I'm fucking stoked for this season. Life without Mahomes is certainly less.
I'm trying to soak up everything I can during the Mahomes era because it is as good as it ever will be. Accordingly, I'm looking for new ways to pump it directly into my veins.
Personally, I'm looking forward to see if Mahomes will turn the dial to rape. He's spent the last 2 years going underneath and turning off the howitzer that made him Mahomes. Now we have Worthy and Brown with the capacity to blow the roof off again. They should be able to catch something instead of wasting an MVS down, and open up the middle. I won't lie, Brown and Worthy streaking across a wide open middle may be just as good as bombing them deep. Let's fucking GO.
What are you guys looking forward to this year? [Reply]

Only one year.
Our offense was the best in the league in 2022. We led the league in scoring, scoring percentage, yards, yards per play, 1st downs. And we were bottom third in turnovers as well. [Reply]

That's better than I expected but I knew we were good that year. I remember Juju almost had 1k and Mahomes 5k? Still, it felt like a lot of effort getting the ball downfield. We just operated really efficiently. [Reply]
I want the 3-peat to be one of dominance. I want the games to all be of more than 1 score. No more nail-biting, last second field goal wins, if we have a last second field goal, it should be to tack on points to the final score of more than 7 points. Preferably more than 10 points. :-):-) [Reply]

Imagine being the Bills and 49ers…you allow the Chiefs to solve those issues at those draft spots? Incredible.
Bonus points if Steele or one of the late round picks becomes a major contributor.
Worthy, Kingsley, Steele and last but not least Jaden Hicks looking like absolute studs. If we hit on 4-5 draft picks/UDFA this year the AFC is in trouble. [Reply]

Yep, the offense was insanely efficient that year but also pretty explosive.
They averaged a full TD more per game than the 2023 offense. I think that’s what made last season feel like such a slog. [Reply]
Great question. In the big picture, I enjoy watching a well-coached team of smart players who excel in all phases of the game. This team is a delight whenever they're on the field.
Unit by unit, some things I'll particularly enjoy are:
RBs - I think Perine will be a surprise star for us this year in pass sets.
QBs - Like others say, I think Mahomes will be able to unleash bombs more this year.
WRs/TEs - Speed, speed, speed. We'll be all over the field this year.
OL - Kingsley, obviously. I want to see him on screens and in space.
STs - Araiza will be fun to watch, but I think Harrison may get a 67 yard field goal this year.
DBs - Our safeties are going to blow people up this year. I look forward to seeing the schemes.
LBs - I think Chenal is going to get a lot of media attention this year as he dominates.
DL - George gets better every year. I think he'll dominate this year, which will free up Chris Jones. [Reply]
The pundits every week picking against the Chiefs & being wrong. They refuse to pick the Chiefs and say the darndest things. They just can't stand the thought of Kansas City Chiefs 3 peating. [Reply]
