If they’ve known Tee will never have a healthy hamstring then they should have traded him last offseason.This offseason at the latest. 

Now they are eating three Frachise tag and what are they going to get out of it. 

We havent played the first game yet......

I just don't think that the Ravens defense looked very good. They looked lost and had bad communication without Macdonald as their DC. Plus we both know how losing a Safety can really affect your defense (Plus losing Queen as well). Their OL looked pretty bad too. I don't think that the Chiefs looked "bad", but I think they looked "bad" for the Chiefs.

They looked slow in the front 7 on D IMO
Raquon Smith looked like he put on about 80LBS and couldn't move

Ro was the lowest graded player in the whole game PFF. 29.7

It’s not even close to being the same defense. They lost some key pieces this offseason (Queen, Stone, Clowney, etc).

No doubt. I thought last night was pretty high octane.

No, but he does have a point. As Bengals fans, we have delt with incompetency for a few decades. Seems like a fair question as long as MB draws breath.

I get all frustrated with the posters on here fawning all over everything about the Chiefs. All the time. It’s because we haven’t ever won a SB. But Lamar is 1-6 vs Mahomes and Joe 3-1.

However I agree that the Chiefs for the first game looked pretty good. But both teams looked rough in pass pro. If Lamar runs that much he’s not gonna survive. Maybe it was because he wanted to beat them so bad. When they get Marquis Brown and Worthy together they can’t be stopped. But they will. I’ve been calling it. Mahomes is going to get hurt & This year. Achilles got nailed in the heel. The odds are just that no QB can escape it.

All the major pieces in place.  Hamilton, Madibuke, and most importantly Roquan Smith.  That group changed when they got Smith. Noticeably.  He controls the middle of the field.  Ojabo looks like a find now that he's healthy.  Clowney is a journeyman at this point.  Stone was a third safety behind Hamilton and Williams.  Queen was a loss, but the impact remains to be seen when they play something other than a SB champ.  It's a culture team and has been for decades.  Underestimate them at your own peril. 

I just want to know why in the flying **** does ZT have practices like this where guys get hurt?

I get wanting to win, but he keeps grinding these guys down in meaningless practices.

Higgins hurt in a Thurs practice? Jenkins needing thumb surgery?.... Both out of nowhere.

It's because the Chiefs use TEs and RBs extremely efficiently and we depend on guys that want to make 35 mil a year and miss 3-5 games a season.  The Reid system is hugely qb friendly.  Their productive players are a stud TE making a hell of a lot less than Chase wants (but is also 10X a more dependable) plus a 7th round pick in Pacheco.  Our system relies on hero ball, no run game and getting our qb's brains beat out in obvious pass situations.  QB dependent, not friendly. 

We get held hostage by divas while Kelce fights for his right to PAAAAAARTY with the most famous human on the planet, laughing his ass off.  

This shit is a joke and we have incredibly unserious turds torpedoing our season while KC rolls and gets ready to fit yet another set of rings.  Pick the 7th pass Catcher in the draft and make him look like Steve Smith while our guys nurse anal ruptures over money.

Stone had the 2nd most interceptions in the league last season, and Clowney had 9.5 sacks. That’s a lot of production that walked out the door. Not to mention losing their DC.

If I had this outlook going into the first game of the season before a single snap ANY YEAR I think I would get a new hobby.

It’s amazing how good we are with a healthy Joe. 3-1 vs your favorite team the Chiefs. It’s amazing how good we are with a much worse OL than KC. We’d use a great TE if we had one. Pissy mood are we.

Play dumb all you want.  KC has an all time qb and an all time system.  We have an all time qb blowing his career on diva shitbags who are sitting out game 1 over money.  Their system is diva proof.  Ours is good enough vs a bottom feeder like NE.  KC will violate us if these contract cartoon shenanigans continue into week 2.  Healthy Joe minus and invested ja'marr and Tee is a major question mark.  Those guys don't seem to want to play a lot of football this year.  They'd rather malinger.  Meanwhile Travis Swift is fighting for his right and whatnot alongside Worthy and Pacheco.

This is clown shit before kickoff on day one.

I might.  2 of the team's best 3 players would rather cry about money than suit up.  Recipe for losing.  This season's juju is absolute dog shit and everyone knows it.

One stubbed toe and these two turds are done along with our season.  Money Money Money.  Nobody here other than Joe wants a Lombardi.

Yep, because he took such a team-friendly deal to free up cash for other players..
