Right now the worst stat for us is that we are 24th in red zone TD%. For a team that reliably and somewhat by necessity matriculates the ball down the field really well, not scoring in the red zone at an above average rate is a major issue. We fix that and things look a lot better. [Reply]

Guys, just stop. This team has been poked and prodded in a million ways. Some of you still think Mahomes is going to become Superman only because he was ranked 4th in the top-100 NFL players as if that matters.
They don't need more motivation beyond winning a 3rd straight SB. It's insane some of you still think stuff like this is going to change the trajectory of this season. Grow up, Peter Pans.
Mahomes’ locker room comments (“they asked for it!”) after the Buffalo playoff game made it clear that the Chiefs had a chip on their shoulder from whatever BS was flying around in the media, which included at least one Buffalo player who said the Chiefs would not be able to win Playoff games on the road. I say bring on the bulletin board material if it gives the team more focus. [Reply]
Rex Ryan can't sniff out poop. He was an irrelevant coach. People think he was the 2000 Ravens DC but that was Marvin Lewis. He's a big mouth and nothing more. [Reply]

I’m sure they wanted to win a lot before. I’m sure they wanted to win more after. They barely won that game.
If they had lost, would that have meant that the comments didn’t matter?
The Chiefs are just a really good team with some really high end talent. They are going to be motivated in the playoffs plenty regardless of the opponent. [Reply]

Sure, but that doesn’t mean they play better because of it. You’re creating some strawman otherwise. [Reply]
We've all seen teams with great W/L records, but also struggled to earn most of those Ws, get bounced in the 1st round. Same as it ever was. I hope KC figures out their issues and starts playing better football, but I don't know that they will, so they could get bounced just like any of those other teams did. [Reply]
