Having seen HB play here in PHX for so many years I knew he was going to be a great addition for the Chiefs this year. But I'm happy to say that he's exceeded my wildest expectations.
I think he actually took his game to an even higher level than anything I saw while he was a Cardinal. If that's even possible.
I fully expect him to ball out this Sunday, maybe even a pick-6. He'll be a big part of any win we earn, that's for sure.

TM contract is 3/42 and LC contract is 6/84. So LC will still be under contract when hes 33 and TM wont even 30 when his contracts up. Definitely would say we made the right choice.
Called it. Thank god we got Mathieu, just wish the deal would have been a bit longer. Mathieu was easily the best safety in the league this year and played better than he ever has and I think thats because he finally had a coach that didnt limit him and is letting him play in a unique way that brings out all of his strengths.
I didn't think we'd ever have a safety as good as Eric Berry was in his prime, but god damn this season for Mathieu is probably better than any season EB had. Mathieu is the biggest reason that our D is so damn good. To make this big of an impact from the safety position is crazy. There haven't been too many safeties that have made as big of an impact as TM has made. Hes playing at a HOF level.
Thought this was interesting. Shows why Spags use of the Landlord is so confusing for offenses.
Here’s the snap. Landlord clearly has Stills in the slot
Watson makes the correct read here and sees Hopkins. He knows Hopkins route is breaking in and the middle of the field is wide open. He sees the Landlord staying with Stills. Looks like easy money.
This is what Watson saw right as his arm is about to go up to throw the ball.
Landlord switched at the last second and defended the pass. Damn

This is kind of a stupid worthless thought I had, but whatever.
Remember the 2013 draft? "This draft sucks!!!!"
Okay, sure, but let's just take the best players from that draft. No, this isn't objective, it's just who I think of as very good players in the league
Eric Fisher
Lane Johnson
Xavier Rhodes
Deandre Hopkins
Zach Ertz
Darius Slay
Le'Veon Bell
Travis Kelce
Tyrann Mathieu
JC Tretter
I think the best player on that list by far is Deandre Hopkins, but beyond that? The Chiefs probably have the 2nd and 3rd best players from that class on their team. And Eric Fisher is probably in the top 10-15 or so.
If you've got a terrible draft class, it's probably unlikely that three very important players to your Super Bowl team will be playing for you from that draft class. But that's what the Chiefs had.
