Offense isnt going to turn it over this much every game and theres some correctable things on defense to make them a top 20 unit. With some winnable games coming up I don't see reason to worry. [Reply]
We saw this coming last season. Too many last minute drives to win or barely hanging on to win after being up multiple scores. So far our offense has been inconsistent. Turnovers like we are seeing usually go away so I am not too worried about those. However, Patrick has had 2 bad turnovers the last 2 game. Today I know he expected Kelce to keep running but it hurt. Last week it was trying to do too much instead of just taking the sack.
Both led to bad outcomes. He has to calm down a bit. The defense though is so bad I can't see us doing better than 9-8 or 10-7. Unless things change quickly and we get consistent on both sides of the ball it's going to be a rough season. [Reply]
The Bears had less than 70 yards of offense today, if you're looking for a little more inspiration as to how we're going to be just fine when we stop turning over the ball. [Reply]

Kelce went for 100 yards. Hardman, CEH, and Fortson caught touchdowns. 10 different Chiefs caught passes.
I'm all for getting a legit #2 WR some way next year, but I don't think the fucking #2 option at wide receiver in 2021 is going to be the position that makes or breaks us. [Reply]

If they can run the ball effectively like today, that's a big boost. Make other teams have to pick their poison. Question is, can they run well every week? [Reply]
The biggest hope for the defense might be that they decide to give the snaps they're giving to Neimann and Sorensen (and others) to youngsters. Maybe it won't work, but it doesn't seem like these guys are at replacement level anymore. (or in some cases, never were) [Reply]

Heh, this almost aged perfectly into a comment about how overreacting to losing a couple games in September is about as silly and premature as saying the Packers have it figured out because they're winning after the first quarter.

Even if they hadn't pulled off the last-minute magic, they're already a long way from week one. Certainly a lot more progress than the Chiefs have made in the first three weeks.
And FTR, I'm not yet at the position that the Chiefs coaches can't figure it out, just sober about the enormity of the task at present.
It's not as dire as the Haley years, but it's not as rosy as 'hey, maybe don't fumble so much so we can go to another SB.' [Reply]
The most worrying thing to me is actually Reid's health issues. If Reid is okay, then I'm not worried. We have a lot to figure out, but the talent and coaching is there. [Reply]
