  @mayjay You play to win the game! You play to win the game? You play to win the game!!! Herm trying to convince himself in front of the media.

  I liked Gun as the D coordinator. A real hard ass, but it fell apart as the coach and he never got his mojo back.

  @mayjay Best hope D backs aren’t leading tacklers either-means you’re getting beat far too often.

  The Rams have a clear plan and are sticking to it. The Eagles had a clear plan last year and stuck to it. The Patriots and Steelers always have a plan and stick to it.

  The question is, do the Chiefs have a clear plan, or are they just making moves?

  It doesn’t hurt you to be aggressive at the corner spot in today’s NFL. Since you can’t get physical downfield, gambling is better than just letting the better QBs (Rogers, Brady, Roethlisberger, etc) just pick you apart a piece at a time. Maybe you give up some plays, but if you get two picks that your offense turns into points, you still win. You can’t just hope for three and outs. You have to be able to either pressure the QB and get sacks, or force turnovers with aggressive DB play. The Rams have chosen aggressive DB play. The Eagles are going for QB pressure. I don’t know which one will work, but I am curious to find out.

  If someone in the regular workplace asked either of those questions in an interview, that business would be fined, or that individual would be fired, end of story.

  Embarrassing is the only word for it.

  @Kcmatt7 is right on the money here. The Chiefs turned Alex Smith into $17M of cap space, a third round pick, and a very good third corner. So immediately they have improved their defense (they now have one of the best, if not the best slot corners in the league).

  They have a way to improve even more with both proven players (cap space) and unproven guys (draft pick). They also have flexibility with trade options. They will probably not re-sign Spencer Ware, which frees up more cap space. Their RB situation is set, and its low cost. They can sign a solid backup QB without breaking the bank. They can add more help on both the offensive and defensive lines.

  Simply put, the Chiefs put themselves in the best position to strengthen their roster in 2018 and 2019 by moving Smith, which means they can maybe make a run if not this year, then in 2019.

  Guaranteed mediocrity (at best) on the defensive side of the ball next season in KC. Poor Justin Houston, what a waste of talent.

  @Kcmatt7 I honestly wasn’t impressed with Revis and think he years past his prime, maybe he’s worth keeping to help some the young guys.

  @Ralster I’m a big 3-4 fan, but it puts huge pressure on your OLBs. Houston is a stud. But the other side has been horribly weak. It also creates more pressure on your DTs at the point of attack, particularly when one side is compromised. Also, in the 4-3, it’s a little easier to walk a safety up than a 3-4 as well , and I think Berry handled that really well (in the 3-4) because he was so good. With a weaker safety, it’s some big recovery (or you don’t chance walking them up in the first plance), which compromises the run. Ugh.

  Reid is a good coach for a bad team, because he can turn a 5-11 team into a playoff team.

  However, Reid is not a good coach if you are trying to actually win in the playoffs. He can take you from mediocre to competent, but he cannot take you from good to great. He is similar to Marty Schottenheimer in that way. They can keep you from being bad, but they won’t necessarily get you over the hump to win the big one.

  Bill Belichick is the opposite type of coach. He can’t take you from mediocre to competent. We saw that when he was in Cleveland. But if you already have pieces in place, he can build from there to make your team great. Andy Reid could succeed in Cleveland because he could get enough out of guys to go from 0 wins this past season to 5 wins next year, then 8 or 9 the year after that, but they would peak with between 9 and 11 wins, and maybe one or two playoff wins, depending on how long he was there.

  The Chiefs are no longer trying to build up from the Pioli disaster. It’s time to hire the “championship” coach.

  Too bad the Packers and their coach are so average around Rogers. I’d like to see him not have to carry a team. I don’t think we’ve seen all Rodgers can be due to this supporting cast.

  umm they not that average. - hell when you have 2/3 of your sevondary on the defense hurt- -your top two running backs out. an Offensive line that any kind of combination not even their regular starting O-line but just a patch work line they could put together and be able to use that same line Sunday was just the 4th week THAT line was together.

  Been battling injuries with your receiving corp - Now Devanta is out because of a cheap shot - when healthy they not average by any means. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  The best thing about today’s Chiefs game? The KU game is on at the same time, so no need to watch.

  Deshaun Watson seems to be right up there with future Brady discussions. Pocket poise is unreal. I became a fan of him watching him win the National Championship, and he’s kept right on going in the NFL. How rare a rookie performance. That Carson Wentz kid in Philly isnt bad either.

  Patrick Mahomes will shine for KC. But this is Alex’s year. But also, unfortunately, KC is getting exposed, as usually happens when Andy’s scheming starts to get figured out. If Alex Smith has to scramble around with regularity on busted play after busted play, trying to get a 1st down, I hate to say he’s on borrowed time, like every QB is in that situation. It happened to Randall Cunningham, Mike Vick, and all the great scramblers at some point. Limit the risk of such plays. Steelers just revealed the flaws in the Chiefs, and people are exploiting it. And I hate the Steelers. The Cowboys outschemed Andy Reid also. Where were the 3 TE sets when Dallas was sending 2 people at both OLT and ORT at the same time (Romo in the booth saying “nobody can stop it”). Add a TE to each side. I only say that as Ive seen Andy do that before, why not then? Get Alex killed, and we’ll see Mahomes, ready or not. But he’ll have the same poor-D squad Alex does.

  @KUSteve I guess you didn’t win the week one billion dollar pot?!? I forgot to play, but then I have forgotten to play every week so far. Does look entertaining though. I fully intend to give it a go some time.

  I’d say your picks look nice, but it doesn’t mean anything since I’m a complete noob at fantasy sports.

  Best of luck!
