This team is going to need a top notch run game to make an AFC Championship under Alex Smith in 2017, along with a top notch defense. Now, if Mahomes becomes as good as many including myself think he could be, it's a whole new level for the Chiefs. The offense could become something it hasn't been in nearly 15 years.
I honestly dont see our guys being quite as dynamic as Atlantas duo
But what our guys lack in explosiveness, they should be be able to make up for with with a grinding, wear you down, kill the clock style... provided Ehingers return is the cure for what ailed us last year
What Alex Smith brings this year, I have no clue... tempted to expect the same old shit because thats how he has mostly played for his entire career
But maybe, just maybe, the writing on the wall spurs him to reach outside of himself and he tries to MAKE plays for once... 'good' Smiff can approach dynamic, we'll see
The pressure will either make him wilt, or make him show off
If he decides to grab his balls, we could have a great year [Reply]

The majority of Alex wins are when he (or even the defense!) puts the team up by 3-7 points in the 3rd quarter, and then continues to stall on offense for the rest of the fucking game. Maybe the defense or ST will come up with another score occasionally, but if you want to help out the defense by securing that lead and not leaving that unit out to dry? Alex can't help you and won't help you. [Reply]

If not for Miracles by Eric Berry and Marcus Peters this team goes 9-7 last year. [Reply]

What do you guys expect? Most of our talent is on D so of course we are going to win most games because of the defense. The only real Pro Bowl player we have on offense is Kelce. Maclin was terrible last yr.
You guys should use common sense more. It might help out more than you think. [Reply]

Then you could pull the same logic of Smith pulling together a critical-to-the-win drive here and there too.
SD week 1...
key scores vs NO in the second half to hold a lead...
key drive late in the 4th to tie up (and win eventually) against CAR...
FG winning drive vs DEN in OT week 12...
playing keep-away from ATL in the final minutes, so they could hold possession and win...
some other games mixed in, where KC won more easily, so no need to point fingers...
See how this works? All aspects... as a team... have their part in wins... and losses... as a team. In case you missed it... football teams... play as.. a team.

As happened in 2014.
And in the playoffs.
It truly would have taken a miracle for KC to win a SB in the 2013-2015 years. No matter who the QB was, sans maaaaybe Brady or Rodgers. [Reply]
He's as defensive as he's ever been in his time here. The Chiefs traded up to draft a great prospect to replace his Alex and Alex himself said he thinks he'll be here only 1 more season.
It's okay, Tiger. We'll recommend a good message board for you to spew your Alex love When he's inevitably on his new team next Spring. [Reply]
He said they're only committed to him for one season. Didn't say he was gone after this season. Said it like a true professional, you know, nothing like you two scumbags are capable of doing in your entire lives. I feel sorry for you losers. [Reply]

Oh you mean just like you said when Derek Carr would blow us out of the water? How'd that and all your other predictions work out for you, kid? :-) [Reply]

You realize what a prediction is right? Its not a declaration of what is 100% going to happen.
There is a huge difference between Clay and others making predictions that turn out to be completely wrong, and you analyzing something that has already happened and making false claims about said thing. [Reply]

Again, I think Mahomes starts in 2018... but people that act like this 2 yr development theory is wildly crazed Smith-love? Those people are probably basing their thinking through the lens of their Smith hate.
How many of those pre-draft opinions are viewing Mahomes through the narrow lens of, "How close is he to Andrew Luck?" Or how many of them take one look at, "Threw a lot of risky stuff? Texas Tech? Oof... he's as raw as they come!" And how many of those opinions were calling Mahomes a multi-year project, but Deshaun Watson, a QB who is WAY more raw than Mahomes, gets a much lighter pass in terms of the "raw" label?
There's a ton of stupid shit out there written about Mahomes. Some of it's informed, some of it isn't. Yes, Andy Reid and Jon Gruden both said, "He's raw, he's not ready." Nobody is questioning that.
But Tiger hasn't been going, "We'll see." And he hasn't been saying, "I predict Mahomes will need more than a year based on...." He's been flat out saying "Two years. 2019. Possibly longer. Extend Alex. We'll need him." For him there is NO possibility that Mahomes could be good enough to start in 2018. That's just short-sighted. And if it's not biased, I don't know what is.
You don't see the inverse from the other side. You see, "As soon as he's ready, Mahomes needs to start, however long that takes." [Reply]
