2024 NFL Season
-
i don’t know how the Chiefs keep winning playing like this, but i’m happy about it!
Like the KU team, something seems off with the Chiefs. I for sure notice that defenses are putting more pressure on Mahomes this season. That’s forcing him to make a quick decision, and he doesn’t seem to be doing a good job of that. OR, his receivers aren’t open and he’s stuck with no good options. Hard to tell if that’s true with TV angles. But he’s making bad decisions again.
Some things now seem obvious:
– Kareem Hunt is the new starting RB. That may be the last we see of the UCLA rookie Steele. The fumble seemed abnormal. I for one don’t like how he holds the football with his dangerous running style, but he’s exciting of course!
– With Rice maybe out for the year (that’s a HUGE hit!), we’re gonna need a WR to step up. Who’s it gonna be? Free agent? Anybody notice JuJu on the field today?
– Cut Skyy Moore immediately. he serves no purpose. Surely a cheap veteran can do better? (I know, i know, cap hit, blah blah blah).
Anyway, a road win is a road win. Always happy about that!! Just seems like it may be tough to skate by like this the rest of the year. Hope i’m wrong.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk JuJu is a good blocker, has been non-existent catching the ball though. Skyy is not an NFL receiver, bummer. Hands of Steele, grip of butter needs not touch the ball again with Hunt running like that! Mahomes is off, but still makes it happen. I hope they start clicking soon on offense.
-
That pass to worthy was worthy of another one! Kelce back in the groove too!
-
OK, why on earth do they have TWO MNF games on at the same time???
Can’t they let us watch em both back to back???
-
@rockchalkjayhawk who?
-
Kareem Hunt looked better than what I had expected. I hope with reps he will get even better.
Sky Moore is turning out to be a huge bust.
I think Chiefs made a mistake by giving him special teams duties, punt returns in his rookie year and drops/fumbles completely shattered his confidence.

@rockchalkjayhawk who?
Tennessee at Miami
and
Seattle at Detroit
-
I feel like i want to make fun of Mahomes for taking out Rice, but it’s like against the law or something.
-
Miami Tennessee setting football back a few decades.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk You could make comments on articles in The Athletic. Seems like nothing is out of bounds there!

@AsadZ said in 2024 NFL Season:
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.
This shows you how much being drafted into a good organization is worth. Darnold, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield all look like good QBs in a good system.
-
I’m a bit disappointed with Chiefs OL play.
On too many occasions they are letting pressure get applied on Mahomes, pocket getting collapsed.
Hope coaches can get this fixed
-
@AsadZ Mahomes had a hard time with the Stunts the line were running well into the game. He seemed to figure it out late and started finding the passing lanes. The OT situation is not great…
-
OK Chiefs, it’s Tuesday…so what the hell is going on with Rashee Rice? They can’t figure out his injury by now? What’s the hold up on the report?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk They are doing more tests and don’t expect answers until next week. I suspect the Hollywood Brown injury needing unexpected surgery 5 weeks after his injury has made them very cautious about making sure how extensive the injury is before deciding how to proceed (with both treatment and the roster). From what I remember from certain painful events of long ago, they may also be waiting for swelling to go down because it can make it hard to determine the true extent of soft tissue damage.

Ouch on the long ago soft tissues injuries.
Next week? Good gravy! That doesn’t make me less impatient
I’m hoping for the best.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk If Reid says it’s week to week, settle in. He will be out all year. lol. Week to week is the kiss of death
-
Yea, still a bunch of cryptic stuff out there about Rashee. Maybe he’ll go to Germany for treatment just like Christian McCaffrey did!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I’ve known some people go to Germany for neck surgery. They can use replacement discs that are much more advanced than the ones used here. Ironically the discs are manufactured in the US. Beats fusion by a long shot. Not sure what McCaffrey is having done though.

Ha that’s crazy! I think you can simply get treatment in Europe that’s not legal yet in the good ole US of A?
McCaffrey was getting some work done on his Achilles issues. Assuming some sort of injections he can’t get here. Who knows.
-
Caleb Williams is getting better week by week
He made a few excellent throws today
Texans looked dangerous, many weapons on Offense
-
They apparently lost their top WR today @AsadZ
-
For the record, those Houston uniforms today are in the running for worst all time!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I saw dat, injuries are tough
-
A clear recovery timetable for Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is still not in place. After further testing on his injured knee Monday, though, the worst-case scenario has been avoided.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Rice will need an LCL repair, but he adds that may be the only ligament requiring such a procedure. Rice’s Week 4 injury was initially feared to be an ACL tear, but it appears that is not the case. While Rapoport notably indicates the second-year wideout is expected to miss the remainder of the season, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rice’s recovery timeline will be much shorter than originally expected.
-
Nice to see Mahomes playing well tonight, the pick may have had a bit too much on it but it hit his receiver in the hands
-
@rockchalkjayhawk hopefully just 3 months. If so he’ll be at full strength early (all?) next season. Yay!
The pass catchers played well against the Saints, but I’d still be in favor of adding a WR if they can get someone that can help on an expiring contract like Cooper (Browns). Or poach a practice squad guy like Metchie (Texans)

