Take some pressure off, play free. No one is expecting nonstop fireworks anymore. Just win.
I think he was looking for Rice a little too much. There was one play against the Falcon where Kelce broke open immediately for what should’ve been a huge gain. Mahomes went to Rice for less yardage right away.
With Rice’s style of play and that workload, I always kinda felt like he wasn’t playing 16-17 games this season anyway.
Surprising how it happened, but felt somewhat inevitable. [Reply]

This might be Kelce’s last season. We’re going for an unprecedented three peat. Tomorrow doesn’t matter.
If there was ever a scenario to overpay a bit in order to go all in, it’s right now.
Yes disadvantageous to the future. I have zero issues if they give up a lower pick for a WR but I am not for giving up a high pick in a trade.
Teams don’t want to negotiate with Veach before the draft, they are not going to be eager to trade with him now, especially if they reek of desperation.
They lost Rice and while it’s a big blow it’s not season ending for this team. This team can still win it all without being desperate. There was no guarantee KC was winning it all even had Rice stayed healthy. [Reply]
The team doesn't exist in a vacuum. Take a look around the league. Every team has issues. Nobody's just crushing people every week. Baltimore is crushing Buffalo, but we beat Baltimore.
We just need to tighten up and decrease mistakes. Get Worthy more involved each week. We're going to be okay. [Reply]

He was definitely locking in on him too much because he had established himself as his quick safety net when he doesn’t trust his line.
Was hoping Mahomes would ease out of that while still having Rice available to him, but alas.
Guess Kelce is just gonna have to have another 1000 yard season, and our rookie might too.
But we’ve also got a shot to have an old-fashioned, New England-esque winter ground game where Hunt and Pacheco just make it a real pain in the ass to even focus in on the passing game.
Would love for us to win another Super Bowl in a different way, once again. [Reply]

A lot of teams have had injuries and will continue to get more of them [Reply]
