There’s just no way to soft-sell or overstate the MAGNITUDE of the Chiefs win today.

Opinions may differ, but the Chiefs may have very well taken down the biggest threat to them in this post-season — the Indianapolis Colts. That’s right, I said it, because I really believe that. The Colts are a very good team that on a good day could beat anyone. Plus, we know what they did to KC in the previous 4 playoff encounters. I expect them to be right back in the playoff hunt in 2019.

And the Chiefs won today without any officiating controversies, as far as I know (I haven’t seen the game in its entirety, yet). The Chiefs had some good fortune (the missed FG and PAT by the Colts placekicker), but they didn’t have their O-Lineman grease their jerseys, didn’t get away with massive holding & illegal chop-blocks or illegal pick plays by their receivers, didn’t have absolutely horrific officiating tilt the playing field in their favor, didn’t play a ridiculously easy schedule to get here, didn’t have their DB’s continually getting away with holding opposing team’s receivers (we know exactly who was guilty of the aforementioned in the past, don’t we?).

Hard to believe it has been 25 years since the Chiefs won that playoff game down in Houston when Joe Montana was the QB. Today’s win, to me, was much more meaningful.

Starting tomorrow, it is time to get ready for the next game.

There were a couple of goofy calls by the refs, not many. The one that sticks out in my mind was the holding call against a Colts lineman that “held” Sorensen. Think there was an offsides call that got followed up by a false start call (aka “makeup”) call which was pretty cheesy. Nothing that would’ve changed the outcome of the game, though.

One odd thing to note, yesterday’s game was ironic in that it was the Colt’s kicker’s turn to have a bad game. Like the calls, it wouldn’t have made any difference. Another thing – The Colts are another team that made it to the playoffs with people that have worked with Reid (GM Chris Ballard). Most of the fans on Colts forums credit Ballard with giving Reich enough talent to weather the 1-5 start.

We still have some work to do on the defensive secondary roster but after what we’ve seen the past two games, we are good enough to win two more games. We’ve got a really good front seven. Yesterday the linebackers weren’t out of place at all.
