No. That was the name of a song about statutory rape.

Truly unbelievable.

It may be that the coaches are just setting up other teams with tendencies that will be switched up on them at the right moments. I think the Chiefs coaches are playing a season-long chess match. Reid does that. There is more to those decisions than meets the eye. Make the other guys miscalculate 5% more often. Confusion and deception on both offense and defense is kind of their style. I know! They should have flipped it to an eligible O lineman. Reid is going to do that sometime this year, we know that. In some game this year, maybe two games, Mahomes will shift over, Humphrey will snap it to Kelce, and Kelce will toss it to Mahomes in the end zone, like we saw a couple of times last year.

That's what I say.

No conclusion can be drawn from this. Looking ahead, though, if both teams remain the same as now in their late season matchup and their injuries equal, the Chargers will have a 3 point home advantage and another 3 points for the revenge motive. But we have more new young guys, and they will all have nearly a seaon more under their belts...and they will gel by mid to late season. To me, that will easily wipe out that 6 points. We will have McDuffie covering Williams instead of Fenton. If we have equal chances of injuries to major players as the Chargers. I pick the Chiefs in that late season game.

Like my Dad always told me, "If the dog hadn't stopped to piss, he'd have caught the rabbit."

Ahhhhh!

Same reason as for all big businesses....$$

Genes don't determine whether you can make good decisions and have good clock management. That's learned, not inherited. Hell, Reid is the greatest, but how many years has it taken him to be even decent at clock management? And obviously Reid's own son has no sense at all.

My favorite part is that the players are probably all pissed, and dissent against the coach is likely at a high level (should be). Chemistry is already a bad brew (contrast with Chiefs.) I think players' lack of confidence in a coach puts any team at a huge disadvantage. Maybe they should hire Romeo Crennel. Wilson has to be really pissed. That's not good, either. They seem adrift, even after one game.

I don't get it.

Look at it this way: The quality may be not be so great, but you can get internet radio, search on Chiefs Radio and listen to that while watching the lower quality video with the TV sound off. As an alternative, move to the KC area. The BBQ is better. Also fewer forest fires.

I think that is absolutely true. During those difficult stretches for Mahomes, you could see it. You could see Mahomes looking for him fruitlessly while other guys were clearly open. Some sportswriters started calling him a "one-trick-pony." He was always touted as a guy who could read the whole field and run through his progressions very quickly, but he got lazy with Hill and Kelce always there. He quit doing that and started trying to force it to his favorite targets, often throwing it in the dirt in front of them or over Hill's head. I trust Mahomes to recognize that and work like hell at regaining that whole field vision and mindset. He is talking like it in interviews. I think everyone recognizes that trading Hill for all those choices may have been the smartest thing in the world.

I was talking about the season. I agree, he will likely be game day inactive a lot. But he may emerge as a solid backup at some point. ("may") He actually might be a starter some day for some team.

It'll be "Can Do" Kaindoh who makes it happen. I'm going out on a limb here. (Of course I have 5 of them)

I agree with Calichief. Depending on injuries, we will win between 7 and 13 games. Taking the median, that makes a win total somewhere around 10 games. That is enough to get in the tournament, probably as a wild card.

I have no idea. Pluses - Overall roster strength, Mahomes, Reid and coaching staff, organizational strength, fans (oh! almost forgot: Harrison Butker will add a full game to our projected win total) Minuses - Player turnover very high, rookies are rookies and need to learn and to gel, strength of schedule is phenomenally hard, AFC West extremely tough Unknowns - As always, injuries to key players Conclusion: I guess we'll see

These are the kinds of guys that teams give up on and then thrive in a new system and blossom. We kept him because of athleticism, talent, and smarts, but mostly because it was, and remains, an iffy position for us. I also think he was kept because he was showing some real effectiveness the second half of the pre-season. Like I posted before, he started from scratch and had no real exposure at the collegiate level. Reid won't tolerate guys who are not hard workers. I think this guy will help us as a rotational player and could actually reach starter quality in another year. Or...we could trade him or just let him blossom somewhere else and watch him terrorize QB's. Whatever happens, the coaching staff has some level of belief in him, and they know a lot more than any of us do. So, I defer to them, especially when he was awarded a roster spot.

Crow is pretty tasty is you cook it in the right sauce.

I know you are joking. An opinion is an opinion. In my "opinion," no one knows how he is developing except for the coaches, so no one is in a position to write him off as a bust. As others have pointed out, he was a developmental project. The only real facts known are that he is big, tall, and extremely athletic. He hasn't played in a big college program to be ready play at a high level. The coaching staff is making real progress on him at one of the most difficult positions to play, and I trust them to draw the right conclusions. It is waaaay too early to toss him into the trash bin. In the preseason, he earned his way onto the roster. So, let's see. They think he is worth a roster spot. That is saying something. It is possible that we may see a Chiefs Kingdom nickname of "Can Do."

Good PS signings, all of them (as if I am some sort of expert). I even think Shelton will be fun for our guys to practice against. He'll save the organization some money on tackling dummies.

This was exactly predicted in the podcast, "Locked On Chiefs" from the other day, regarding cutting Shelton, keeping Kinnard for development (and because he is a draftee with good potential). They predicted that Reiter would be cut, but also, if not signed in 24 hours, would likely pick him back up. Just a calculated risk. They predicted Kaindoh on the roster because he came on strong late in camp and the preseason and even did well on some snaps near the end of last season. Shelton is just too one-dimensional (running game) and not much else. It is a weighty issue, for sure.

I still think their realistic super bowl hopes are pointed at 2023. I hope someone ridicules me in February for posting this now.

Fat guy got cut. The roster is apparently limited to a certain total weight.

Yeah. It looks like Veach's biggest skill is turning around one entire position group in a single offseason. And he does that while having to pick at the bottom of each round. Pretty impressive.
