@Crimsonorblue22 said in Chiefs season long game thread:
Hardman catch? Wow! So if Chris Jones wouldn’t have held out, would he have made this million he’s working so hard to get? Did I make sense?
No. That was negotiated in during his holdout. But he also gave up salary to get it. Probably a wash at best (I don’t know the exact numbers).
-
@dylans I remember thinking with the fines and such it was pretty much a wash
-
That’s what I meant.
-
You gotta be f—-ing kidding me!
The Chiefs game is EXCLUSIVE to Peacock streaming on Saturday.
That is horseshit with a capital horse!
I’m steamed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 from what I understand, it was Kelce’s decision not to play.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk might as well get used to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if “they” figure a way to charge us to listen on the radio before long.

I’m with you 100 % , & KC is not my # 1 team but still like them and am pulling for them and wanted to watch them play. - -Just total BS. How do you put the team that has pretty much been dominating the playoffs in recent years on fricken Peacock ? - -Just insane , my Dad bless his heart would be rollling over in his grave-- NEVE thought I’d have to pay to watch hings - -anything on the TV - -Holy crap
-
So you sign up for $5.99 and cancel next week. Not a fatal issue.
-
IMHO, It’s bigger BS than simply signing up and cancelling.
I’m a Comcast/Xfinity customer who is entitled to have complimentary access to Peacock. But because I only use Xfinity for internet (I use YouTube.TV as my streaming and I don’t use the Xfinity cable offer), I don’t get access to Peacock – unless I let them install a cable box on my network (presumably so they can mine all my viewing data). It’s ‘free’, they say. Yeah right.
-
@bskeet I signed up through my Roku. If you don’t use cable, Roku is a nice app for all our streaming services. (You can load lots of streaming services onto the Roku homepage. Some smart TVs, like Samsung a few years ago, don’t have a full selection–but those may be different now. Our LG does.)
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Chris gave up 3.6million in fines and lost salary and gained 3million in new money. - lost 600k to skip training camp, I bet he’d gladly pay 600k to skip training camp lol
-
@dylans I still think he got bad advice from his agent, gained nothing by holding out.
-
@kjayhawks I agree. He also is very unlikely to be a Chief next year because of that advice.
-
@dylans yep I think this maybe the last hurrah for the chiefs “dynasty” if you want to call it that. 8 straight division titles, 5 afc championship games, 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 rings. Jones is gone, Sneed is likely gone, Gay, Nnadi and Allegretti are all in contract years as well several others. Just don’t see them keeping most of these guys with the cap space they have. I think they stand a chance because the defense has been one of the best since DT was roaming the field in KC. Offense will be fine if they keep down penalties and turnovers.

