Weather forecast: http://nflweather.com/assets/weather/small/sn.png Cloudy, with a high near 24. Northwest wind 10 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Line: Chiefs -7, Over/Under: 46.5
Trends:
The Chiefs are 8-6 ATS.
The Chiefs are 2-5 ATS at home.
The Chiefs are 7-4 ATS as the favorite.
The Chiefs are 2-4 ATS as a home favorite.

The Colts are 7-7 ATS.
The Colts are 3-4 ATS away.
The Colts are 3-2 ATS as the underdog.
The Colts are 1-2 ATS as an away underdog.

Game Plans:
Chiefs: One thing the Chiefs want to continue doing as the regular season winds to a conclusion is score touchdowns. (DUH!) They've been doing so at quickened pace. Over the first 10 games, the Chiefs offense scored 37 touchdowns. Over the last four games they've scored 19, including seven rushing and receiving touchdowns against Oakland last Sunday. Throw in four touchdowns from the kicking game and defense and they have averaged 41.8 points per game in the last month. In the first 10 games they averaged 23.2 points each game. That increase of nearly 20 points per game has created confidence within the Chiefs locker room that they can go out and play any type of game that develops.

Colts: The Chiefs under Andy Reid are similar as they were in the best years of Marty Schottenheimer in that they live and breathe with turnovers. The Raiders call plays designed to take occasional shots but most important have Matt McGloin avoid risky plays which could result in interceptions. They'll look to run the ball with Rashad Jennings and Marcel Reece to maintain good down and distance to avoid the kind of 10-sack disaster that doomed the Raiders in Kansas City. Defensively, the Raiders have looked like a tired team for the past two games, with little ability to generate either natural pressure or with the blitz. They'll continue to play as they have, mixing coverages and sending varying blitzes -- only they'll have to do it much better.

Notable Quotables:
Chiefs: "Three touchdowns on screen passes? I've never seen anything like it, and I certainly have never been part of something like that. Jamaal was simply amazing on those plays. There isn't much he can't do with the ball in his hands." Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith talking about teammate Jamaal Charles and the three touchdowns they connected on against Oakland via screen passes.

Colts: "Play smart. Limit turnovers offensively. Be aggressive on defense.

The Colts got off to a good start on offense in last week's home-field win over Houston by going uptempo and by spreading out the Texans defense. Look for more of the same on Sunday against Kansas City.

Communication will be the key. It will be very noisy at Arrowhead Stadium, so everybody being on the same page will be important. Keeping the focus when things get crazy, and it will get crazy at Kansas City, is paramount.

Defensively, the Colts have to be able to play fast but also play under control. Don't try to do anything out of their comfort zone. Containing the run and the screen pass are crucial. Kansas City likes to catch defense out of position and then go for the big play. Can't allow that to happen on Sunday.

Marquis Matchups:
-- Chiefs CBs Brandon Flowers and Sean Smith vs. Colts WRs T.Y. Hilton and Darrius Heyward-Bey -- In recent weeks the Chiefs defense has had problems stopping the passing game of opponents and they've been giving up a lot of big yardage plays. For instance last Sunday against Oakland, they gave up eight completions of 20 yards or more. Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has sprinkled in more zone coverages in the last few weeks, but it will likely be Flowers covering Hilton and Smith on Heyward-Bey. Smith has struggled in the last few games.

-- Chiefs pass protection vs. Colts OLB Robert Mathis -- It's been quite a season so far for Mathis, who leads the NFL with 16 sacks in 14 games. That's a career-high number for him, coming in the first season where he did not have to share the pass rushing limelight with Dwight Freeney. Indy's defensive coaching staff led by former Chiefs LB Greg Manusky likes to move Mathis all over the place when he's coming after the quarterback. He's likely to go head-to-head at one point with all five K.C. blockers. Most of the pressure will be on the tackles Eric Fisher, Donald Stephenson and possibly Branden Albert returning from a knee injury. The protection for quarterback Alex Smith has improved recently, as he's been sacked twice in the last three games with 92 total passing plays.

