Honestly let Bates walk and double down on OL money.  Go with an impact LB with the extra space.

I definitely think this is the mindset to come away with from this game. Come back or not, KC are primed for right now. We are a team who should be scary moving forward. Coming this far was definitely ahead of schedule. Teams go ahead of schedule often of course, but this experience will be vital for when we are 'all in'.

Bills were #1 D across the board, they should have won but lost, it's asking a lot of our defense lol.

Our offense had/has to win this game, with Uzomah out, I don't know how.

He threw 2 balls that should have been picked in the first game. Our DB's had it in their hands but didn't hold on. One of those was on the drive where the Chiefs scored their second TD.

They scored 42 on Pittsburgh and Buffalo the last 2 weeks. Apparently there are no legit defenses on the planet.

Maybe Lou thinks he’s getting a head coaching job, lol

The O line is holding at will like they play in Pissburgh. They flat out tackled Hendrickson on several plays already

Probably, but we will never know since we couldn't hear a single thing that was said.

It's quite possible they laid out the way to bring about world peace, but unfortunately that wisdom could not be passed to the world.

I've been pushing hard for a RT late first round...now I'm thinking pass rusher lol.


PS Saints are in cap trouble they have a really good IDL Rusher they might trade to drop cap.

DB’s need to play more physical of the refs aren’t going to call it. If they are going to make them call it repeatedly and make it embarrassing for them to keep throwing flags. Have to be more physical if they won’t call it.

They make you pay when they get a turnover, and when you should have gotten one of theirs lol. Seriously they are scoring TDs left and right it's insane, how are we expected to keep up?

If the Giants still hire him after this performance they deserve to continue to be a losing franchise. Lol

I still like Ossai, obviously if an elite one gel sure I just don’t see it. The value could be at corner though.

If they did the ref scouting report they would have known to start the game, betting the Chiefs knew. "KOBE"

That's where any offensive genius between Zac and Brian will be tested.  The last two years, Zac showed he was pretty stubborn with sticking to his plan, and if the players didn't fit it, they couldn't win.  This year, the team has been better and making adjustments, and he's had the roster.  Uzo out makes it interesting, but it's a good test.  

I've got my popcorn ready for the second half.  I still think the Bengals' D needs to make a statement and not leave this up to the offense alone.  

[Browns Town Bengal]

So what player is going to put what coach in a headlock at the half?

Losing Larry O's interior rush has really hurt.

Doesn't matter what happened in those games. IN THIS GAME had our D even just tackled like legit pros at least 2 of the TDs are not there.

Joe B is in the locker room dissecting their defense and getting ready to do damage in the second half.

Mahomes is checking Insta.
