The evidence on the current booster is actually pretty good. Jury is still out on this year's flu vaccine. We'll see.

It protected me.  My sister in law, not so much.

We could be entering a 5+ year stretch where the Chiefs are a better bet than the field to win the SB.

Not at all.  Perfectly legal.   I can repost the video if you'd like to see it.

I watched it. Don’t quite agree but I don’t really give a damn.  I did think the game was yet another example of poor officiating.  Bad spots and offensive holding not called throughout.  Thought the McDuffie holding call was bad call.

meh... eagles from earlier in the season could have beat that chiefs team last night. In fact, they already did it once this year.

I dont think the blog is ever productive. There are definitely worse people in here that troll and race bait more regularly than Ace occasionally acting a fool when hes had too many drinks during a football game.

And those people have been given warnings or suspended in the past. They also should be suspended or warned and if repeatedly banned. Again we've suspend and done that to  people like that the past.

Yea…the worst possible iteration of this Chiefs team just won a sb.  Now they have a full offseason to get WRs.  Sure, easier said than done, but they have ONE mission for the entire offseason and suddenly the defending champs are leaps and bounds better.

The only way to compete with them is to have Brock Purdy or Jalen Hurts on rookie deals buttressed by a vastly superior roster.  Once these QBs get the same contract as Mahomes, the party is over.

I got it when I got my flu shot.  Between work and raising a toddler, I can't afford to go down.

I'm glad it worked for you. High risk people should do what they need to do. It's so mild now I'd rather take the risk than deal with the side effects the vax gives me. Tried them and wasn't a fan so I'm not against them. Personal thing I guess.

Theyll lose some free agents. Who knows if they get any WRs. Hill has been gone a few years. The most consequential move theyve made since then is sign Smith-Schuster for 1 year and let him walk. 

Its just as likely they think Rashee Rice is going to develop next year and choose to ignore the position again.

Reddick is only 29 years old. It’s not inconceivable that a team out there would believe there would be receiving 3-4 good years of service.

I do still believe that there will be conditions involved with the draft compensation. I just don’t think he’s considered "old” yet.

I don't think he's "old" yet either, but there is a difference between trading for him or trading for a guy like Khalil Mack when he was 26. I think his age will be factored in somehow either in trade compensation or contract extension, possibly both.

You realize that Reddick is pushing for a trade because he wants a new deal.  It would be a mistake to invest heavily in Reddick given his age.  I don't know what his market value is but I don't think Roseman would be making a mistake to trade him if he can get at least a day 2 pick back from a team.  

Unheralded move by Howie was the signing of Terrell Lewis.  Could easily see Nolan Smith moving into Reddick’s role and Lewis as the back up Sam.  Lewis has DE sized weight and height.  Bend a bit of concern.  Thought he was overdrafted by the Rams.

Ok then bring back 4for4, shocker and the others if that’s the case.

This. He's 30 when the season starts. You can't keep everyone and pay the QB.

Shanahan might not sleep tue entire offseason after seeing what the right side of the line did here. 

Their offensive line sucks, one of the reasons I picked the Chiefs. Trent Williams is their only good OL.

I was one of the few people on the message board that said to keep Andy Reid. my rationale was you were really unlikely to get a better coach than him, and if you thought a second year Nick Foles could be a franchise quarterback than Andy Reid is the guy to maximize his potential.

That said, I also understood why reid, Lurie and the eagles made the decision they did. I didn’t like it, but at least understood the rationale and the reasons behind it ( Reid’s family issues, team decline and other factors). So I couldn’t really blame them for making that decision they did. 

That family needed a reset and I am sorry it didn’t work for his other son.  

I will say this, if they trade Reddick, they better go the free agency route and get a guy like Burns. Or if someone is on the trade market, like if the Jags don't want to pay Josh Allen, trade for him after he's tagged. Going into the draft with their group of edge rushers, even if they were to sign a depth guy like Van Ginkel... it's a recipe for disaster.

And even this scenario isn't perfect, because every dollar they spend in FA on an edge is a dollar they can't spend on a back 7 player they so desperately need.

I cant. But we can stop calling for more suspensions and bannings.

I like this idea as well. There’s younger talent available. I was hoping to sign someone on the dline before this trade news came out. Would love to move off sweat. (May be in the minority there)

Why i said i understood why they did it. I am not even mad they did it. I got why they did it.  

Berman thinks a Reddick trade is happening. Caplan is "Pessimistic" this goes down the way Slay did. That's the only two predictions I've heard so far. I wonder if they heard something more off the record during the SB week.

Don’t really think this is the same thing as slay. Slay was a 32 year old corner going on 33. Teams didn’t have the value for him that the eagles had for him to stay here. I think Reddick being the type of pass rusher he is will find a team willing to pay him and give what they think is fair compensation (guess a 2nd rounder). I think his market is going to be more fruitful then slay’s.

Agree, the situation is completely different. He just meant he doesn't think it's going to be as easy as Reddick going out and coming back with a number that Howie will match.

If Kelce wants to come back, it's a no brainer on a deal like this year. He's still one of the top 2 players at his position in the league. BG will come back cheap as well as depth. Cox will be the most likely to be gone of those 3.

I think with the switch to Vic, we see that. Milton playing more end, and drafting someone built more like Brandon Dorlus. More 3-4 ends.

Actually thought Fletch outplayed BG this season.  I thought Kelce and the entire OL had a down year.   He will be 36.  Let Cam play C where he belongs. None of those three are on the vet minimum. Time to move on.