--Colts QB Andrew Luck vs. the Chiefs pass defense -- Luck has only been sacked once in the last two games while throwing six touchdowns and only one interception. Kansas City has recorded 20 interceptions and 43 sacks so far this season.

--Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles vs. the Colts defense -- Charles has rushed for 1,181 yards and 11 touchdowns while also catching 65 passes for 655 yards and seven touchdowns. Yes, he's that good and he's a candidate for NFL Offensive Player of the Year and MVP awards. The Indianapolis defense has been hot and cold so far this year. They need to step up in a big way on Sunday.

ESPN Game Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=331222012):

Because of some surprising results last week, both the Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs still have an outside shot at earning a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.

There's also a decent chance Sunday's matchup at Arrowhead Stadium won't be their last this season.

Already in the postseason, both the Chiefs and Colts will have their minds set on improving their seeding in what could wind up as a preview of an AFC wild-card matchup.

The South champion Colts (9-5) benefited greatly from the results in Week 15, which saw the AFC's three other division leaders -- Denver, New England and Cincinnati -- all lose. Because of that, the Colts will claim a first-round bye if they are able to win out, and Baltimore -- which faces the Patriots and Bengals during the final two weeks -- also wins its final two games.

Indianapolis closes the season against Jacksonville.

"Regardless of what happens with anyone else, we want to win the rest of our games and kind of be catching fire here at the right time going into the playoffs," left tackle Anthony Castonzo said. "We want to be playing our best ball regardless of what happens with any other teams."

To win out, the Colts must show better consistency than they have over the past six weeks. Since Nov. 10, the team has alternated wins and losses every week, most recently beating Houston 25-3 last Sunday. However, Indianapolis' inability to string together impressive performances could be costly come playoff time.

Coach Chuck Pagano said he is not worried about the team's streaky play.

"I just think these guys are able to move on, win or lose," Pagano said on his weekly radio show. "They are able to put the last game behind them, make corrections that you always have and stick to the process. It's the next game. Stick to the process. Our guys do a great job of that."

The Chiefs (11-3) have bounced back from their three-game losing streak by scoring a combined 101 points in two road wins. Running back Jamaal Charles had 195 yards receiving and accounted for five touchdowns in last Sunday's 56-31 rout of Oakland.

The win sealed a playoff berth for the Chiefs, an impressive accomplishment after last season's 2-14 finish.

"Anytime you can clinch a playoff spot, it's special," quarterback Alex Smith said. "Obviously, there's still some left to go here, in the division, but yeah, it's special. It's what you're playing for, it's what you worked for all offseason to get to the postseason."

The Chiefs will need Denver to lose at least one of its final two games in order to earn a first-round bye. If they are unable to pass the Broncos, the Chiefs will be the AFC's fifth seed and could well face the Colts again in two weekends in Indianapolis.

"I'll probably tell you the same thing that I told you when we played Denver, you give it the best shot your first time and then you come back, two weeks later, and give it your best shot then," coach Andy Reid said of the possibility of facing the Colts twice. "That's how we'll approach it."

Charles leads the AFC in rushing yards with 1,181 -- he's also hauled in a team-high 65 receptions -- and a Kansas City offense that's averaged 5.3 yards per carry the past five weeks figures to be eager to run this week. Indianapolis lost middle linebacker Pat Angerer for the season due to a knee injury suffered against the Texans.

Charles nearly single-handedly took down the Colts last Dec. 23, rushing for 226 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. But the Chiefs turned it over three times and Andrew Luck's fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne gave the Colts a 20-13 win at Arrowhead.

Though Kansas City has won by a combined 60 points the past two weeks, there are still issues to fix on the defensive end. Over their past eight games, the Chiefs have allowed 47 plays of 20 or more yards, the most in the NFL.

"Yeah, we have to cut down on that," Reid said. "Big plays can hurt you, obviously. We're addressing that and we'll get that worked out. I wouldn't get hung up on it, too much now. The final score is what you're looking at, that and turnovers.

The Chiefs have been quite good in that regard, producing an NFL-best plus-21 turnover differential and a league-high 35 takeaways after getting seven against Oakland.

