Really? That's dumb, I thought they were advertising it as a replay of all the super bowl games

Mahomes vs top 5 passing defenses this year

LAC: 182 yards 1 TD 1 Int

LAC: 174 yards 1 TD 1 Int

BLT: 374 yards 2 TD 1 Int

Pats: 283 yards 1 TD 1 Int

That's an average of 253 yards 1.25 TD 1 Int, and none of these teams even have a top 10 pass rush.

Maybe I'm being cocky.....I felt like we would curb stomp the Vikings. We did, felt like we would curb stomp the packers....we did. I don't think KC is going to get curb stomped....but I feel like we win by 10 points

I have zero fear of the chiefs.

I do have fear of the pre-game distractions on a week of interviews and parties.

Greg Cossell was on local radio and mentioned TEN's gameplan vs KC. He thought TEN did a good job of limiting KC's explosives but that TEN's pass rush failed them. I'm watching the TEN/KC game and I see TEN doing what has been suggested in the SB preview thread, rush 3 and bring the 4th rusher late once the three force Mahomes from the pocket. That seemed to be TEN's plan on some plays. The problem for TEN was that the first three rushers were mostly ineffective, making the 4th guy not effective in pressuring Mahomes.

Here are two plays where it kinda worked even though the first three rushers weren't very good at getting pressure. The coverage was good and once Mahomes escaped the pocket, the 4th guy activated.

TEN in soft man coverage here. The cushion gives off a zone look, but they match up once the cushion is eaten up. imo this is the type of muddy presnap look that SF needs to use to cause Mahomes to hold on to the ball. Incomplete.


Cover 3 in the backend. Same thing here. Rush 3. Once Mahomes escapes, the 4th rusher activates. If SF uses this tactic on some downs, the key is having the three rushers be disruptive enough that the 4th rusher is able to activate sooner and the coverage won't have to hold up as long.

This is actually a brilliant defensive plan.

Should have did more this vs Russell Wilson and the Seahawks

The Ravens game was week 3 in KC before Baltimore fixed a lot of their issues after Cleveland threw up 40 on them the following week. Pretty sure they were missing a few starters in the secondary in that KC game as well and didn't add Peters until after we beat the Rams so week 7 or so.

It was and wasn't. They also gave up 2 passing TD's and Mahomes 27 yard TD run was the same thing as well. Reid is too adept when teams do the same thing over and over again.

The chargers, Pats and Colts all didn't use this approach and were more effective, IMO against the Chiefs. They were more disciplined in their rush lanes and collapsed the edge or, in the case of the Bears, when Mack won, it was over. We have that ability. I think we have to mix it up with a slower, more disciplined rush and a full on speed rush. We're going to give up some plays but don't let Mahomes have a predictable clock. If you pure speed rush and try and get to him every single play, he speeds up his, "get out of there" clock, like Russel Wilson. Yet if you delay, like this, he'll eventually adjust and get more patient and just keep drifting back, buying time. You have to mix it up.

It was frustrating watching the Texans vs them because HOU was in man-coverage and the Chiefs were dropping passes left and right. Reid was drawing up stuff to beat their man-coverage, lots of pick/rub plays, and beating the coverage, guys just weren't catching the ball. Yet, HOU didn't adjust. Watching it, you could tell it was just a matter of time until KC blew them off the field. It was sad, really.
They were up but couldn't see the writing on the wall that their defensive scheme was getting beat. By the time they started throwing in more zone, they were already down in the game.

Same thing with TEN. They got too stubborn with their scheme, at times. Staying in this man-coverage about 3 plays too long in some stretches.

Nice work. 👍🏼

Someone should make a video of Mahomes going right vs going left. He always seems to go to his right.
