SNF: Colts at Chiefs (NBC)

I stand wrong..i thought the colts were dead in the water when luck retired. What a win. It has to be one of the most impressive, stunning wins we've seen in 5+years. Unless youre tom brady...going into arrowhead for a night game vs that offense is almost impossible to win

Fo sho.

Jones and Fischer are big losses. Good thing the AFC west is below average. 

And Irving's dumbass didn't help bu stepping all over Mahomes ankle.

Tyreek will definitely move this safetys away from the box and clear those lanes. Hope Shady's freelance play limits his touches,  that fumble deep in Indy territory killed that opportunity. 

Plus it will make it harder for teams to double cover Kelce.  The thing that is concerning me most about the defense is that no one is making the nail in the coffin/stake through the heart plays.  Every rule change the league makes helps the offenses.   You won't see Steel Curtain type of defenses any more in the NFL.  Your defense can't win with body shots.  You only get so many chances at landing a clear hook right on the chin of the offense.  When you get one you have to connect with it.  You don't see our defensive backs trying to play the ball.  You don't see a second man in on the tackle trying to punch out or strip the football.  Hell, a lot of times you don't see a second man in on the tackle.  I would rather the defense make three or four momentum and morale crushing plays than thirty routine plays that the other team has forgotten about two plays later.  Particularly when you take into account that putting a team into a 4th and 2 or less situation means there is still only about a 50% chance your defense is coming off of the field by the end of the next play.  Under normal situations if a defense is facing a 3rd and 8 and gives up a gain of 5 or 6 yards they have done their job.  With this team they haven't.  Given how teams are playing the Chiefs now if the Chiefs defense is facing a 3rd and 8 it is really a 3rd and 4 because of how aggressively other teams go for it on fourth down when they are playing the Chiefs.

I was listening to Mr. Rock and Roll and Andre Ware yesterday (to help kill a four hour drive) and Ware giggled his ass off about how bad the Chiefs were going to beat the Colts.
