Okay, let's acknowledge this fact first: the Chiefs are lucky to be in the playoffs. Yes, Herm, lucky. Our boys slid in the back door. They did, indeed, win an important game last Sunday to make it all happen, but when you need three other teams to lose as well, and two of those three losses come in overtime, that is the football definition of "lucky."

But now it's time to move on from that little debate. It doesn't matter anymore how they Chiefs got there... they're in the postseason. They've got a shot. And after giving up on them weeks ago (myself included), all the Kansas City football fans are squarely back on the wagon. Now everyone (myself included) is talking about the Colts' weak rush defense. Hand the ball to Larry Johnson and we win, right? Right?

I hope so. I'll be glued to the TV on Saturday afternoon with everyone else in town. I'm also a Penn State alumnus so I'm rooting for my fellow Nittany Lion, Larry Johnson, to run over every defender he sees. Of course, the Colts have some quarterback guy who's pretty good. Oh, but he can't win the big game. He can't win in the playoffs. The Chiefs are a shoo-in then, right? A bad run defense and a superstar who can't win in the playoffs. It all adds up to a great day for a city starved for some postseason football success. Right??

Well, no matter what happens, I'm just glad to be watching a Chiefs playoff game this weekend. I was thinking about making a prediction here on the blog, but I thought better of it. It's easier with no paper trail (Blog Trail?) to point to, right?