Turnovers might be hard to come by in this game. Indianapolis and Kansas City are tied for the fewest turnovers in the league with 14, and the Colts have only given it away three times in seven road games.

Chiefs-Colts scouting report (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/12/21/4706876/chiefs-colts-scouting-report.html) from the Kansas City Star

December 14

When the Chiefs run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Chiefs have seriously cranked up the running game as Jamaal Charles is averaging 120 yards in his last four outings. The Raiders are 12th in the league against the run, but Charles still managed to rush for 78 yards and two touchdowns in 22 carries the first time they met, and he was far from full strength because of foot blisters. Look for the Chiefs to try to pound away here.

When the Chiefs pass
EDGE >> COLTS
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has performed at a very high level for the last month, and that’s an encouraging sign for a Chiefs team that will have to score points if it wants to do anything in the postseason. But Indianapolis features one of the league’s best pass rushers in Robert Mathis (left), and cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Darius Butler are coming off strong outings

When the Colts run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Much-maligned running back Trent Richardson ran for 64 yards and caught a touchdown pass last week against Houston, one of his best performances since he joined the Colts via trade in September, but Donald Brown has been the more effective back. Regardless, the Chiefs’ run defense has been solid in recent weeks and the Colts’ interior run blocking has been shaky, at best.

When the Colts pass
EDGE >> COLTS
The Colts had some success against Houston last week by airing the ball out, and in Andrew Luck, they have a quarterback physically gifted enough to take advantage of the weaknesses of the aggressive single-high coverages the Chiefs prefer. Indianapolis’ offensive line has been banged up all season, but tackles Anthony Castonzo and Gosder Cherilus have been solid on the outside, and the Chiefs’ pass rush isn’t what it was earlier in the season.

Special teams
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Pat McAfee booms kickoffs and punts, and Adam Vinatieri drills field goals. Arguably, the Colts’ tandem has had a better statistical season than the Chiefs’ kicker Ryan Succop and punter Dustin Colquitt. But with four return touchdowns, the Chiefs still have one of the league’s most dangerous kickoff and punt return units, one that can turn a game.

Coaching
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Andy Reid has to be considered a coach of the year candidate. The Chiefs were 2-14 last season and are 11-3 in his first year as coach. Chuck Pagano (left) leads a team that has shown tremendous improvement in his two years, but Reid is simply having one of his best seasons and gets the edge.

X-factor
EDGE >> CHIEFS
As if playing at Arrowhead Stadium isn’t hard enough for opponents, it’s probably going to be cold and snowy, which is bad news for a dome team like the Colts. That could serve to slow down their passing attack while making it more of a rough-and-tumble game, which benefits the Chiefs.

Bottom Line: Chiefs 27-Colts 24
Indianpolis has the weapons to beat the Chiefs. But at the end of the day, home-field advantage could give the Chiefs the edge in a game that might not be that close if Luck doesn’t deliver and channel his inner Peyton Manning or Philip Rivers.

Edit:

Colts Game Plan should read: "Play smart. Limit turnovers offensively. Be aggressive on defense.

The Colts got off to a good start on offense in last week's home-field win over Houston by going uptempo and by spreading out the Texans defense. Look for more of the same on Sunday against Kansas City.

Communication will be the key. It will be very noisy at Arrowhead Stadium, so everybody being on the same page will be important. Keeping the focus when things get crazy, and it will get crazy at Kansas City, is paramount.

Kansas City likes to catch defense out of position and then go for the big play. Can't allow that to happen on Sunday."

Colts Notable Quotable should read: "He's playing fast, physical. He's gaining confidence. Last three weeks, you could see it. Each and every week, he's gotten better. He's certainly trending in the right direction and playing a physical brand of football the way we want to play it." Colts coach Chuck Pagano on the continued development of rookie OLB Bjoern Werner, who recorded his first NFL sack in last week's win over AFC South rival Houston."

Stupid 10 minute edit rule! :sign0053:

[Chiefster]

Go Chiefs! :yahoo:

[SloJimFizz]

Go Chiefs!!!!
Another huge day by Charles would be nice.
Colts may just be going through the motions today with not much to gain either way.

