TEs last 11-14 years. And he's like 10ish? Yeah he's p much getting there.

Kelce's 34, far more likely then not he's just over the hill


He's definitely on the downslope, but the peak was so high I expect his decline to be a drat good player. I doubt we see him suddenly drop to sub replacement level play like you often see with running backs and some WRs.

Yeah, if Kelce wasn't in such a poo poo receiving corp he'd probably still have a pretty great year by most TE standards. But as bad as KC's receivers are, defenses can cover him better and he's not as able to overcome coverage as well as he used to.

Also, I thought he was looking a little rough during the playoff run last season as well. I think the wear and tear is catching up with him

I didn't realize Mahomes was having such a bad year. Sub 2:1 TD to INT ratio, sub 7.0 Y/A, 91.7 QB rating.

We all know he's a top 3 quarterback - the receiving group for the Chiefs must be historically awful to make him regress that much.

People made fun of Sam Darnold for seeing ghosts but it's exactly what Mahomes looks like right now.

zero trust in receivers and his tackles has made him so in his head that he's often not even making throws he should, even when guys are "NFL open". Nothing is on schedule in this offense right now except for screens and passes behind the LOS; he's immediately going into creation/hero ball mode which is great sometimes but hard to sustain.

It's weird to see defenses play so aggressively at the line of scrimmage against the Chiefs because they're not that afraid of downfield passes. Back in the day they had miles of room in the short game because DBs were so afraid of getting owned.

It's extremely funny to watch. Mahomes extending plays for 5+ seconds, running all over the place, rocketing a ball to an extremely covered shithead with no hands. Or sometimes said shithead just stops so Mahomes pegs a safety in the breadbasket

The KC line has been bad too and Kelce is having a down year by his insane HoF standard.

Chiefs are still the team I least want to see in the playoffs. Any given Sunday Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid can gently caress you up.

imo it's sullied his HoF campaign and i no longer consider him a HoF candidate. i blame the refs.

someone brought up that because the chiefs have been playing deep into the postseason every year and that the extra games are adding some wear. the chiefs have played 3 playoff games every year going back to 2019, which is an extra 12 games. kelce's not exactly having a bad year though (he'll still top 1000 yards) so who knows how much this actually matters, but its something interesting to take into account

The Charlotte Hornets got back their name once the NBA realized that nobody will ever take "Bobcats" seriously and they just threw away decades of history for no good reason.

When teams play in Baltimore the scoreboard reads by the team name. So like "Ravens: 21 Texans: 20". Except for when the Colts come. Then it reads "Ravens:21 Indianapolis: 20"

A small pettiness, but one I've always enjoyed.

The Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes, Carolina Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers, and Colorado Avalanche/Québec Nordiques all stand out to me as incredibly lame and theft of various cities history

They can and have used the Winnipeg Jets old logo every now and then for throwbacks, special outdoor games, and both their reverse retro uniforms, they’ve just never used it as their main uniform since they came back.
