2024 NFL Season
-
@AsadZ But, the previous play where the Chiefs passed for the first down, then had a penalty for hands to the face was “lucky” for the Bengals. I don’t like when penalties make a difference in the game either, but it was clearly pass interference so it’s worse if KC loses on a non-call.
-
Fun game to watch but hopefully the OT play can improve
-
@BShark the rookie KS was terrible, but he got very little help. I’m not sure why Andy didn’t have someone chip for him when it was obvious he was in over his head. Also Thuney was no help on a few of those rushes and he’s normally solid. The left side of the line was a mess.
-
@stoptheflop If the refs had swallowed their whistles - which is what the bengals fans want on that one play, but forget about the play immediately prior- the Chiefs would have had a long completion on 4th down instead of a long pass interference call on the next play. It really changes nothing other than Mahomes crappy statistical output would have been slightly better.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 NFL Season:
Caleb can ball. Especially impressive given WR2 is out and WR3 is on one leg
? Did he look good, stats are terrible. I thought he had flashes in the pre-season. I’m banking on him being good to great at some point for purely selfish reasons. lol bought a couple of his rookie cards - I treat it like stock for athletes. Like some ipo’s though out the gate is as high as it gets (The Panthers Young comes to mind).
-
@dylans KS looks a little like O Brown did. He doesn’t slide to the outside fast enough. Thuney was trying to help but KS didn’t give enough space.
Definitely should have kept a TE to help on the left (were those weird formations supposed to help?). Could have done a screen pass after steering the DE back into KS.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Jury is out. It’s kind of malpractice of Poles to get this QB and not provide an offensive line for him. He’s gonna get killed back there.
-
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
