KC Chiefs tryin to fool somebody

Think you're on to something:



The Chiefs list nobody on Status Report, indicating everybody is probable. But Hali (knee) didn't practice Fri; Houston (knee) was limited

 

there is no try, only do

 

Ben didn't practice Wednesday. He is listed as probable, or more specifically, not listed at all. The rules changed. Nothing being hidden. No games being played with the report.

Hali didn't practice today though. Usually guys miss any other day but Friday. There is also talk Justin Houston will only play on passing downs because he is banged up.

 

I understand and agree. Not arguing in the least. This is one and done. If a player can play they will.

 

Punting OB carries its own intrinsic distance penalty.

 

True, but it makes no sense why KOs are penalized on OOB kicks, whereas with a punt, you have an opportunity to pin the opponent with bad field position, but can screw up and give them good field position. With KO's, it's 100% penalty. No sense whatsoever.

 

Only person fooled is Guru.

 

Keep in mind, a kickoff can be recovered by the kicking team. A punt cannot. So, the out of bounds rule kind of makes sense.

 

I completely agree I've been looking at this game and our special teams play will need to step up big. We've been shaky on special teams all year. We've looked good in all other departments in our winning streak. Kelce, Hill, and Maclin are the players we need to shutdown. Ware has looked a little rundown and banged up in the last couple games. Although they do have West who can do about the same thing as Ware.

It almost always comes down to can we get pressure on the QB. Like last Sunday we'll need to get to the QB and cause some turnovers. I think Tomlin and the crew have an idea who's healthy or not. I'm sure they'll game plan for Houston and Hali even if at 50%.

 

Everyone already knows who's hurt and banged up... It's meaningless psychological warfare at this point

 

Stay in your lanes and play disciplined ball... Prep for their best at its finest

 

Unless you boot the kickoff through the end zone, it will be returned. You can't really avoid a dangerous return man, other than a touchback. If you kick off OB, where would you fairly spot the ball for the receiving team? They get it at the 25 for touchbacks; if the kicking team can't kick it that well, then the 25 seems an unfair result for an OB kick (that does let you avoid the returner).

If you try to avoid the returner by punting OB, your angled punt nets far fewer yards than if you'd hit it down Main Street. So you've "penalized" yourself.

 

A guy I know who hates the Steelers and is a bandwagon cowboys fan says the chiefs are better than Steelers right now lol

 

Cowboy fans always arrogant and they haven't won a SB in decades. I guess because their finally relevant. As for what he said we shall see tomorrow and hopefully he eats his words.

 

Steelers got this

 

I will be highly disappointed if the Steelers kick to Hill in any fashion,
He has shown that he is a game changer, negate his chances.

 

Can we try somebody else other than Toussant, the guy is terrible.

 

a KO is a free ball after 10 yards, where a punt can only be downed by the kicking team unless touched by the receiving team first.

 

I understand the rules, it just doesn't make sense. Why the penalty? Why not just mark it where it went out? Or, why not penalize punts in the same manner?

I get it, just don't agree because it's not very logical.
