    If I were a betting man (and I am) I completely stay away from any playoff game involving Andy Reid.

    This game will be a toss up. Whoever gets the big play will win it. I expect a low scoring defensive struggle. Perhaps a defensive TD will be the decision maker

    Man, wish we had a QB. I want to feel confident going into this game especially since it's at home but it's hard feeling confident going into a game like this with Hoyer as your QB. I'm going into this game/playoffs hoping for the best but expecting little.

    That said this has been a big turnaround as season has gone on and whatever playoff run the team has whether long or short is gravy.

    Mercilus and Watt will be key at maintaining contain, because they killed us with overpursuit in the first game. Once you can defend against the screen and QB scramble, then you can open the cage and unleash all hell with Clowney.

    It's gonna be low scoring, but we have a great shot with the best player on both O and D.

    One of the keys to our turnaround this year has been turnovers, and the Chiefs are +14 in that category. For that reason I do not feel too good about this game. The defense is going to have to play out of their mind while Hoyer protects the football and perhaps Hopkins making another unbelievable catch in the endzone.

    I think the MLBs are the key. They have to contain Smith and Kelce.

    After that early pick by Hoyer which set up an easy touchdown and the busted play on Kelce the Texans really settled down and actually played pretty well. Hopefully they don't get down early in this game again. Not sure they will be able to come back against the chiefs defense if they are down 14 points again.

    game plan for the chiefs will be simple, quick passes to neutralize our pass rush. Don't forget how to tackle, and we will have shot at taking this.

    We can't let their TE (I think Kelce?) murder us again like he did in week 1.

    Andy Reid is 5-0 against the Texans.

    I'm really hoping that the stomping we saw week 1 was just a case of early season malaise on the part of the Texans.

    I think we lose again in a low scoring game.

    If the Texans win and Steelers win, does that mean the Texans draw the Patriots?

    Big difference this time is that our linebacker and safety play should be vastly improved.

    Bruh, the lowest over/under in the history of the NFL is higher than that, haha.

    40 is pretty low...and after all the bets start coming in, I dont see it going lower than 38 by kick off. Do I think that they will go over? Probably not, but a 21-17 game doesnt seem that far fetched and that's flirting with the over/under number.

    Thanks!

    I'm being optimistic that we can beat the Chiefs. So we can get another shot at the injured plagued Patriots.

    I'd much rather play the Broncos...their QB situation is horrid right now. Without exploding in the run game yesterday, they would have lost to the Chargers. That's a team that is completely falling apart.

    The Patriots have been playing poorly, but some of that is because of injuries and some of that is by design. If you watch their games these last two weeks, they have completely dumbed down the offense and been about as vanilla as possible...looks like they are doing pre-season walkthroughs. Edelman will also be back by that game, so the offense should start clicking like it always has been.
