In your opinion are we the 2013 Chiefs or more the Seahawks?

Enough cannot be said of how amazing it is we are 7-0, I mean this team is so unbelievable and the fact we are 7-0 without our star WR and our GOAT MLB practically missing the first 4 games is remarkable.

I was doing some thinking and I remember in 2013 when the Chiefs started the season at 9-0, (crazy to think right?) and went on to finish 11-5, got a wild card and lost in the first round after the Luck led Colts came back after being down by like 24 pts and needless to say the Chiefs lost in the playoffs. 

That year the Chiefs had a so so offense but a very stout D like ours. 

Or are we more like the Seahawks? Elite D, opportunistic, ground and pound running game that are legit SB contenders? I guess the argument could be made that the Chiefs that year came out of nowhere with a new HC and suprised a lot of people whereas we are more battle tested and coming off two consecutive playoff seasons whereas the Chiefs were coming off a 2-14 season.

 

What say you?

I live in KC and saw a lot of the 2013 Chiefs... that team was incredibly overrated and anyone who wasn't a Chiefs fan knew they were an 8-8 team that benefited from some serious good fortune. Any successful team in the NFL has some bounces and breaks go their way, but this Carolina team is galvanized in a way that the Chiefs weren't (and still aren't) and plays within itself to maximize the considerable talent on the roster. They drive us fans crazy with uneven performances like the one Monday night, but this team is not overrated. No comparison.

Everyone hates on PU for starting threads but we already have responses to his questions and I predict this thread will go 10+ pages (as many of his other threads do).

They may be stupid but I do have some time to kill so will be checking back.

At least he has slowed down (?)

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