I’m a bit disappointed that he’s likely out for the year. Speculation late last week was that he would be back. Sucks. So yea, add a WR! And a JuJu sighting! nice.
Aikman was high on Xavier, saying he may be a stud be season’s end.

Good night!

HOW BOUT THOSE CHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFS
-
Reid deserves tremendous credit for instituting next man up mentality and players buying into it.
-
It appears that Saleh has been fired after 2-3 start.
Aaron Rogers experiment has not worked out so far.
Let’s see how they do from here on out.
-
Was it Saleh who threw those picks the other day?
-
Sounds like we’ll get a Rashee update today. He’s under the knife. Confusing as heck, but they will get a bird’s eye view of the damage.
And also, why again is Skyy Moore still on the team? Dropped yet another ball on a kickoff.
-
and here we go, official word:
OCTOBER 8: Rice’s Tuesday procedure was a success, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. He will indeed miss the remainder of the campaign after the surgery repaired his LCL in addition to his hamstring. As hoped, though, no such repairs were needed on Rice’s ACL or meniscus and a full recovery is expected. Rice remains attached to his rookie contract through 2026.
-
Chiefs have left so many points off in the red zone,
With strong D, imagine if Offense starts to capitalize, they can become unstoppable.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Saleh demoted Hackett to give the play-calling duties to another guy, and then got fired. Escorted out by security. Woody talked with Aaron Rodgers before the firing but says AR had no input.
I believe that denial as much as I believe that I’m the Easter Bunny.

Brock Purdy & the Niners are 1.5 pt favorites over the Chiefs Sunday. That doesn’t seem right to me. The Niners are 3-3 with losses to the Rams and Cardinals. I fully expect the Chiefs to dominate this. Of course when I expect a win-well you know…

The Niners are slightly off their game so far this season. But like the Chiefs they’ve had a ton of significant injuries to deal with. They may be without yet another starting RB (CMC now Mason) this week. Btw, if Mason was on KC, you’d love him. Kinda like Pacheco.
But their base model is still exceptional, and they’re at home, so the 1.5 point spread isn’t a total surprise. They have a ton of offensive weapons. I don’t expect either team to dominate.
Should be a close game IMO.
-
I read today that Dominick Puni was really doing well for the forty-niners. - -Getting a lot of Praise from their Head Coach and players.-- Said he was on track for pro bowl-,- --talking about how he can play ALL five positions in O-Line - -he hasn’t given up a QB sack through six games or a touch - -other players are really impressed by him Proud of our boy- - -ROCK CJALK great job Dominick
-
4 long years of Brock Purdy standing in the pocket and pummeling the Jayhawks. And now, we have to endure Mr. Irrelevant as the Niners QB, who are still 1.5 pt favorites over the 5-0 Chiefs. l’m sure hoping Mahomes has a great day and the KC defense rips Purdy apart.
-
Purdy is playing at a very high level.
This year he is keeping drives alive by running and making 1st downs.
Chiefs D have their work cut out for them.
-
Niners are now 2 pt favs. The 5-0 Chiefs are underdogs to the 3-3 Niners. Please don’t tell me this would be a good loss for the Chiefs. I hope Chris Jones and company break Purdy into many small pieces.

Yea, I think this game mostly comes down to how well the Chiefs D plays. The two defenses are comparable, but the 49ers aren’t as strong as they’ve been in past seasons.
I sadly think that Bosa goes ape shit on the edges. If that results in a turnover or two, that could be the difference.
Otherwise, the 49ers offense has the edge. Third Down And Jajuan (Jennings) is out, so that helps. They’re on their third kicker, too.
Living in the Bay Area, I can tell you that the 49ers and their fans are fired up.
Go Chiefs!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk one has to keep in mind revenge factor helping Niners, they most likely circled this game when schedule came out.
-
The Jets are such a shit show, pretty much have Green Bay’s offense from a few years and the defense isn’t living up the hype either.
-
JuJu out against Raiders.
Jaylen Watson done for the season.
Injuries are taking a toll.
-
Dang.
-
And wide receivers are going down all over.
-
Trade for Kupp?
