That's definitely a point. Our wrs are crap for the most part. Pringle is showing hopeful signs though.
I still see the occasional wr breaking open and Mahomes just doesn't look.
Hey, MAhomes is still awesome, but he is struggling to run the schemes that defenses are forcing him to run. Defense are now also putting a spy on him now, making his life even harder. That's why he hesitates to take off and run now. He thinks the spies are going to be faster than him and close the hole before he can get there. [Reply]

We just have to take care of business.
The Bengals game scares me.
Why? If this was the beginning of the season when our defense was a dumpster fire I would agree. The defense us improving and because of that we don't have to be lights our on offense to win. Cincinnati is getting better, but I don't think they are there yet. [Reply]
If the Titans beat the Patriots, I would be surprised if they don't hold on for the #1 seed given they have tiebreaker vs the Chiefs. If Patriots win that game as I expect, it may be a battle between Patriots and Chiefs for the number 1 seed.
As of right now, Patriots and Chiefs appear headed to a post season showdown/rematch. The Patriots have to continue to improve their offensive line and make a few less mistakes with pass protection to beat the Chiefs.
Injuries can change things awfully fast but the Patriots appear back as a Super Bowl contender since they drafted really well this past year and did pretty well with their gigantic free agency spending spree.
I honestly think Patriots can contain Chiefs offense enough but they can't have too many negative plays(sacks, penalties, turnovers) on offense and expect to beat the Chiefs. The Patriots really have no truly "big play" receivers nor do they have a Julian Edelman that needs to be doubled. But they do have nice depth at tight end/receiver.
Should be a great game if these two teams meet. [Reply]

It matters. Hard to beat three playoff caliber teams in a row. Keep in mind Andy Reids historical success after a bye week as well. Get the bye and you are damn near guaranteed the AFC Championship game in Arrowhead for the 4th year in a row. [Reply]
