Chiefs will have to take their chances with the corners they have. WR drops a pass. Throw a bit off. Plenty can happen there even without stellar Corner play. Everything is so magnified in this one game.

Two missed throws by Hurts each half on deep opportunities. Two receiver drops each half. Just a miscommunication  between QB and target in route once each half. That could be the difference in the game. They could get away with those corners.

AR and Spags can’t let us just run though. Worst scenario for them. Us keeping Mahomes off the field is huge for this game.

Lower scoring is our advantage I believe

KC been on the sole mission to win it all. So they have that advantage. We wanted to get to this game.

Mahomes and Hurts I just don’t think can be denied on a final drive. Something not sure if all noticed the competitor in Hurts. Seems like he rises to bigger moments. I’d say I don’t think any moment or game is too big for him. But this game has no equal. So I’ll judge by what occurs.

I’m truthfully worried about Hurts shoulder. Lane I wasn’t sure he could even do it that first playoff game. But now that he did…I feel pretty good about it. Hurts just don’t know how his throwing arm is. Felt like I was talking about recovery time. He did well with a couple weeks to recover. But it hasn’t healed in my view. That one week to the Niners game I thought was telling

So it is what it is with Hurts shoulder. It didn’t heal though. Really kind of sucks. He shouldn’t have needed to push it. 13-1. Team couldn’t win without him. He doesn’t play that final game…it heals completely. 

Five weeks to the playoff game

So this is a major factor. If we fall short. Hurts arm isn’t on. I’ll be looking back at these decisions. I questioned them then.

My biggest worries are Hurts arm. Mahomes arm. Mahomes can just beat us flat out if he’s on fire. But we need Hurts to be hot passing. I’m just pretty much admitting right up front I’m blaming these decisions and what occurred if Hurts arm isn’t doing very well. 

Hurts will guy through anything possible I believe. Warrior!

Maybe it’s not going to be fair to blame his shoulder injury. But I don’t think we can judge poorly against him but so much if he misses a few throws

He’ll gut through it. But he needs touch. Gotta be hot! 

I just don’t see us pulling things out if he doesn’t connect and expose there corners.

There is even the difference of making a guy have to make a great catch…..and hitting him in stride for the YAC.

Everything I had heard about Siri is his belief in YAC.

Goedert, Brown, Smitty and Quez are fantastic with YAC.

That’s the difference maker for our O. Gotta get YAC.

Just feel they have a big experience advantage on us.

They’ve been battling for a SB for several years now

I was feeling part of why we lost the Saints game….was we didn’t want to bust out what we had been working on. New wrinkles they were preparing for the postseason.

Feel fairly confident they took that game just a bit too lightly. But I really believe they’ve been working some different things to bust out for over a month,

Some counters to plays they felt teams had planned for now

Just like that Colts setup. Everybody on their team followed Kelce pulling. Went the other way…wide open.
