties could play a huge role in this one today. The crew for this game is middle of the pack in regards of penalties thrown but if both teams push the ball down the field, we could see some PI calls that extend drives.

You have to be much more specific to spot the weaknesses. As a whole, Indy is one of the best all around teams there is. 

Indy´s weakness is covering the Tight End. They have no way to stop Kelce. They have been burnt all season, and take into account that their division rivals have some of the weakest tight ends in the NFL. How do you scheme against Kelce? Teams with personnel better suited for that, try week after week and fail. 

On defense, the key for KC is to stop Mack. Dare Luck to win it. But that is no simple quest when you have the worst D against the run.

So last week uninvited, unprovoked you come into my thread and call me a douchebag....you also show how much of a true d@ck you are after the Philly game yet now you come in here as if nothing was said? Brotha, go start your own thread. Nothing you say weighs an ounce in here for me. Thanks.

Very interesting how the weather could come into play here and here is why I say that: when it’s wet, whether there is rain or snow, that gives the offense a huge advantage. The offense knowing the plays and the defense somewhat having to react....it puts a lot of strain on a defense with footing issues. We could see some points surprisingly in that both teams now may just want to attack in the passing game. If Indy abandons the run game, I think they are crazy because I truly feel that is their ticket to WINNING this game. Both teams will have the itch to go through the air with these two strong arm qbs, but the run game is gonna be the key. HUUUUGE advantage for the Colts but do they stay disciplined in trying to be somewhat balanced? We’ll see. Also I had stated in here special teams WILL play a mammoth role in this one. Vinny has kicked some huge field goals in this type weather before so if it comes down to it, you’d have to lean his way with the game on the line. I thought this game would be the most intriguing game all weekend but now with this weather continuing on, it’s gonna be a chess match and a fun one. The total has dipped 3 points now and I would t be surprised if we still go over there. First instinct here when people see the snow will be to take the under but these two qbs and these two play callers could be stubborn in pushing that ball. Can’t wait!

When it comes to footing in football with rain/snow issues...there's a saying I heard a long time ago that I will never forget.

When the offense runs the ball, it puts the D line on skates.

When the offense passes the ball, it puts the O line on skates.

A fairly simple but true concept. Most will understand this saying...oh wait it's covers, maybe 40% will get it.

Any who, If I'm the Colts I would stick with whatever game-plan they got despite the weather. Their oline is a weapon, so I would run as much as I could if I were them. Get down in a 3 point and block forward, instead of in a two point and stepping backwards.

If KC does anything good on D it's rushing the passer.

Good Luck Everyone.

Do the schedules play each other or do the teams? All this talk of schedules. Why not talk about the men playing?

Maybe I should go on the Today Show like Cody did after the debacle here! Ha!!! Oh well!!! CONGRATS CHIEFS BACKERS. They looked very good as Luck looked disinterested today. We move on. 

114-76 on the season now.
