Our ‘bend but don’t break’ defense is exactly what gives the Chiefs offenses fits. They move the ball well before the red-zone, but struggle in close quarters because they lose their speed advantage.(24th in the red zone as an offense)

Miami excels in red-zone defense. (Yards allowed VS Points allowed).

I dont think this game will be the ‘walk in the park’ Chiefs fans and national pundits believe it will be.

Yeah, they aren't a great pound the ball team and Kelsey is the only real red zone threat. Limit big plays, dont turnover the ball and we have a shot. We match up in the secondary as good as any team with them. Offense, defense, or special teams is still going to need to put up 25 to give us a real shot.
 
I'm not expecting Miami to win, but they could. I also think it will be closer than most expect. The offense has to kick it into gear, though, and play more like the second half versus Cincy.
 
Tyreek Hill scares me on the Chefs 30 with 70 yards in front of him.... but on our 8, in the red-zone? Not so much... we can limit their scoring! I believe that

We just need to put up 30 points collectively between our offense, defense and ST.

We won’t win with 19 points. But you give our Defense 30 ... we can win this game.
 
Think their red zone offense being so bad is why they have had quite a few close games. They are an explosive, big play team that can drop 21 on you out of no where. They are not unbeatable and I think the gap between them or any other top team and a middle of the road team like the Dolphins, Raiders isn't that far apart.
 
I’d love to see us win but I wouldn’t bet on it but I’m definitely the type that never rules anything out.

Its not that they move the ball better outside of the RZ, they just score more TDs from out of the redzone than anyone else... They're 13th in number of plays from the RZ. They simply just dont get there alot because they score TDs before getting there very often, more often than anyone else actually...
 
I would say so, but I'm an optimist. I think it's close going into the fourth quarter. How's that?

I think and i'm including myself here that we still don't completely trust the Dolphins. The Denver game is too recent in our memories. That was an example of a game that they absolutely needed to win and had they would have them tied with the Bills right now headed into this game.

So many of us don't know what to expect from this team. Certainly, They have the opportunity to beat KC. But most and rightfully so are expecting them to lose. Part of the delimma becomes is it a close game down to the wire or do they get blown out?

Ultimately, we all want a win and if we lose then we want to see fight.
