I never thought we would go undefeated. I was not one of those with the doom and gloom posts. I can be disappointed we lost without taking the eyes off the prize.
But, we have a long history of heart crushing loses. I totally understand their views. I've lived the last 20 years with you guys sharing our shared pain of those losses.
There is multiple reasons to be hopeful. Pacheco is back this week. Just think about the cold playoff games...defenses trying to tackle Pacheco and Hunt in the cold all game. Now, we have Brown to run those deep routes. Mahomes will be the same Mahomes he has always been in the playoffs.
We’re 9-1 and tied for the best record. But it’s pretty clear we have concerns. Kelce is showing his age, LT is still an unstable position, Pat is off which throws the whole offense off. We had a bad game, but there’s also a gameplan that teams are using against us now, and we haven’t really figured it out yet. It’s ok to be worried about the issues the team has, while supporting them. We’re 9-1, but it ain’t all rainbows and unicorns. [Reply]
Every team has concerns. It's okay to discuss those concerns. But we're 9-1. With a pretty tough schedule especially to open the season.
We lost a game on the road against a team that's probably the 3rd best in the league right now. It happens.
The defense is struggling a bit but has some secondary losses to scheme around. That will get better and just like with the Bengals a couple years ago, spags was probably playing a little vanilla in preparation for seeing the bills again later.
LT is the biggest issue but we still have a lot of talent to scheme around this as well. This team has a killer instinct in the post season. Nobody wants to play them.
The bills will drop some stupid game they shouldn't and the chiefs tend to do this too.
Lots of games left still and I doubt any teams wins out. We have a great shot to win it all again this year. Going to need some breaks just like every year. [Reply]
Mahomes has been off this year that's undeniable. Now as far as the reason for that is who knows. Is it the receivers, is it the offense, is it nagy, is it the play calls, is it the protection, is it a culmination of all of the above?
Our left tackle sucks so let's not give him help on that side or try to run quicker passes/screens to help negate the rush. That's what drives me the most nuts. It's like we're too stubborn to realize that our LT is nothing more than a tackling dummy and we seemingly make no adjustments for that.
Edit: this doesn't mean we suck but we have more issues than we have had the last two years and we're still 9-1 [Reply]