[kcvet]

http://i43.tinypic.com/sq2ezl.jpg

all i want for Christmas is a SB !!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Looking for our Chiefs to put a BRUTAL beating on these fools today! It would be nice to feed the talking heads a BIG serving of crow today!

[kcvet]

our D need's a monster showing. can't afford to give up those 30 pts a game. god help mr Cooper. Lucks' gonna try and lite him up.

[NJChiefs]

Interesting that that since the offensive explosion four weeks ago that we are somehow how a "better" team according to most "experts" at 2-2 than we were at 9-0 when our defense was suffocating. Offense certainly does inspire confidence. Not only in the fans, but also in the players ... You can sense it. The difference now is that if all three facets of the team are clicking on any given day, there is NO team that will beat these Chiefs. That is a tall order though as, except for the Redskins, game we have not seen it. Anyway, after so many painful losses to the Colts, I'm ready for a serious pounding to be laid on Luck and his boys today. Go Chiefs!

[brdempsey69]

Go Chiefs and get win number 12.

[Ryla02]

Go Chiefs !!!

[matthewschiefs]

Big game I think this is a playoff preview lets get it done GO CHIEFS

[brdempsey69]

[ctchiefsfan]

WOO BABY!!! Got 'em on the run!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

Charles is on fire and the flames are igniting at the right time. If opposing teams can't stop him, they are in trouble.....cut and dried.

Great opening drive.

19 TD's by Charles in 2013, which more than the entire team had in 2011 and 2012.

[ctchiefsfan]

3 and out! Good job D

[brdempsey69]

Phew!! McCluster came close to giving it right back to Indy.

[ctchiefsfan]

Time for our second TD of the first quarter.

[brdempsey69]

Play-action passing might help on the next series. Mathis and Werner are a pretty good pair of bookend pass-rushers for the Colts. Can't just let them tee off.

[brdempsey69]

Here we go again with the 3rd down and long Defensive failures.

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to get a pass rush going. Luck getting too much time.

[matthewschiefs]

BS call there

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh bs!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Hold 'em to 3 here!

[matthewschiefs]

Damn Flowers had that just dropped it

[brdempsey69]

Good, they at least kept them out of the end zone & they missed the FG !!

[matthewschiefs]

JUSTICE for the refs BS

[ctchiefsfan]

Missed! Missed! MISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Get up 2 scores give it to charles and lets go

[matthewschiefs]

Uggggg bowe

[brdempsey69]

Two consecutive 3 and outs by the Offense is not good.

[ctchiefsfan]

Good coverage by ST.

[matthewschiefs]

How do 2 guys miss on a tackle GEEZE

[loyalchief91]

Besides that lucky TD. We haven't played all that good.

[brdempsey69]

Pathetic tackling on that last play. Should have been stopped for no gain.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Dunta Robinson just have a prime example of how not to tackle.

[ctchiefsfan]

Giving up too many on 3rd down.

[brdempsey69]

Not covering and not tackling on this series.

[ctchiefsfan]

Luck having a field day. Got to stop this.

[ctchiefsfan]

IN THE GRASP! Should be a sack!

[matthewschiefs]

GREAT challenge by Reid

[ctchiefsfan]

That is a SACK DAMMIT!!!!! Should be a successful challenge!

[loyalchief91]

Maybe we just can't stop good quarterbacks.

[brdempsey69]

IN THE GRASP! Should be a sack!

IF his knee touched down. That's what the Chiefs are challenging.

[matthewschiefs]

So

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

IF his knee touched down. That's what the Chiefs are challenging.

Is there no longer an "In the Grasp" call? Used to be there to protects QBs.

[loyalchief91]

Need a TD on this drive. Haven't done nothing since our first drive.

[ctchiefsfan]

Held 'em to 3. Good. We've dodged a few bullets. Need to get another TD.

[brdempsey69]

Is there no longer an "In the Grasp" call? Used to be there to protects QBs.

I don't think so. It was a rule that should have been abolished anyway.

[ctchiefsfan]

I don't think so. It was a rule that should have been abolished anyway.

