Heck Mahomes last season was the only QB in franchise history to even get the opportunity to try. Think about that. 60 years of Chiefs football there's never been a QB win 2 home playoff games in a season. In Marty's case they always lost the first game. Biggest shocker is in the Stram era we only hosted one home playoff game and lost. Heck the only QBs to win postseason games for the Chiefs are Alex Smith, Pat Mahomes, Joe Montana and Steve DeBerg. Kind of what I'm talking about here. Andy's ended a horrific playoff streak vs the Texans. And another horrific streak against the Colts. Slow. But there's progress in January with this regime.

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Surprise: Defense in 2nd half of the season. Looked like the same old story for a while. Disappointment: Robinson at WR. The dude regressed big time. And with all the injuries, he had plenty of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect improvement throughout the season but to finish the last 1/3 of the season as the best D in the league is a huge surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us knew how bad that dislocation on Hill was and we couldn't afford to lose any more wr's.......but yeah he probably would have fetched a 3rd after that big game.

Maybe...................I doubt it. A Third? Teams know Mahomes is the guy and Robinson is #3 or #4 receiver on most teams. Its not like he is a rookie. One game was great but teams unlikely to trade a third based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the Stram era players it's not like the old AFL had a bunch of playoff games. It was just east vs west division champs for the title game.

dhitter 1,424 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Well I guess since I started a thread at the beginning of the season about my one player picked that I think will step up and I chose Ward...do I say he was my biggest surprise since I picked him? I guess I expected better play but he has exceeded my expectations so... I would say Thornhill is my 2nd. Not that I didn't think he would be good but c,mon. The guy became an integral part of that defense and allowed the HB to do his thing. He will be sorely missed on Sunday. Disappointment?....gotta be the interior Oline. Especially LDT because of the contract. He is not giving the team it's money's worth by any stretch. Reiter is not very good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Spagnuolo. I mean really, the performance he's produced with bad linebackers and so-so corners really is remarkable. He's got them playing out of their minds. If they don't tail off at all in the playoffs, that's a Super Bowl willing formula.

And breeland is healthy and he’s a b b+ fenton super solid when he comes in for a no name guy. And fuller played better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Tannehill is the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we can’t block well enough to throw deep we dump it off. It’s easy to be frustrated as a Chiefs fan. We have a great coach that is 27-3 in the division. We would have been in the SB last year if D Ford didn’t line up off sides. The year before (I think) DJ sacked the QB for a forced fumble and we win the game but they call forward progress on a QB in the pocket. I am just saying it ain’t easy to win the SB. Last year the 2 best teams didn’t even make it. Execution and luck play into it as much as play calling. what we need to do is block and sling the rock. That’s our strength. Prioritize upgrading interior line and I’ll bet our issues in the red zone and hence closing games go away. Andy’s not working with a full deck yet. Not a tough fix IMO For now he’s gotta realize his team’s limitations and not alter game plan with a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of corners playing in the NFL that can't handle that. Credit to Madison & Spags for getting the most out of those guys. jetlord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
