FANATIC 852 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Wow 2-0 on the road. Yes the defense looks lost..... Yet Pitts and SD are both very good offenses with Hall of Fame Qbs. They have both better D than KC yet KC lit them up. Mahomes looks like a very calm experienced QB. KC can run or throw it. I like that Reid is taking what they opposing D is giving them and not forcing the run if its not there. Seems to be willing to keep pushing it vs protecting a lead. Trusting Mahomes is the key and the kid has not turned it over yet. Nice to see a QB that is not a human sack waiting to happen. Oline looks better as a result of Mahomes keeping his eyes downfield. Love the vertical throws vs too many screens and dink dunk. How about that red zone offense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAT on punts so they cant just kick it away from HIll is a luxury. Being a Chiefs fan just became a lot more fun win or lose. KC currently in control of the AFC. KC can beat anyone. Every team will be extremely stressed game planning against this offense and special teams. Looks like some exciting football for the next 10-15 years.

Marleydawg 60 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Agreed. D will improve over the course of the season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just too many options and we haven't seen the best of Hunt yet. At the same time, I fear that as a rookie, Mahomes is likely to have a down game or two. It's concerning that the national media is starting to get on the bandwagon and the kid is still very young. Right now, it's just fun to enjoy the ride as long as it lasts and look for some very exciting football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dksww 484 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 we face a lot worse offenses over the next 3 weeks so I'm willing to give the defense a chance to improve. facing 2 HOF QBs on the road to start the year is tough on any defense. being 2-0 already is very impressive.

Now grant it, he is young and it can be overwhelming but he has more experience and poise than Brady had when he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how everyone in the country that wasn't an Indy fan felt about the Colts from Manning's second year on? Well that is how everyone except us is going to feel about the Chiefs. Mahomes is the real freaking deal. If he A) doesn't have injury shorten his career, and B. Wins a Super Bowl, he will eclipse George Brett status as legend in KC. Kid is so talented, and everyone knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Never really considered Chargers a top defense but the Steelers always are as they have a tough mentality. This was a big win for the offense and it probably shows what we can do in the postseason. Teams can no longer cover 20 yards and be done with it, they have to look out for the vertical game every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On points 25 and 28 respectively, but both have played the Chiefs who are #6 in yards and #1 in points. Last year the Chargers were #15 in yards and Steelers were #5. In points,Chargers were #3 and Steelers were #7. On a side note. KC D was #5 in yards and #15 in points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think both teams, when healthy, are good-to-great offenses with average-to-good defenses. Both teams were obviously a bit dinged on both sides (Bosa, Ben, Shazier, and Bell for non-injury reasons). And we won road shootouts with both.

soonerborn77 276 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hopefully the excitement of Mahomes brings the Arrowhead experience and home field advantage back. If we're honest with ourselves, that was more of a myth then reality since the 90's but would be great to get that back to help our defense. With Mahomes, our D doesn't have to be a rock, they can be bend don't break but get a drive killing sack every now and then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,714 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 What's the difference between Mahomes and Peyton Manning? They were professional quarterbacks before they came to the NFL. Both had professional athlete fathers as mentors and both knew exactly what they were getting in to. The best things about Pat Mahomes is not his arm and his surrounding cast. The best things about Pat Mahomes is is intelligence and character. Do not expect a let down...expect him to get better. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many throws did Smith throw against the Steelers that traveled more than ten yds. downfield? Mahomes completed 12 that long or longer if my count is correct. No defense can cover Kelce, Watkins, Hill, with Conley or Robinson thrown in the mix and Hunt and Ware as receiving threats. It will take a solid O-line and timely run plays by the RBs to keep defenses honest, but I'll bet there will be some late nights for upcoming opposing D. Coordinators. No more eight in the box and take the chance on an occasional deep throw. Either they have to figure a way to get quicker pressure or just hope Mahomes is a little off when they play.

West 6,714 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That is the key Jet, Mahomes knows the offense - he makes quick reads - and the ball gets out very fast. If pressure comes, he instructively rolls away from it and still makes tough throws. (Exhibit A: Robinson TD...Tough throw) Guys, pray he stays healthy...he is the real deal. I Like him better than Andrew Luck- as he is more mobile and has better arm strength w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