I agree, but if it still exists it should have been called there....though the sack was just as good. Real nice challenge by Reid. He has been VERY GOOD with challenges.

[brdempsey69]

Other skill-position players on this Offense have to step up and help Charles out.

[ctchiefsfan]

Nice first down JC!

[matthewschiefs]

Why do they stop giving the freaking ball to Charles? UGGG they are asking to get beat

[ctchiefsfan]

SH*T

[brdempsey69]

Other skill-position players on this Offense have to step up and help Charles out.

What did I tell you and Davis coughed it up. Nobody else other than Charles is doing anything on this Offense. That CANNOT continue.

[matthewschiefs]

A guy on top of Hali on his back and no flag I see what's going on here they want Denver to win the division this week

[brdempsey69]

Another blown coverage & the Colts get a TD. What's with all the blown coverages & bad tackling as of late?

[loyalchief91]

Secondary is terrible. Wide the **** open

[loyalchief91]

Offense nor defense doing ****. Could get ugly

[brdempsey69]

Why are the Chiefs not throwing the damn ball beyond the 1st down marker?

[ctchiefsfan]

Colquitt having a GREAT DAY!

[Kearney]

I guarantee a pick 6 here!

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Where have the screens gone ?? Why have we gone back to the no pass over 10 yard offence ?? It didn't work earlier on in the year so why go back to it ? Unless Reid was bluffing when he said nothing will be held back for the playoffs.

[Justin5772002]

THIS!

[ctchiefsfan]

WTF? How was he that open?

[iratefan]

what the **** is this amateur hour **** im watching? no contact fumbles dropping every pass wide open receivers in zone covg

holy **** does kendrick lrwis suck as a safety! him and dunta on the same side of the field is a disaster!!!

[iratefan]

kendrick ****ing lewis is how !!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Really need the stop here!

[brdempsey69]

Where have the screens gone ?? Why have we gone back to the no pass over 10 yard offence ?? It didn't work earlier on in the year so why go back to it ? Unless Reid was bluffing when he said nothing will be held back for the playoffs.

It's looking like was he was bluffing, thus far. Add to that, there has been no Arrowhead advantage this year as the Chiefs have struggled at home this year.

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh crap!

[ctchiefsfan]

2 minute drill coming up. GO ALEX!

[loyalchief91]

Not lookin good

[brdempsey69]

kendrick ****ing lewis is how !!!

If Sanders Commings can stay healthy next year, then Lewis won't be playing FS next year. Plus, they could sign a FS via FA from somewhere to replace him as Lewis' rookie contract is done after this year.

[ctchiefsfan]

Go alex go!!!!!

[ctchiefsfan]

Punch it in for 7 here!

[brdempsey69]

C'mon at least get 3 points on the board before halftime.

[MissingTBone]

In other news I see V Miller is out for rest of game with a knee injury.

[ctchiefsfan]

Oh wtf!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

We are not Denver we are not allowed to run pick plays

[Justin5772002]

Wow in fg range just to have a penalty knock us out

[ctchiefsfan]

Get an F'ing play off before they call this a fumble!

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Funny how Denver can run pick plays but we can't....

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to get back in range for a FG.

[ctchiefsfan]

Need 8 yards or more here!

[ctchiefsfan]

Kick the FG. Either that or fake it and throw for the sideline.

[ctchiefsfan]

Spike the damned ball!

[Pro_Angler]

Wth....not look ing good at all...we better get our chit together 2nd half..

[ctchiefsfan]

Hit it!

[matthewschiefs]

Chiefs just havent looked right today they are looking like last year

[ctchiefsfan]

Dammit!

[matthewschiefs]

This is the first game I can say I don't think Reid had the team ready to play. They just look flat today. No Spark at all.

[ctchiefsfan]

Need to pull our stuff together at halftime.

[ctchiefsfan]

Truth to tell we are lucky to only be down by 6

[iratefan]

Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles, and Derrick Johnson came to play some football today.

It would appear that not many others else have.

