Take the ball! Why change a winning formula? Drive the field, score and take their crowd out of the game just like last week. Trust in Joe!

It's getting to be almost shocking how often talking heads get a stat or simple name wrong these days. 

The start of the game should be the most loose that Mahomes and Kelce are going to be all half. If you can get a big 8 minute drive to start the game, they're just going to be sitting on the sideline the entire time trying to stay loose in the cold, I like them having to come in cold, tight, and sore, and try to answer.

Marvin used to defer. I actually used to like knowing we got the ball first after half, but this team is different.

Let them get the short end of the stick on offensive possesions in the 1/2 half and allow Lou to adjust at halftime

Excellent point. I picked defer just cause that seems to be the standard. I know we've done really well scoring first but I didn't even think about our 2nd half adjustments defensively.
