Dunno if it's Kubiak or what it is exactly. They've scored 17, 12 and 27 points in each of the last three first halves... and they've combined for 0 points in each of the last three second halves. How does a team do that?
17-3 @ SD at halftime, game ends same score.
12-0 vs OAK at halftime, game ends 12-15.
27-13 @ PIT at halftime, game ends 27-34.

So weird...
You know what else is "so weird?" As you so eliquently pointed out last week in your attempt to demean their win, the Chiefs only scored 10 points against the Chargers, yet only a week later they scored 34, on the road (in good weather) to beat the Ravens. So weird...:-)
Meanwhile Lossweiler, and his Jeckyll and Hyde offense, continues to sink the Donx at home and on the road. Also so weird...:-) [Reply]

I think I've been pretty fair with both teams and the ugliness at times of their wins. You'd never admit it, and that's fine.
The stupid fumble early set up PIT for the first score, but DEN rallied. The second half woes the last 3 weeks are a problem. They've played well enough to win all 3, but they've lost two. The second half issues are a concern, but it was good to see the offense play better on the road coming off the OAK debacle.
KC's defense bent a bit yesterday, allowing BAL to move the ball, thankfully they capitalized on two huge turnovers for scores. KC's offense isn't scaring anyone, it's all about the defense - has been all year. Denver's defense didn't do their job in the 2nd half yesterday, that was the big difference.

The way things are going, Denver is looking at being the 3rd best team in the division next season.

Exactly. Denver has the worst half time talks apparently. [Reply]
It's completely realistic to think Denver is the 3rd best team next season. It is extremely difficult to fix an entire OL in one offseason, and Brock is struggling.
The Raiders on the rise whether we want to admit it or not. [Reply]

They do that by not having a run game...Pittsburgh adjusted and completely shut down the pass. That was the 31st ranked pass defense that blanked them. Going 3-and-out..not using any clock. Defense got gassed...
Like I said months ago...no run game, in winter, is death.
Cincy will do the same....but have a much better defense. They will make Assmeller beat them... [Reply]

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves...
Our defense is obviously the strength of the team, but I'm sick and tired of idiots like you talking about our offense like it's as bad as yours. We're still a top 10 scoring offense, and one of the most balanced teams in the NFL. [Reply]

:-) Classic Mule Tool Talk. Keep talking, cuz the Chiefs keep proving you wrong.
Meanwhile, as I told you, you better start worrying about your QB's this season rather than waiting till next...:-) [Reply]

KC has scored more points and allowed less points than the over-rated Donkos...to the tune of 60 more net points. All this while giving up a home game to London. Keep thinking that dumpster fire is getting fixed in the next two weeks...Teams know how to defend Assmeller now. That cupcake schedule..early on... is coming to roost. Luckily for that shit team that Cleveland crapped the bed..otherwise this conversation isn't happening. [Reply]

Things balance out - KC his getting the cupcakes to close out the season.
And, again - just because I said teams weren't scared of KC's offense, you shouldn't make a direct correlation that I'm saying Denver's offense is better. Denver's offense has been a hot mess the last month.
We can go back to the bye week and I've never had any thoughts about this Broncos' team doing anything worth a damn in the playoffs. And, that stance hasn't changed. I'd love to see Denver secure the #2 seed, which they still can - but that doesn't mean that I think they can win a playoff game. They are way too off balance right now.
Denver could advance as a #2, #3 or a #5 at this point and I wouldn't expect anything special happening in the playoffs. Hell, they could miss out entirely and aside from it being a buzzkill way to end the season, I'm not going to lose much sleep over it at this point.
The team has really fizzled when it matters most the last 2 weeks, hell the last 3 weeks... it is what it is. And you guys should be loving every minute of it... the Chiefs are on a roll. [Reply]