Can we offically declare kendrick lewis dead weight and a liability?

what the **** is going on with the receiver corps? Why is every throw a center cross route? they are clearly leaving this route open on purpose so they can ****ing stuff it well short of first downs.

How many times after the first drive were we going to have to endure watching yet another perfectly fine pass dropped?

How are we the only team in football that doesnt know that a pick route cant be formed by actively blocking the DB (fasano, hello!!!).

What the **** is going on with these wide open receivers down field?!?! these cant ALL be kendrick lewis' fault!!! did we lose all faith in man covg and go to ****-zone and do an even worse job covering in zone? QBs like luck will carve that **** up like its ****ing thanksgiving day!

who the hell are these chiefs? they look sad and pathetic and at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME

GET YOUR **** TOGETHER YOU ****ING SLOUCHES!

[iratefan]

Truth to tell we are lucky to only be down by 6

truth is, this is the worst ive seen them perform all season, yet we are only down 6. INDY ISNT THAT GOOD! they arent playing super great themselves...

[Chiefster]

Atop the list of players to draft in 2014: wide receivers who can actually catch and hang on to the football. That last booth review told me one thing; the Colts are beating the Chiefs and the officials.

[brdempsey69]

This is the first game I can say I don't think Reid had the team ready to play. They just look flat today. No Spark at all.

Something isn't right for sure. Ever since the bye week, the Chiefs can't seem to put it together playing at Arrowhead. I don't have a clue as to why, but that's the way it's been.

For those wanting the opening playoff game at home, I'd suggest you rethink it & the Chiefs aren't likely getting it anyway. If the Chiefs lose today and the Donks win, then you can scratch any hopes of a home play-off game & I don't know why anyone would want that anyway, the way things have gone this season.

[ctchiefsfan]

We are still very much in this sucker!

[Chiefster]

This is the first game I can say I don't think Reid had the team ready to play. They just look flat today. No Spark at all.


Outside that first possession your assessment is spot on.

[brdempsey69]

Again, Bowe doesn't catch the ball right in his hands.

[iratefan]

can someone remind me how pulling on a jersey before, during, and after a dropped pass is NOT pass interference?

Can someone inform me how a shoulder pad tackle is a horse collar?

What the ****s is wrong with these referees?

what the **** is wrong with this playcalling!!!!

first and 10 from the 50 and you go pass to a 1 out set?

[ctchiefsfan]

Out of bounds at the 6

[iratefan]

kendrick lewis - the worst tackler in the league lets an 8 yard gain turn into 50 and a TD

[Pro_Angler]

I can't watch this b.s... were gonna lose!! We look like a 4-8 team

[matthewschiefs]

Andy Reid I still think you have done a great job but this week since it's Christmas you might want to donate your pay check to some charity you didn't do your job this week

[loyalchief91]

Looks like we'll be one and done in the playoffs.

[brdempsey69]

Something is totally f***ed up today. The Chiefs aren't playing ball at all today. They are looking ahead to the postseason whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Shocking, abysmal tackling, Kendrick Lewis needs to be cut at the end of the year too.

[iratefan]

I can't watch this b.s... were gonna lose!! We look like a 4-8 team

4 wins playing like this would be generous.

Not saying the refs are helping by giving Indy Every penalty call (and no call) advantage, but you cant play THIS BAD and expect not to get egged before the 4th quarter. the question is, did the fans anticipate this possibility to bring any eggs?

[iratefan]

why wait? at this point he is beyond a liability

[Pro_Angler]

I see a 1st rd blow out on us 1st rd. Typical!!! Fire all the assistants!!!!

The only upside is the Chiefs will most likely get another crack at the Colts in 2 weeks & we can only hope that it will be a different story and a different Chiefs team that shows up.

[ctchiefsfan]

That idiot stepped out of bounds twice. Once at the 6 and once at the 4.

[2010chiefs]

If we get a TD in the 3rd qtr and stop em were still in it . We need to score now!

[Pro_Angler]

Absolutely disgusted attempt at a football game!! Might as well pull starters..oh are they even in?? Playing like they aren't!!!

