When teams do run all over us, we are far more likely to lose. It just doesn’t happen very often.

Patriots are better than the Ravens and I expect a tougher game

That had to be one of the best games by a QB in MNF history didn’t it?

Best part of the night might have been watching Mahomes count to 4 as he headed to the sideline after his fourth TD. But he wasn’t counting TDs but rather his NFL Top 100 ranking of 4th. This kid is truly becoming Jordanesque.

Baltimore Sun Secondary The Ravens got exposed every way imaginable. Long ball, short ball. They couldn’t tackle after the catch and shied away from some of the Chiefs running backs after long runs. Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters got beat several times, and he was as bad Monday night as he had been in training camp. The Ravens were beat physically but mentally as well — especially including star cornerback Marlon Humphrey and safety DeShon Elliott. Grade: F

And on top of the give away by Thompkins Andy clearly toned the offense way down in the second half or we likely score 50. Any thought that Jackson is in Mahomes league is laughable.

It’s almost like we can do anything we want on offense if the opponents can’t get to Mahomes without blitzing. And that’s gonna set a lot of different guys up.

My concern on defense is our LBs have looked bad and with Ward out or limited and Breeland suspended we’ve got two rookie corners who are gonna play a lot. Again dividends down the road. We missed Clark against LA. He’s crucial.

We saw it last year with Andy really working on short passing game in the middle of the season. We just didn’t look the same for stretches. But we got to the playoffs a more diverse team and the offense opened up a can of whoop ass.

I think Andy’s more focused on integrating CEH into the offense and especially the running game than having passing game firing on all cylinders right now. Building towards January.

The guy tested positive before he ever went by the way, he just didn’t have results back yet. System broke down somehow because they were supposed to require a negative test to enter a suite/box.

The Chiefs season ticket base was really built in the 90s and aged into their 50s during this decade. And someone in their 50s just isn’t as crazy as they were in their 20s. The end of the King Carl era and the Pioli era really cleared out a solid core of those long term fans which worked out great because the Mahomes era brought a noticeably younger more boisterous fan back. And Arrowhead has been fantastic the last two years. And is part of the reason we are World Champs today IMO. All that said, the technology and know how of how to maneuver around crowd noise on offense makes home field advantage today less than in the past anywhere.

The kid basically knocked Breeland Soeaks off the roster. Impressive. He apparently played hurt last year and it left his film not representing his full ability.

He said he was lining up in a Khalil Mack type role but they also have moved him onto the interior Dline on passing downs. Spags loves his pass rushers.

Steven St.John Retweeted James Palmer @JamesPalmerTV · 1h I’m told one name that continues to pop up with people inside the #Chiefs building is Tershawn Wharton. The undrafted free agent from Missouri Science and Tech seems almost a lock to make the the teams’ 53 man roster. Great local story. Wharton is an undersized athletic edge who had a ridiculous 50 1/2 tackles for loss and 30 sacks in his D2 career.

Win the Super Bowl and nothing ends matters. That said a big reason we did was because of clear defensive improvement evident in those stats. That’s not scheduling luck. But yes health is important to any team. And we got 63 of 64 regular season starts from our top two safeties and corners. And when Thornhill went down Fuller and Sorenson (and even in more limited role Fenton) came up huge.

Take your pick. I prefer DVOA (KC ranked 6th) because it figures in situational stats. A blowout win and your giving up garbage yards matters less. That said we went from giving up 273 YPG in 2018 (31st) to 221 in 2019. (8th). The single stat I find most important Yards per attempt we went from 6.4 in 2018 (20th) to 5.7 YPA 2019 (5th)

We need rookie contracts. The most crucial part of this team sustaining a true Super Bowl contender status beyond about 2022 are draft picks. If it’s gonna be harder to draft I’d suggest just the opposite and try and get more.

Today’s starting lineup minus one of the top 5 WRs in football...stay anywhere near healthy and we are flat lethal Nobody else is even close Patrick Mahomes Clyde Edwards-Helaire Travis Kelce Sammy Watkins Demarcus Robinson Mecole Hardman Eric Fisher Kelechi Osemele Austin Reiter Andrew Wylie Mitchell Schwartz

Looks like Earl Thomas and his big contract is causing major problems in Baltimore. Thank goodness Veach was smart enough to only make a one year offer and draft a future Pro Bowler Thornhill or we may actually have a problem. Difference between championship teams and January pretenders.

More magic from Spags. We had the cheapest corner group in the NFL last year and jumped from 31st to 8th in pass defense. Healthy safeties are the key. Thornhill back at practice this week is gigantic although it will probably take him some time to get back to his near Pro Bowl level rookie season.

Watkins was back at practice today. As last year proved, minus major long term injuries that’s not a position I’m remotely worried about. Tackle injuries or Kelce is what would really hurt this offense other than PM15. 4-4 last year with Fisher out. 11-0 with him. Just zero proven depth behind two good starters and a very mediocre at best interior line.

Our run defense was so much better with Pennel so hopefully this is only a few games. But Saunders does have a lot of potential and showed up well as a rookie. My concern is Spags said they just aren’t getting enough reps right now vs the run because we pass so much even in practice.

The way Arrowhead holds sound even 17k will at least provide an environment without the need for fake noise. I wouldn’t put it past the Chiefs to try and sneak 20k in there either.
