Chiefs season long game thread

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.
-
@AsadZ Pacheco, Humphrey, Smith, Rice, to name a few …not so bad in my estimation. (Yes, Rice has some drops. Mahomes has some fumbles and interceptions. Why expect a rookie to be error-free?)
-
So what’s the deal with Toney? Why can’t we game plan to get him more touches? He seems to make things happen after he catches/receives the ball. Just like Rice.
-
@mayjay O line has been good except for Smith who was not drafted by Veatch.
My comment has more to do with WRs. Drops are across the board, not just Rice. Pacheo has been solid and need more touches.
-
Play calling! Run on 1st and 2nd and 3rd we go really long when we need 4-7
-
Fire Nagy, get a real OC. The loss of Bienemy and WR coach (Embery?)is apparently bigger than many thought it could be. Juju being replaced by Rice shouldn’t cause this big of a drop off.
Also Veach kinda sucks so far at identifying Offensive skill players. Maybe if he threw more resources at it the results would be better? Almost all his draft picks have been on the defensive side.
-

I was talking about Trey Smith, drafted by Veatch. Seems pretty good to me. Are you thinking about Donovan Smith, acquired in free agency, who has not been great?
-
@mayjay Oh yes
I’m referring to Smith who was signed as a free agent.
-
The Chiefs game felt like the KU game over the weekend: stupidity and turnovers.
-
The chiefs have a major issue with catching the ball, continuing to lead the league in that category. They said on the radio this morning that drop number is the highest in over 10 years for the first 11 weeks of season. Fans have seen saying all year, Reid said they were fine at the position before the trade deadline and it couldn’t be a more a BS comment.
-
They cannot score in the 2nd half, 3 games in a row with 0 points in 2nd half.
Is Reid being outcoached?
-
If Kelce shuts his mouth and doesn’t fumble the Chiefs win. If Mahomes doesn’t throw a red zone interception, they win. If MVS could catch a ball, any ball, they win. Doesn’t seem like a coaching issue, but if it is the difference from the best offense in football last year and the product this year is Nagy and JuJu. In the offseason fire Nagy, cut MVS - pickup a decent veteran wide receiver to steady the group and draft a couple young guys. Problem is the 1st round pick likely needs used on a new tackle as they both suck. (Oh and Andy won’t fire Nagy, he kept Sutton around for years)
-
Dros and penalties have been a major issue all season long.
Teams are double/triple teaming Kelce and Chiefs WRs still cannot get open, and when they do get open, they drop the ball.
MVS has been a major disappointment, I have watched the open TD play now several times and still SMH.

Yup, well said. I was pleased they gave Pacheco some touches. That was a positive. Beast. Honestly, cut ALL the receivers except Rice. Then just give him end arounds and shorts slants, let him YAC it up.
Play calling has been suspect at times this year. Last night seemed OK.
The Kelce fumble was surprising. But before the game started, looking at the rain, I thought the game could easily come down to a slippery fumble or weird play or two.
I truly think Mahomes has been off his game. Inaccurate a lot. He’s tossed multiple picks when he lazily lofts it over defenders.
-
Teams have adapted to how the Chiefs play & they have adjusted. - -What have the Chiefs done ? - -Nothing , like they were saying on first take - -why in the hell did the Chiefs not go out and get a receiver during free agency ? -Team are taking Kelce out of the game - -doubling him , even tripling him and daring the chiefs to bet them with what they have left.
They said like KC has not scored a point in the 2nd half , been outscored like 38-0 in the 2nd half in the last 3 games . -Maholmes starting to press a little/frustration sitting in - - - — - -5 dropped passes last night the Chiefs have now dropped 26 passes for the season which is the most since the 2017 -49ers – just not going well right now.
They are getting blasted on the TV , saying the organization is to blame for doing nothing – not good right now
