We've definitely got some tough games to play in but we did this year as well and still ended up okay.

As long as shooting themselves in the foot isn't a huge issue moving forward.

Need to see what FA and the draft hold first. This team gets another legit receiver and some pass rushers then we’ll have no problem

The only games that you can virtually guarantee be easy next season is Jacksonville and possibly Houston.

All the other teams on schedule can easily beat KC on any given Sunday

It's definitely going to be harder.

I think this roster needs an infusion of DOGS. Honey vadger seemed like he went soft, the dline didnt seem to have the fire, and the offense just feels like its waiting for mahomes to pull off a miracle a lot of the time. I think were in a good posistion going forward. I think in FA we make a weapon splash with a wr, i think the draft will go defense early and often.

After 2018 we hosted three AFC Championships, went to two and won one Super Bowl. I’d say there is zero chance we are that successful in the next three seasons. I think we look back at this season in two years and really regret not cashing in.

Andy needs to stop trying to be nice and not run the score. Put the foot and gas and keep it there.

You mean like...pass it 75% of the time?

These narratives are ridiculous.

There's a lot to critique about the Bengals game, but Andy taking his foot off the gas was not one of them.

If anything, we should've run the ball and eaten clock, which would be 'taking your foot off the gas'.

But by all means, keep spouting the same stuff regardless of whether or not it matches reality.

Gaining 5-6 yards a clip isn't exactly taking your foot off the gas either.

In that offseason, we had to scrap a terrible defense, including dismantling "sack nation" which somehow led the league in sacks but couldn't stop anyone. We had to get a new coordinator, new coaches, find someone to take Dee Ford, and Houston, and cut Berry, and get basically a whole new defense in place.

After we cut Clark and Hitchens, pay one of the younger FA stud safeties coming on the market instead of an aging Mathieu, extend Hill, etc.-we should be in decent shape to grab a couple of consistent, dependable vets to pair with some draftees and youngsters on the D-line.

We need some explosiveness at RB and WR2, could use some competition at RT.

Otherwise the offense is pretty well set.

We're in good shape.

In 2018, there were so many unknown unknowns. This team knows a lot more now than it did then.

We're going to be fine. We'll be right back in the hunt in 2022!

I completely agree with ALL of it. You're right in that it's not nearly as daunting of a task as it was in 2018. After cuts and restructures, the $$ will be there to add the pieces.

IMO, the explosive RB is a VERY important piece for a few reasons. I've heard people argue that our RB JAGS were fine in the AFCCG because of their YPC average, and I've heard the argument that Reid won't run even if we do have a stud RB. Well an explosive RB fixes both. Just to be able to have legit threat at RB capable to take it to the house on any given play not only changes how defenses play the Chiefs, but it also makes the MOST of limited opportunities in the running game. If we had a Kareem Hunt type, we RUN it more than ONCE from the 6 yard line at the end of the game. Anyone want to bet against him scoring? And whose to say that when our JAGS manage to rip off their occasional 10+ yard run, that an explosive RB wouldn't take it to the house. Our OL was blasting some pretty big holes in defenses all year, and also in Cinn during the AFCCG. There is no doubt in my mind, that an explosive RB would have taken a couple to the house.

I hope so.

Big part of that run included Childress and Nagy. So much they got snatched up by Chicago. I wouldn't mind seeing Nagy come back.

Now Kafka might be gone too?

Nagy was a big part of the run in 2019?

If they resign Hitchens, Clark, or Sorenson - at all. I'm going to fight some one.

I think Niemann is fine since he's so cheap but they'll still play him a bunch so yeah - **** him too.

How many playoff games have we won without Daniel Sorensen?
