I have seen a number of them elsewhere talking like that. Blows my mind how people can think this. The Pats have shown they are not dead until they are dead.

How can anybody in their right mind be thinking like this, given what happened the last game played between the two teams in Week 6?

It’s one thing to point out certain advantages that the Chiefs may have going into this game (as I did earlier in this thread), but to suggest the Pats are going to just roll over on their backs and die is LUDICROUS, as they have been here many times before & do know how to prepare for this type of fanfare. The Chiefs will have to be better prepared this time & be more ready this time than they were in Week 6.

We are at home
Brady’s washed up
The Pats haven’t won a road playoff game in 10 years

Are just some of the things I have seen them boast about how the Chiefs will roll over them. Granted it’s not a whole lot of them but there is that element there.

1) Yes, the Chiefs are at home. It is an advantage, yes. But, it doesn’t etch anything in stone. I still think KC will have to play better, all the way around, than what they did against Indy.

2) So they think Brady is washed up? Just how many teams out there would give their testicles for a “washed up” QB that threw for 29 TD’s, over 4000 yards, and only 11 INTS in 570 pass attempts? Brady is still Brady & the Chiefs will need to put him under the hardest pass-rush that he has seen all year, as well as cover his receivers like a blanket every time Brady decides to throw.

3) The Chiefs had never won a post-season game on a natural grass surface in 49 years since Super Bowl IV until they defeated Indy last Saturday. It is one thing to have confidence, but some of these individuals are getting way too high minded & arrogant. It’s also another thing to assess what the Chiefs need to do to win, but these people are already acting like victory is etched in stone & you can’t do that, as the game still has to be played. BTW, the Super Bowl is on the road for both teams that play it, and the Pats did win it in both 2014 and 2016.

Kevin Keitzman needs to seriously STHU. That was the same guy that argued to keep Elvis Grbac’s offense around longer than we did. Generally he gets more annoying around baseball season.

Sounds like he was probably all for Grbac playing that entire 1997 AFC playoff game against the Donkeys & leaving Rich Gannon on the bench. We saw how that worked out & it was predictable that the Chiefs would lose and Grbac’s poor play was was the main reason, as the Chiefs couldn’t generate the points that needed to win.

……… Fully expect them to come out swinging and landing punches. Period. Elway would sign up Brady in a heart beat if he could.

I expect the same & the Chiefs have to be able to counter-punch every time they do get punched, which is what we saw against Indy.

Nobody should expect the Pats to just roll over on their backs and die. With that said, the Chiefs CAN do the types of things it takes to defeat NE. They (and that means ALL the players and coaches) simply have to be READY and have to be PREPARED to do those things on Sunday and NEVER QUIT. In the 1993 AFC Championship game against Buffalo, it seemed like Joe Montana and Marcus Allen were ready, but the rest of the team & its coaches were not, and it seemed like the team gave up at a certain point.

No, Brd – It was even worse. Keitzman was saying that crud after the ’99 season when the team went 7-9 under Cunningham. Long after the point when we knew big changes were needed, cue Dick Vermeil.

I also think we’ve upgraded in the pass blocking in getting Ware back. West was a huge liability! Also I don’t know if LDT will start or not but having the DR back sure makes me feel better depth wise on our Oline. Oh Eric Berry being back and our linebackers all healthy just spell trouble for the visiting Patriots. We are full strength! Let’s go win the Lamar Hunt trophy and bring it Home to stay!!!

Ueah i dont trust west at pass blocking either after he got blown up last weekend. Hes just not that big to pass block. I hope williams starts and ware is a backup. Im getting better and better feelings as the week goes along. Glad we are healthy.
