The Chiefs couldn't beat any Play-Off Teams or 49ers in Super Bowl....BUT THEY DID. ...They did not get beat by all these teams said to have great runners and great defense. Chiefs are well coached like Patriots were. Mahomes and Kelce are the new Brady and Gronk.Those are all good points, thanks Kevin. Kelce is our biggest problem imo. We have plenty of speed in the secondary to cover their track team. Last time we played them, we didn't have Peters or Jimmy Smith. But Kelce is a different animal. Our LBs and safeties did a nice job against him and he still beat us.
I was rooting for Chiefs in play-offs. They were never suppose to win. THEY DID. Bengals Fans saw rookie Mahomes score at will on Bengals in 2018. Running teams that fall behind Chiefs are like Woody Hayes when he fell behind, in deep quick sand. It becomes like Woody against Alabama or UCLA when running teams fall behind to Chiefs. They discover Reid has some Defense and Reid has some runners. Reid has a great team.
Don't underestimate our passing offense though. I know most of you don't get to see the Ravens play regularly but trust me it's very good. Lamar keeps improving and Hollywood is healthy. LJ's numbers downfield & outside the numbers are great through two games. You can tell he worked hard on that. We have a lot of speed on offense. The biggest headache for us on that side of the ball is Chris Jones. Our interior Oline is good not great, no more Yanda.
LJ gets knocked for not being able to come back when we're down but did you know we haven't trailed in the 2nd half in 14 straight regular season games? Tough to come back when you're always ahead.
I was rooting for the Chiefs last year too because I like Mahomes & Andy Reid; although it was hard to watch after we blew our chance.
Side note: Not allowed to participate in JN but I really hope you guys make a move and get at least one interior olineman right now. Not just for Burrow's health but to let him develop properly. You have assets and aren't winning a SB this year so trade somebody. Forget about the defense and focus on oline. Your WRs are deep, trade one for a good guard and a draft pick. Try not to be sentimental. If someone wants AJ, Geno or Dunlap, make the move. Burrow's most important by far! I'd want to get him some help ASAP.
