Chiefs!

Darwin Thompson will be a star for the Chiefs…forget Shady…forget Damien…Thompson will be the unquestioned starter by the end of the year, imo.

I’m not sure even I was this high on him but…I could see it.
-
I’m not sold on McCoy just yet myself. He’s had some good seasons but hasn’t averaged over 4 yards per carry in a couple years. Last year was a career worst for him at 3.2.
-
@BShark It must be nice getting to watch that offense every week.
-
@kjayhawks He’ll probably have some good games, but they’ll gradually fade McCoy out, and go with Thompson. Shady went from the outhouse to the penthouse, didn’t he?

Sure is. Been suffering for a long time with shitty qb play until now.
-
Thompson will be good. I do think his size will limit his touches. Similar to how Darren Sproles career was extended because he was basically only a 3rd down back his entire career.
You knew he couldn’t handle 20 touches a game. But he could handle 10 and they’d all be explosive touches.
-
If they get Sproles impact out of a sixth round guy that would be pretty okay.

I mostly mean usage. I don’t know if he ever becomes sproles. But I do like his skill set
-
@BShark I’m happy after decades of the chiefs trading or signing a back up/ guy that had been benched. They finally used a high draft pick for a QB. I’m not sure I could name all the guys in that category. Montana, Erbac, Bono, Gannon, Green, Cassel and Smith. “Doing the samething over and over while expecting a different result is insanity”

@Kcmatt7 Here’s breakdown of the KC backfield. Thompson is getting all of the goal line carries, and is taking half the snaps with the first team the last two weeks.
-
KC has options at running back. Each guy can do something a little different. That should limit the wear and tear on everyone, which means those guys should all be ready to go come January when this stuff matters.
-
@justanotherfan Rotate and motivate

Orton was 2-1 and had a career game here to beat the undefeated Packers…

I stand by my statement. I think Thompson will do most of his work in 2-minute and 3rd down situations. He’ll see 9-10 touches a game.

I mean…no chance you want him as THE GUY at qb.

No, but he just gets weirdly dumped on by KC fans, imo. Like lumping him in with Thigpen is just such an insult to the man and he isn’t even able to defend himself lol.
-
@Kcmatt7 probably because instead of starting for the Chiefs (admittedly a dumpster fire at the time) he chose to be a backup in Dallas. But I didn’t bring him up and actually wanted him back for another year in KC. It would’ve been better than what they got.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’m pretty okay with lumping every QB between Green and Mahomes together. And obviously Mahomes is on another planet compared to Green but Green was good.

He did his job perfectly.
He played well enough that he got Romeo hired. Caused them to be so bad next year that we got Romeo fired and were able to go get Andy. (Also we landed Kelce in that 2013 draft with Fisher).
Think about that for a second @BShark…
Also Alex Smith was good here. Andy was a big reason, but Alex was good.
-
After watching all the wildly incompetent quarterback play for years, Alex was a breath of fresh air. Mahomes is transcendent though.
-
Even though Green Bay is my favorite - - guys I’m telling you I love watching the Chiefs play - - boy they got some weapons.
A Bunch of BS - -watching them against Jacksonville and the dam station pulls the game - -that’s a crook of C - - - . - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Easy win with a limping Mahomes and no Hill. Rest up lads.

@jayballer73 It wasn’t pulled. The CBS production truck lost power. NFL Network Redzone explained that no broadcast feed was coming from Jax, so they didn’t have any highlights in the last few mins of the 4th quarter.
-
Tyreek update: Trainer says his shoulder injury led to a problem in his sternum. In the hospital getting treated by an “ortho trauma” physician. Chiefs to update in a day or so.

Full larger update on this. Basically it could be quite bad but doesn’t look like it should be so far.

well what the announcers said when they switched on our local channel - they said let’s go to a more competitive game , on our local station channel 13 what ever affilation that is - - ABC - – NBC - - CBS - -whatever one that is - they didn’t say anything about losing power - - just said they were switching to a more competitive game
-
@mayjay is right! CBS lost power
-
@jayballer73 They may have simply assumed when their network feed got switched because of the power problem.
-
-
-
@jayballer73 Yeah they said initially the line about the competitive game but then quickly corrected it.

Let’s score a few more td’s and get the heck out of there before someone gets killed!
-
Great D! Get out of there!

Rumor is an NFC and an AFC team reached out to the Jags about Ramsey. The NFC team (not sure who) offered a 1st and a 5th round pick. The AFC team (I believe to be the Chiefs Shelborn would be a terrible poker player) offered a first round pick and a player. The offers were declined and countered with two first round picks. I wonder if someone will step up and pay the price or if the Chiefs can continue to bolster their secondary? Can they make the money work with Mahomes due for a pay raise soon or would be be a rental?
-
At least the Chiefs didn’t sign AB. Dodged that bullet.
Fake news, but funny.
-
Chiefs! Gonna be a tough game. Mahomes getting pounded!
-
Dang nice catch! Keep going for it on 4th! Like the field position.
-
Wow, lotta chiefs fans here today? Speed and mahomes!
-
Great game so far. Love the defensive gameplan.

Mahomes is going to be sore! Harbaugh is not good at math

He didn’t want overtime. He got his wish.
-
@BShark All Chiefs fans should sign a thank you card and send it to Harbaugh. He was more valuable to us today than Mahomes was.
-
Both Harbaughs may be in the job hunt this off season.

That’s about all they need from McCoy. He’s a legit threat to run and that’s all they need to freeze the LBs with play action. Damien Williams should be back in the near future.
Everyone knew replacing Kareem Hunt was not going to be easy. Chiefs HAD 5 RBs when the season began. A very solid run by committee was decimated (current definition).
