2024 NFL Season
-
I seem to remember last year before the draft Williams compared himself to Pat Mahomes. I remember thinking at the time tht I hoped he wouldn’t start right off the bat and instead, like PM, would get a year of watching and learning.
It gets a lot of play but I still think Reid and Veach don’t get enough credit for keeping Alex Smith as PM’s mentor. Bears needed a vet to do that. (They could have even signed our backup, Carson Wentz, a hugely experienced guy who could have given them adequate play.)
-
Pacheco has a fractured fibula, will likely go to IR. We have Steele and Perine right now. Here are available free agents (Chiefs could pick someone from another team’s practice squad, but there are some restrictions on that, I think). I’d sign Cook or McKinnon.
Best Running Back Free Agents, 2024:
Dalvin Cook
Latavius Murray
Kareem Hunt
Jerick McKinnon
Melvin Gordon
Alex Armah
Eno Benjamin
Salvon Ahmed
Giovanni Ricci
Josh Kelley
DeWayne McBride
Matt Breida
James Robinson Royce Freeman Isaiah Spiller
-
Pacheco! Damn!
-
@dylans yeah he had some terrific throws against a good defense. He largely stayed within himself, didn’t play too much hero ball until the 4th when we had to be one dimensional. The run game was non-existent and also DJ was really our only effective receiver
-
@mayjay For the most part Chiefs avoided injuries last year, but they are piling up this year, WR1 and RB1 are down.
If he passes physical, I’d consider McKinnon since he knows playbook and can transition quickly.
-
So let’s talk about the engine that’s missing a piston…
Travis Kelce is invisible this year. Four catches for 39 yards in the first two games.
What gives? Taylor wear him out, or is he just getting old and in the way? Saving him for later in the season?
Odd for sure.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I think all of the above.
-
Pacheco out 6 to 8 wks, acc to ESPN. KC looking at K Hunt.
$6 mil in cap space, BTW.
-
Surprised Hunt would want to come back to KC.

He was double teamed most of the game and Mahomes didn’t force it to Kelce other than that one INT. It’s nice having some receiving options!
Of note - it was Kelce’s first game with less than 3 receptions since 2018!
-
Per Steven A people saw more Taylor than Kelce…
-
I believe Kelse is getting fewer targets as a way of making sure he’s available for big games and the playoffs. It’s a long, long season. At 34, 3-4 targets the first 10-12 games seems about right. Or, maybe trainer Mickey was right when he told Rocky “women weaken legs.”
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Hunt knows KC is a well oiled machine at this point I’m sure he was calling as soon as the news broke. He was let go because he was dishonest with coach Reid about what happened.
-
Man Monday night meltdown by Eagles
last night
-
Make sure the ladies in your life stay safe, KC area folks
-
@FarmerJayhawk Huh?
-
@nuleafjhawk Kareem Hunt is back with the Chiefs
-
@FarmerJayhawk Oh - gotcha.
-
@FarmerJayhawk You don’t want to get me going on that subject. I think the fans should protest the players treatment of women and their families most the time. Like I say you will get away with plenty in this country if you have the cash or are a sports star.
-
Jets looked good yesterday, good for NY fans
-
Watched the Jets last night. I for one am a little surprised that QB Rodgers has looked good so far.
-
-
The standings for the league are so symetrical:
9 teams 2-0
1 team 2-1
12 teams 1-1
1 team 1-2
9 teams 0-2
Top 16 are exactly the opposite of bottom 16.
I would bet this is the last time the records are mirrored like that.
-
Well I got to feel a little teensy bit encouraged with the Pack playing without Jordon. We have won both our games, were 2-1, now I realize our opponents haven’t been world beaters but hey, every game w win without our starting QB is a bonus.
Beat the Titans today 30-14 ans sacked their QB - - -EIGHT TIMES- —EIGHT. – Tennessee had the # 1 defense coming into today and w put up right at 400 yards of offense so I’ll take that for sure.- -Much tougher next week we got Minnesota at home , but talk is Jordon will probably be back- - can’t asak for much more out of our back up QB
-
Yeah good win for Packers
-
Mahomes just looks a little off so far this season
-
@kjayhawks I think he suits up in #6 for Kansas on Saturday
-
@nuleafjhawk he ain’t that bad, doesn’t have 9 turnovers in 3.5 games. He’s a lot like Brett Favre to me, he’ll throw some picks but also some pretty crazy TDs. At one point before Favre retired he had the record for the most TD passes and INTs. If JD had a 65% completion percentage and 1 to 1 TD to INT ratio we’d be undefeated.
-
I’m not sure Collingsworth has watched a Chiefs game all year. He’s talking about the O line and how Mahomes has no worries about rushers coming on the edges.
-
@kjayhawks c’mon man. You know I have to make some stupid remark!
But, yeah - Mahomes does seem a little off so far.
-
Both roughing the passer calls were a J-O-K-E difference is it kept a Falcons drive going
-
That did not look like a touchdown. No review?
-
Sneed is being missed
They are giving many big plays
-
Huge chunk plays. That’s bad.
-
Jeez. Mahomes not on his game with accuracy today.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk he really hasn’t looked great all season thus far, neither has Kelce. Guess as long as they keep winning, should start to play better. As I’ve said you don’t what to be playing your best ball in September especially in the nfl.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk you’d think someone who’s won consecutive Super Bowls would be a little more accurate
-
Better than last yr at this time.
-
Nick Bolton showed up tonight good to see
-
uh oh…
-
Thx Nick Bolton! Chiefs are winning close ones.
-
Wow. what a weird ass game!
Glad the Chiefs held on.
-
Of course they’re gonna blame the refs with that non call in the end zone like Atlanta didn’t get a ton calls tonight. The last 3 penalties on the chiefs were super weak or flat out wrong. Hope Rice is okay, Mahomes may have tweak his knee on a weird slide there as well
-
They are missing Hollywood, no other receiver has separated except Rice. They need someone to step up.
Mahomes needs to play better, sometimes he gets into a habit of become too cute.
He needs to be patient and go for long drives as Defenses are not giving big plays with 2 deep all the time.
-
@AsadZ In my humble fan opinion, he’s thinking too much. We all know what happens when football players think. A couple of years ago he looked like he was playing more instinctually. I think he needs to go out there and let the big dog eat. Ooops. Wrong sport.
-
Some high notes from the Chiefs win…
Kelce matched his season total with four catches and 30+ yards.
Rice was awesome.
I wanted to say Butker, then remembered he missed an extra point!
Steele has some Pacheco in him. Hard nosed yards.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk don’t forget Bolton. He’s an anchor on defense. Even for an ex Tiger.
-
How about Vikings offense and Darnold.
I cannot believe he is same high pick QB that bounced around for a few years and is finally playing in a system that suits his skills.
-
Bills are on fire
Jags D can’t stop Allen
