NFL DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF CONFIDENCE PICKS

  Kansas scraped by for the win last night.  It wasn’t  bad enough, Chiefs returner Nikko Remigio had broken through their coverage, hitting the open field and racing toward the end zone covering 63 yards on the opening kick.  BUT Teans CB.  Kris Boyd tracked him down, caught him and stripped the ball loose, however the ball was surrounded by red shirts, and maybe a couple of Texans.  Out manned the Chiefs  swiftly recovered the ball. (A BAD OMEN for the Texans).   Adding to the drama Boyd threw his helmet leading to a penalty then starting to push his coach. Not a good thing. Coach was not on the field to recover the FUMBLE.  Still the Texans stayed in the game.  Had Houston ZH had a FG kicker with them they might have had a chance to win. Had Houston have a kicker. jake Bates missed two FIELD GOALS. And  one Extra point.  ( As I recall, all off to the right.  That is 7 missed ;what should have been 7 sure.point.  Too many momentum changes missed.  The score should have been tied and go into OT…..OF COURSE YOU STII MUST TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE OBLIGATORY BAD CALLS FAVORING MAHOMES AND COMPANY.   Mahomes has made these obligatory calls the basis of his “CAREER” For those of you who are new here.

SUPER BOWL LVIII RECAP FROM ALLEGIANT STADIUM LAS VEGAS

[adrotate group=”1″]\   🏈 In a thrilling showdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the San Francisco 49ers. The game was a nail-biter, with both teams leaving it all on the field. KEY STATS FROM THE GAME: Final Score: Kansas City Chiefs 25, San Francisco 49ers 22. Period Scores: Chiefs: 1st Quarter (0), 2nd Quarter (3), 3rd Quarter (10), 4th Quarter (6), 1st OT (6). 49ers: 1st Quarter (0), 2nd Quarter (10), 3rd Quarter (0), 4th Quarter (9), 1st OT (3). SCORING SUMMARY The 49ers’ Jake Moody nailed a 55-yard FG in the 2nd quarter.  This gave the 99th overall pick, ROOKIE, the record for longest FG,  in SUPER BOWL HISTORY.  Which also gives him the longest FG in SUPER BOWL HISTORY, by a ROOKIE. The 49ers’ Juan Jennings caught a 21-yard TD pass in the 2nd quarter. The CHIEFS’l Harrison Butker made successful field goals from 28 and 57 yd FG in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. (This 57 yd FG erased the previous record set by Rookie Jake Moody in the 2nd quarter.  HOWEVER I believe the 55 yd FG by the rookie will stand as a record by a Rookie). The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 16-yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. The 49ers’ Brock Purdy found Juan Jennings for a 10 yard TD in the 4th quarter.  (You remember Brock Purdy…Mr Irrelevent. He has proved himself to have been grossly overlooked by the rest of the NFL teams during the draft). Both teams traded field goals in overtime, but the CHIEFS secured victory with a 3-yard touchdown by Mecole Hardman.  (Side note: Hardman’s full name is Carey Mecole Hardman Jr). GAME STATISTICS: CHIEFS: Total Yards (455), Passing Yards (325), Rushing Yards (130), Turnovers (2). 49ers: Total Yards (382), Passing Yards (272), Rushing Yards (110), Turnovers (2). The 49ers sought revenge after their 2020 Super Bowl loss to the CHIEFS, while the CHIEFS aimed for their third title in five years. In the end, it was the CHIEFS who emerged victorious, solidifying their dynasty status. The SUPER BOWL LVIII was a battle for the ages, and football fans everywhere were treated to an unforgettable spectacle. 🏈 Artie Fschal [adrotate group=”1″]\ Views: 120

