Your Texans/Chiefs Divisional Round Playoff Game Thread

Can I wishcast a Houston W? Can they actually string two above average games together for the first time this season? I’ve got some tids and bits regarding this tilt so here we go…

To The Game!

Texans/Chiefs:

-Is this Reid’s best coaching job ever? (and by extension, Spags) To lose only one game (I consider the final game to be a throwaway) while failing to score 30 points in any tilt is a considerable accomplishment. Given that Kelce (all his quickness/explosion is gone) is starting to look his age and the wr’s have been pedestrian at best, this is smoke and mirrors and past reputation sitting pretty.

-There’s too much talk regarding ends Anderson (11 sacks, 30 pressures) and Hunter needing to sack the bananas out of Mahomes in order for the Texans to win but it’s far more nuanced than that. What they need to do is shrink the pocket on a regular basis and close off running lanes when the eventual Patty Scramble occurs. They’ll have to stop any tendency to run wide although they’ll be pushed that way.

-The Texans are 7-3 when Mixon averages 4+ ypc.

-Chiefs Threepeat?: No team that has won back-to-back Super Bowls has ever made it back to the Super Bowl that third year.

-Mahomes has never lost in the divisional round-he’s 6-0. He’s also never turned the ball over in those six games. BASTARD!

-I ragged on the Chiefs wr’s but beyond Nico the Texans cupboard is bare.

It doesn’t look good brothers and sisters, but let’s take a gander anyway. Have at it.