[Pro_Angler]

The only upside is the Chiefs will most likely get another crack at the Colts in 2 weeks & we can only hope that it will be a different story and a different Chiefs team that shows up.
Not likely we are who everyone thought we were...

[ctchiefsfan]

If they score again, Reid should pull the starters. No sense risking people getting hurt in a lost effort.

[2010chiefs]

Can't pass downfield worth sh! We have not won a team with a winning record yet! Horrible play calling!

[Lewis_Chiefs]

3rd and 13 and you do that !?! This is starting to look like the pre bye week offence.

[brdempsey69]

If they score again, Reid should pull the starters. No sense risking people getting hurt in a lost effort.

Agreed. There's nothing to be gained by leaving them in and risking getting more of the regulars hurt.

[KCMASS]

Looks like we'll be one and done in the playoffs.

I agree. The Chiefs look like total S**T! 1st: I was just waiting for Kniles Davis to give up the ball in a big game (was his achilles heal in college) 2nd: Was it just me or was Tamba Hali being held on Indy's first TD? 3rd: The Officials are simply terrible today! The Chiefs will be "One & Done" in the playoffs! This year most people said the Chiefs can't win against a decent team, well guys....I agree! It's been fun, but let's be real here people...we aren't there yet. I refuse to watch the rest of the game.

Also..What in gods name is wrong with this website today? Took me like 10 minutes to write this!

[brdempsey69]

What's really irritating is the 3rd and long Defense as of late. They are repeatedly allowing the opposition to convert & keep the ball instead of getting them off the field.

[texaschief]

Good God. I am regretting my decision to write a summary of this game. This ENTIRE TEAM couldn't look more pathetic than they do right now. There is ZERO effort coming from this team from any player not name Charles. The O-line is horrific. The D-line is getting ZERO pressure even though they're playing against a ridiculously poor O-line. The secondary is leaving guys wide open and not caring at all whether they tackle anyone.


Seriously... which of these teams plays in a dome again? Chiefs are playing some horrifically pathetic football right now and they should be ashamed of themselves.


Either that... or everything I and every other writer across this country have been saying is true... the Chiefs have played a pathetically easy schedule to this point and good teams are exposing them. If the Chiefs aren't getting turnovers, the defense and offense isn't good enough to win games. It's that simple.


PATHETIC.

[ctchiefsfan]

Wtf poe!

[brdempsey69]

Here we go again. Not getting the opponents Offense of the field because of a bone-headed mistake.

[matthewschiefs]

I'm out this is BS the refs won't let us get back in it

[2010chiefs]

They were both jawing. Both should have been flagged! BS!

[texaschief]

I would love to play the Chiefs defense if I were a QB. This $hit is so easy against them every week. Even the crappy Raiders put up a ton of offense. If they didn't turn the ball over 7x last week, they would've destroyed the Chiefs.

[texaschief]

Hey!!! A qb who knows how to throw a ball away!! What a novel idea!!

[Lewis_Chiefs]

A terrible game all round, we look lacklustre all over.

[texaschief]

To make this even worse.... The texans could actually beat the broncos and hand the chiefs the #1 seed in the conference!!



Gawd, this game is pissing me off!!

[brdempsey69]

Knile Davis has handled the football today like a wet bar of soap.

[2010chiefs]

If the chiefs don't score on this drive it's over.

[iratefan]

you have jamaal ****ing charles and you go pass on a 2nd and 2?!?!? and then try again on 3rd and 2!?!?!?!?!?!?

[texaschief]

Knile Davis has handled the football today like a wet bar of soap.


He had one fumble in extremely cold conditions. RB's fumble. Charles fumbled last week. I'm not that upset about his fumble. He's not the only one who's put the ball on the ground today. The Colts have fumbled 3x today but the ball went out of bounds. That happens in cold conditions.


The offensive line has been dominated and hasn't allowed the team to keep the ball.




This game is over.


Chiefs are one and done in the playoffs. Especially when you consider they'll be playing this team in the first round instead of sitting at home like they COULD be. This game proved to me that the Chiefs are nothing but above average and the benefactors of an amazing turnover ratio. The Chiefs can't win if they don't get turnovers. They can't beat good teams and more than likely, we'll see them lose next week in San Diego as well... and they didn't even make the playoffs. This is a defense that was designed to combat QBs like Luck, Rivers, and Manning, but there's not a team in the league these 3 guys would rather play than this porous secondary in KC.

