I heard he had a bad camp

I'll agree wit the last sentence that when necessary we should be able to be 3 yrds and a cloud of dust. All the motion is a way to see who's covering who. Vince Lombardi football dont cut it anymore. RPO's work as do Jet sweeps with Tyreek just maybe not use them as much. . Just a hunch here but I wonder if much of this stuff is not an effort by Andy to make the game fun for MVPat? I'm not saying I agree with many of those gadget plays but Jet Sweeps, RPO's and motion are not Gadgets

Released!

that shows that this team is desperate and willing to make a deal with the Devil.. reminds me of the Bam Morris signing

you certainly have shown your not very perceptive.as the oldest and grumpiest dont mind them at all

I wouldn't be mad if Golden Tate made an appearance. Can he tackle tho?

yup

I think his window slammed shut last year and as had been speculated before either he is just a crappy interview or the Pederson/Nagy experience has ruined any chance EB had...maybe a combination of both but yea I agree this maybe the year that could really be helpful draft wise

Brain Science?

every great team needs a step back season where they get better draft picks and reload. this might be one of those years. to bad we are missing 2 drft picks this next year

well he was touted as the 2nd coming of Brett Favre so for every several OMG that was awesome pass's you'll get one of those. If you cant handle it might as well watch someone else. It comes with the territory. I do agree that it would be nice to have someone sit Patrick down and tell him to cool his tits but thoroughbreds run.. thats what they do.

yup just heard that myself..man o man

only 1/2 ..slacker

😅fist half had 3 turnovers in 3 possessions.. hows that? D looks decent

they are trying to lose this game

the 6 pak may violate his Substance abuse issues and if he wants a bag of Doritos that means he figures he'll have the munchies sooner than later

we need defense not offense

oops my bad.. I picked same score just the other way around

seems we are on the same page

except at qb Bolts are better and their QB is thereal deal . Bolts 42 Chiefs 27

yea but karma is a bitch..hope tyreek pays notice that when you play stupid games .......

Even with Frank Clark, Chris Jones, and Tyrann Mathieu, there are too many issues arising at other spots on the defense that have caused the Chiefs’ defense to struggle early this season. That’s why through two weeks the unit is the worst rush defense in the NFL in several categories, along with being tied for fifth-worst in the league in sacks (3) and last in pressures (10), per Pro Football Reference. That’s why it would make plenty of sense for the Chiefs to bring in some veteran talent at this point in this season to help solve several issues on defense. One name brought up, for this reason, is Detroit Lions linebacker, Jamie Collins. ALL the latest Chiefs news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Chiefs newsletter here! Collins on Trade Block Collins was held out of practice Wednesday and has been the subject of trade discussions between Detroit and other teams, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The team is fielding calls and is exploring a trade for the veteran linebacker. This brings about an important question given the circumstances for the Chiefs through two weeks of the regular season: would Jamie Collins makes sense for the defending AFC champions? Let’s take a look at what we know regarding both potential trade parties. Does Trade Make Sense for Chiefs? The Lions are in rebuild mode given the fact that they are continuing to try and get younger on both sides of the football and have major holes at some of the most important positions on the team, like quarterback, wide receiver, several spots along the offensive line and in the secondary, per PFF’s grading. So, shipping away Collins, 31, makes sense for a team that has five draft picks in 2022 and could use some more to expedite their rebuild. Because Collins is potentially being traded in-season, any team that was to acquire him would only owe the veteran $3.378 million for the rest of the season, as mentioned by ESPN’s Field Yates on Twitter. He also notes that using a bit of salary cap manipulation Detroit could drop Collins’ base salary by paying him a signing bonus, making him an even more intriguing trade target. Collins excels as a run defender and pass rusher, earning PFF grades of 79.8 and 82.3 respectively in those categories through two weeks of the 2021 regular season. And, as mentioned earlier, those are two areas the Chiefs need a lot of help in. Tack on the fact that Kansas City currently has $9.156 million in available cap space, per the NFLPA’s public salary cap report — that leaves plenty of financial room for the Chiefs to bring Collins aboard even if his base salary wasn’t adjusted prior to him being traded. Kansas City also has seven draft picks in 2022 to utilize in a trade (first rounder, second rounder, third rounder, fourth rounder, sixth rounder, two seventh rounders), via Pro Football Network. As the Chiefs Wire’s Charles Goldman pointed out, Kansas City defensive line coach Brendan Daly was a defensive assistant coach in New England when Collins was a Patriot, which could draw Kansas City to have a bit more interest in the veteran thanks to the additional intel on him. The last thing to figure out is how to fit Collins on the active roster. The most obvious position they can demote a body to the practice squad from is tight end. Travis Kelce, Blake Bell, Jody Fortson, and Noah Gray have been on the active roster through the first two weeks of the regular season. But there isn’t necessarily a need to have all of them on the active roster thanks to practice squad rules, which include the ability to protect players from being poached by other teams. Demoting one of them — likely Fortson — would create a spot on the 53-man squad for Collins. So to bring it back around — trading for Collins would make sense for the Chiefs. Given Kansas City’s need for a stout run defender and another body that can pressure the quarterback consistently, Collins fits the mold of a cheap, veteran playmaker that can help the reigning AFC champions as they attempt to make their third straight Super Bowl appearance. Luckily, the linebacker room will be welcoming back Willie Gay (toe) from injured reserve soon, which will also help some of their defensive woes. But bringing in Collins can only help solidify a defense that has looked helpless at the start of the regular season.

