Kansas City had two red-zone turnovers in the game, both of which took place at the Philadelphia 14-yard line. In the second quarter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an end-zone interception. Then in the fourth quarter, tight end Travis Kelce had the ball punched out... And yet — despite all that — the Chiefs could have won the game if wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling hadn’t blatantly dropped a perfect pass in the fourth quarter. His drop was just one of 26 accumulated by Kansas City’s pass-catchers this season. The Chiefs wasted another outstanding performance by the defense."

It seems like assembling and maintaining a championship team is almost impossible financially. The Chiefs were all offense and no defense, and they've done a great job shifting resources to that side of the ball, but at a price. Pacheco has worked out well, and, now that teams are finally covering Kelce (about time, lol!), he has become the most dependable part of our offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Well, we righted the ship today. After coming out against a team we should beat in typical lackluster form, we developed that sense of urgency that's been missing. Just in time, I think, as a loss today would have put the AFC West automatic berth up for grabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 So much for the pro-KC of fitting conspiracy theory, lol. Congrats to a rising young Green Bay team. They played hard and got it done at home against a good team. I hope they can keep it going. Meanwhile, I'm sure the Chiefs' ice baths have been busy this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Big game today vs Buffalo. With the Bills coming off a bye week you gotta like their chances. Mahomes has been struggling under pressure, and Buffalo is one of the top teams bring the defensive heat. I guess today we'll see if there's any of the Super Bowl contender magic left in the bag...

No, I'm sure there are some oddballs out there who don't (), but based on how loudly the crowds at Mizzou games finish the national anthem with " . . . and the home of the CHIEFS!" I'm guessing that the majority do, so I feel safe in saying the "average" fan does, based in mode, if no other aspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont necessarily agree that a flag was appropriate in that situation, though. Sure enough, analysts have rewatched the game and put together clips of Toney lined up in the same way throughout the game with not only no flag thrown, but no warning issued. And this kind of thing happens too often, where a standard is set by officials throughout a game - or even a season - and then adjusted at a critical moment. It's understandable to me that players get frustrated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Coupled with a Broncos loss to the Colts, today's sound defeat of the Patriots makes for a pretty good weekend. Hopefully it marks a turning point as we gear up for the playoffs. Mahomes broke the 300yd mark, and while Kelce was held to 28 yards, the rest of the receiving unit stepped up. Rice led receivers with 91 yds, while Edwards-Helaire had 64. Each scored a TD. In total eight different receivers gained over ten yards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
