I figured I would create one location to house all of the breaking news, rumors, pessimism, despair, helplessness, frustration, and of course optimism leading up to the 2019 NFL Trade Deadline on:
Tuesday, October 29th @ 4:00p Eastern Time
3 weeks from today! We all have ideas of what the Chiefs need so I won't go into that, but hopefully this day will come and go with better results than last year for us. [Reply]

We are ONLY keeping Chris Jones because he is physic. He predicted the CHIEFS would be in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME last January after the previous season. CJ knows what most can't even comprehend. [Reply]

You think we're going 6-2 down the stretch? Even that kind of finish leaves us at 11-5; a good but by no means spectacular record. And that's probably the BEST we can manage over that period.
This isn't a statement that the sky is falling - it's that we already have 3 losses and the ceiling for the regular season has fallen accordingly.
So stop just trying to round every damn draft pick we have into the following round. It didn't make sense at any point and it makes even less sense now. [Reply]

Not disputing your overall point but 11-5 is going to be the 2 seed in all likelihood. It’ll just come down to tiebreakers from there.
So there’s a real chance that KC picks in the bottom 4 of the round. And if they have Mahomes, I’d probably bet on it. Regardless of seed. [Reply]

Gonna finish 8-0. Mahomes gets a back to back mvp, chiefs end up with the 1 seed

Now he's simply a worse version of that same style of player. Yes, he's going to make some plays - but in the biggest games of our season, you don't really have to squint to see him turning in one of those "Dunta Robinson vs. the Colts" kind of performances.
He gives up a lot of plays; takes a bunch of Ls in coverage. I think the Chiefs need a guy who's going to go out there and be reliable more than they need a splashy, boom/bust addition, especially at the cost of $5 million in next season's rollover. I'll trade a W on a rep for 3 neutral plays every time if it saves 2 Ls in the process.
Many of us have been complaining about this defenses lack of cohesion and predictably solid players for the better part of 2-3 seasons. What they need are guys that just do what they're supposed to do so the other 10 players on the field can concentrate on doing their jobs. Inserting someone like Jenkins, who's a blown coverage waiting to happen on any given play, will only interfere with that, IMO. [Reply]

I was talking more about Mecca’s doom and gloom post, not yours. [Reply]
In addition to LT Trent Williams, the #Redskins are calling around trying to trade CB Josh Norman, per sources. Tough to get value right now: Norman is due almost $6 million for the rest of this season and hasn't been practicing because of thigh and hand injuries.

Perhaps.
But it requires a 6-2 finish to even get there. 10-6 is a distinct possibility and wouldn't require a heinous stretch to happen; a merely solid 5-3 finish puts us drafting in the 24 range, does it not? Though I think it'll take 12-4 to get to the 2 seed personally, especially with the losses to Houston and Indy.
I'm just saying that we need to stop acting like this is the team that some of us had going 14-2 a few weeks ago. That ship has sailed and it can't come back. Adjust accordingly. [Reply]
Houston isn’t getting to 12-4... I don’t see Baltimore getting there either with their schedule.
Basically it’s up to Indy. They might but that’s just not a team I fear come playoff time. Maybe that makes me a fool, I think we blow them up pretty good if the offensive weapons are all up. [Reply]
