Just run the ball isn't the answer when the defense is playing basically telling you "we dare you to throw it deep".
Crazy how far our passing game has fallen. I remember when 4th and 15 was being rumored as a replacement for the onside kick and people were legitimately against it because they were scared KC would go for it all the time. [Reply]

Pacheco/Hunt were averaging 3.7 YPC on 19 carries. Not good but not so bad that you must abandon the run with a lead when you're taking pressure on almost every passing play. [Reply]

The Chiefs need to cut out the bullshit non focused football and go out and play a complete football game and beat someone. They keep fucking around, they'll lose a close one.
14 of the 41 was Pick 6's by the Denver defense. Will the Chiefs defense do that to Jameis? [Reply]

Almost like that was during rookie contract Mahomes and having prime Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz is pretty difficult to replicate when you are paying your QB so much and draft at the end of every round. [Reply]

It can be done though. Look at Detroit. Huge money contract for Goff, including $80 million this year. Big money spent on a stud WR, LT, and RT. Look at Philly. Big money QB. Big money OL. Two big money WR's. Big money RB. Big money on defense too. They still haven't really paid the price for Howie Roseman's aggressive cap management through the years. [Reply]

The Chiefs are spending big $$$ at RT, Center, LG, and TE (Kelce with the highest AAV among all TE’s). [Reply]

The Chiefs will never draft anywhere close this high with Mahomes
That's true. But once you get past the draft, I am looking at the contracts on these guys. Huge money being thrown around by both of those teams, seemingly without any consequence. Eagle fans swear that everyone else always says Roseman's aggressive cap management will catch up to them, but their fans claim it has not really happened yet after 10+ years. [Reply]

It will, to some extent, in 2026. A bunch of Voids hit then, to the tune of like 80m. [Reply]

I guess we'll see. The Saints have kind of proven that you can wiggle out of all kinds of salary cap problems even when you appear to be dead in the water. Philly seems pretty good at those wiggle moves as well. [Reply]

Yeah, that's why I say "to some extent," because the cap always grows too. It will never fully implode them but they might have a tighter year like Dallas and New Orleans had this season where you can't get too overzealous in FA like Howie normally is. [Reply]
