Whittingham is about 30-32 years old and is said to be a defensive wizard. Dad is a coach too who knew Reid apparently and that's how Whittingham came to KC after being a coach in collage.

Awesome, I hope this guy stays around for a while! Maybe get the linebacker coaching job and then we can promote to DC once Spags decides to retire.

The idea the rested Chiefs could start their divisional round game rusty is a concern, but just a small one for Reid, who expressed trust in his veterans. Last season, the Chiefs became the first champion to rally to win each postseason game after trailing by 10 or more points. Their greatest feat was responding from a 24-0 deficit against the Texans — in the divisional round — by scoring a touchdown on seven consecutive drives.

Reid thinks the Chiefs’ path toward another championship will be harder than it was a year ago. He urged his players Monday to utilize their bye week to aid in elevating their performance. But he reminded the Chiefs they can’t become too emotional.
“You have to be able to take it up another notch without getting so tied into that that you can’t completely function,” Reid said. “Sometimes you can try so hard that everything goes the opposite way.”

Mahomes’ response to Reid’s words was to reference the Chiefs’ positive results this season against playoff teams. The Chiefs won all four games and were victorious by an average margin of 7.2 points. Improved health from rest, new offensive plays to unleash and studious defense has Mahomes confident the Chiefs can have their best performance of the season next weekend.

“If you watched us throughout the season, it feels like we always raised up and played better in the big games,” Mahomes said. “Knowing that the next (potential) three are going to be big games, I know I’m going to get the best effort out of every single guy on this team and we’re going to raise our game to be even better. I’m excited for it because I know what this team can do. It can be a special run.”

That right there is what I think happened to the offense last season against HOU in the Divisional Round. I don't think they came out flat as much as they were so over-excited that they were trying to run with the ball before they had secured it. It's a common failing with young teams that get into the playoffs for the first or second time, particularly if they lost in the playoffs the season before.

This season I expect it to be very different, as we ended up signing 20(?) of the 22 starters from last season's playoff run. They won't have those jitters, and they're will be enough of them on the field that the newer guys will have those vets to lean on early in the game.

So while I do expect this playoff run to be more difficult in some ways than last season's, I have no doubt that KC will win their way into yet another SB because they've had the experience of having to mount multiple comebacks last season.

If the mods vote to have me not here, i’ll never post again.

It's a DEAD subject.

Multiple sources have come to light since the child abuse incident happened that not only prove that he never abused his child but that he plead guilty to assaulting Espinal because he was stuck and it was his only way to go on with his football career. Lots of people plead guilty to lesser charges to avoid a trial because there's no guarantee a jury will see things clearly.

I heard what I heard with my own two ears.

On audio tape.

There is no taking that back.

But again, let’s not talk about Hill, it’s the one thing that mods don’t allow.

Brady.

Without a second thought.

If Mahomes keeps doing what he’s doing over a decade, then the answer will switch to Mahomes.

But after only 1 Super Bowl, Mahomes can’t hold Brady’s jock (yet).

And Josh Allen CHOAKS on his.

I tried to enlighten you, and you wouldn't listen. And then I tried to warn you, and ditto.

You need to shut the eff up about things you obviously know almost nothing about.

You're obviously not thinking this through. If you take Brady, you have to have a great top-5 defense, a top-5 OL, a top-10 rushing offense, and a pair of top-10 between-the-numbers receivers, at a minimum to win championships. The minute you don't have one of those things, Brady's effectiveness drops off.

With Mahomes, all you need is a middle-of-the-road defense at best, a middling OL, an average running game, and at least two top-10 receiving threats to win championships. Lose one of these things and Mahomes will still get into the playoffs and has a better than even chance of getting to a SB.

There's no real comparison between the two in terms of potential. Mahomes is clearly the better choice to build a team around for a SB run.

He scored 28+ points in at least 3 of his last 5 Super Bowl’s.

Potential? Sure, Mahomes has the potential to be greater than Brady.

But as YOU say with Allen, until he shows it over time, you can’t say it.

Until Mahomes shows that he can do it for a decade, you can’t take him over Brady.

There is a reason why Brady is widely considered the GOAT.

It’s SUSTAINED greatness.

I’m honestly shocked that Chiefs fans think Mahomes is in Brady’s league already (goat wise).

I wouldn’t put Mahomes in the top-10 all time yet.

I’m sure he’ll get there though. It takes time.

Brady had a top-5 defense nearly every SB season. ditto a top-5 OL, running game, and a pair of top-10 receivers between the numbers. Whenever he didn't have one of those things in his back pocket, he lost or didn't make it to the SB. Heck, if he didn't have a bye week he lost.

Mahomes has proven already that he doesn't need all of that. He barely needs a defense. or a running game. Give him a NFL average OL and a couple of top-tier receivers and he will get you into the playoffs, with a better than even chance to go to the SB.

And greatness is about accomplishments, which I was never talking about. Brady obviously is the most accomplished QB ever, which speaks to his greatness.

But he's never been the best QB. He's immobile, has never had more than a slightly better than average arm either in strength or arm talent. He's the epitome of a system QB. Once he has to improv though, he's less than average.

And the question wasn't who is the greatest QB, but who is the best QB to take you to a SB or something like that. The question is all about potential, not what a QB has already done.

And under those constraints, there's no other choice but Patrick Mahomes II. Give him two really good receivers and average everything else and he'll put you in position to win championships. Brady never did anything like that.

One of the many things that make Mahomes special. Not only does he execute the full Reid playbook flawlessly, but he adds to it with his own plays which many times work.

Seriously this thread has nothing to do with the Bills or Allen. How about you stay out of it if you can't provide anything than your recycled inputs.
