This is a team that lacks focus and discipline. It has all season.

Now they're yelling at coaches and calling out officials for not giving them mulligans on clear penalties.

They need to be humbled. Badly. Players and staff. Superstars and depth guys; coaches and executives. They need their dicks knocked into the dirt in the worst way.

Is it too early to look to 2024? No, not at all. And frankly I'm looking forward to it.

A hard reset is needed.

I hope so but right now we don't look like contenders.

I don't think the Chiefs coasting through large portions of the regular season is anything that has just been restricted to just this year. It's been going on for several seasons now.

This latest stretch is a pretty bad one though. They haven't even bothered to show up in the 1st quarter of a game in about a month now.

It's fine to coast and win.

This is wayyyy different.
[Reply]

I agree.

I'm tired of them going down 14-0 every week and getting out played every single 4th quarter.

This team is used to winning close games in November and December. Darn near every game. This year, it's the other way around.

For a team full of SB winners, they're playing like a team that's never been in a big game under the spotlight. Like a bunch of freakin' amateurs. Slow starts, stupid mistakes, backbreaking plays, etc.

Where's the clutch gene we've seen from prior Chiefs teams?

Well their previous Mahomes teams were good enough to coast and win. This team will hopefully be coming to the realization now that they can't do that.

You simply can't spot desperate teams like the Bills 14 point leads with no real effort/focus for an entire quarter and expect to win in this league.

You can create a wish list, but there are still four regular season games and most likely the playoffs.

It is what is is. We have the greatest QB I have ever seen in his prime with a loaded roster but for some reason they wanted to see what he could do without real WR's.

Didn't work. Learn the lesson and fix it.
[Reply]

We should be grateful for that, because it will help us to make decisions on who should stick around in 2024.

There's no other point to these games though.

We know how this story ends.

Lin Elliot gave us warning signs in '95 too.

You’re reallly throwing in the towel, Clayster
[Reply]

Yep. They'll have an early exit this year. Fix it, get a real WR or two, and become legit contenders again next year.
[Reply]

We are the barbarians. Full of zeal until an enemy with superior tactics and weapons comes along.

The difference in speed and energy from the defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters was startling. It made you realize how fucking lazy they played in the first half.

And the offense - shit, what more can be said. None of them are playing well. Literally not a single guy on offense is playing at even 80% of what he's capable of.

They need to be embarrassed.

I'd say the Broncos knocking them out of the playoffs should cover it.

It wouldn't bother me a bit.

In Miami...

Seriously, they chose this WR room. It is what it is now.
