Butkers leg is going to fall off. Our WRs are so bad we will struggle to make it beyond the opposing teams 35 yard line. Butker is going to set record for most 50+ yd field goals in one season and KC will be lucky to score more than 15pts per game. [Reply]
I read the other day that our defense could struggle up until Thanksgiving. Can't stop the run up the middle, and out CB's aren't very good. We don't even want to think about what the two-minute drill defense is going to look like.
So we can't score. Can't stop the other team from scoring.
But we do have the draft in KC next year. Hopefully we can lock down the #1 overall pick and have some lively discussions on who we should take starting sometime mid-December. [Reply]

That is kind of a trait of Spags defense. They always start slow and get better after the first month or so. [Reply]

He’s had some real productive snaps. He was with the Giants last year and had some productive snaps there. He and I could probably afford to lose a couple (of pounds) and I think he’ll do that as we go forward.”

I do think he'll be a quality player in rotation on run downs. I like the get. [Reply]
Doubt it. He isn’t officially signed yet and a player release for his roster spot isn’t official yet. Probably make it official Sunday or Monday after the game. [Reply]
