The Jags and KC are legit I believe, that Mahomes ! Defense their weak link.

But I think we can be right in it. Need to win 1 of these next two road games. I think we can beat Carolina

I've been wondering for awhile who the next elite QB's will be. None of the newer guys have really been blowing me away. I think Mahomes has a good shot to be that guy. Reid is a great coach to learn under as well.

Good point. Any time your pass rush can force a team to change their offense, that's good. That said, opposing offenses are having some success with those adjustments, seeing how we've given up 23 in both games. I think we'll be fine, but we could certainly get better at stopping this dinky stuff. Otherwise teams have an easy way to get points while neutralizing our pass rush all year.
