Where are you on Williams?  I'd rather draft a DT than spend the money necessary to keep him.  Hard but I think that is the right approach.

Thats not my answer. 

The fact that you are openly holding a pretend conversation with me is really odd.

So, theyre only going to pay $24.16 of our $474 next month when the bills are due for the boards?

Yeah, that's just the way they pay out, they're always delayed by a couple of months. The bulk of that $474 will pay out in May.

Lets see how he manages the winning. He failed bigly last time. Remains to be seen if he learned and improved.

the drafting last few years is night and day. But also got a real DC

This is a cop out.

I get that we will get what we are owed, eventually.  Thats just a bit inconvenient due to the timing of the bill coming due. Are we covered for the year or will we need a little gofundme drive?

Interestingly, they seemed to open it up for... the backups? But not the starter. hmm... Yeah makes sense. It must have been the coaches just not opening things up till it mattered. 

The backups didn't have the luxury of Barkley the same way.

No, we're covered, so it's all good. Even if we were short, I'd cover it and then when the payout came, recover it. So it's all good. They actually have something that they're pushing for an 'advance payment' and we're qualified for it. But I haven't read into it yet to see if they take a little off the top or if it all comes to us. But either way, we're good with it whenever it's paid.

In 2020 The Chiefs O-line was injured. In 2024 going into 2025 they are just bad.

The Mahomes vs Brady comparisons are stupid. Brady is a unicorn who became 24 year old Dan Marino + SB Montana in the playoffs at age 30 and did not stop until 44. Patrick Mahomes is already 2 years into decline Marino (Dan burned bright for about 5 years and was just 7th to 12th best after that) Losing Kelce or getting an even older Kelce is going to knock him down even further. The lower the talent around him, the more his hero ball looks like Carson Wentz.

You can never take away what Mahomes was from 2018-2022 (the best QB through 5 years as a starter) but he is not that guy anymore.

 

Its so incredibly hard to be an elite QB for a long period of time.

Brady won 13 playoff games in his 30s and another 10 in his 40s. Some people thought Rodgers was owed similar success.

Rodgers won 6 playoff games in his 30s and turned to drugs and conspiracy theories.

Jim Kelly had about 2 years. The rest of his career is a bad joke. The HoF is the punch line. Kelly was Dilfer for a few of those SB runs.

• He had 67 TDs to 36 picks in the first 2 SB years. (12 fumbles)
• He had 44 TDs to 42 picks in the last 2 SB years. (20 fumbles)

Aikman could not keep his winning pace up after the the Johnson / Hershel built powerhouse roster faded. It only extended to a 3rd win because of Deion.

Favre won 9 playoff games in 5 years and then won 4 in his next 12

Brees won 3 playoff games and a SB in 2009. He got Beast Quaked the next year and wound up with 2 playoff wins in the next 7 years.

Rivers won 3 playoff games in 2 years and lost a close AFCCG. That team was loaded. He won 1 more playoff game 5 years later, 1 more 5 years after that.

67.5% 3928yds and 26TDs in a down year?

I already knew you would say you would front it for the time being. I would hope you wouldnt have to front it, but glad to hear that wont be the case.

Request: Please @ drooling imbeciles instead of quoting them. You go around ignore when you market their stupidity to the rest of us with quotes. Any pretend Eagles fan who is happy that the Chiefs got a slick field and the refs in their pockets in 2022 because it fits their agenda should not be inflicted on the rest of us.

Here's a question: Did the Eagles offense look better in the final 2 games more because Jalen Hurts played better or because Kellen Moore called better games? Can only pick one.

I’ll beg the question and offer one of my own. Did the Eagles offense look better because it played better or because the opponents’ defenses played worse? Loading the box and single covering the receivers did minimize the damage Saquon could do but it opened up opportunities for Brown, Smith, Dotson , and Goedert. Perhaps it was not better coaching by Moore but worse by Spags, etc.

Yeah totally, Moore "opened up" the offense for the second stringers in a meaningless game to end the regular season, and then promptly closed it back up for the most important games of the year. Solid theory ya got there, Inspector Clooseau.

