If Thig was here at least he could get away from the Giants front 7 which is going to be painful
Giant fan here. Excited for this weeks game. Havent played in KC for like a decade. We're expecting some of our injured players back but our 2ndary depth will be tested again. We're starting a 2nd year guy at corner 2, (Thomas) and an undrafted FA Bruce Johnson as our nickel. Hopefully Dockery is available. Ross is out for sure. No Phillips... Big loss.
My expectations of the game:
On Offense: Giants should have a field day moving the ball. Jacobs looks like a guy coming off a big contract and isnt playing with the same intensity as he has in the past. He vowed to change that this week and I expect him to be step up his game this weekend to quiet the doubters. Bradshaw is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. Hes quick and strong... An ideal compliment to the bruising Jacobs. Manning looks so poised and comfortable. He still is a bit inconsistent with his accuracy, and struggles in the red zone. Giants need to finish drives better.
On Defense: Giants dont blitz often. Dont really have to with their stacked DLine. Canty hasnt even played yet this season and even though their sack numbers are just fair, they disrupt the flow for the opposing offense. Tuck should be out there for us at almostr full strength and Kiwi and Osi are dangerous pass rushers. Robbins, Cofield and Bernard more then hold their own in the middle. Pierce, clark and Bloey are solid lbs. Pierce has lost a step but is the general of our defense and spends alot of time in the film room. The downside of this unit is they often overpursue and are very vulnerable to counters and cutbacks. Misdirection plays kill us. Webster is shutdown and should make the probowl this year.
I dont think the Cheifs talent matches up and Coughlin always gets us ready. So I dont expect a let down. My prediction. 27 - 13 GMEN.
Good luck this weekend and lets hope both teams stay injury free!
Yeah at kcchiefs.com they said that's one weakness of the Giants - they are 0 for 8 at scoring touchdowns when in the red zone. And the Chiefs defense has looked pretty good this year the closer teams get to scoring. Like even last week against the Eagles, the Eagles got 2 tds that were 35 and 64 yd pass plays. 2 other times when they had good drives the Chiefs held them to field goals. And then there was that 4th and 1 in Chiefs territory that the Eagles failed to convert.
We've had trouble against you guys, as Honda pointed out in another thread our lifetime record is 2-9 against you. But 2-3 at KC (0-6 at NY). But as honda also pointed out, numbers don't really mean too much. Like the Herm era kind of put a lot of encouraging numbers on hold for now. Like us being the only team Favre never beat. Like us never losing at Baltimore and Philadelphia. Like us winning 9 in a row against Jokeland. Like us being one of the toughest teams to beat at home (now on a 7 game home losing streak).
Here's to a great game tomorrow! :bananen_smilies046:
