  1. Opening game at Ericcson stadium with my dad. Hot as he'll, got sunburned, and had a great day. Would give anything to be able to do it one more time.
  2. If a decision involving anything with the Panthers, you can pretty much bet we'll get it wrong.
  3. He's about to have the worst defense in NFL history and our run defense was ass even when Brown was healthy. Even if he were to be smaller, he has to be a monster in the middle. Anything less and hes getting blown off the LoS. He's been influential in getting his type of players and this is the result.
  4. You can't run an effective 3-4 without a monster NT and this FO has never really committed to the 3-4 front since Ron switched to it. It's not all Evero's fault, but there's plenty of blame to go around for this defense being this bad.
  5. But we'll remember the sweet taste of victory over the Cardinals forever! Or at least until April.
  6. 500 yards, 7 TDs. Benched after the 1st half.
  7. We can't keep dumping all our resources into offense. Higgins is going to demand top dollar and someone will overpay. Our FO has to find a number 1 in the draft. They've had enough opportunities with all these high picks but damn, go get our Clifford Franklin.
  8. They're not nearly as good as their record indicates. They have been helped along the way a lot by questionable calls/non-calls. This season has been a clinic for the double standard of refereeing when the Chiefs are involved. I'd say they're actually much close to a 10-6 or 11-5 team than 15-1. My guess, Chiefs win the SB, Kelce gets MVP and proposes to Taylor Swift at center field. What a way for Goodell to bring all those Swifties to the NFL for good, don't ya think? The perfect TikTok moment with the NFL center stage.
  9. No need for Dalton to be active for the rest of the season. The season is over. If Bryce goes down or the game gets out of hand play Plummer, there's nothing to lose. Who knows, maybe we blow out the Bucs and they let him take the victory knee.
  10. I'll lay down and be a turnstile at LT for a couple hundred k.
  11. Nobody's slandering you. But calling people out for doing exactly what you yourself have done is kind of comical. Bryce may or not be the guy. My bigger concern is the FO ability to build around him either way while still building a team that can compete year in and out.
  12. I think I had 2-3 wins predicted. As far as the players go, I'm not too concerned. My biggest worry is we've got a GM that has learned at the feet of the master, of failure, Fitts. We've done the same things again, drafting a 1st WR that needs work, a luxury pick RB that may be Eric Shelton 2.0, and spending big money on interior linemen when the most successful teams just draft them, thereby ignoring our defense. We're going to need at least 2 drafts, assuming we hit at a reasonable rate, to repair this defense, at which time Bryce is going into his 5th year option or we have to extend him. Morgan, our scoutng department, and the rest of this FO makes me nervous especially with Tepper's propensity to make his opinion well known.
  13. Don't care if they won or lost. I'm so frustrated with Tepper and the FO, I have zero faith they would find their way out of a wet paper bag. This season was over the minute that no one thought there needed to be actual QB competition in camp. Bryce wasn't ready to start last year. He wasn't ready to start this year. We've wasted 2 seasons to figure out the obvious. Bryce is playing better and he may be a franchise QB and he may not. But once again we drafted guys early for potential instead of actually being able to do the job from day 1. Dan looks like Fitts 2.0 to me and I'm not at all convinced Tepper has stepped back and stopped interfering. I'm disgruntled, but 3 decades of poo GMs will do that.
  14. It matters because we're still not done paying for him and we've spent a ridiculous amount of resources to build around him. Granted, the FO hasn't been good at making picks, but what we've spent on offense while ignoring defense isn't sustainable. At some point Bryce has to be able to elevate the guys around him and work with what he's got. I've made it no secret, I don't think he's a future franchise QB that takes this team to the SB. I think he gets you right on the cusp of playoff team, and maybe a weak division win or a WC, but serious deep runs aren't going to happen. I see him as the king of perpetual mediocrity. And in a couple of years we have to decide if we pay him like a franchise guy. We've paid lots of guys based on potential and it hasn't worked out well for us We'll see if he has "it" and can lead the offense. But I think it's going to get interesting when we have to stop focusing on giving Bryce all the tools and put resources into the defense so that we don't have 3rd string and PS guys as our starters. And as far as the Chiefs being 14-1, they've gotten more help from the refs this year than the Broncos in SB50.
  15. 5 weeks? More like 3. He didn't do squat to win that game against the Giants. That was Chuba and the defense getting 2 key turnovers and Jones shitting the bed. The game winning drive in OT he handed the ball off. That's not progress. That's Jimmy Claussen. That game was who wanted to lose it more and Jones won. He looked better the next 3, and then he poo the bed all over again against Dallas. 3 fumbles is inexcusable. So far we've devoted 3 1sts, 2 in trade plus XL 4 2nds, 2 in trade, Mingo, Brooks (plus 2 5ths) Sanders and Zavala in the 4th DJ Moore Plus the most expensive offensive line in the league. Maybe he'd have more weapons if we hadn't had to pay a kings ransom to be better than one of the worst rookie QB seasons in history.
  16. Probably has something to do with playing guard now too. He's a very big guy and handling edge rushers with speed was probably hard on his lower body.
