Naw. They have solid weapons everywhere on offense. They have a good defense that just signed Chubb. Their defense has played worse than expected, but has been playing better lately. They have good personnel on that side of the ball and they'll get it together.
Where do you think they're lacking? Depth maybe? Because they're solid across the board. [Reply]

Playing better lately. Look at their defensive personnel. They have the tools. Their defense only needs to be mid tier to get them where they want to go. [Reply]

So if you win this one, there's a good chance of winning out.
I wouldn’t expect the Raiders to be a pushover. I think there’s even a chance that game is important to them. They have several winnable games coming up and some weak teams in front of them in the standings. I could see it coming down to LV and LAC for the last playoff spot again. [Reply]

I'm not saying the defense is bad, but "better lately" isn't shocking. [Reply]

This place would be in full meltdown mode if the Chiefs gave up 178 rushing yards to Justin Fields, and 30ppg to the Lions and Bears in consecutive weeks.
And yeah, playing Brissett and Kyle Allen has a way of "improving" your defense. :-) [Reply]

It’s going to prove that they can beat bad teams but lose to good teams.
Like every other fraud team to ever exist.

You missed the context.
It’s 30 less points on offense, 50 more points given up on defense, AND against an easier schedule.
That mixture spells “fraud”.
Their last victory against a winning team was in WEEK THREE. [Reply]

That’s pretty bad considering Tua is a lefty and his blind spot is being protected by a RT. [Reply]

I can't imagine that game matters for KC though.
If the Dolphins and Bills drop another game and they Chiefs have everything wrapped up by then, no chance they play starters. [Reply]

One would think, but Seattle is not a push over, LV almost beat KC once this year and the Chiefs have issues of playing down to their opponent. As such they have two games against the lowly Broncos that they should win easily, but risk a loss because of that. [Reply]
