They tend to play down to the competition and their defense is nothing special. Need to get Walker out in space though and try to contain Kelce. This could be a make it or break it game for Cody “burnt toast” Barton

Sure, if Geno and the offense can get back to how they were playing in the Arizona and Charger games?

Yep, the Hawks can hang around in the 4th quarter, because KC's defense isn't very good this year. But I have ZERO faith our defense can keep Mahomes and the KC offense under 30 points.

So if the Hawks have any chance, we need mid season Kenneth Walker and Geno to show up on Christmas.

And if Geno can get more than 1 game winning drive the entire season. And maybe stop throwing passes to the defense in the 1st half?

I'm WAY more nervous about the defense than I am the offense, even w/out Tyler.

Right now it’s house money and draft position. Had our chances against Carolina and the 49ers but blew it. The Hawks aren’t there yet. I’d love to make the playoffs but they need to fix several issues like trying to establish an effective run game. Geno hasn’t played that great lately yet he’s getting zero help. This isn’t really a playoff caliber team but they can show some heart to close out the season. Can’t wait for the draft
Also need to try stoping chunk plays defensively on first downs. Defense can’t stop the run yet I think we match up well with KC

I would be shocked if this defense can hold KC to under 30. That's the only way they have a chance to win.

Geno needs to have the best game of his career. They actually need to run the ball.

They need to game plan. I'm asking a lot here, I know

Sure, any team can be "had." The question is, can they be "had" by us? ;)

ZERO chance? Come on. KC just barely beat 2 of the worst teams in football. ANY team can be had on any given Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or any day that ends in Y.
ZERO? Wrong

I think they're just too dynamic for us on paper offensively, I don't know how we'd be able to limit that damage for 4 quarters, but gotta play the game. Maybe we can score 50?

1. We are 5-21 all time in Arrowhead
2. Andy Reid seems a much better "in game" coach than PC.
3. KC is playing for a must have bye and HFA.
4. One of our glaring weaknesses is covering TE's. I hear KC has a decent one.
5. Our run game (which we need to control TOP in this game) is in a funk.
6. We are missing our leading TD WR.
7. Mahomes can extend plays even if we were to put pressure on him.
8. KC just had their third road game in a row. (which can explain the tough games in Denver and Houston)

Yeah, I mean upsets happen and I'll be looking for the secondary to make big plays. I agree with @SoulfishHawk that any given Sunday....

That being said, if Barton ends up in iso coverage against Kelce.....then God have mercy on us all.

No I think we can win, forecast of record low temps in KC. This should hamper their passing attack a little forcing them to employ the run game against our defe....... Oh wait, crap, we're screwed.

We haven't been able to cover a TE since the Reagan administration, Kelce's gonna have six TD's and 300 yards of receiving Sunday.
I would think Jackson would be good for covering TE's. But the way they let Kittle run wide open, I'm sure we'll see the usual vacated zones that Kelce will find.

Maybe if this team had heart, they would have a chance. This team has no heart
Wow, that's the spirit. Is that you, Pitt? :ROFLMAO:
Do I think they will beat them? Absolutely not. But NO CHANCE? GTFOH with that crap.

I heard the same thing when the Hawks played the Saints at home as a 12 point underdog. NO chance. Then Beastquake happened, and maybe Matt's greatest game as a pro.

Why bother playing football if there is NO CHANCE? What a brutal way to look at sports. But do you.........

I've yet to see Jackson cover anyone.

Idk what the hell Tre Brown did to get into Pete's doghouse, but he's healthy and GOT to be a better CB than Jackson.

That team didn't have generationally bad defense and when Matt H was locked in, he was very hard to beat.
