@rockchalkjayhawk he’s got cataracts. Well, dollar signs in his eyes. Can’t see anything but money.

Like I just told my son, the run is going to end at some point. Kelce/Jones are old and just not the players they once were. The O-line is average on the best day and the defense is much of the same.
I think the Eagles are just a better team. So, not predicting the end just yet. Other than the drop, no complaints about Kelce today. If he doesn’t drop it, we’re in the lead.
-
They need a spark
-
Worthy and rice
-
Some other dudes got hurt today as well, right? WR room is a mess.
-
-
Late hit?
-
The tush push works great with a head start everytime
-
@rockchalkjayhawk oh I ain’t throwing in the towel at week 2. Just have a very long ways to go if they want to win the division
-
I also don’t think the eagles are a much better team, they have played mistake free today for the most part. The pick should’ve been a touchdown and Butker missed a FG.
-
Their D is very good
-
Came up with a good game plan

I know you hate Mahomes but I have zero idea how anyone with any type of football knowledge could pin the losses on him.

I watched the cowboys game and it’s crazy to watch other WRs get separation and catch the football. The chiefs had 4 drops today. I believe the giants and cowboys had 2 combined. The chiefs have lead the NFL in drops 2 of the last 3 years right in pace to start the season. We need to draft lineman and WRs
-
Like Brady was saying and I’ve heard from many others ----KC has NO vertical deep threat and no I’m not counting KC’s last score as a deep threat.
With their personell they have to nickel and dime their way down a long field and that is not going to take to much time of the clock. It doesn’t help when officals give a good screwin twice in a row - - - – That dam push tush needs to be stopped.- —a lot of talk about Hill possibly coming back via trade — KC better hope so
-
@SlimShaddy54 the chiefs have zero threat at WR without Worthy and Rice. The truth be told even with them healthy that ain’t a top 15 receiver room in the NFL. I’d take Miami, Dallas, Philly, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Denver, LA both clubs, Green Bay’s receiver room over KCs all day every day. The problem is it’s been the same problem for the last few seasons and it hasn’t ever been really addressed. Smith fighting and making that catch on 3rd and 10 was a huge play and one that I haven’t seen a KC receiver make since Hill was on the team. That ball should’ve been picked
-
@kjayhawks Besides the fact that he can’t hit an open target anymore? He throws most passes in the dirt (astrodirt) or 5 feet over their heads. The few passes that are on target get dropped.
-
@nuleafjhawk that tends to happen when you are running for your life everytime you drop back. Imagine this team with Tom Brady, dude would get sacked 8-10 times a game.

Hollywood was supposed to be our quick guy. our deep threat. what happened to that? Is he just having to play out of position with all our injuries?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I don’t know that I’ve seen anything from Hollywood in his career that makes me think of a deep guy. He can be useful in the slot and underneath with the guys around him. He has had trouble staying healthy and hasn’t ever been a number 1 guy IMO. If not mistaken he’s in his 7th year and only played 2 complete seasons. One of those years he barely got over a 1k yards with 1,008. Just not a go to guy to me.
-
I honestly wonder if Matt Nagy isn’t a good chunk of the issue. Hard to tell for sure because everyone claims Reid calls the plays but ever since he came back to town, the offense hasn’t looked the same.
-
Hollywood had some really nice catches in some tight spots today

Yea, i’m pretty sure that was the intent when signing him. For the deep ball. Apparently Lamar wasn’t very accurate with the deep toss, so maybe that’s why he never seemed a huge threat with his speed and supposed ability to separate. Nor was Kyler Murray.
Anyways, i think with all the weird injuries on the Chiefs and his other teams, he’s never really fulfilled that spot very well.
I hope when the Chiefs have a full compliment of WRs he can step into that role sometimes.
-
To me it starts with getting the run game going. You are down several receivers and Mahomes pretty much has to be absolutely prefect just to give the team a chance. To me watching the eagles play it’s just polar opposites. Eagles have one of the best lines and RBs in the league. Hurts doesn’t have to do anything special, mahomes has to everytime he puts on his helmet.
-
Chiefs can’t run the ball
We have seen it in the first two games
Mahomes is your leading rusher by far margin
Our RBs are just not good enough
-
@AsadZ could it be our line is a problem?
-
Our team is not perfect but they will be fine. They just outplayed the defending champs without WR1 and WR2.

In his first two years, 2019-20, HBrown had long receptions for TDs several times and averaged over 12.5 and 13.3 yds respectively. However, since then he has not averaged over 11.3 or had a reception over 49 yds. The Chiefs had Rice to stretch the field anticipating having a speedy Worthy, and added Brown mostly for midrange possession receptions. That plan fell apart with his injury and Rice’s injury, forcing Worthy into Rice’s role. The long passes last year were few and far between because of the OL breakdowns that also led to PM sometimes breaking the pocket early. No one had the deep role until Worthy late in the season, and he showed major chops in the SB 2nd half (set a rookie record for yds in a SB by more than 60). HBrown was of minimal use last year after coming back.

@kjayhawks I don’t hate Mahomes, btw. What I do hate is this:
Patrick Mahomes owns minority stakes in several professional sports teams, including the Kansas City Royals (MLB), Sporting Kansas City (MLS), the Kansas City Current (NWSL), and the Alpine Formula 1 team. He also co-owns a Whataburger franchise in Kansas City and founded his own foundation, the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. Additionally, he has investments in sports recovery companies and a stake in Throne Coffee.
He’s way too busy and distracted to give a crap about the job that enables him to do all these other things. Factor in that TS is a global distraction for everyone and - IN MY NON HATING opinion - they’ve been to their last Super Bowl.