How the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for Super Bowl LVIII

[wpcdt-countdown id=”15138″]  [adrotate group=”1″] The Kansas City CHIEFS are back in the Super Bowl for the third time in four years, and they are ready to take on the San Francisco 49ERS in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV.  The CHIEFS are coming off a thrilling comeback win over the Baltimore Baltimore RAVENS in the AFC Championship Game, while the 49ERS cruised past the Green Bay PACKERS in the NFC title game.  Both teams have high-powered offenses, stingy defenses, and charismatic coaches, making this a must-watch matchup for any football fan. But how are the CHIEFS preparing for the biggest game of the year? Here are some of the key factors that will shape their game plan and performance in SUPER BOWL LVIII. Staying healthy and focused One of the biggest challenges for any team heading into the Super Bowl is staying healthy and focused amid the hype and distractions of the week. The CHIEFS have been dealing with some injuries to key players, such as RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and LB: Willie Gay Jr., who  missed some practice time during the bye week.  However, HC: Andy Reid said he expects all of them to be ready for the game2. The CHIEFS are also trying to avoid any COVID-19 issues, as the pandemic is still a major concern for the NFL and the world.  The team has been following strict protocols and testing procedures, and has not reported any positive cases among players or staff in the past two weeks.  The CHIEFS are also limiting their travel and media obligations, as they will fly to Las Vegas on Saturday, the day before the game, and conduct most of their interviews virtually. Studying the 49ers and learning from the past The CHIEFS have a lot of respect for the 49ers, who are one of the most balanced and talented teams in the league.   The 49ers have a dynamic offense led by QB: Brock Purdy,, RB: Christian McCaffrey, and TE: George Kittle, who can attack the CHIEFS defense in multiple ways.  The 49ers also have a ferocious defense anchored by DE:  Nick Bosa, LB:  Fred Warner, and CB: Richard Sherman, who can pressure and disrupt the CHIEFS offense.    The CHIEFS are well aware of the 49ers’ strengths and weaknesses, as they faced them in Super Bowl LIV, where the CHIEFS rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to win 31-20..  The CHIEFS are studying the film from that game, as well as the 49ers’ recent games, to find any tendencies, patterns, or opportunities that they can exploit.  The CHIEFS are also learning from their own mistakes and successes, as they have improved in several areas since last year, such as run defense, red zone offense, and special teams. Trusting Patrick Mahomes and the offense The CHIEFS have one of the most explosive and versatile offenses in NFL history, and it all starts with their superstar QB:, Patrick Mahomes. the reigning Super Bowl MVP and the frontrunner for this year’s award, as he has thrown for 4,740 yards, 38 touchdowns, and six interceptions in the regular season, and added 580 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in the postseason.  Mahomes has a plethora of weapons at his disposal, such as  Kittle, ,WR:  Mecole Hardman,   and  TE: Travis Kelce, who all can make big plays and stretch the field. The CHIEFS are confident in their offense, and they are not afraid to be aggressive and creative with their play-calling. Reid and OC:  Eric Bieniemy have shown a knack for designing and executing innovative plays, such as the jet chip wasp, the underhand shovel pass, and the speed option, that catch the defense off guard and result in touchdowns.  The CHIEFS are also not afraid to overcome adversity, as they have proven time and again that they can come back from any deficit and score in bunches. Relying on the defense and the leaders The CHIEFS defense may not get as much attention as their offense, but it is equally important and impressive. The CHIEFS defense ranked 10th in the league in points allowed per game (22.6), 14th in yards allowed per game (358.3), and sixth in turnovers forced (22) in the regular season.  The CHIEFS defense also stepped up in the playoffs, holding the Cleveland Browns to 17 points and the Ravens to 24 points, and making crucial stops and turnovers in both games. The CHIEFS’ defense is led by defensive coordinator DC: Steve Spagnuolo, who has a reputation for devising effective game plans and schemes against elite offenses, such as the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.  The CHIEFS defense also has several leaders and playmakers, such as DT: Chris Jones, DE:  Frank Clark, can make an impact on any given play.               Conclusion The CHIEFS are ready for Super Bowl LVIII, and they are determined to repeat as champions and cement their legacy as one of the best teams ever.  The CHIEFS have the talent, the coaching, the experience, and the motivation to win the game, and they are not taking anything for granted. The CHIEFS know that the 49ers are a formidable opponent, and they are preparing accordingly. The CHIEFS are confident, but not cocky, and they are focused, but not nervous. The CHIEFS are ready to play their best game of the year, and they are ready to make history. Views: 156
