@Crimsonorblue22 Scratch my last comment. Apparently he cannot practice either. I do believe he can work out and get medical/trainer care.
Not sure how this fits in with your info! Maybe he practiced Fri before it was announced.
-
I’d like to know Ross’ side of the story, but “dragging” someone thru your house isn’t the best look. - I’d cut him if there isn’t more to the story and probably even if there is. Zero tolerance for Domestic Violence.

Exempt list rules
What Can You Do While on Commissioner’s Exempt List?
The rules while being on the Commissioner’s Exempt List are set and clear. An NFL player who is on the Exempt List cannot participate in any football activities during that time.
Although the player cannot participate in practice or attend games, they are allowed to be present at the facility for meetings, and workouts and receive treatment if needed.
The players are also paid while on the list. It’s not considered a punishment that comes with a financial loss and is used more as a placeholder for the league to gather further information before they absolve or slap down punishment on a player.

Anyone else think Denver might be a close game today? Mahomes is recovering from the flu and for Denver this is their super bowl game. After today, the Chiefs travel to Germany to play the Dolphins, then play the Eagles. I sure hope our guys don’t forget Denver has just enough talent and energy to upset an unfocused Chiefs’ team.
-
I expect a close boring game
-
Well shit. Maybe literally about Mahomes! Sucks.
If by chance he doesn’t play, think the Chiefs can still win games?
-
Yes, Denver.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk It will be challenging but possible, D will need to step up even bigger.
-
Just read that Mahomes will play, he has been getting IVs
-
What a poor start. Jeez. Townsend had the flu and had to try to tackle the runnner. Not a good start
-
Butker had the flu
-
Mahomes flu game; so far not so good.
-
Not a great call!
-
Out of synch
Better regroup at halftime
-
Not looking good
Team did not come ready.
This can happen when you go on the road against team with a losing record, recall week 3 loss to Colts last year.
-
Ugh
-
Bummed! Flu bug and injuries!
-
Flu sucks, wish Mahomes had more WR help for a day like this.
-
It’s Taylor Swift’s fault.
-
Dang. i didn’t get to watch today. I saw some plays on RedZone.
What went wrong?

Pretty much everthing except the kickers, from what I could tell.
-
5 to’s. Mecole dropped a punt, turned into a Denver Td. So many mistakes.
-
Saw the Mecole drop. Figured we solved that problem by signing him!
I also saw a few highlights where Rice and Moore dropped passes — Moore in the endzone.
Sounds like a clumsy day.
-
Beautiful stadium. Here I just thought Frankfurt was just another name for a hotdog. So, Andy’s team waited until Friday to get to Germany, while the much smarter fins got there on Tuesday. All the Chiefs will be playing jetlagged and the Dolphins will be much better adjusted. I saw that Mrs. Mahomes was in NY hanging with Kelsey’s girlfriend. I’m guessing they will travel to Germany together to watch the game. I can’t believe it, but Kelsey plays better with Taylor in the house. Oh yeah, according to his dad, we are pronouncing Travis’s name wrong; it’s Kels, not Kel see.
-
Before you call Andy dumb and Daniel’s (Mr Vaping pot on the sidelines) a genius you ought consider past results. The Chiefs left Thursday which is the exact same as the last time the played an international game and stomped the other team a new mud hole.
Travis Kelce dropped that name news a few years ago and then said both pronunciation’s are fine.
-
@stoptheflop Maybe the Dolphins will get overwhelmed by 5 days of German food and beer.
-
That was some jetlagged TD. About time Mahomes and the WRs started to play
-
Chiefs slept on the plane. Andy’s no rook!
-
KC defense is fully awake. Now it’s time for 7 more pts
-
Get off of them or throw the dang flag!
-
Enjoying their music. Don’t think they play, “fight for your right to party” in KC.
-
Nice first half. McDuffie mugged Tyreek and forced the fumble; fun return TD after the fumble. Travis Kels sure hasn’t done much: 2 rec, 7 yds. Good grief, we have a whole day of NFL after the Chiefs win this one (I hope).
-
@stoptheflop boy that was fun! Think Hill will shut up now?

I still like Tyreek. I don’t mind his comment about the Chiefs shouldn’t have traded him. KC was definitely better when he was on the team, so I miss his stellar play. As long as he doesn’t beat KC, I’ll still like him.
-
@stoptheflop I’m glad he’s gone, great player terrible human.
-
@stoptheflop He didn’t want to stay in KC, he made that clear. Think it was smart to get value out of him when he would have left anyway.
-
4pts Chris Jones.
️
-
Except for the first drive, Same old predictable play calling in this Frankfurt game
-
German fans look like they have a good time. Less anger
-
These announcers, are they new to us? Don’t seem to know us. Not as sharp.
-
Hardman
is he dumb, how many chances does he get back there?
-
Not a great feeling in this win! But, a win is a win!
-
It just feels like the chiefs are just hanging on in a lot of these games but I like the bye week comes at a perfect time. The receivers have got to start getting separation and catching the football. Had 3 drops again today, leading the nfl in that category.
-
Hey, nice win over the Dolphins, a dangerous team.
The offense remains a bit of a mystery this season. I suppose it was nice to see other players not named Kelce involved. Surprise factor. But we needed way more Kelce! I wonder if he was sick or something.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk dble-teamed
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Maybe sad. No GF.

Dan Orlovski is very football intelligent. He routinely makes good points with well thought out points in the radio.
Rich Eisen is just a boring individual, I have no idea who put him in charge of calling games. He lacks emotion, everything is deadpanned. Lousy game day announcer, but ok on sports center.

Rich Eisen is a pompous douche.
-
Chiefs O is just not good enough, cannot sustain drives, too many drops and penalties. Cannot convert 3rd & 1.
Chiefs D is very good.
Having said that Chiefs are still in 1st place with 7-2 so as a fan I should not complain too much.
Hopefully, with a bye they can regroup and come back with greater focus.
As a side note, ripping ball out of Cheeta’s hands for a touchdown was sweet. The play had 3 plays in it. McDuffie is next Chiefs legendary player.
Veatch and scouts have done an incredible job in drafting D players but not so much on O side.
-
So the Chiefs offense is still about Top 10 in all categories or better. That being said, they were overall No. 1 to No. 3 the last few seasons.
But, their yards per game was 413 in 2022, but down to 368 per game this season.
Hard to say if it’s the chicken or the egg that may be causing some issues. Coaching, lack of WRs, or general decline because the league has caught up.
