How are they going to stop the Chiefs? Yes, I have also heard all week the Chargers keep things close. But I would like a chargers backer to explain one simple thing to me... What single advantage does their defense have in stopping KC? I just think KC does whatever they want on offense. GL today KC simply doesn't cover. They are 0-8 ats last 8 after DD victory Yeah, and the Chargers are 0-10 after that crazed lady is in the stands. These trends are just looking for patterns in randomness. Unless you can tell me why that would be significant? As in causation. Not correlation. KC doesn't have the killer instinct they had with Mahomes the first couple of years. They know it is all about postseason. Unlike the Pats who in 2007 wanted to win every game by 500, then went 18-0 wearing themself out only to lose the SB. Postseason matters not covering every game because you play 100% all out every game. They also don't have those same crazy weapons they did earlier in Mahomes career. They had speed everywhere with a big target in Kelce and almost scored at will covering covering. Similarly with why Dolphins are tending to cover at home.
I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on the significance of what you posted here.
I like to look at stats and matchups. Im not quite sure that human beings have in their minds that they will play less than 100% because they are saving it for the playoffs.
And the weapons for Mahomes is all baked in.
But all good. Respect.
