Well the Chiefs have struggled against little know QB's that they don't have a book on. Especially guys who have some mobility. Derek Anderson, Quinn whoever he is for Jacksonville, and Seneca Wallace racked up yards against the Chiefs. But pocket passers who the Chiefs had a book on were generally kept in check. Also a few years back Herm came up with a pretty good game plan to kill the Colts, mind you the weather helped him out a bit. Manning is the best there is and his receivers are top notch so this should be interesting. If the Chiefs can keep them out of the end zone early and get their running game going and get a coulple big plays on special teams than they have a shot. If they don't get that, it's another 45-10 Indy win agains a Wild Card team.
I hate the Colts, hate Irsay, and hate them for beating the Chiefs at home in 2 of the Chiefs last 3 playoff games. I'd hate Manning and Harrison too, but they're so damn good you have to respect their ability. KC owes them some big time pay back. But I don't see it coming this year. Than again I figured the Chiefs to go 3-13 after week two, hopefully I'm wrong again.

I don't blame you at all for Hating Isray. That Chiefs/Colts game last time was an amazing one, hopefully this one is just as good.
The reason I went off on everyone thinking KC has this game won is just the media has basically all but guaranteed a win for the Cheifs. The only reason they give is of course Johnson Vs The Colts run defense. Indy is undefeated at home this year too boot yet I bet we don't get a spread over 4.5 points. I do enjoy this situation however because everyone in the media has given up on Indy this year.
The big thing is going to be who gets up first. If Indy gets a few touchdowns up on KC and makes KC go more aerial, then Mathis and Freeny will have a field day against Green. If KC gets the lead, they have the ability to keep Manning off the field.
