The KC Game Strategy

[Rayman70]

I think the Chiefs will do what they do but will try to use our aggression to beat ourselves. We cannot beat ourselves. Meaning, don't get taunting flags, late hits, crap like that. KC is great at getting the refs to see things there way each week. We can't feed the beast tomorrow. Chiefs don't need any help. I believe they are going to let our own emotion work against us. We must remain calm cool , collected. Do what we do. That's my take. Play in control. Do not let them dictate terms.

This isn’t the game to play man.. #15 will carve us up like a thanksgiving turkey if they do. This is the game to play nothing but zone and offer up some simulated blitzes. If they don’t we lose this game.. the chiefs are very beatable if the approach is right. Zone! Zone! Zone!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Mahomes is statistically one of the best against zone. We play the 2nd most zone coverage in the league.

How do think this may end up if Eberflus sticks with this approach.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Have to mix it up zone and man bc Mahomes can carve up any defense. Key is contained pressure. Don't let him get to running around.

Okay....so who's right? Do we play zone or man? How about a combination of the two?

That’s the mistake the colts made.. I suppose a little of both will suffice but in that game the colts changed how they were playing zone, went to more of a man up defense they lost the game.

Well I didn't watch the Colts game that's good information you're saying that when they were playing zone they were holding the Chiefs down and winning the game and when they decided for some reason to go to man they end up losing?

You do realize one thing that we're not a great zone team or at least we weren't and playing zone is what got us in this big hole we're in right now too much zone equal many losses this team doesn't play zone very well or at least it didn't i'm gonna keep saying at least it didn't we played a mixture of all three according to somebody here I think somebody posted something about we played three types of defense mixed it up pretty well and maybe that's what they need to do but I'm not comfortable sitting back in a covered three zone and only having 4 down lineman and all that nonsense because that's what got us at 5-5-1

So I don't know I mean if that's how you're supposed to defend the Chiefs I wouldn't know 'cause I really don't watch those games that close I pretty much only pay attention to my teams in college and the pros so I only know what I see...

Only way to have a chance is to pressure him. Hit him early and often. Harass him.

 

[Blackrain]

Do whatever it takes to get him on his back and the rest will take care of itself zone man if we can collapse the pocket and get him down we got a puncher's chance of winning this game.

That is provided we don't make a habit of shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties

 

[Mikexike]

I believe this Dline will harass his butt just like philly did in the superbowl.

 

[Tabascocat]

Mahomes will carve up man or zone if given time. He just needs to be under constant pressure by collapsing the pocket while containing the edges.

EzE breakout game would be magical. 2+ sacks lets go!!!!!

 

[jazzcat22]

The QB must go down and he must go down hard…..that is from an old NFL films….

So hit the NFL darling QB hard and often. Let’s just hope the KC Refs look the other way this time for those finger tap roughing calls.

those refs better be watching the Oline too.

Trey Smith is ruled out

If our 3 headed DT monsters aren't licking their chops at this matchup i don't know what will.

 

[DripTooHard]

On offense, KC will likely take away Pickens and force the Dak to CD and Ferg connection. CD better get his head right.

 

[Dorsett33]

I'm one that thinks Mahomes accuracy is that great especially with pressure. I would play majority man to see how the pressure goes. KC has not had a good O-line for awhile. Just have to contain him in the pocket and force him to throw it up for grabs as he often does.

I agree, he hasn't looked very sharp. Lets hope that continues!

The Refs are great at favoring KC. This year seems different. Although I did see another pick six by Molehill called back again.