This team should be picking in the middle third of the draft, but won't because of an easy early schedule and a ridiculous TO ratio. Quite unfortunate for the Chiefs, yet again.

[brdempsey69]

^^Knile Davis has fumbled TWICE today.

And what you are seeing TC is what has gone on all year long. The Chiefs have not played as well at home as they have on the road. Forget the BS about wanting a bye and a playoff game at home, because it's not happening, and it wouldn't do them any good, anyways.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

Thoughts about resting the starters and having a look at Bray next week ??

[2010chiefs]

Why does Bowe always try to make 1 handed catches ??

[loyalchief91]

3 turnovers. that was a great drive too.

[ctchiefsfan]

Pull the starters. This sucker is done. No point getting someone hurt.

[texaschief]

I've decided that we need some white WRs. Apparently, they're the only WRs you can actually trust to run correct routes and actually give any kind of effort whatsoever. Whalen is just one in a long line of white WRs that have absolutely destroyed the Chiefs this season.

Must have missed the 2nd. How horrible is Kendrick Lewis today? Geez

[brdempsey69]

What a rotten day for the Chiefs today. Nothing is going right. If this doesn't serve as a wakeup call, then I don't know what will.

TC, I don't know what's become of Lewis, but I believe he's done after this year. Expect a FA signing to help at that position.

[brdempsey69]

I'll say this:

In spite of what's happened today, I'm not giving up hope that can beat Indy at Indy should they meet again in two weeks. The last time the Chiefs played in Indy in 2011, they did come away victorious.

I can't stop worrying that it will be another playoff no show, just like 06 & 10.

[brdempsey69]

I can't stop worrying that it will be another playoff no show, just like 06 & 10.

Maybe. We will have to wait and see. We have to remember where the team came from in 2012 at 2-14. At least the team did show improvement that we had all hoped for, so it's a start and at least something to build on.

[KCMASS]

Never understood when people say "Last time we played them we won @ their Stadium" That was 2011! Or when the "NFC East has beaten the AFC West" yadda, yadda. Well that was 2011 & we have a different team correct? Sorry Brdempsey69...That's a useless statement!

[NJChiefs]

Schizophrenic. Bipolar. Whatever you want to call this team. I just hope they don't forget to take their medication in two weeks.

[brdempsey69]

No it's not a useless statement. You simply don't get it. It pointed out that victory in Indy has happened & it is possible it could happen again. They'll probably have a healthy Justin Houston in that playoff game, for starters. If you want to go ahead and dismiss the Chiefs chances of winning in that game in 2 weeks, then you go ahead and do that. Don't count me in with you, because I believe they do have a chance. The Chiefs have played much better on the road this year than at home, in case you haven't noticed.

It is a useless statement when you consider that was the year Manning was out for his surgeries. That Colts team is completely different, and is nothing compared to this team. That having been said, I am not counting us out. I expect it to be a much closer game.

[Chiefster]

I do not believe a persons skin color has anything to do with their abilities, or lack thereof, on the football field.

[brdempsey69]

And is Manning going to be there this time around? No, he will not be. I'm well aware that this a different Colts team than two years ago, as well as being aware that this is a different Chiefs team than in 2011 -- and the very realistic possibility of seeing a different Chiefs team in 2 weeks than what we saw today.

The point was, that the Chiefs can win there in Indy in two weeks & there's nothing useless at all about that. The Rams have already shown that the Colts can be had at Indy. The Colts are NOT invincible on their home field, anymore than the Chiefs have been on their home-field this year.

[Pro_Angler]

Hmmm. Welker and decker is white...might be on to something...lol

Wish we could prove that we can be a strong road team in SD next weekend but it would be all for nothing. Here's to checking out our 2nd and 3rd stringers guys and gals

The Chiefs may not win in SD next week, but it will not surprise me at all if they make a better showing than today.
