Just go 2 deep in coverage and force Mahomes to check down unlike the dumb Raiders.

Mahomes struggles with this approach historically.

So what your saying is as long as we dont play like crap we should win....your hanging your argument on the last 3 games they played....who were the teams and QB's they did that to? Your welcome to do what you want with your money...but what you cant do is keep saying they have better weapons than we do, because its simply not true. Their rushing defense is also bottom 10...
I literally said we have more names lol. Are we turning this argument into who has better weapons? We probably do. But I dont see us coping well with the speed of Hill and Hardman as well as Kelsey. Yes they will probably struggle with our weapons too. But they also have a much better chance at disrputing the pocket than we do unless we play Parsons at DE all game.

As far as how I look at these games, I always look at it as who I would bet my money on if I was a gambler. Removes the emotional attachment. This game I would bet small, but I would bet my money on KC

I think their defense is fools gold the last couple of weeks. They beat the NYG, who aren't exactly the greatest show on turf and rank 24th in points scored, they beat a Rodgers-less GB team and a Raiders team that has had so many distractions this year that it was only a matter of time before their wheels fell off. They were completely dismantled by the Titans and Bills just a few weeks ago. They have been shredded on the ground all year long and I think that is our key to winning. Zeke and Pollard need to feast against KC. If Dallas runs the ball effectively, they control TOP and keep Mahomes and co on the sidelines. I think this game has the makings of a track meet where the team with the ball at the end wins. Dallas 35-31
If their defense is fools gold, then what is our defense?

The biggest test since the loss in the opener. If you want to be a serious contender you have to beat teams like this, in situations like this.

The Chiefs are rounding into form. The Cowboys just had their wake up call and looked dominant in response.

A true statement game.

Not ifs, ands or buts. Who wins this game Sunday?
Are you mining for likes? Same answer.

I get that, but you said take out emotion...meaning bet on what should happen..right? If I go off how both teams have played this year the number 1 offense should destroy the number 29 defense...so again I'm just saying if both teams play to their ability..the Cowboys should win this game...but any given Sunday is literally proved every Sunday.

KC's DC Spagnuolo has been known to come up with good pressure packages in the past with the Giants and in KC.

With that said, IF Dallas is able to counter with a coached up, well protected QB blindside then I will go out on a limb and skeptically choose the Boys.

I'll go along with all the talking heads and say there will be a fair amount of scoring on both sides.

This would be a HUGE boost to team confidence towards the ultimate goal imo.

See, I can be optimistic? Well, kind of, lol.
Cautiously anyway.
Cowboys!

They have also given up just 300 yards a game and 12 points over the last 3 games. Their defense isnt playing the same way they did early in the season
Whatever D gets to the qb the most will have the best chance to win this one. We've got to disrupt the qb.

Yes but do not blitz much that is how Mahomes beats you, make him work for everything play sound coverage.

Raiders were dumb and failed to employ the strategy that has caused Mahomes trouble.

Hopefully Quinn does not repeat the mistake of Gus!

What should happen is defined by the individual. Its a statement game for both teams. We havent done well in statement games for the last few years. I need to see alot more from this team before I trust them in these kind of games. The Chiefs arent as good as they have been, but their core has been winning alot of these games the last few years. That matters to me.

I feel the Chiefs win this game. Im not supremely confident in that. Again, Id bet small lol. As far as a "statement games" there is something to be said about the Cowboys core having pent up frustration over two years of losing. These team just seems to have a different approach and they could come out with their hair on fire. But my call is still the Chiefs

I guess it kinda cracks me up when people are like "They have so and so on offense against our defense" when literally we have been better on offense and defense then that team because we have alot of so and so's on our offense and our mediocre defense has far outplayed their bad defense...thats not being for the home team those are facts...and this is not just directed at you darth BTW

They also have two guys in Hill and Hardman that have the jets to score from anywhere on the field. We do have some big play ability, but our offense is more methodical. I really dont think the thought of our DB's containing the big play, especially if we cant get to Mahomes

will be the toughest game OF THE YEAR

if they dont bring their A game on the road against a surging chiefs team, we will surely lose..

book that those are overrating us and underrating the chiefs will be in for big let down..
