"The Chiefs defense is built to stop the Broncos offense." But...

[Frankenchief]

We keep hearing the analysis above all over the tube. Also in this article: http://milehighsports.com/2013/11/13/goodman-broncos-must-beat-the-chiefs/

It's all well and good, but it's all moot when,

1- Tamba Hali is held numerous times during the game and the officials ignore them.

2- Our physical DBs are flagged on every other tight coverage of Denver receivers.

3- Our monster rushers are flagged for bad breath or other excuses for "roughing the passer" every time they are near Peyton.

4- (fill the blank)

^^ You make valid points & that is my biggest fear of what may transpire in this game. Home cooking by the officials.

4. The Donks WR's getting away with illegal pushoffs & pick plays.

Good one for #4. tried to add it to the OP but it doesn't let me edit anymore. :)

5. (Fill in the blank folks)

Broncos win - Those are the reasons why

Chiefs win - Manning was hurt, John Fox better coach than Del Rio, Miller needs time to gel, refs screwed up



got it, won't matter tho, neither teams fans will say "it was a good game and TEAM A got out played by TEAM B"

Some truth to your post doobs, but Denver Mannings do tend to get the officials benefit of the doubt a bit more than some other teams. I can't completely dismiss that the NFL would just LOVE a Peyton Manning Super Bowl and might look away here and there to get it..

I think America would love an underdog story more than a manning super bowl

Americans just love underdog stories

Here's an assignment foe all of you:

Let's put this theory to test. Try to keep track and mark the time of the officials calls and no-calls that fit the OP description.

And to be fair let's point them out if they go unfairly against the Donks too.

Have your paper and pencils ready boys and girls.

Will do, once the game is uploaded to NFL Game Rewind.

By watching the game live I have to admit there weren't many blatant calls.

No, it wasn't the refs who did the Chiefs in. It was the Chiefs who did themselves in. Too many squandered opportunities. Should have been a Donkeys blowout with all the things the Chiefs failed to do, but it wasn't. Donkeys are in trouble come post-season time.

That's all I'm asking from Santa. I have said all along that I don't treat this year as ours. I'm just enjoying the ride while it lasts. But if Gods of football keep the Chiefs healthy next year, I'm pretty confident that Dorsey and Reid will add enough pieces to make this the team to beat for the Super Bowl.

I'm more worried about the Colts in the playoffs to be honest. I think they are set for us, we also lost to them the last time we were truly competitive playoff wise. Guess we'll see when we get there. Sorry, I shouldn't be looking to far ahead.

+1. The refs called a fair game. Too many dropped passes! But we'll get another crack Sunday after next, and with a crowd that'll have about 78K more chiefs fans in it.
