Their defense is much better than the Raiders so, yeah, the defense needs to step up for us big time.

I’m not sure our D can play any worse than last night, though.

If anyone sees Chris Jones or Frank Clark let somebody with the Chiefs know.

Because they've been missing for several weeks now.

In a perfect world, Mahomes evens the score against Tom Sunday and then takes him out in the Super Bowl, restoring the balance lost from 2018.

Since I became a Chiefs fan in 1993-1994, we have not beaten the Buccaneers. Most memorable was that blown 18 point lead at home in 2008 and Alex Smith's rare pick in the red zone that changed the game in 2016.

If we can get Watkins and Hardman back, this offense become a lot more explosive. No more Robinson mistakes to stall drives. Conversely, the defense will give up lots of yards and points. Shutting down Tampa's offense with this group is likely asking for much. All depends on whether they can make key stops and force a turnover or two. Likely another high scoring game that comes down to who gets the ball last.

Chiefs beat the Bucs in the first game of 93.

My first game was the playoff game against the Steelers later that year. I guess it was technically January 1994.

Tom brady will get destroyed. Their offensive line not that good.

I have no doubt our offense scores into the 30’s. I have some doubt it’ll be enough to win.

Something no one has mentioned yet; Spags is Brady's kryptonite.

So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

I'm curious to see if Bowles dials back on all the blitzes he calls or if he just sticks to what he's been doing

If he blitzes a lot the Chiefs are going to score a shit ton

Tom Brady, at his 2020 peak, won’t give us what Derek Carr just did.

That’s crazy to say out loud, but Carr made every play and dropped dimes all game.

I suspect we’ll get the exact same treatment from Brady.

I’d be shocked if the Bucs don’t drop 30 on us, though. The question is can the offense keep pace against a pretty stingy Bucs defense.

And, well, never bet against Mahomes.

Here’s some interesting facts about the Bucs that correlate with us.

Veach was going to sign a FA that the Bucs ended up signing. He was the fall back if Sammy didn’t work out. That was OL Ryan Jensen.

Ali Marpet was a guy we were linked to a lot. He was definitely a prototypical Andy Reid OL. Bucs ended up drafting him before we could get a chance in the 2nd rd. Think many thought he’d go in the 3rd.
