A Level Headed Review Week 4 2024

[DenverChief]

Steele really needs to work on keeping both hands on the ball. That was just a good strip tackle but if he had kept both hands on the ball he wouldn't have fumbled.

PAT! Over threw Kelce right into the defenders hands. Gotta be better, I feel like he is forcing the deep ball.

Rice I really hope it's nothing long term or our offense is going to change dramatically.

Kareem Hunt sure looks like he still has "it". Has had some really good runs and catches out of the backfield. Can't wait for him to become more comfortable with the Offense. We need all the help we can right now.

Kelce looking like his old self again.

Jaylen Watson with the behind the line of scrimmage stop on 3rd and 1. Great defensive play.

Ariaiza seems to be getting his pin punting down. ST's are showing up and making the Chargers life hard.

Defense is really stepping up and covering for our Offense.

X gonna run right past ya for the TD.

I know we are short at WR but for the love of god stop throwing the ball to Moore....anybody else on the bench?

65 yard FG short by just a few yards - that's pretty darn impressive in its own right. Silly Chargers with the 55 yd FG miss.

Watson was wide open in the EZ on the 1 yard PM run. Also, gotta hand it to the Chargers D-line for playing very disciplined with their lane/gap assignments keeping Mahomes from stepping up and creating with his feet.

Hicks with the nice extension to almost get a pick on Herbert.

Is it just me or does Harbaugh look like he is about to have a mental breakdown?

Our Red Zone defense has really been impressive. CJ and FAU really made that 4th down turn over happen.

LOVE seeing Hunt crawling on the ground doing the "feed me" motion ****ING LOVE THAT HE IS BACK.

Perine with the hard earned TD. Love seeing us be able to run the ball again. As of this writing:

Hunt 12 Rushes for 65 yards 5.4 YPC

CHRIS JONES with the timely sack. Chamari Connor created that sack by drawing the back away from the jones pressure.

X gonna run past ya again for the critical first down. That play right there is going to win games for us. Go ahead we'll take the 5 yard under and let our fastest guy run right past you for the first down.

[DenverChief]

Also, another week of losing the turn over battle and still winning the game. That's pretty damn impressive - we are -4 in turnovers since week 1. The only games we broke even were the Ravens (1/1) and the Falcons (1/1). This week (0/2) vs the Bengals (1/3)

Imagine if we fix this issue.

If we get Pacheco back and Hunt plays like this, that’s by far the best running back room we’ve had with Mahomes. Plus Perine as RB3.

[Easy 6]

Hunt was the single biggest story today, stepping in after two weeks and looking like that?

Just imagine it 3-4 weeks from now when he's fully dialed into the new scheme, it'll be like deja vu all over again/Yogi Berra

[Chris Meck]

I just love it when Jonesy goes all Cocaine Bear.

Hunt looks like...well, Hunt.

Worthy is going to have to grow up fast, but boy is he...fast.

oh, and just in case you missed it, Kelce is still Kelce.

We'll be alright.

Cocaine bear is spot on

Can anyone get a gif of Hunt laying on the ground doing the spoon in the spoon “feed me”. ****ing love that.

If Hunt looked good in practice, and we see what he did today, the it is absolutely criminal that Andy started wish.com Mike Alstott over Kareem Hunt.

Gotta wonder how many of those fumbles can happen until enough is enough.

The Mahomes int, and subsequent QB destroys his own WR may be the most sickeningly bizarre thing I've ever seen in over 3 decades of Chiefs football. Just an out of left field shot to the pills.

This defense looks up to the task of carrying the load once again, as our offense could not reach 20 points thos game. Losing Rice was huge, Worthys development is going to have to be accelerated a bit.

The Kelce screeching can cease. Guy was absolute money today.

Mahomes didn't, doesn't, and never will "suck". This dude is 12-0 going down 10 points. How many title games straight, MVPS, SBMVPS do you need before you chalk up a bad day at the office as just that, and have faith the dude is gonna come through? Imagine talking shit on 15.

Jawaan Taylor, man. This dude is frustrating. Not much else to add there. We paid a lot for this dude, and theres a lot of sloppy shit were getting in return.

And with all our close games and a defense that can’t force turnovers, having a fumble prone RB is just no bueno

Hunt and Perine gotta carry the load for us. Steele is good at pushing piles and running forward but those fumbles don’t justify it.

Why would Reid have benched Steele over a fumble he didn’t know was gonna happen? Steele hadn’t done anything up to that point to play his way out of his job.

I just feel like the RB rotation should be Hunt on 1st/2nd Down and Perine on 3rd. CEH and Steele should be the relief. Not sure what happened on that Steele swing pass that he didn't catch. Looked like Mahomes wanted him to go deeper but then shorted the pass.

I like the idea of Steele given how we have a bunch of rentals. Between perine, hunt, ceh … who knows what our rotation looks like next year. So we can’t risk losing him. But yeah things like pass pro, ball security, running routes and catching passes I don’t know his spot given our rb depth right now. I mean when pop comes back we’ll have 5 guys in the rotation which is crazy to think about

My guess is if Hunt shows out this year he earns at least a 2 year contract. I really feel like, especially after watching today's game, that Hunt has a lot more left in the tank than we have given him credit for. He really didn't have a lot of miles on him behind Chubb...this could be another Marcus Allen type guy playing into his mid thirties.

Reid said in post game he's not down the kid, it's just the typical planet gameday overreaction.

Oh.

So Steele, with a track record for shitty ball security was outperforming Kareem Hunt in practice?

Gonna have to miss me with that nonsense. Steele's only asset is that he likes to plow into and over people, ball security be damned.