@arthur75lets try to keep this on subject without throwing in pandemic opinions

I agree altho I understand the temptation of trading a 30 sumthing pick away for a vet if you dont see good value on the board and want to strike while you believe it's go time. I think maybe Veach needs to settle down and take whats available in the first couple of rounds. Even perennial Playoff teams seem to need a so so year here and there to re arm using high teen lower 20 draft picks . Those years suck no doubt and at my age dont want to have to endure a year of MEH but it maybe a necessary evil

Chiefs HC Andy Reid addresses defensive struggles after loss to Ravens Their one-point loss on Sunday at the hands of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens has the Kansas City Chiefs doing some introspection, especially about their defense. Officially the worst team in red zone defense, and arguably the worst tackling team in the league through two weeks, Kansas City has hit a tough patch of defensive play early in the season. Without a doubt, this is not where the team thought they’d be after their sterling preseason performances. Back-to-back Super Bowl appearances had the Chiefs looking forward to being one of a handful of teams to compete for three straight championships, but without marked improvement on defense, they’ll be lucky to get out of the first rounds of the playoffs. Andy Reid is acutely aware of how bad the loss in Baltimore looked, assuring reporters that he and his staff have a handle on the situation in his press conference on Monday. Speaking of the team’s struggles defending inside the 20-yard line, Reid said defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has spent countless hours trying to find solutions, and that answers were likely to come when the defense does the basic things right consistently. “Yeah, so listen. Spags [Steve Spagnuolo] spent a lot of time in the offseason with that. We worked it a ton in camp, and we haven’t had the results here,” Reid explained, “We’ll keep pounding that out until we get it right. It’s one of those things, everything gets magnified when you’re in the red zone, whether it’s good or bad. “Even if you’re not tackling in the field, and it doesn’t happen in the red zone, you’re not giving up blocks up the field, then it’s going to get magnified in the red zone. Everything’s a little bit faster and all your strengths and weaknesses get magnified. So, you’ve got to make sure that you kind of get these fundamentals down and take care of it.” Asked how hard it is to fix the tackling issues mid-season, Reid told reporters that he thinks there is some kind of mental block holding Chiefs defenders back. “I thought we got better with it the second half,” He said of the defense’s inability to tackle. “Some of that’s a mindset, not being so cautious, rallying to the ball, narrowing space for runners, again when you’re being blocked, shedding and then wrapping up. Those are all important things, but some of it’s a mindset that you have to take care of, so that’s where we go with it” The worst offender of the defense’s tackling issues is veteran safety Dan Sorenson, who leads the league in missed tackles two games into the season. Reid explained the decision to keep Sorenson on the field instead of third-year safety Juan Thornhill, saying they both have a similar skillset but that Sorenson had a better training camp. “Juan (Thornhill) and Dan (Sorensen), they do certain things the same and a couple things different,” Reid said, “It all kind of equals out and Dan really had the better camp and so on. Maybe a little bit more consistency there, but we love Juan and where he’s getting himself back to where he was his rookie year. I don’t want to take anything way from the effort that he’s put forward to do that. They all get a chance to play. I think we’ll take it step by step here and can’t have enough of those guys that can play.” Thornhill only played a handful of snaps against the Ravens, but he could see an increased workload given Sorenson’s struggles. While there aren’t any magic-wand solutions on the horizon for Kansas City, Reid seemed confident in the team’s ability to get back to playing winning football. With a Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in store for their second game at home, the Chiefs are sure to feel they have something to prove after their embarrassing loss in Baltimore.
