All the more reason to put Jones back inside.

- Clark (IF healthy and available)
- Reed
- Jones
- Okafor

is miles better than

- Clark
- Reed
- Nnadi
- Jones

imho. Jones is just THAT good inside, and Veach thought he could paint over the Clark foible this year and beginning next year by moving an All-Pro talent to a position where he may not even be a borderline Pro Bowler. Bite the bullet and put your best lineup out there.

Patriots say they want you to hold their beers

The Patriots never won 4 consecutive AFCCGs, which is one goal the Chiefs are trying to accomplish this season, in their first 4 tries.

This will be their 3rd win in a row, if they get there. They lost the 1st one to the Pats. Remember D Ford?

lol, apparently I need more coffee. :-)


Well... that's still pretty good and difficult!


Carry on.

If the Chiefs play anything close to their A game, no team in the AFC is beating them in a playoff game or a critical game down the stretch of the regular season.

We won a Super Bowl in my lifetime. I wake up every morning and the first thing I see is the "Super Bowl LIV Champions" towel on my wall.

The rest of this is gravy.

We'll be fine. Two bounces away from 3 and 0 not playing even close to their best foot ball. Could really be 0 and 3 though too...

While I think we'll be fine, and while I thank Dirty Dan profusely for the outstanding plays he made in our championship season, you're absolutely right. I don't know what Thornhill did to get into Reid's doghouse, but they need to mend that fence and get him on the field. Dirty Dan is a huge liability at this point. He's just guessing, imo. Sometimes he's right and makes a play, but more often than not he's way out of position and it's killing us.

We committed 4 turnovers yesterday and still almost won.

We would've beat Baltimore if not for some bad playcalling and an untimely fumble.

None of this is not fixable. It would be a lot more concerning if we were getting blasted and not making mistakes.

We will be just fine.

This is a tough part of our schedule so that's not crazy. I fully expect all three of the teams we've played thus far to be in the playoffs.

It's weird how the NFL works too. We absolutely had no business beating the Browns. Conversely, we definitely should have beaten the Ravens (11 point lead with the ball deep into the 3rd quarter) and Chargers (-4 turnover diff and still only lost by one score).. and yet here we are sitting at 1-2 having won the game we shouldn't have and lost the two we shouldn't have.

The Buffalo game will determine if we are "fine."

If we don't get pressure on Allen we will likely lose and that won't bode well for the postseason.

This is exactly what I pointed out to a friend who asked me the exact question of the thread.

Those teams will likely be playoff teams. They all have good defenses. The defensive lines of all 3 have star pass rushers. And, we have a new OL that is trying to gel.

It is a bit troubling with the points we are giving up right now, but also look at the qb's we've faced. The first 4 out of 5 games are playoff teams in the AFC. We've kind of shot ourselves in the foot by losing to those types of teams, but it is what it is and you just have to make yourself better. Hammock is right - we can't lose to Buffalo.

Hopefully Sunday we get the ship righted and get our heads out of our asses. Difference is the turnovers.

We should not have re-signed Jones. He is a pass rusher exclusively and terrible against the run. For the $ we should have moved on. Now we are forced with finding a spot for him. I like Jones but paying him what we are for what he does didn't make a lot of sense. He is not Donald.
