Patrick Mahomes is not going to be an automatic dominate force in the league for another 10 years. He needs to evolve and also needs to get in better shape
We should trade Chris Jones. He seems to only play well on a contract year.
Mahomes career year (by stats) was 2018. He’ll never have a better one.
Many were predicting him to break single season TD and yards records year over year. I said this at the time (or in 2019).
Grbac over Gannon was the right choice at the time and he wasn’t the reason we lost to the Broncos in the playoffs.
Skyy Moore will figure it out this year /s
In reality though – I enjoyed all the close games we had last year. In the moment my heart was racing and I was stressed out. But thats what you live for as a sports fan.
We should have a yellow jersey.
Franchise probably just peaked and we will likely never have it as good ever again. I hope you enjoyed it. I know I sure did.
Kelce should’ve retired this offseason.
Pacheco and Bolton are both wildly overrated by this fanbase. Pacheco is a change of pace back at best and Bolton is a liability in coverage against every single elite offense we face. The Reid/ spags loyalty is both a blessing and a curse
At least veach seems intelligent enough to hedge his bets with Bolton and they seemingly know they need to upgrade at rb in a big way
The fanbase criticizes CEH way too much and (if he hadn’t gotten hurt) he could’ve been a good starter for a handful of years
Claiming a draft pick was a bad pick based entirely on the fact that a better player was picked in the following 32 picks is brain dead logic.
Mahomes actually does need an elite WR#1. Okay maybe not *need* , but without one we are missing on the next level elite capability that we have seen from mahomes in the past. Kelce isn’t that elite WR anymore where it was fine to get rid of tyreek. Getting a $35M truly elite WR#1 might be more necessary than the other baseline thinking of mahomes can get by with 5 WR3s.
Chris Jones is overrated and we should trade him while his stock is high
Maybe not as controversial as other comments, but Nagy needs to go. Play calling has become far too conservative. Starting to feel like the days of Alex smith where every pass was within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.
The tomahawk chop is dumb and unoriginal.
Alex Smith would have gotten us 1 Superbowl if Mahomes was never was drafted by us.
Felix will be a worse bust than Clyde.
Karlaftis is not a quality DE1. He’s a good second option but just lacks the talent to be a great DE in the league.
We should trade Trent Mcduffie not extend him if we can get a first and change.
Cornerbacks don’t seem to last long in this league and they are kind of overpaid and the position doesn’t have a long shelf life
I don’t see many 2nd contract cornerbacks where I felt they earned their pay
They’re afraid to go all in on any one year because they want to keep the window opened for Mahomes’ entire tenure with the Chiefs which puts the burden on Mahomes on having to make players better even though he doesn’t make the most money. They keep making discount deals like Deandre Hopkins instead of getting an alpha level receiving threat with both/or Tyreek and Travis in his prime. They need to learn it’s okay to take risks in a chance to be great. Since they paid Moore 15ms for the next two years I think they should trade up in the first round for a chance at a true alpha. I thought they should’ve traded for someone like Brian Thomas Jr instead of just a potential deep threat who didn’t run real routes at all this past year in Worthy. They should again this year since they’ll probably draft a running back in the later rounds anyways and with Jawaan Taylor’s contract they should since they invested so much in the defense these past 3 years with Felix and especially the 2022 draft class.
The tomahawk chop is not only racist and offensive but a straight up stupid and bad sports chant that is not even unique to the Chiefs (ATL Braves and Florida State also do it)
Veach isn’t as good as everyone says
All things considered, Patrick was phenomenal last year
The coaching staff. Reid and Spags are horrible at adjustments when losing and take too long. They also make really poor decision when in the lead as well instead of sticking to what was working.
Please don’t kill me I love both of them it’s a hot take.
Give Mahomes a legitimate running game and he’ll be unstoppable
That the refs help us during games like all the others that like to bitch and moan about saying how we supposedly have the refs in our pockets. SMDH
The citizens should not be paying for/subsidizing the cost of a new stadium. The literal billionaire owners have more than enough money. You don’t pay for movie theaters.
I think we should be running screens and draws more often than we do to take some pressure off the tackles. Additionally, having an excellent pass blocking TE2 may be worth more than Noah Grey adds as a receiver.
Mahomes sucks at hitting a RB in stride on a swing route and defenses that stop him usually give this up as free yardage as a game plan because he can’t take advantage of the flat well besides scrambling.
It killed CEH because he didn’t have the speed to get back to full speed before someone got to him.
If you don’t agree watch Alex Smith late in his KC tenure and it’s night and day the momentum the RB has on swing routes.
Only negative thing I have for him so don’t crucify me.
Pacheco and Brown are not as good as Hunt and Hopkins. Furthermore, the reliance on them after coming back lead to a worse performance last season overall.
Eric Berry was overrated af. Couldn’t cover a TE to save his life.
Andy Reid is calling the plays and he’s either too scared or has too big of an ego to run the plays that work vs sticking to the gameplan.
If he sticks with what worked, Mahomes would be outside the pocket, throwing it to a deep slant until the defense could show that they can stop it.
Instead he has to run the ball on first down no matter how good the running game has been, and then do shitty play action that doesn’t make anyone bite.
The team could replace Harrison Butker with a league average kicker and get 98% of his production without having to deal with his weird off-field issues.
Skyy Moore was not an objectively bad draft pick from a process standpoint. He was a great athlete who could run routes and fit the profile of what Reid likes.
Compared to the two drafted around him he obviously hasn’t worked out production wise but that’s just how drafts go and always having successful draft picks is an unrealistic standard to set as fans. Plus, Pickens had severe character issues that likely took him off the board and Pierce wasn’t the overall player that Skyy was in college.
Patrick should’ve done himself a favor and not complained about the offensive offsides call on Toney. That just didn’t sit right with me, and I was as pissed about it as the next Chiefs fan was. At the end of the day though, refs do what they do, and bitching about it never makes you look good.
Regarding the new stadium talks; I don’t care whether they play in Missouri or Kansas. It’s all the same if it’s within the metro.
None of these are that hot. Let’s change that.
Todd Haley was actually a great coach for us but was derailed by Scott Pioli.
Tyrann Mathieu was extremely overrated during his time with the chiefs, gets too much credit for our LIV season, and frankly sucked his last year with the chiefs.
Andy Reid cost Kc a handful of superbowls by siding with shitty coordinators and could sink the team more later on. Nagy is horrible and so was Sutton. Both of them cost Kc a superbowl and a lot of that falls on Reid because he decided to stick with them, regardless of all the red flags
Andy Reid has a huge weakness in playcalling. You can blame Nagy all day, but Andy calls the plays and he has a nasty habit of abandoning the run early in close games, allowing defensive lines to only focus on the pass rush. When Kareem Hunt was so dominant in his first year and last year with Pacheco, he was a lot better about it, but as soon as the RB room got a little shaky, Andy started doing it again and it cost us dearly in the Super Bowl.

We should have a black helmet alternate.
