Recent history suggests we tend to come out alright after losing to the Bengals. I'll take our outcomes over what happens to you guys each time you beat us...nothing. [Reply]

What would a Bengal fan know about holding a trophy in February? [Reply]

Wasn’t this supposed to happen last time? I’m getting a strong feeling of deja vu.
Downgrading your secondary and adding a turnstile (your words) at LT doesn’t seem like a great recipe for taking out Andy and Mahomes. Losing your top skill players to FA in a year or two definitely won’t be.
This was supposed to be the year to get the Chiefs. If you couldn’t take them down when they were putting a bunch of rookies on the field, with 4 of their top 5 WRs out, two of their top defenders injured, and Mahomes playing on one leg……well, good luck beating the more seasoned version with a bunch more draft picks and key holes filled. :-)

And he's not going to have Thuney next to him in Cinci. [Reply]
Brown not exactly getting off to a great start in Cincinnati.
There has been back and forth all offseason from Chiefs fans and Bengals fans over how good Brown actually is, but we all got to see Brown play in Week 1 starting at left tackle for the Bengals as he went up against Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals were clobbered by the Browns in week one and Myles Garrett sure got his against Orlando Brown just like we saw in Orlando Brown's first game with the Chiefs a couple of years ago. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was rather flustered all game and he passed for a lowly 77 yards in the team's season opener. [Reply]
Brown isn't awful, but he always seemed like a guy with... very average athleticism. He might still be an upgrade for the 'gals over what they had before, but he's going to struggle working 1v1 against someone like Garrett. [Reply]

If you want to stay, don't anchor. I know that you can get away with that in most negotiating settings and by and large its considered standard operating procedure. Shoot high, we'll exchange numbers we don't really expect to get accepted and we'll settle in the middle...
Got it. Typical stuff.
Well Veach doesn't seem interested in that crap.

Just come correct to the table and he'll get something done. But if you want to play hardball, he's moving on. So...stop fucking playing hardball. Mahomes, Kelce and Jones are the only 3 guys that might be able to twist his arm. The rest of you fellas are support staff and WILL be replaced if you or your agent are gonna be dickheads about this process.
Yeah. It seems only 1 guy could twist arms in the KC front office, but so far Mahomes has taken the opposite approach. Kelce has a legit argument for deserving much higher compensation. But I think they would tell him to screw off just like Chris Jones. [Reply]
