FANATIC 852 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 My take: High scoring and coming from behind will allow Mahomes to learn, grow and prosper as Reid is forced to turn him loose. For me its all about 2019. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,694 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 agreed its all about 2019 but I'm not so sure about your hypotheses but I do agree that a bad defense may facilitate a change in defensive coordinator and some decent draft pick positions.

qnet 1,150 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I agree with OT. I also think Mahomes may throw a lot of picks. It's going to be some entertaining games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend of AC 269 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It’s stunning that some still cannot spell our QBs name correctly. It’s Patrick Mahomes. M-A-H-O-M-E-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Realistically it would take a monumental coaching job to get a team with a 22 year old QB AND an incomplete defense to the playoffs. But if we can keep Houston, Berry, Kelce, Hill and Mahomes healthy its certainly still possible. Either way we really can’t lose this year as long as Mahomes progresses as far as I’m concerned. With a first and two second round picks we can really potentially upgrade defense next offseason Earlier picks helps And if we can get to playoffs that probably means some younger guys emerged around the fore mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't ready to compete in the playoffs (seriously compete for a Super Bowl) but I still think this team can win 10 games and lose a playoff game. The bad thing is, I think a 6-10 season would be better for the team long term because of the increased draft position. 6-2 at home and play .500 ball on the road gets you to 10 wins, and I think this team will do that.

the Warparty 69 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Only thing a poor def is good for is fantasy football. I don't buy into "it's all about next year" Loosing is a habit, same for not doing your job! True we don't seem to have the horses for the SB this year, but looking ahead is something for armchair QBs, not the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I do think it is all about 2019, but the poor defense doesn’t help IMO. Can’t develop if your hurt. It would be nice if he could pick his time to go deep and not be forced to do it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marleydawg 60 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It’s veach’s Job to worry about 2019. The players and coaches should be worrying about this year, no matter who they have. How many people thought the eagles would win the SB at this time last year? Relax already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I am hoping the defense can show improvement once everyone is healthy. We have more issues right now with Ragland, Berry, Hitchens, Nelson....none of them major but we have yet to see the full #1s all playing together on defense. So truthfully, we don't know how good or bad this defense will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Very important here is that we may have the youngest skill position group in the NFL. And certainly the youngest group that has high level talent across the board. Mahomes 22, Hunt 23, Hill 24, Watkins 25, Kelce 28 This opens up a legit window as Mahomes develops for us to try and do the same with the defense at critical positions. We do not need to rush this thing like we have in other era's with 30 something year old QBs and questionable or older skill position veterans around him. We need a core group of playmakers on both sides of the ball to mature and grow together. Lock up those guys and have some in cheap rookie contracts while tactically resigning or signing veterans and not being afraid to trade or let descending players walk and get comp picks for them is key. On that note we have elite level talents in Berry and Houston who are veterans on this team and still not 30 that need to be evaluated closely year to year to see if they are hitting that point or can sustain high level play into at least their early 30s. Be smart and not emotional about players. If those guys can still play at a high level at 32 they need to be here because they are as good as it gets as their positions. If not Veach needs to recognize and fleece other teams. It's the Patriots way and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
