Time to talk about Philthy......

I know next to nothing about the Philthydelphia Iggles.

Seems they run a really fast hurry up offense.

How do you think our defense will stack up against it?

It's my understanding that against the Dolts their defense was on the field close to 40 minutes and their offense was only on the field for something like 20 minutes. And yet their offense still scored 30 points. That's SCARY! That's 1.5 points per minute!

Can our D hold them to 21 points or less?

Can Alex Smith get us enough points if this game turns into a high scoring shootout?

What do y'all think?

The Eagles secondary can be had if Alex Smith can be well protected & given time to throw. Also, employ more power-running schemes to try to spring Jamaal Charles for some big runs.

Defensively, as Seek said, stay disciplined and don't blow coverages.

That's it in a nutshell. Because of the short week, how much can they dissect from the Eagles? Our best option is to focus on what KC does well, and improve what has gone not-so-well. At some point I do expect Reid to exploit some of the Philly players' weaknesses, but outside of that don't expect to see anything new. I'd really like to see special teams pick it up a notch, they were giving me a lot more hope in the preseason.

Thinking more about this game, I am more convinced than ever that it will be our biggest challenge of the season so far and also out most important game so far.

We've proved we can beat a crappy team on the road.

We've proved we can beat a good team at home.

Now we have to prove we can beat a good team on the road.....during a short week. If we can pull this one off, the worst I can see us doing is 7-9 with 10-6 a very real possibility.

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!
