AFCWEST

Love reading their misery. Very entertaining.

Nice to be so wrong. Chiefs d is the real deal. What an effort!

Maybe double RENFRO?

With Fenton and Sneed likely out I see a very close game. Chiefs D is a little over rated lately based on the competition. Maybe Fenton plays on a pitch count but Reid usually gives guys extra time and Chargers are next in 5 days. Chiefs will need 38+ 38-35 Chiefs win.

We shall see. I understand if he does not. Still he might.

Of course teams can change the play at the line when they see different players in. So using a guy for a specific role is not a perfect science.

According to McDowell, Sneed is on his way home to his hometown of Minden, Louisiana on a jet provided by Patrick Mahomes.

Maybe he still plays to honor his brother. LA is close to KC. He can make a quick trip. HIs KC brothers also need him.

Sneed: Could miss both games? Sure hope not.

Sam McDowell @SamMcDowell11 The Sneed family history is murder convictions, drug arrests and generational imprisonment. L’Jarius is the man chosen to break a curse. It’s a weight. “The childhood trauma I went through is messing with my head.” The story behind a rising Chiefs star: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article255887666.html

Snead? Some sad news to share: TQ Harrison, the oldest brother of Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, was killed last night in their hometown of Minden, Louisiana. Sneed, in this story he shared last month, credited Harrison with raising him until he was 6 years old.

IF IF IF. Every NFL Team can say IF. 12 in a row for KC. Beating KC is a HUGE IF. Every team would be much better with an Elite QB like Rogers. Den is playing a soft schedule. They will end up losing 3 or 4 of the last 5.

Denver? Mile High. Compete with Mahomes and Herbert at 39 years old vs NFC North? You may be correct. Would be fun if Rogers were in the AFC West.

Chiefs 12 in a row. Donkeys 6 years+ as losers. Elway was a disaster. By the time they get a QB the defense will be in decline. I hope they switch to Lock. He is a Lock to set the turnover record. Lock looks scared. Yes Donkeys please give Lock a few more seasons. Rogers will stay in GB. That team is too good to leave. That division is awful. Does Rogers really want to be in the Chiefs division?

LOCK also SUCKS. Should have fired Elway.

An above average game by Mahomes would have made this a blowout.

HB is at that age of potential decline and previous serious injuries. Cant pay everyone. Yes KC will likely sign HB.

Probably correct. I would keep Ward at half the price HB will ask. Younger & proven.

They are not running it well. I think they go all in passing and going downfield. Chiefs pressure will be the key.

DARREN WALLERTE, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Darren Waller (knee, back) is out for Week 14 against the Chiefs.

“Really, the only injury is [cornerback] Chris Lammons,” said Reid in his opening statement. “He’ll be listed as out. Everybody else will be ready to roll.” This was not unexpected. On Wednesday, the Chiefs protected practice-squad cornerback Josh Jackson, thereby preventing him from being signed to another team’s active roster. This was a pretty good indicator that two days ago, the team didn’t expect Lammons — a core special-teams player — would be ready to play for the game. Pressed for clarification on his statement that “everybody else will be ready to roll,” Reid said that injured right tackle Lucas Niang (ribs) and cornerback Rashad Fenton (knee) both worked during Friday’s practice — but didn’t go much beyond that. “They both worked,” noted Reid. “Those are day-to-day things, so I haven’t checked. They worked today, so that was a plus. We’ll just see how that situates itself here when I get with [head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder] and [general manager Brett Veach] and we’ll just see where we’re at.” Both players have been limited in this week’s practices. Based on Reid’s remarks, there’s a good chance they’ll be listed as questionable on the final report. We’ll have to see if either is listed as a full practice participant — which would be a good indicator regarding their status for Sunday.

Why Reid has Success per J Charles Article. This does relate to todays offense going forward. Charles joined me on (Almost) Entirely Sports to talk about his career, life since football, and the ups and downs of his time in Kansas City. He provided some fantastic insight on all of those recent eras of Chiefs football, particularly in regards to what happened when Reid came to KC, following a difficult era for the franchise."We had some bumpy roads," Charles began with a laugh. "But Coach Reid, basically, he's a [player's coach]. He loves his players, he talks to his players, he communicates with his players, he's honest with his players. That's why so many people like him a lot."Charles explained how Reid's relationship with his players even extended into game-planning sessions, recounting a time that Reid involved him in a way no other coach had before."One day, Coach Reid called me into the office," Charles said, before beginning to paraphrase Reid. "'Hey, I got these five plays right here on the board right here, we're thinking about giving you the ball right here.' I never had no coach approach me like this. 'Hey, come talk to me in the office, I got these plays drawn up just for you.' And I'm like, I'm hyped up! So stuff like that, Coach Reid, he does it his way and he knows his way is successful."Pulling examples from the current iteration of the Chiefs, Charles explained how Reid delegates leadership through the locker room. Leaning on player-leaders like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Tyrann Mathieu and others who have the respect of the rest of the roster, Charles said Reid allows the team to communicate through their top peers to keep the locker room where it needs to be."He goes to those core guys that people know that this is their team, and the other guys, [...] he lets them go talk to them," Charles said. "And if they have any issues, those ten guys come to Coach Reid and we all throw out, 'What's the deal going on in locker room?' And he listens. And then he'll make some adjustments, and that's how good he is, instead of a coach who's just rebelling against his players."The phrase "instead of a coach who's just rebelling against his players" caught my ear as Charles harkened back to the less-good-ol'-days, where the team struggled despite his best efforts from 2008 through 2012. Charles maintains that the Chiefs' former leaders were all good coaches, but — for one reason or another — they couldn't find success in Kansas City."My first year, it was Coach Herman," Charles began. "He was a good coach — good coach! — but I feel like all the pieces he put together as a coaching staff, it just wasn't there.You got certain coaches [who] come in and think they're the man and think they're this and that, and that didn't work. Next, we had [Haley]. Coach Haley [was] a good coach, but he's so arrogant as a coach, where [he was] talking to his players crazy. It's his way, he's not taking your opinions, you know what I'm saying? Basically, so, players are not feeling him. That's how it's not working."Charles then recounted the short tenure of Crennel in the last year-and-change before Reid's regime."I felt bad for Coach Romeo," Charles said. "Romeo came in, and he's so friendly. He was so nice, but he didn't have that chance to get that another year. And then that's when coach Andy Reid came. And it was just like, 'dang man, where have you been all my career?'"With Reid, Charles totaled 3,899 yards from scrimmage in just 38 games, holding an even 5.0 yards per carry and 8.8 yards per reception, catching almost as many passes (133) in 38 games with Reid as he did in 65 games (152 receptions) before Reid got to town.Charles explained how Reid was the coach who truly understood and utilized his ability to catch the ball and maximized his talents in a new way. But perhaps even more unique to Reid and his staff, Charles explained how Reid had a philosophy for his players that he hadn't encountered before: "Let them be them.""All these other coaches were like, 'we're gonna put you in this mold. I'll mold you like I want you,' instead of Coach Reid, he'd let you do your own identity," Charles said. "That's you. Be your own person. I never heard nobody say that when they came to the Chiefs. He's like, 'be yourself.' I'm like, 'what? Did you say I can be myself now? All these others, I couldn't be myself!' It felt good, it was a release of freedom, basically. Just act like your character, like you're supposed to be. This is your character, and don't do nothing else. Be yourself."Charles joined (Almost) Entirely Sports in partnership with Main Event, a family-entertainment center with 45 locations across 17 states, featuring activities like bowling, laser tag, virtual reality, games and much more.
