This game hinges on Roy Williams

I think LJ's newfound success will take a serious turn for the worse after Roy gets his first smashing tackle!!!!!

Never seen the term "body bag" used as a verb before. Good job, Nors. A bit misguided, but passionate all the same.

I started that phrase early 90's watching a Monday night Eagles/Skins game. They were carting players off the field left and right.

We need to have Roy to Body bag Larry Johnson early. A nice kill shot would send a message to Chiefs early on. They are going to try and punch us. I'm sending my toughest dog to this dog fight.

KC is very dominant upfront and likes to pound the ball. They have a QB on in age that can get dinged and beat up when hit.

This is the quintessential opportunity to send Roy on mega run blitzes and or QB blitzes. Flood holes and eventually he's going to take LJ out. LJ kinda runs upright and is game to get a Roy kill shot. Better yet Roy puts Green on the turf a few times and he starts seeing triple vision!

Their vertical game is not a real threat.

Roy, turn the tide. I sense we get into the 20's easy on Chiefs. Gotaa keep the Chiefs in the teens.

8-5 going into Skins and we are scratching at 9-5 and have St Louis to end season. I like our chances out if we win Sunday! Carolina another slugfest. We have been in every game to date.

I have to disagree....a good, solid defensive performance may depend on Roy, but I think he'll spend a lot of time with Tony Gonzales. I think winning or losing depends almost entirely on our OL.

You can't defeat anyone unless you can run a little bit. The OL has to allow our RBs to at least make 3-4 yards from time to time and pick up short yardage first downs. The OL must protect Bledsoe in the passing game. If the OL performs, we should be able to score around 20 points and win the game behind a decent defensive performance.

If the OL isn't decisively better than last week, it won't matter what the defense does because we won't score more than 10-13 points.
