Mentioned this in the game thread. Araiza has been a mixed bag of goddamn brilliant and sometimes a little messy. He flubbed his first punt. And I still think he needs better touch on his short punts. His final catch and punt was a game saver and one of his better punts, so I almost wonder if he’s overthinking some of these punts. Which seems weird to say, since it’s just punting.

Pretty stark where our offensive production is coming from....that being said Juju is trying to play catch up, and Worthy is learning the system. But noticeable absences are Watson and Kelce with any significant production.

Completely off topic but …I just saw the JJSS peel back block on Burfict as paybay for the AB hit again and it still makes me happy to see JJSS stick up for his teammates. Wish there was audio of what he said to Burfict after the hit….probably “and stay down bitch “

Couple seasons ago MIN (iirc, could've been another NFC team) had a streak where they won some absurd number of 1-score games in a row. I think they even got into the playoffs, and the talking heads were all talking about that record going into their first (and only) playoff game. At some point they brought up a handful of previous teams that had similar type 1-score W streaks. In every case, all of those teams went on a nearly equally long losing streak. Their point was that while it's great to win a bunch of tight games in a row, if a team isn't putting away the teams they should dominate during such a streak, it points to issues that eventually boil over later, and the result is usually a losing streak. Not that I'm terribly worried in Week 3. But it does bear watching. And I'm sure Andy is paying attention. |

It’s all a toss-up with this KC team, whether they play the worst teams in the league or the best teams in the league. The games will be close, and the Chiefs will probably squeak out a victory more often than not. That’s their history. They’ve won 87.5% of their Playoff games the last 5 years. Many of the wins were ugly in various ways. But you take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day of the week. |

I think that the team has focus lapses, especially against non elite competition. I think it's just being human and playing far more huge games than anyone else for the last six seasons. They always know when they need to turn it on. But it would be nearly impossible to be 100%on 20 games a year for half a decade.
