It's simple. We lost two games in a row because we gave the ball away at critical times. Some one said it earlier. Take the emotion out of it and it's that simple, we lost those games because of the turnovers.

Easy to see the defense give up TDs after a turnover and blame them but go back to why they were up against it in the first place.

Actually, my wording was poor. Mahomes was more at fault for that loss than any other in his career. Was he the primary reason we lost? That's more of a stretch.

Rams game was much worse. Mahomes directly gave the Rams 21 points. Tyreek, Kemp, and Clyde deserve just as much blame as Mahomes for the Chargers loss.

Never having experienced it as a Chiefs fan before... what does paying the QB 1/2 Billion dollars do to the rest of the team? I know he's the most important player on the team yet these guys are human. Is there any resentment or jealousy? isn't this what typically happens to teams once they pay the QB (Seattle?).

I'm more concerned with the lack of depth; free agent signings and trading drafts for players are great when you manage to get the better end of the deal however, how is that determined? Drafting our first players at the end of the second (basically third) round doesn't seem like a winning formula.

Are we experiencing a senior slump? Just how motivated can the players really be?

I don't want the Chiefs turning into the Marino Dolphins...

Mahomes got his ass kicked in the first half of that game. Belichick had him going full retard.

This needs to be the teams theme song

This is where I’m at too. Jones is a disruptive force in the middle. The Tackles are just too much for Jones apparently. He needs to go back inside, and know he’s still getting paid big bucks, so shutup. What has he done from the DE position thus far vs what he did at DT in previous years? I guess my only concern with moving him back is he has dropped weight to play DE. Will he be as effective at DT at his current lighter weight?

Despite what we might feel emotionally about Sunday's game, the defense was much, much better at a lot of things. Stopping the run, for instance, where they went from historically bad to 3.5 ypc and 77 yards.

Yes the pass rush is a problem, and yes, the red zone defense is a problem.

They were also gassed early as we turned the ball over 3 straight possessions. And we were down what....like 4 guys.

They were put in a pretty impossible position. They won't be terrible for long, and I expect improvement each game as the season goes on.

We're not going to turn the ball over 4 times per game either. And frankly, if we hadn't done that, we'd have wiped the floor with The Chargers and everyone would be talking about how dominant we were.

But we didn't, and we aren't, and we are what we are.

They'll get it turned around.

I'm not sure I buy that theory in this one. One turnover was after a 10 play drive, and the other 2 were 5 and 6 play drives. The 20 yard return and penalty on CEH for a low block on the "fumble" by Hill gave the Chargers good field position. As did the fumble by Clyde. Two 50 yard drives was probably more responsible for points than fatigue.

Nah. If I recall correctly, Wilson allegedly came across as smug and holier than thou to some of his team. Everyone on the Chiefs seems to love Mahomes and he comes across as a true leader. Secondly, it would be one thing if Mahomes sucked and was making 1/2 billion. But, he is making everyone else $$$. Resenting him would be beyond idiotic.


Marino's Dolphins never won a Super Bowl, so we've already eclipsed that mark. If you want to worry about us becoming Rodger's Packers or Brees's Saints, I guess that's another discussion. But it's probably early for that even.

The INT in the Super Bowl didn't help his case with his teammates. Not to mention a couple of them were just straight up head cases that can't get jobs today because of their toxic personalities.

Faders fans with no concept of how their season goes, after all these years is hilarious. You’re the Faders, you win some early then fade back to mediocrity. Their fans beat their chests for a few weeks, then disappear from social media once the Fade starts to happen. Then it’s your turn to watch the team who has made your team their bitch for decades, win another SB, while you kick your dogs, and scream loudly at your TV with tears in your eyes. IS GRUDEN GONE YET?? Then a few months later, you get yourselves all hyped up again heading into the draft, then preseason champs, then the season starts, and ...... back to the beginning of the cycle of Fade.

I'm out of the loop on this convo: what are we referring to here?
[Reply]

To OP:

Sure do.

The Chiefs really should be 2-1 with a loss to the Browns and wings against the Ravens.

Weird things happen sometimes, and sometimes they last an entire season. But I wouldn't expect it.

It sucks that the Chiefs lost to the Chargers. It makes the season harder. But they also moved the wall mostly at will, were -4 in turnovers, and still lost by a single score.

It sucks that the Chiefs lost to the Ravens. It makes the season harder.

But I do wonder... is the team better in the end because it lost these games and is less "comfortable" and actually works on things?

Do they bring in Gordon if they're 3-0?

They're talking about the Super Bowl the Seahawks lost because Wilson threw an INT in the end zone.

Russell Wilson and Seattle.
