Yeah the back up QB starting is the biggest concern (other than the defense) I was thinking we need Scott Turner offense vs the Eagles on MNF 2.0 in order to win. Long sustained clock-killing drives that keep the ball away from Mahommes as much as possible. Even if Mariotta has a respectable...
It's funny because we get Terry & Deebo back for a game where IMO, the running game is actually the more important element we need to be rocking & rolling tomorrow. Luckily Deebo Samuel is a part of that equation. Even healthy I don't think a track meet competition of points is the pathway to...
The other thing to keep in mind is that building a sustained winner in the NFL is not always a linear process. You might have a season sandwiched somewhere in the process where a lot of things go right, fall into place, etc etc....where it feels like as a franchise they are a couple seasons...
If Terry & Deebo are playing it would definitely be a boost, but it doesn't address the actual issue on the team which is the defense. The offense, for how off it has looked in 2025, is still actually putting up enough points in most games that even a middle of the pack defense should be able to...
This is a game that in order to win, the team is going to have to do things on the field I would never in my right frame of mind predict they were able to do. There is always the any given Sunday factor, and I have heard some decent arguments that while the Chiefs are starting to get right...
Maybe hot take but hearing "they don't want to risk it" when holding a player out kind of muddies the situation to me. Risk what exactly? He is either healthy enough to play. You are always "risking" it once the season starts because most players are usually never "100%" anyway. Now if what...
If he can't play Monday due to injury then fine, but if he is medically cleared I think he should be playing or at least starting the game regardless of who else is or isn't healthy (I say starting, meaning I wouldn't mind him coming out of the game eventually in the event of a blowout). This...
There is really no good reason to pick against the Chiefs, but I guess for the sake of my fandom, I should wait until Thursday or Friday when we have a better idea of who on the offense will be back from injury, to make an actual score prediction.
3-4 record is not a sky is falling record, (I have always been under the belief that if you start 5-5 or better, the team has a realistic shot at making the playoffs as long as they are playing their best ball for the remainder of the season) and if the team was getting miraculously healthy this...
If this team is approaching mathematically challenged scenarios to make the playoffs as the deadline approaches, I expect AP will be trading away a lot of contracts in exchanges for picks. If not then, it will be happening as soon as he is allowed to in the post-season.
Yeah my frustration is that we all know the personnel on defense has it's issues, but it's not even their lack of ability that seems to be the stand out issue currently, it's lack of communication, lack of understanding what each of their responsibilities are on each play, the lack of...
The other frustrating thing is that even with Amos for the most part playing well, it hasn't translated into the secondary overall being much better as a unit. A rookie is out there holding it down for the most part. Yes, he gave up that sideline catch today, but overall it is pretty telling...
Zone coverage is usually DOA without a pass rush. If you aren't pressuring the QB into rushing throws, or throwing from odd angles, all they are having to do is sit back and wait for a WR to run into a soft coverage area of the field.
This team is not very good on either side of the ball right now. On offense it is obvious that they can't sustain the injuries they have to remain consistently productive. They manage to put together an impressive drive here and there still, but never any rhythm never much to show they have...
Losing to teams because they are good (better than this team) is one thing, but for two weeks in a row this team has been embarrassed on the field by teams that most experts don't see being better than .500 teams themselves. Analysts acting like Caleb Williams was good last week because he...
Honestly, a shootout is wishful thinking at this point. I know the offense is going to get back on track eventually, but I am just not sure it will be this week, not because of having anything to do with the Cowboys defense, just that I am more in a wait & see mode. I think each week we see...