We had a couple of generous donations after the Super Bowl (Which whoever it was on here, it's very much appreciated!), plus we had close to $1k in the bank and over $1k from Amazon coming and a couple hundred from Google coming to us. So we're covered. Right now, we're working on 2026's bills. 

For those that donate above a certain amount, I'm trying to work on a special 'gift' that I can send them as a thank you. But it may not be completed until into March.

How do you guys think the Chiefs respond? Will this break them and they will start to regress? Or will this motivate them and they will come back with a vengeance next year? At some point, Kelce and Reid will retire but probably not this offseason.

Other teams have now seen the Bucs and Eagles dominate with defense especially the pass rush. Expect the AFC playoff teams to try to use that blueprint, and the Chiefs to be aware and address their O line and strategy. (They seemed to think stopping Barkley and letting Mahomes be "magic" was going to make an easy win. They were blindsided.)

The refs also were fair in the SB. There was too much national attention. I hope that continues next year, the Chiefs can't keep getting assists from the refs so blatantly. Will the Bills, Bengals or Ravens make it to the SB next year instead? 

The Chiefs eked by in the regular season.  The biggest problem is a very sub-par o-line. I just don't think any of the defenses they faced in the AFC could take advantage of the issues because they could not adequately defend the short passing game.  KC had to live on the short passing game because they could not protect Mahomes on longer developing plays.  I do think there is also a skill player deficit for KC.  Even if KC fixes the o-line, I don't know that they beat the Eagles unless the Eagles have a big drop off in their back 7.  

The Bills probably have the easiest fix because they could upgrade on either side of the ball to improve and be better.  I do wonder if the Ravens would have been able to beat KC.

I think it's too early to dismiss Huff

The mistake was thinking he could be a 3-4 OLB, it's obvious like Reddick and Sweat that he's a one trick pony.

So use him in that role, designated pass rusher for 20-30 snaps a game. I think in that role you'll get your money's worth.

Then draft/sign a couple athletic tweeners that most teams don't like in today's NFL and train them for the 3-4 OLB/edge rusher role.

I'm intrigued.  

Nolan Smith is going to do what everyone hoped Huff would do, and then some.  I think Hunt is going to be just fine replacing Sweat.  So we are good there.

But we do need a rotation, especially considering the two up-front starters are pretty green.  So additions need to be made.

But...one would think that Huff would thrive in that role.  Limited snaps, mostly pass rush.  The problem is that's all we needed from him down the stretch this year too.  And he didn't even dress for the SB and was useless in the other games.  So if he couldn't capture that role now, I'm not sure how likely he is to do it next year either.

Still...we literally need a stand-up rotational edge rusher this off season.

Very good analysis. I've been saying over the last 3 years (as I watch all Chiefs games as wife is Chiefs fan) that Mahomes winning these recent superbowls have masked his inconsistent play. He's been pretty good (especially in crunch time and playoffs) but not hall of fame great. Finally comes to light now. In addition, he's getting these leg injuries that he plays through, but his mobility has taken a step down. Easier to sack now. Needs a stellar offensive line or he's dead meat. On another note, I have always disagreed with that Tyreek Hill trade, although they got a great return in draft picks, but so far it's pretty much McDuffie as the main haul. With that said, their offense has not nearly been the same since. Used to be dynamic and explosive with Tyreek.

Because Jalen Hurts called a better game

This is a good point. Hurts was making much better decisions pre-snap, and that in turn allowed him to be more decisive post snap.

We all see the **** in Hurts’ armor: it’s when he has to go deep into his reads after the snap. He tends to hold the ball a lot as it is, but when he isn’t clear where the ball should go, that’s when he starts taking bad snaps.

By diagnosing the defense correctly before the snap he was able to throw those go routes quickly before pressure could get to him, and even under pressure, he could ignore it because he knew where the ball was going.

Triggered? No just pointing out to you that you can't even say something positive without bringing up a bad game he had in the past. Your boyfriend played like absolute dogshit in the biggest moment and you'd never think to criticize him. He was outplayed twice by your own qb1 yet you can't stop saying yeah but you remember that one game where he lost? It's like taboo to support your own teams qb. You're pathetic
