What’s our biggest challenge for a 3peat?
Maybe this post should wait until after the draft, but I thought I would do it now. I hope it’s not too long.

The Chiefs have improved. We won at our worst last year and definitely this year we will be better, but probably not by a significant amount. Our WR room will definitely be better with the addition of brown, irrespective of what happens with rice. And if Rice and the draft work out, it could be much better. The rest of our offence should be about the same. RB looks solid assuming Pacheco stays relatively healthy. We have adequate back up after we resign McKinnon [I don’t think we’ve done that yet] and from the draft late rounds. The O line should be about the same good enough level and could be slightly better. That’s Assuming Morris improves a bit, we resign Smith, Taylor continues to manage his penalties better, and we get somebody who sits and learns from the draft, rather than being able to trade up for a starter left tackle. If we could get a good left tackle starter from the draft our O line would improve substantially. At TE I think Smith will be a surprisingly good back up for Kelce and we may use double tight ends more.

Our defence should stay elite with the only problem being replacing a Sneed, but we have enough depth to do that, although I expect it will hurt us in games were opponents have two elite receivers like Miami, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. And Houston might fit in here too.

In terms of teams, we have to worry about the biggest question is who has a QB that can match Mahomes, if both of them have A games.

I think that’s only Buffalo and Cincinnati and maybe Houston.

I think we can discount Buffalo as the loss of Diggs will be insurmountable. Losing Poyer will also hurt. Also, they haven’t done much in free agency. And it doesn’t look like the team is very well run and or coached.

Cincinnati is my biggest fear. I think they are going to get bowers in the draft and that will more than make up for the loss of Boyd. They have a very easy schedule, especially compared to the other teams in their division, and that will somewhat offset the disadvantages of playing in their very tough division compared to ours. I know there are many Orlando Brown haters on this board, but I think he improved their O line last year, and adding Trent Brown this year should be another improvement. The big question is if they can keep Burrows healthy. If so, they have the offence and an improved defence [more experience at DB and signing stone, and Bell] that can challenge Kansas City TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAMES ARE A TOSSUP. AND I REALLY THINK LOSING SNEED WILL HURT US HERE.

Although Jackson, Purdy , and Hurst are not in the same elite tier QB class, those teams are also of some concern, although not really very much in my view except for San Francisco.

I think Philadelphia is dysfunctional and will continue to implode. I doubt that Adding Henry is going to improve Baltimore very much and I think Jackson now has a reliable record of not winning the big games.

San Francisco will probably meet us again in the Super Bowl in their last opportunity before they lose OT Williams to retirement and some of their other elite players to salary cap once they start paying Purdy. It looks like they will pretty much be the same team as last year, and if they hadn’t lost Greenlaw to that fluke injury they might well have beaten us. It should be an It should be another down to the wire Super Bowl. Again, our loss of Sneed could be important in this game given their multiple elite receivers.

The only other team to be concerned about is Houston if they and Stroud continue their meteoric rise. But I think that’s unlikely and also they won’t be facing a last place schedule this time around. Adding Diggs will be huge. If they had been able to sign Barkley instead of Mixon I would be more worried.

Anyway, that’s my two early view of the season ahead that I think will end up with a 3 peat.

With Sneed gone, I’d say he should definitely be included. Can’t even imagine the plans they have for that kid now.

Jones and Karlaftis are the only proven passrushers. Danna is serviceable.

Omenihu is probably our second best passrusher but at this time, we don't know how he's going to look when he returns.

That being said, I think Spags/Cullen will figure it out.
This is a strange worry. We were #2 in sacks in both 2022 and 2023. We didn’t really lose anyone except Omenihu, who will likely be back by midseason. He wasn’t even on the squad in 2022 when we had 55 sacks anyway.

Why would this worry you? Are you expecting a huge regression from someone in particular?

I'm not worried. I just think that's the biggest challenge for the team.

I also think they'll meet the challenge.

It's probably why we've won as much as we have. We've got it down to a science and the unyielding enforcement by the community is like something out of 1984.

Yup, he's probably going to have to get paid before his rookie contract is up too because he is just that good.
