KC was extremely lucky to win that game. 3-0 in turnovers and those were key turnovers. That pass to Hill was really lucky the defender did not make a simple adjustment. Im sure Cleve fans are pissed off. Hey a wins a win but KC played poorly. I did not see much to get excited about. It was ugly.

Caught Cleve at the right time. They have 7 new guys on D. Likely to also get much better later in the season.

Our O line too. 5 new starters. Regardless of NFL experience, they need to gel

While I respect your opinion, I will humbly disagree.  To say we are lucky to win this game seems a bit harsh to me.  Have we forgotten how many years it took for the Chiefs to have the kind of player like Mahomes that so many other teams seem to have had over the years?  The amount of times I saw Peyton or Brady lead game winning drives after their teams seemingly didn’t deserve a win…I’ll take it.  Mahomes had a great interview after the game.  Gave credit where credit was due and knows improvement is needed.  He’s a leader and we are lucky to have him, you agree no doubt.

Long way to go. 
chargers are going to be a handful.

the raiders offense 

Broncos will be better.

we need our defense to play well this year.

they were clutch at the end 

What I was thinking when I posted that about first seed what that Cleveland and the Chiefs will no doubt meet in the playoffs, and if they are both competing for first seed at that time, the Chiefs would get it because we ended up on top today.

Anyone else think CEH missed a bunch of holes today?

Yes d man. He did miss holes. I recall one run where he should have bounced out side and it was wide open. That why I said I wanted to see McKinnon. 
CEH is a good back but would love to see McKinnon and his speed when he hits holes. 
Sure do miss hunt. Love how that guys runs.

The best teams win ugly games like that.  I was amazed that we could play a defensive line like the Browns with a brand new O-line containing three rookies and do as well as they did.  We were beaten on the lines but not by that much.  It takes awhile for an O-line to gel, but I have no doubt they will.  It might take several more games, but they will.  They are extremely well coached.

Playoffs?  You kiddin' me?  Don't talk to me about playoffs.

 

Less than 6% into the season and you want to talk about playoffs.  🙂

Winning against a key conference rival in the first game is just as important in Game 1 as it would be late in the seaon.  That is my point.  I could end up to be a key thing, no matter how much season is left.

[Fmbl2187 2,279]

Remember, it is quite possible that KC and Cleveland could end up in the AFC championship game.  The game today could determine if the Chiefs get to play at home or in Cleveland. Today's result means that it would be played in KC.

I thought the Browns had more fire and determination.  They came out firing and sure played a hell of a game.  I thought they’d win this game because of all the build up prior to this weekend.  I’m glad I have Mahomes on my side…

I’d  like to see Okafor released and taco brought back. Okafor doesn’t add much as a pass rusher

Great game, first game of the season, got improvements to make just like everyone else, but we came up with the win. Hopefully we have all our starters next weekend and shore up the D.

[Chiefmanzada 466]

Was at the game. Arrowhead was deafening. 

The punter felt the nerves and dropped that ball thanks to the fans. 

[Chiefmanzada 466]

The Big 3 

Mahomes Hill Kelce. None like it the league has ever seen

Missing Gay and Clark was a big deal, especially against a team with two top RBs.  But HB made the big difference in my opinion.  He gets the DBs in position as well as covering well.  Maybe it would have made a TD difference, maybe not.  We'll see next week. 

I thought Bolton played well. He wraps up very well but I agree, Gay, Clark & HB will make a difference.

There are no simple adjustments on Hill. Just mass confusion and chasing.

Bolton balled out. Tackles for losses and good coverage on the RBs

Bolton made some very good plays, but also played like a rookie at times.  He'll learn.  Was anyone more worthless than Neiman?  He's not even close to covering anyone as far as I could tell.  Also, I've been on the "replace Ward" for over a year.  Today reinforced that feeling.

Reminder: We are lucky AF to have Mahomes.

Agree.  Every game counts the same and winning against contenders is more important.  It just seemed a little early to talk playoff implications just after squeaking by in the opening game.  I usually wait until about game three before doing it.  🙂
