2025 Chiefs
-
@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
-
I think the Chiefs finish 10-7 and barely miss the playoffs
-
IMHO, Pacheco’s absence is significant. It limits the running game which in turn affects the passing game.
-
@bskeet definitely didn’t help any because they was scared to run anyone but Hunt. I still think they were stupid for not giving a 3rd round pick for Hall. They need a guy with big play capability. Hunt and Pop have combined for 1 rush for more than 20 yards this season. Sorry but that is pathetic, it’s also pathetic Chris Jones is the highest paid defensive lineman in the NFL and grades out in the mid 60s. Trade him for a couple of younger guy with the Hall trade and this team hasn’t lost since.
-
@kjayhawks KC has 5 picks in the draft, plus a probable compensatory pick. Giving up a 3rd round pick for a half season of a guy whose career stats are actually quite similar to Pacheco seems like a no brainer: No. The 3rd rounder will be on a rookie contract whereas keeping Hall past this year would require another weighty contract. You are already unhappy with the Chiefs’ cap situation–I’m surprised you want them to take on a rental and lose the advantages of getting a top 80-90 draftee cheaply.
-
@mayjay Hall is a big upgrade imo from Pop, he averages almost a yard more per carry and actually has some long runs. I think the chiefs are better up front than the jets by a fair margin. In terms of the draft, it depends on whom they draft. Sky Moore was a laughable pick as was CEH and Felix. We wasted two first round picks on guys that everyone with brain were low on.
-
I agree Hall would have been nice and we probably should have made the trade. However, I don’t think it would have been hugely impactful. It would have made our offense a little better but would have done nothing to address the real issue: our defense. Because we refused to address the D-line at all, every above-average offense we face will continue to move the ball on us at will.
-
@Jhawk69 you look at the salaries of D-lineman we could have 2 really good ones for the price we paid Chris Jones. Watching the bills struggle tonight and lose to the Texans. It was all on the defensive front, Josh was sacked 8 times and ran for his life the whole game. The only difference in Mahomes and Allen in that situation is that people like @nuleafjhawk wont be screaming Josh is washed after a bad game. The chiefs just can’t get pressure with 4 and they struggle getting even sending extra rushers. The secondary is decent but it’s the NFL, you can give a decent QB and WRs 4-6 seconds every play to make a throw. I’m disappointed they made zero moves because anyone that knows football knows the issue is D-line and either RBs or just flat out not attempting to run the ball at all. I bet teams laugh at the play action against KC.
-
@kjayhawks I’m getting a tattoo tomorrow…
Josh is washed
-
I think they need to completely scrap the red zone offensive pay book
-
Congrats! Beat a good team, great come back.
-
Definitely a type of win that can turn the tide on this season. They actually tried to run the ball and that helped a lot. Gotta work on turning possessions into TDs instead of FGs and catching the ball would be nice. Pat would’ve had over 400 and two touchdowns if we could just catch. The game doesn’t even need OT. The result is what we needed but still can’t afford a loss at this point. Good news is the schedule is much lighter the last 6 games outside of Denver at home.

Schedule “lighter” but several difficult games - Dallas next week, Texans (their defense is very good), Broncos and Chargers. And no margin for error. Jacksonville just beat Arizona in OT to basically stay 2 games up on the Chiefs for one of the wild card slots. Probably need to go 5-1 down the stretch and that is a tall order…
-
Quick turn around. Hunt took a beating! Pat did too!
-
How about 8-3 Chicago! With Philly losing we’re now tied for the 2 seed
-
@DCHawker never an easy game in the NFL, they are all must wins at this point

With a negative point differential and beating one team with a winning record at the time. That is wild to me. However I would love to see the Bears win the division just to see all the KSU/Packer combo fans suffer.
-
@BShark yeah that whole demolition against Detroit sticks out lol
-
Btw - the Chiefs suck butt. Just sayin.
-
@nuleafjhawk They are really good at getting attention from the refs!
-
I really hate to blame the refs - BUT OMG. It was awful. Even when the a-hole took off his helmet at the end and no penalty. How? Why? There were some real crap calls in that game. I guess Jones does have more money than Hunt.
-
Danged Chiefs.
One step farther away from the playoffs. rats.
-
I thought the offense played pretty decent but my god the defense was terrible and the officiating matched it. Watching a game like that is why I never get to worked up, that was a predetermined out come. It’s one thing to miss a call but multiple ghost holding calls, ghost OPI and the last two DPIs were flat out wrong. That being said they would’ve had a chance if the third down defense did anything. Y’all have heard me say for the last several years pro sports are rigged and with all the crap coming out about the NBA folks involved. I wouldn’t be shocked a bit if the NFL is any different.
-
The front office has just made wrong moves the last few years. Defensive line full of others teams rejects and we paid the wrong dudes. If Mahomes played in a Dome with CeeDee and Pickens, he may average 500 yards a game.

One more loss and we are out
