USA Today: Chiefs finish last in the AFC West
Hope this gets put on the locker room bulletin board. Reid plays the "no respect" card.

Chiefs upgraded on the back end at CB...but overall yes, losing your top probowl CB who's responsible for much of your secondary's turnover production and defensive game changing momentum plays IS def going to hurt. I think he's going to go nuts in that Rams D.

But Rainman has shown above the faulty logic that just because you have a 1st round 'rookie' QB means your QB play is going to regress. I mean, yes, it's possible, but there are numerous instances where it didn't happen. He could hit the ground running with a stable of offensive weapons around him and 'ball out' and we could finish 12-4. He could also struggle, throw a bunch of INT's, or lose skill position players to injuries and we could go 7-9. Either is possible. But no one knows WHAT Mahomes is at this point (Chiefs fans or Donko fans). We'll find out soon enough . . . . |

It's pretty evident that Houston has def not been the same player since he's come back from inj. And I don't think it's because of the lack of production coming from the other side, I think it's more possibly knee related and player digression. Regardless of reason, I really hope he churns out a 14-15 sack season, shouldn't be any reason why he shouldn't be able to get 1 a game for as much as he's making. He's a solid run defender but let's be honest, he's not being paid $100M to stop the run. Sacks are momentum draining for opposing offenses, can create turnovers easier than any other way, and it changes courses of games. Houston needs to start showing up in that dept.

IMO that wasn't a major concern. It costed the Chiefs a couple times yes, but stale offenses lack of pass rush is what hurt more. Chiefs went on a 5 game streak of offensive suckitude. ****ING QUICKSAND! Last edited by CoMoChief; 07-23-2018 at 02:17 PM.. |

I'm also in the camp that thinks losing Peters will be both good and bad.
We're going to miss the guy that can take the ball away on any play, sure. And that's what Peters will be best remembered for, from a playing standpoint. But Peters' ability to take the ball away tended to cause fans to overlook just how mediocre certain aspects of his game are – and the fact that he's just got an overall shitty attitude and demeanor. Peters got burned – a lot. He also called it a "business decision" to make a tackle or not. The dude shied away from contact regularly. There were several times over the course of last year where he just looked disinterested. A few plays that didn't come his way where he'd simply stand there. We'll miss him as a playmaker. But there were times when Peters would essentially render our defense as a 10-man set. I'd rather take my chances with 11 guys that want to be on the field and give it their all, not 10 and one that doesn't really give a shit. |

One of the guys that Mahomes is constantly compared to is Rodgers. Coincidentally, Rodgers is one of the last guys drafted so highly to sit behind a successful quarterback before getting a nod. Let's see how that went.
Here's Rodgers' first season after sitting behind Favre: I'd be okay with that. |

If he can get 10 plus sacks, that's what you want. It's just tough to do that when the dude rushing on the other side is the equivalent of SNR athletically. |

Yes, Mahomes is going to make mistakes. And he'll probably make a fair number of them. But the steaming pile of mediocrity that is the rest of the QBs in this division will make quite a few of their own and won't have the weapons and/or raw talent to come up with the kind of head shaking plays that Mahomes can come up with to counter those. Yeah, Rivers is good - but man oh man does that guy step on his dick when it counts. So he may make fewer mistakes that Mahomes, but history has told us that they'll all be a hell of a lot bigger mistakes. The QB situation doesn't worry me a bit. Honestly, it's the pass rush. Either it will come back this year and cover for the scattershot secondary we're trying to assemble on the fly (let's not call Fuller a known quantity here; 1 year played primarily inside does not a #1 corner make him...) or it will suck as badly as it did last year and the defense may actually be worse. We cannot find ourselves in a situation where we had to rob peter to pay paul defensively again. The Chiefs could sell out to slow the run or the pass but they could never play adequately against both. Fix the pass rush so they don't have to spend so much time in Nickel sets and maybe the run defense shows the improvement we all hope for as well. |

The thing about watching the elite defenses of the league, is they just play fast and fierce. The Jags, the Donks from a few years ago, Seattle etc. The Chiefs haven't done that in a few years. Hopefuly the young talent will get that back going. |

The great defenses in this league are the units that play as a team, and can cast the individual aside. They play fierce, smart, aggressive football. They don't do things for show. The show is the unit. The show is the zero on the scoreboard when time runs out. |
