Dang butt kicker!
Something is wrong with him, wonder when it will come out.
Butker changed his kicking motion. Butker no longer goes down on one knee when he kicks. Hopefully this change doesn’t ruin him. If the misses get in his head, he’s done for.
-
@Jhawk69 I still think if we can get thru the first 6 weeks without Rice and only having Worthy for 3 games at a 3-3 or 4-2. We will be in good shape going forward for the divisional match up.
-
I guess it was knee not ankle. Did he have a minor surgery on it or did he just rest it for awhile, last yr? Can’t remember. Thinking rest.
-
Meniscus surgery. https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-kicker-harrison-butker-left-knee-miss-3-4-weeks-undergo-surgery
-
Oh crap. I thought that was a fresh story! Whew.
-
Harrison has definitely been a low spot thus far but I think he’ll have it turned around. I think his mechanics are a little off. If the chiefs need a big kick for the win, I trust him.
-
Kicking is so mental. You have to know the mechanics of course, but other than that it is 100% mental. Harrison doesn’t have whatever mojo he needs but once he gets a good kicking game or two in he’ll turn it around
-
@Jhawk69 Kicking sounds like golf. When I first started golfing in my mid 20’s I was actually very good. Because of that, i was obsessed with golf. I literally played every day for 3 years. About year two, I started listening to people I golfed with. “Hold your hands this way. Put your right foot in and shake it all about” Instead of doing what I’d been doing, I let their words of “advice” get in my head and I was done. I literally threw a few clubs in the pond and haven’t golfed since 1987.

Ah, the wonderful game of golf! So, he asks sweetly
, would it be fair to infer you were angry, or were you perhaps trying to wash them?
-
@mayjay Yes, I was washing them. Lol
-
After looking at more video of Butker, I’d say his misses are likely attributable to his new mechanics. On the 59 yard, no time to think about it, fire drill FG Butker went down on one knee like he used to and nailed that kick. He just needs to get things smoothed out while staying upright. This needs to be fixed in the regular season and I think it can be.
-
I’m really not sweating Butker too much. He does miss a bunny or two each year, and an extra point. otherwise all but one of his misses have been from 50+. The other 40+.
-
Man this is fun to watch when they protect Mahomes
-
Not a fan of joe buck or Troy aikman! Chiefs looking good! Clearly the
didn’t break the plane!
-
Backs r looking good
-
This team definitely has some swagger back and I haven’t seen them having fun like this since early 2023
-
Is this the Hunter from Co?
-
I could’ve had that
-
Not so fun now
-
If anyone is still wondering why I’m not a big Mahomes cheerleader…
-
@nuleafjhawk The reigning AFC player of the week? The guy who’s going to author another 4th quarter comeback? Oh ye of little faith.
-
@dylans lol. The Chiefs have won the last game they ever will win. Done. Finished. Washed up.
-
@nuleafjhawk Spoken like a KU football fan. It’s cool. I get it.
-
@nuleafjhawk only difference between Mahomes and Lawrence this game is the chiefs drop his pick and had 3 guys get their hands on it.
-
Now we go
-
Come on @nuleafjhawk lawrence just threw A pick after a fumble inside the one he must be the worst QB in NFL. No other QB has any picks this year
-
How many does Patrick have
-
It’s 1 this yr
-
@dylans except KU is 4-2 and KC will be 2-3 in about 20 minutes
-
@nuleafjhawk one team wins games of consequence. The other needs to enjoy regular season wins. Enjoy the loss, it looks like you’re correct. Yay!
-
Ok. I’m ready to fire Butker. His misfires are in one way or another responsible for all the Chiefs L’s
-
43 cost us
-
Hits him in the helmet
-
Hmm.
Recipe for losing:
Your QB is your leading rusher (again)
Can’t block. Can’t tackle. Can’t throw on target. Can’t catch. (offense and defense)
Have 100 penalties per game.
-
@nuleafjhawk don’t watch
-
@Crimsonorblue22 don’t worry about it
-
Penalties were a prob but man I don’t like several of the calls on those special team holding. Defense couldn’t stop them in the second half when they needed too. Still think going 3-3 in the 6 is fine with the injuries and Rice out.
-
@nuleafjhawk Mahomes completed 70% of his passes. He didn’t have the penalties
-
Bummer. On to the next game.
-
@kjayhawks They lost. I never blamed it solely on Mahomes. It was a complete team “effort”
-
@nuleafjhawk they could definitely share some of the blame but special teams defense were more of an issue tonight imo I believe the offense had two penalties. Odd that the Jags were the most penalized team in the NFL today was their best performance in that department. I’ve thought pro sports were rigged for decades and nights like tonight I think prove it several phantom calls on one team and refusal to call penalties on another.
-
@kjayhawks I agree. No one will ever convince me that officiating is ever fair and impartial. As a fan it sounds whiney to blame a game on the refs, but I think the zebras have an incredible amount of influence on the outcome of games.
Also, for whomever is reading, I have been a lifelong Chiefs fan and I get a little out of sorts when they play terrible and stupid. So - sorry.
-
@nuleafjhawk I’ve been a chiefs fan forever as well so I don’t get too worked up. We have 3 Super Bowl titles in 5 years. If the run ends, it ends. But too many retired officials have came forward saying games are rigged for the spread. If anyone was as bad at those jobs as half the officials, they’d be fired.
-
Grr. Stupid Chiefs.
Hardy anything worse than losing to the Jaguars.
A massive self implosion tonight.
I was all good with Butker before the game, but that kick off out of bounds was a just a killer. I can’t even fathom how he’d be even close to the sideline in that game situation. maddening.
Mahomes got away with more than a few risky passes tonight. That pick was amateur hour though.
Hats off to Trevor Lawrence. If the Chiefs refused to attempt to contain him, why not take advantage? And he did. Boo defense!
I thought Pacheco had some good, violent running tonight. That’s a good sign.
And a tiny bit of life from Kelce! Maybe Taylor was out of town this week …
Finally, for those of you insistent that the NFL refs are rigging games … c’mon, man.
-
Self implosion
So many mistakes
-
@rockchalkjayhawk my problem is everyone knows you can call holding on every play if you look close enough. When you have a bunch on one side, several of which looked pretty iffy and then 1 on the other team it makes a guy wonder.
-
Very bad effort on defense. This Jaguars offense has not been great this year, and they walked all over us for three quarters
