Now go back to sucking your uncle's dick

you are such a mental defect that you don’t realize you are making a Strawman Argument.

Also please refrain from divulging how you pass the time with your male relatives... TMI.

You know as each game goes along I get more nervous and I'm ready to lock myself into a closet with just a radio. But now I'm thinking what the hell? Why not just enjoy the ride.

I think it was well done because he was trying to speak to old and new fans. This is like when we got Montana and a bunch of bandwagoners.

We've been flat out bad on offense all year long when we have a commanding lead. We can blame that all on defense. But it takes an offense to stop moving to allow teams to catch up too. Our bad defense shouldn't distract from the fact that our offense routinely fails in the same exact situational circumstance over and over again. I think most logical people know why this is. But let's just say... Until we fix this, the offense isn't without blame.

Is Andy one of those reeruns that can't perform or make his unit perform unless his back is against the wall? Because that's dumb. REAL ****ing dumb.

I think SD doesn't even sniff victory with these two in the lineup.

Losing Hunt is still huge, especially in January.

Alright folks time to lock this thread. "Cum swilling douche" is one of those once in a generation creations. Nothing better could come from this thread after that one

Having Mahomes should give the Chiefs a chance every year, but as we've seen with Rodgers and the Pack, that alone isn't enough.

I don't have much confidence that the Chiefs will put enough around him for the next decade.

I think you are overreacting because of “history”

We’re getting Berry, Watkins, LDT, and Erving back at thecright time going into the postseason.

Just think if Earl Thomas didn’t break his leg...

I've been out of the loop. What's the latest on Watkins and the OL guys?

I almost feel like it's the opposite. We race out early and club the opponents like baby seals, and then when we need a couple of drives to eat clock, we burn 14 seconds off and then punt.

So then stop eating clock and run the score up. Whatever Reid feels is a "good lead"? He needs to add a minimum of two TD's to that number, and don't stop even then.

There IS NO "comfortable lead" with Coach Eeyore Buttontail in the house. Ever.

Watkins: out this week, expected to rest until playoffs to get to 100%

Erving: back, will play Sunday

Schwartz: back to practice, expected to play

LDT: still on IR, seen Thursday working off to the side individually. Would seem he is preparing to try to come back for the playoffs

Would be awesome if they are all back to 90% or better for playoffs. Likewise with Tyreek, Ware, and Berry.

Yep. However I would not count on potato chip Sammy Watkins. Dude is worthless.

Hammock Parties · 12-21-2018, 03:06 AM

It's going to be absolutely huge to have our original starting OL back for the playoffs. LDT might be the best pass blocking RG in football.

MMXcalibur · 12-21-2018, 04:17 AM

Nope. Not going to open myself up to another playoff dagger in the heart.

LINK: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/sp...223324950.html ARTICLE: Spoiler! BY SAM MELLINGER December 19th, 2018 This will be hard for some of you to understand. That’s not said negatively. Just factually. Because some of you came to follow the Chiefs because of Patrick Mahomes. Which is fine. Kansas City is not accustomed to rooting for trendy teams. These are strange times we live in. But here’s a quick primer for those who started rooting for the Chiefs once they began playing a wizard at quarterback: Your new team is a habitual heartbreaker. The darkness in the stories you hear from your new brothers and sisters is real. They are not whining. They are speaking their truth. And, you know, while we’re on the topic, here’s something for those of you who fell in love with this team long ago — you’ve never cheered for a team like this. More specifically, you’ve never cheered for a quarterback like this. You know that, of course. That’s been obvious since Week 17 of last year, if not earlier. But if last week’s loss shook your confidence, it’s worth pointing something out. If this same Chiefs team — flaws and strengths, studs and duds — wore different uniforms and played in a different city, you would be jealous. If this Chiefs team wore Colts uniforms, for instance, you would be terrified with all the scenarios of Mahomes driving a figurative knife through your metaphorical heart with a game-winning drive capped by a Tarkenton scramble with a sack-avoiding cartwheel and left-handed no-look pass threading four defenders. This is, basically, what Kansas City has waited decades to see. The Chiefs have the best quarterback in a league that’s never been more dominated by quarterbacks. They have the best offense in a league teaching fans who can’t remember the 2000 Baltimore Ravens that, actually, Offense Wins Championships. These Chiefs have lost three games, by a total of seven points, each literally or essentially coming down to the final play. They are 3-2 against teams currently holding an AFC playoff spot, with two of those wins on the road. The losses came against the New England Patriots, who have lost three of five, and the Los Angeles Chargers, who lost to the Chiefs at home and have led the Chiefs for just 4 of 7,200 seconds this season. The Chiefs have flaws. Oh brother, they’ve got flaws. They have a defense fronted by Chris Jones and Dee Ford and Justin Houston with a solid group of cornerbacks and they’re still somehow terrible. They have averaged 39.7 points in their losses. The defense scored or set up three touchdowns and the offense gave up two touchdowns in those losses, but still. If you can’t relax with 40 points, you can’t ever relax. This team has problems keeping its quarterback clean, and has consistently amplified its problems tackling (worst among projected AFC playoff teams, according to Pro Football Focus) by being the NFL’s most penalized team. So even without a playoff collapse presented in regular season form last week, you wouldn’t have to think too hard to come up with ugly scenarios. But the AFC lacks a singularly dominant team. Usually, when that happens, the fallback logic is that the hottest team wins. Well, the Chiefs are well-positioned to be that team with a win this weekend in Seattle. The Seahawks are a terrible matchup for the Chiefs, the league’s best rushing team against the worst rush defense. But they are also beatable, and a home underdog against the team so many here in Kansas City are freaking out about. Win this weekend and no matter what the Chargers do the Chiefs can clinch another AFC West title and first-round bye with a win over the Raiders in week 17 (the NFL’s version of a layup). Do all of that and they will be going into the playoffs with the league’s best quarterback and offense, and a defense that is at least getting healthier and presumably a little better with the return of safety Eric Berry. That’s enough to fight with. Look, the Chiefs might ruin your January. That is in play. Berry could be injured at any moment, a two-score lead disintegrated in 5 minutes, and a badly timed penalty or missed kick will stir up a lot of ghosts. The new fans will be quick learners on that. Welcome to the heartbreak, suckers. But the longtime fans can learn something here. Meet in the middle. Open your eyes, and see a quarterback and team capable of scoring an average of 37.7 points against six projected playoff teams. Unless you are old enough to remember 1969, this is the closest the team you root for has ever resembled the team you’ve wanted it to be. If you’re giving up hope because of one loss in a year without a dominant team, well, nobody can fault you for protecting your heart. But they might also ask a simple question. What are you waiting for?
