One injury to anyone on the OL and we are looking at a dumpster fire of an OL.
I ****ing SHIVER if either of our tackles gets hurt or taps out.

Tardif hasn't been 'at his best' for 3 seasons. Mahomes has never had a 'good' version of Tardif in front of him. I don't think he was ever really getting back there, to be honest. Moreover, Wylie at RG was pretty steady in '18 - as good as LDT was that season at least.
And Remmers is better than Erving was last year, by a fair bit, IMO.
So the likely starting OL of Fisher - Osemele - Reiter - Wylie - Schwartz is probably about on par with anything Mahomes has had over the last 2 seasons. And if Fisher goes down, Remmers is probably better than any swing tackle we've had on the roster. If a G goes down, Rankin is probably as good as any backup G we've had. Allegretti was already the backup C.
I don't see any real cause for alarm.
Yet.
Opt-out period isn't over and any more hits could really start to sting.
