2025 Chiefs
-
What a flop
-
-
Chiefs did not play to their standard today
-
Both the offensive and defensive lines stayed in KC
-
Chris Jones sighting today?
-
And iāll just bring up the same issue iāve had since before Week 1ā¦what the heck is up with RB Elijah Mitchell???
Not that it mattered much, but we call up CEH before him? This is puzzling.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Chris Jones needs to be on the trade block at this point. He is one of the highest paid players at his position and has been garbage for 2.5 years. I also have zero idea why CEH is back. He was never better than average. You could make the case him and Sky Moore are the worst draft picks in the last decade for KC. Iām not super worried at this point but the next 2 games are now absolute must wins and they likely canāt lose more than maybe 2 games from here on out if they want to make the playoffs.
-
Iām gonna guess the Chiefs go 6-2 the rest of the way. Wishful thinking, but possible.
The Broncos could go 3-5, which would leave KC a game ahead in the standings.
Havenāt checked out the Chargers sked.
-
Bears and Bengals was a fun game to watch
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Need the oline to get healthy/return from their spiritual journey (or w/e Simmons is doing)
-
@mayjay The food was good, at least
-
I feel like Andy uses the regular season Bills game to set them up later. - same look different play next meeting. Seems to be a good formula for post season success. 5-4 is not ideal though.
-
The question becomes with the trade deadline looming what does KC do? I feel like they either need to upgrade the D line or get a running back. The defensive line has turned into the receiving corps from the last two years. We are filled up with guys that got cut elsewhere and couldnāt make rosters with Charles O, Pennel and company. The difference in the game yesterday was the Bills had time to throw the ball and have a great RB. The chiefs have neither of those two things at the moment.
-
D Line
-
I donāt think the Chiefs will do anything. They probably think that when healthy this roster is good enough to make a Super Bowl run and that there is no reason to short-change our draft capital. I would personally trade for a high-impact D-lineman.
-
@Jhawk69 Jerry Jones is running up the price! A fool and his draft capitalā¦
-
looks like a quiet day for the Chiefs. good and bad. I think they need some reinforcements. Canāt waste generational talent like Mahomes and risk not making the playoffs.
-
For one thing, I understand not hitting the panic button. KC is a good team (probably the best 5-4 team of all time) and its wise not to let the bitter aftertaste of a game we were always going to lose (I mean cāmon, its the Bills in the regular season) sucker us into paying too much in a trade.
On the other hand, I really donāt see our defensive line being able to do anything against any good o-lines, which will hurt us in the playoffs (if we even make it).
-
Looks like a late veteran addition when someone asks out of their contract to play for a contender. The Chiefs cap for next year is fād already so there really is no room for any big additions without subtractions next year. - over the cap about 42 mil. with only 36 players signed or some nonsense. Hope the cap goes up more than expected. Taylor is likely to get cut. Not sure who else. Bank of Mahomes will be tapped into he has a 78mil cap hit - untenable.
-
Supposedly the chiefs contacted the Jets about Hall but was only willing to give a 4th round pick. The jets wanted a third rounder. I wouldāve gave it and the 4th rounder for Max Crosby. I wouldāve done both if those deals, the chiefs have failed at the draft IMO the last few years. Believe Hicks, Simmons and Worthy are the only guys playing from the last 2 drafts.

@kjayhawks Summataya (LG)
-
Broncos are turning to the chiefs of last season. Winning games they have zero business doing so.
-
@kjayhawks I watched that garbage last night and thought the same thing. I thought even the Chiefs could have beaten them last night.
-
I think the Chiefs have a chance to be very good next year if they take reinforcing the trenches seriously in the offseason. This season they will not make the playoffs.
-
This is simply a bad football team.
-
Next year will be worse. The cap situation is disastrous.
-
I donāt think they are a bad team. I think they are average or slightly above average with a very tough schedule, which is not a good recipe for a playoff berth.

42.7 mil over the the ā26 cap with only 36 players signed so every dollar added goes against the cap. Next year will swing heavily depending on the draft. Veach needs another 2022 esq draft or 2026 will be brutal with all the cuts, restructures needed to clear space to retain their own free agents (McDuffie, Watson, Kelce etc), and a lack of impact free agents being affordable. Veach better hit a homerun.
-
Yea brutal sked. Unfortunate injuries and āpersonal mattersā. And not as sharp as past years for sure, But this is by no means a bad football team.
With virtually no threat to succeed in the running game, they can be predictable and pressured.
Denver is good though.
Disappointing.
-
I put this on Veach, had opportunities before the trade deadline and did nothing. This team isnāt great by any stretch of imagination. They are just average, pending on the rest of the year they maybe be able to squeak into the playoffs. But that was nail in the coffin for the division. 9 years in a row is tough to do, just like KUs 14 straight. It was great but canāt last forever
-
Overpaying Taylor, Chris Jones, and Harrison Butker didnāt help either
-
@Jhawk69 play calling was laughable, no idea why they didnāt try to run the ball more especially up with 4 minutes to go.
-
@kjayhawks Yeah, plus multiple chances to get a stop on 3rd down and no pressure being dialed up, which allowed Nix to stand calmly in the pocket and wait for an inevitable first down throw to open up.
-
@Jhawk69 yep like KUs defense on Saturdayās giving up multiple 3rd and 8 plus yards. The defense line is garbage.
-
I was getting fired up to check the boxscore to blame penalties for the lossā¦but then i saw the Broncos penalties and that excuse fell out the window!
Chiefs: 10 penalties for 69 yards
Broncos: 10 penalties for 147 yards
-
7-1 our last 8. Life is good for @wissox and I! Ben Johnson is so good.

Is an asteroid headed to earth? The Bears look good and the chiefs stink lol
-
Itās a new era!
-
KU football is consistently winning 5 games a yearā¦. What did it cost? Me looks at the chiefs and KU basketballā¦.everything lol
-
@FarmerJayhawk Enjoying the ride, while trying not to suffer a coronary! TBH, the whole thing could come crashing down with the difficult part of the schedule looming. But just even being still interested in pro football this time of year is fun.

Yes, the refs really stayed involved the entire game. Rarely did the miss an opportunity to shine. It was their moment!
Ugg just a brutal game to watch. Denverās defense is legit.
-
@dylans Respectfully, everyoneās defense looks pretty good aganst this Chiefās offense.
-
@nuleafjhawk the chiefs put up more passing yards than the broncos average giving up. Just no idea why they out right refuse to run the ball in any capacity.
-
I see one of two things happening here, the team folds and only wins a few more games this season. Or the team goes on a run starting next week and Mahomes wins MVP again and the chiefs make the playoffs.
-
@kjayhawks Unfortunately, my money is on option #1
