At Stake: Pride on who has the better coach (I think we know the answer to that) and a higher draft pick for the loser.
When the Jets Have the Ball: Look for the Jets to try and run the ball on the Chiefs, a team that hasn’t fared much better in stopping the run that the Jets have. Leon Washington could be very effective as the Chiefs lack discipline in keeping gaps a wealness where Washington can excel.
When the Chiefs Have the Ball: The Jets have shown sparks of stopping the run lately, but they are going to have to balance coverage versus stuffing the box. Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe can keep the Jets honest.
Special Teams: The Chiefs have stuggled in stopping returners, an area where the Jets can excel. Leon Washington and Brad Smith could be difference makers in this game.

I’m just an amateur lip reader but I think Mangenius pretty much summed up the season on that botched 4th and 1 “un-****in-believable”.
This team goes no place with KC at QB.
If we get rid of Chad it is a huge mistake…..
clemens throws a great shovel pass.
Jury is still out on KC – must improve his decision making & accuracy. My biggest concern is that he has really regressed since Pitt game. Still think that with an improved OL & healthy WR corps he will be better.
That game made my Sunday Ticket subscription worth every penny :)
I guess I’m in the minority but I’m not ready to give up on Clemens yet. I think with a good offensive line he can be a good QB. The potential is definitely there – that bomb to Cotchery was 60 yards in the air and right on the money.
I think if you’re going into next season thinking playoffs, then you have an open competition between Chad and Clemens. If you anoint Clemens the starter without giving Chad a shot, then you’re conceding to rebuilding.
I agree with Andrew on that 4th and 1 call – it was awful. The problem was it was a bad call the first time they did it on 4th and 1 and they got away with it.
Overall, they weren’t as bad as 4-12 this year, but they weren’t as good as 10-6 last year. I think 8-8 is reasonable next year given they’ll have an easier schedule.
