This team needs a lot of changes, currently they are a bad football team. Bad football teams lose every game to good football teams and sometimes win against other bad teams. They also turn the ball over minimum 2x a games. They have no focus, little fight, and seem to regress every game.

The closest comparison is the Kurt Warner-led Rams, who from 1999-2001 led the league in offense but also in drives ending with a turnover. Until this season, it hadn’t mattered.

I think he meant it more in the sense that of course they want to win every game as that is the point of playing. I haven't really ever gotten the sense from him that he feels entitled. It feels more like he came into this league like a hurricane just smashing records to the point that it felt easy for him and this is his first real hurdle he is facing. As a 26 year old struggling you look to your coaches to guide you in the right direction. [Reply]

He didn't predict 20-0. The media took it out of context. He was just stating that the goal is to win every game they play; not that he actually expected to. [Reply]

Somehow I don't think that was the only time that happened on Sunday. I don't think they called it once.
"If the defender maintains contact beyond five yards, it is illegal contact. Beyond the five-yard zone, incidental contact may exist between receiver and defender. Penalty: For illegal contact by the defense: Loss of five yards and automatic first down."
It would seem that, like practicing a rub route and also learning how to draw a DPI, the Chiefs would do themselves a favor by learning exactly when to make a scene with the officials to make sure that their complaint is registered on TV. If you can get the announcers to talk about what you just had an animated conversation with an official about, they'll either start to look for them and call them, or the defender will realize that they're now being watched. But TK needs to know that he has to consistently remind the officials (somewhat respectfully) about what they're missing, but make sure the camera catches it.
Packers, Cowboys, 49ers, Cardinals, Bengals, Raiders 2Xs, Chargers again. I believe this team goes maybe, maybe 6 - 11 you heard it here first - this team sucks and is displaying it to all of us, Chiefs Kingdom, before our very eyes - week in and week out. I am so embarrassed by my beloved CHIEFS I just cannot believe it. :-):-):-)

Yes, t'was on a Zoom call evidently. Claimed that he liked the defensive effort in the 2nd half and keeping the Titans off the board, he "like the team's mentality on the way home" - they were all looking at the game on their iPad and not listening to loud music. He said they were looking to get better and focusing on what went wrong. He said that it told him that "it means you have a pretty strong locker room; and they need that right now." I think it's awesome that they've decided to buckle-down and look at things. Not a minute too soon if they want to return to the SB again this year. [Reply]