I’m not seeing the end of the Chiefs dynasty. If those guys leave, there should be cap space to sign replacements, right?
Sneed leaving is the biggest scare for me. He would be hard to replace.
IF the Chiefs flame out in the playoffs, the GM surely will go after some offensive game changers.
-
Running it back doesn’t seem to work anyway. You need roster churn. I really hope they can hold on to Sneed. Chris Jones is fantastic, but the cap space is too limited to give him 30 mil a year. Don’t want to end up in cap hell like the chargers.
-
@kjayhawks Chiefs still have great talent. Their issues have been with drops and TOs, stupid stuff which can be fixed.
D has significant young talent.
I am optimistic.
-
@AsadZ @dylans @rockchalkjayhawk I thinking they will still be a playoff team but not dominating as they have been.
-
@AsadZ mahomes won’t settle.
-
@kjayhawks I think as long as Mahomes is QB and Veatch can surround him with skilled players, Chiefs should be able to compete for SB.
I see this year as an exception, and I am confident that Chiefs brass will learn from it.
-
@AsadZ God I hope so. It’s a bad philosophy to neglect your strengths.
-
I was just thinking how spoiled we as fans have become, recall Chiefs misery of 90s and 2000s.
Chiefs won AFC West again and are #3 seed while hosting a playoff game at home.
-
@AsadZ When you have Mahomes the expectations are different. Don’t waste the window like the Packers did with Rodgers!
-
Looks like McKinnon is done for the year. That sucks.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk This was expected. I hope we get Pacheo completely healthy for playoff run.
-
So is KC doing at least a local over the air telecast so KC fans can watch without the peacock? I hope this thing backfires so badly on the NFL that it and other sports never consider putting games on a streaming device.
-
@wissox As “they” continue to take our ability to watch sporting events for free from us, I am proportionally disinterested in watching.
Thanks, “they” for stealing our joy.
-
@wissox Yes, available on regular channels in KC and Miami.
-
@wissox The NFL has already made 110 million dollars on the game. They don’t care if anyone tunes in. Peacock is the only one that stands to lose (as they paid that 110 million bucks for one game!)
-
Big gamble by Peacock, let’s see how this turns out for them
-
@AsadZ I somehow didn’t notice, but they said no commercials for the 4th quarter. That’s cool.
-
The only way Mahomes’ helmet gets shattered is from helmet to helmet contact. Again, no call by the refs. The refs missed a lot of calls in the Miami game.
-
How about Rashee.
I think Veatch has finally broken his draft bust record on WRs with Rashee.
-
@AsadZ Rice is the only WR I’d keep on this roster maybe Watson. The rest see ya later
-
That sure was an interesting season! Glad we have a place to talk Chiefs. Fantastic ending!!
So the off-season could be very interesting. Veach and Co. have decisions to make.
We very well could lose some big names. Sneed is at the top of the keeper list for me. CBs like that aren’t a dime a dozen.
And the offensive line! Wow. Could be two or more changes there.
I don’t pay too much attention to cap space, but the Chiefs have about $30M to play with. Almost league average.
Chris Jones is gonna get big money here or elsewhere.
We’ll have one or two new running backs next year to back up Pacheco.
Lots of stuff to talk about in the off-season.
-
Doesn’t get any sweeter!
-
Shots fired at parade!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 People suck.
-
10 people were shot at the parade - -5 hospitalized , what the hell is wrong with people. -2 people were being detained
-
1 person got killed, so tragic.
-
just got update and yes one person has died and now saying at least 15 others injured
-
@jayballer67 Something has to happen in this country - but unfortunately nothing ever will.

Agree a lot of sick, sick people anymore

Repeal the 2nd Amendment. Or I don’t know, can you keep it but rewrite it?

This is so upsetting. I have a LOT of family and friends in Kansas City. Including my son. Thank God he’s not a sports fan and would never attend something like this.
I am incensed that our jellyfish government allows this bullshit to go on. There’s a mass shooting in this country weekly it seems.
This crap doesn’t happen in other countries. At least not on the scale that happens here. I wouldn’t give a shit if they melted down every automatic weapon on the planet. They can start tomorrow.
-
Video of regular folk tackling a shooter (supposedly).

That would not fix the issue. If it was full automatic assault rifles and they intended to kill there would be considerably more dead. If I wanted to kill as many folks as possible to sew mayhem I would not use a gun, I’d use a spray drone with a chemical agent and wipe out tens of thousands at these events. For less than 100k you could easily wipe out a stadium of people. The issue isn’t the inert chunk of metal, it is the people - the bad actors. People killed and hurt other people for their own selfish reasons and until people start thinking and caring about others this will continue to happen. A million people there to have a good time and all it took was a few to ruin it for everyone.
As for this not happening in other countries. Wow what a wild misconception brought on by distance bias. The US averages 6 murders/100k people. Too much, but Jamaica averages over 50/100k. The places with the lowest reported rates are places with few of the freedoms we enjoy such as China or another reason for low murder rates like in Oceana is due to greatly underreporting murders for perception reasons.
Hyperbole spewed by our media and leadership in these moment is self serving and does nothing to address the issue of a complete lack of moral fiber in the people committing these crimes.
The KCPD and the locals that helped detain the shooters are amazing. There will always be bad people, but it’s great to know there are equally good people out there willing to risk their lives to protect others.

@dylans Murders are not mass shootings. We are far and away the “leader” in this category.

Proving the point that people will get it done one way or another. I mean people turned paraglides into assault weapons. Ban all rocks to prevent stoning. Bad people are the problem not objects. More folks have been killed by rhetoric than anything else, ban speech.
It is a problem, but the root cause is still the same. People.
