Shame about the OL

Don't worry you addressed that by taking some guy out of football powerhouse Sioux Falls.

It’s not that bad. Fuller, Breeland and Ward are all average to above average. We just have no clear cut very good to elite CB1 and if any of those 3 guys get injured there’s no one behind them trustworthy.

I’m enjoying looking at the new front seven. Should be a fun group.
Hot take incoming: I don't think Breeland is any better than Nelson, really. I would have saved the trade up ammo to jump ahead of the Steelers for Justin Layne.

Counterpoint: Nelson could be pretty good if he knew how to turn his head EVER and if Breeland does this just once a game we have improved the secondary in both passes defended and the reduction in penalties.

He would turn it here and there, but yes the William Bartee head movement was really something. I really hope they can somehow trade for someone actually good.

Speaking of Gruden.

quote:

He used to make a game of his obsession. At 3:15 some mornings, he would call over to the offices of then (and current) Raiders coach Jon Gruden, just to see if he was in. Gruden was famous for his all-consuming work ethic. But he was never there at 3:15 a.m., and as Gruden’s office line would ring and ring, Cunningham would laugh and laugh knowing full well that nobody on earth worked longer and harder than he did.

It makes sense. Only at 3am can you come up with plays like "Donnell Bennet up the middle" and "Donnell Bennett up the hole close to the middle"

He was a good DC and a pretty lovely head coach

Mahomes is going to ball the gently caress out doesn’t matter if he’s throwing to Tyreek or Byron Pringle, I said this a few times before but Albert Wilson had something like 10 catches 180 yards off 11 targets in Mahomes first ever NFL game

At the end of the day Mahomes is still the best young quarterback to come into the league in forever. He is well-positioned to become THE best quarterback in the NFL. So no, I don't buy that they miss the playoffs unless they really, amazingly hosed up that defense to a degree hitherto unknown.

They might have some trouble with the top-level teams (like last year) but mediocre teams will fall like wheat before a scythe

I can see why those kinda articles are being written, Chiefs jettisoned all their big name players outside of Kelce, Jones and Mahomes, and Tyreek may miss over half the season.

But I like a lot of the new players, Clark Matheiu and Thornhill especially, OL has continuity (the new center started a bunch of games last year) and most importantly Bob Sutton is gone

He won't have to. The Chiefs' defense biggest weakness by far was linebackers in coverage. That has completely changed. After that it was safeties. That has completely changed. Mahomes doesn't need 50/5000 to win it all and just lol at not making the playoffs with that schedule.

The AFC is gonna be tough. Colts, Pats, Chargers, Ravens all look to be really good teams

Jul 24, 2003

A lot of the toughest games work out for the Chiefs though.

Colts is the Sunday night game at Arrowhead
Pats is probably a loss
Chargers is in Mexico City, not a real away game and even travel for both teams
Ravens is at home in good weather

I dont really believe in the Ravens. Losing Mosely and Suggs was big and I dont think much of Lamar.

Colts, Chiefs, Chargers, Pats, and Steelers will be the top AFC teams.

I think Denver will look decent as well.

AFC West should come down to week 17 again between KC and Los Diego

Browns are more promising than the Ravens, who really lost a ton of important players in the offseason while the Browns only added talent. Ravens were also insanely healthy last year which isn't likely to repeat. Thinking through the rest of the AFC, besides the teams that were mentioned there might be a second surprise AFC South team after the Colts (either the Titans or the Texans).
