I'm sure EB didn't make a phone call to Reid this week.

Have to stop the run. PHI is one of the few teams that has no problem running the ball 40+ times, in fact, they'd rather pass just 15-20 times and just pound the ball all day long.

OL has to play better than they have the last four weeks. Offense has to put more than two-three scores on the board. This is a better defense than any KC has faced in the last month, so that's going to be interesting to see how we match up with 2 weeks to prepare.

Hopefully, Andy and Pat have come up with some extra sauce/magic over the bye. Think we're going to need all of it to earn this W.

Ugh oh.

The WR cult has entered the thread to be the miserable fucking cunts that they are.

Hope the Chiefs win 17-14 on a 65-yard FG just to piss them off.

One thing is for sure, they wouldn't be happy.

And that's pathetic.

Eh we were built to win games like this. But for sure our pass offense needs to do their job.

Their pass offense this year has turned into a prayer ball offense. We can stop that. They run the ball well but we are built to contain it. Their defenses strength is stopping the run. The main edge in this game is that their pass defense is begging to be exploited and we have that ability (we just haven't shown it consistently)

I think you're overselling the eagles a bit. We need to move the ball on pass offense. Period. We do that, we win

It’ll be crucial to keep them out of 3rd or 4th and 4 or less situations.

I don’t want to see that Brotherly Shove bullshit and we’ve already shown we have no hope of stopping it.

I had Howell last week because Pat was on the bye worked out well

How do you compare this WR group to the 1996 Chiefs version?
[Reply]

They seem to be happiest when things go bad so they can say they told everyone so.

Actually, I'm done arguing about the passing attack. It is what it is. Either KC will take advantage of their secondary, as many teams have this season, or they won't.

But that DL is as good as pretty much any in the league, significantly better than MIA, and apparently, we had some trouble with their pass rush. I'm inferring that from what I've read since I didn't actually get to see the MIA game. I'm guessing our quick passing game needs to be on point for this one.

However the Chiefs generate points, whether they run it or throw it, they just need to score more points than what they've been averaging over the last month.

If KC can be more efficient on offense than they have been recently, at least get back to what they were doing through the first 4-5 weeks, Chiefs probably win, assuming the defense continues to dominate.

Guessing it'll be something like 23-20 if PHI continues to have issues with their passing game and our offense can exploit their issues in the secondary, while keeping them honest with a consistent rushing attack. Only issue with that, is the fact that PHI has the best run defense (yds/gm), and our rushing game is ranked something like 18th?

My hope is that the bye will give Andy and our passing attack whatever it is they need to take a couple steps upwards and forwards. Andy's been a wizard about coming off the bye his entire career, so I feel relatively confident about that.


Anyway, should be a pretty tight game, but we should learn a lot about our team overall regardless.

I respect Scheftie for wearing a hoodie on his podcast. The CP Wide Receiver Cult (the WRC) is here to guide you on your path to enlightenment on just how awful the 2023 Chiefs WR group is, and how great Mahomes is in covering their glaring deficiencies.

We are the WRC so pity us
These receivers we watch our hideous
We will remind you of this in every thread
Cause we're the CP WRC

I think winning 17-14 on a late game pick six would fit the narrative better.
