Brett and Clark have been my Adopt-a-Chief for years......

It all starts at the top.

They obviously didn't try hard enough.

He was never going to be good for the Pats. He's a guy who thrives on being the number two or three option. He was best when AB was at his best.

Yeah, there are a small handful of y'all that need to softly suckle the underside of his gooch right about now.

What he has done with the defense is better than what he has done on offense.

And that may change quickly because Rashee Rice is looking a lot like a version of Sammy Watkins that doesn't die every other game.

This is his best work yet. The depth we have on defense is amazing

Didn't expect him to outdo the 2021 draft class so quickly but 2022 looks like it has the makings of a legitimate Grand Slam class.

I think there's a good argument to make that this could end up being the best Chiefs team we ever have (or ever will).

It's clearly the best defense we've had in the Mahomes era and very probably the entire Reid era. We're looking at a HoF caliber DT, a deep and excellent secondary and possibly the best LB corps in football.

And all 3 units have key FAs this offseason in Jones, Sneed and Gay. Maybe we retain one of them. And the odds of back-filling 1 for 1 are pretty long. And that's not even getting into someone like Danna being a free agent and he's been outstanding or Reid being a potential cap casualty.

Meanwhile on offense we have Mahomes at the peak of his ability, Kelce is probably going to continue a slow decline. Donovan Smith is giving us plus pass protection on a nothing contract. Smith and Humphrey are dirt cheap. I could see maybe a slight improvement offensively next season but I think that's probably off-set by a decline on defense.

This is a culmination of 3-4 years of REALLY good roster building. We might be at an apex here.

That's what's so damn disappointing about that Lions game but also maybe a little refreshing. I said before the season started (and Jones sitting became real) that NOTHING was off the table. That this team COULD go undefeated. And I still think they can run the slate from here forward.

This team is ****ing outstanding. And it's going to improve as the season progresses.

We may have a real buzzsaw on our hands here.

I'm actually kinda hoping the Jets cut Mecole and we could bring him back.

Who would you cut?

Richie James though I'm sure someone will be along to remind us of the cap implications.
