I'm more worried about the opposite scenario regarding the team's lines. [Reply]

Win at Denver - Chiefs were actually down 10 coming into the 4Q but Mahomes has drives of 95 and 75 yards for TDs. Defense has two stops (forced punt and turnover on downs).
Loss at New England - Chiefs didn't show up the first half but somehow tied it requiring NE to get a FG to win.
Win at home against Bengals. Chiefs put up 45.
Loss at St. Louis - Ridiculous scoring game and again, needed the Rams to score right at the end to win.
Loss at home to Chargers - Chiefs had the lead but gave it up on a last second TD and Chargers went for 2 for the win. Shitty flags, but they did miss a roughing the passer on Rivers too so it evened out. PS - this was the Chiefs ONLY home loss this season.
Loss at Seattle. Seattle played pretty well. Probably the Chiefs worst game overall this season. They lost by 7. This was also the Chiefs worst loss.
I'd also note that the Chiefs lowest scoring games all season were 27 (twice), and they did it against the #2 and #4 defenses (Baltimore and Denver, respectively). Colts had a ****ing double bagel at Jacksonville!
And in these games, Mahomes was 159/240, 2008 yards, 20 TDs to 6 INTS.
Of note - 2 of the losses has 2 and 3 INTs and 2 had 0. [Reply]

Yeah the Steelers, Ravens, Jags, etc. were all going to blitz and confuse him.....

It's good that he's played in 6 primetime games this year. He was SUPER shitty the first half of NE only to be lights out. I think that's been the biggest difference with Mahomes, we've never had a complete egg from him. [Reply]

I mean, I love Houston and Ford but I do not think I can agree with you on this one. Maybe there's a salary cap reasoning that would make sense, but I think that the Texan's d-line is still objectively better, even though ours is not bad (it's our LBs that have been sub-par this year). [Reply]

Having the best defense means jack and shit these days.
Right? I think you want to have a good enough defense. And ours, we let other teams score slowly against us. And that works for us. We have a middle of the road pass defense and awful run defense. But it works. [Reply]

Mahomes is going to shred them.
Well those are all different types of schemes. I'm sure they will be fine, just some of the packages Eberflus put together in the Texans game was quite impressive. [Reply]
