Chiefs vs. Broncos: Five Questions To Be Answered For KC

The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos will meet at Invesco Field on Sunday and there are plenty of questions surrounding KC. I've gathered five questions I have for the game on Sunday.

Who will play safety? This is an interesting question. Jon McGraw and Kendrick Lewis are both listed as questionable for the game. The Chiefs also promoted safety Ricky Price to the active roster. Per Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com, both McGraw and Lewis traveled with the team. With Price's promotion, and both guys traveling with the team, I think we're looking at a game day decision for one of those two guys.

Star-divide

Can the Chiefs win in Denver? Here's a nice stat from Bob Gretz of BobGretz.com: The last time the Chiefs notched a November victory in Denver, Len Dawson was the QB. No November victories in Mile High since 1974. The Chiefs are leading the division but they need this game very badly. They need to hold onto their lead. To do that, they'll need to win in Denver for the first time in 36 years.

Can the Chiefs offense be productive without Dexter McCluster? This is a big one and hopefully one we don't have to worry about outside this week (it doesn't sound like McCluster will play Sunday against the Broncos). If he can't go, the Chiefs are going to need to find another take-it-the-distance type of player outside of Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs offense is getting better but not having McCluster -- averaging just a few touches per game -- has been hurting them the last two weeks. The Chiefs will likely be run heavy on Sunday so Charles may get his chance to be the take-it-the-distance guy.

Will the Chiefs run, run, run? The fans answer to this would be a resounding yes. As a fan, I'm hoping KC just hands it off time and time again to Thomas Jones and Charles. The Chiefs got away from that last week and we saw the result. Matt Cassel said this week that the Chiefs are going back to doing what got them to this point and I'm interpreting that as a healthy run game.

Will Dwayne Bowe continue the streak? Bowe has caught a touchdown in four consecutive games. If touchdowns matter to you, then this is the most productive four-game streak of Bowe's career (by a long shot). Bowe's supposed to be the No. 1 receiver so I like that he has some chemistry with Cassel. If fans have anything to say about it, Bowe's streak won't continue because the Jones and Charles will be handling the ball every play.

I hate this stat

Teams are 1-7 after playing the Raiders, we still got this no matter how many bad omens pop up though. I don’t feel worried at all, and I usually do before games.

You not feeling worried, has me worried.

Probably numb...

After forgetting your jacket. I’m feeling fairly good about today. I’ll bet there was a lot of focus on discipline in practice this week. The Chiefs will come out swinging.

Well if he's feeling numb

then he’s not feeling anything at all…

Technicalities...

Then it must be a sudden onset of nausea from being around too many Broncos fans.

I'm worried that you're worried.

I have an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one.

Well if you start worrying

Its going to worry me that others are worried!

Now I'm worried about causing others to be worried.

I'm worried about whether the sports bar

will have enough alcohol for the celebration required when we kick Denver’s ass.

Concerned

Kansas City should win, but they are not dominate enough to guarantee the win. With their inability to put away winnable games makes me concerned. Plus last year was last game of season and Denver didn’t seem to be playing for anything. I know their record is 2-6, but it seems like they are working hard to try and right the ship.

They were playing for a playoff berth last season.

I'm an idiot.

I just remember them being 8-7 and thinking they weren’t in it.

by Denver_ChiefsFan on Nov 14, 2010 11:16 AM CST up reply actions  

Heh.

You’re not an idiot for thinking the Broncos sucked. ;)

No,

Just an idiot for forgetting they had something to play for. Which makes me that much happier that we ran all over them and made sure they didn’t have something to play for.

by Denver_ChiefsFan on Nov 14, 2010 11:28 AM CST up reply actions  

I'm not going to call you an idiot...

but I would agree that part of what made that victory special was crapping all over their playoff chances. Winning for the first time ever at that field in a game that mattered was pretty awesome!

I feel

somewhat positive. Several people have suggested that JC and Jones will be in the game at the same time in several of our schemes using JC in place of “THE OW”. That could be a nice new wrinkle that causes fits for the Donk’s D. Hope Moe has a big day too. Either way 3 can’t get here fast enough. Chiefs Will!!!

by BucktheFroncos on Nov 14, 2010 8:35 AM CST reply actions  

Tony Mo

I hope weis realizes that he gets open better than any receiver on our team right now. It frustrates me when they keep him in to block on passing plays

I may be a smart ass, but at least I'm not a donkey

Last time I checked

Before last year, we hadn’t won a game in Mile High since 2000. So here comes Todd Haley to break that streak.

He will break this one also.

When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

Jamaal above all. #25 ftw.

CHIEFS WILL!

wish it did snow ...

i like those bad weather games … it make teams play harder and you always get a comedy moment in them but the only way bowe gets another td if someone other than champ bailey is covering him

Flowers, Carr, Lewis, & Berry = SCARY SECONDARY

NEW ARROWHEAD = BETTER TEAM ... CHIEFS 2011 AFC WEST CHAMPS

RELEASE THE McCLUSTER BOMB!!

by Chiefs619 on Nov 14, 2010 9:22 AM CST reply actions  

The Chiefs Should put Javier Arenas at Safety or Move Brandon Carr to Safety and Javier Arenas at Carr's Position

It would be sweet to see this because we would get to see Arenas, Carr, Flowers, and Berry starting at the 4 defensive backs. BUT it may not really matter because all the Broncos do is past and Arenas will be in at nickleback most of the game.

Jamaal Charles + Thomas Jones= 2010 Playoffs
