I don't want to give up on this current squad, but I think the evidence is clearly there that this isn't a Super Bowl caliber team.

There's plenty of reason for optimism heading into next season.

What kind of cap room are we working with?

What free agent WR's are likely to be available?

Talk about it here.

We need to go 3-1 to make the playoffs. We’ll probably get to the playoffs but we need our Iteam to start playing lights out football right now or we’re one and done. I still love ❤️ my favorite football team, The Kansas City Chiefs regardless how we finish this year.

This is not a superbowl team. I'd be surprised if they could win 1 playoff game at this point.

The team is solid except for the WR room which needs a complete overhaul.
Fuck speed, bring in some smart WR's who are willing to put in the work with Mahomes and who have a really low drop rate. If a WR can't catch, he is useless.... don't care how fast he is.

I don’t think it’s too early. This team isn’t a contender.

Of course you can always reel off a few wins, but there’s no reason to suspect that we will given that we’re losing to .500 teams

Yes and no.

This team can absolutely put it together for a run. The opponents they are facing give them all kinds of chances.

Beyond that I think one of the reasons I am not more mad is I see our window as wide open and our problems as very fixable in one off season.

Way too early. We saw tonight they are capable of beating their best AFC competition. They outgained them and more yards per play. Every week they are beating themselves with penalties, drops and turnovers. It's not like there is some big talent gap with the Ravens, Dolphins or Bills (who they beat). You really scared of Lamar in the playoffs?

I'm not giving up on the damn season. We outplayed the Eagles for 95% of that game. We should've beat Buffalo again. We should've beat Detroit without Kelce or Chris Jones. We made a ton of mistakes to lose to the Broncos. Nobody in the AFC is so good that the Chiefs can't go into their house and beat them. We've already beaten Miami and Jacksonville on the road and in a neutral stadium.

If the team keeps shooting themselves in the foot with dumb drops, penalties, or fumbles, then so be it. Just play a clean game and you give yourself a good chance to win against anyone.

Do you remember when we knew how every season with Alex would end?

In your heart of hearts, you knew. And the big games during the regular season always ended almost exactly the same way.

We know how this season ends.

It won't get easier for our shit-fucking WRs or sorry-ass run defense in the playoffs and definitely not on the road.

Every playoff team is capable of scoring 20 points and that's unfortunately all it takes to beat the Chiefs in 2023.

Yes it’s too early. We are a playoff team with the best qb ever to play pretty much. Defense is legit. So we’ve always got a chance if we get our foot in the door. It will just take uncharacteristic focus and execution from the offense to capitalize.

First round bye is practically out of reach and the postseason is biased to reward the team that gets it with an easy road to the SB.

They get the two seed and draw the equivalent of the last Roethlisberger Steelers team in the wild card for an easy postseason win but it's pollyannaish to think they're going to reach the AFCCG.

The Niners are clearly better? Who else? Sure, we kinda suck, but it's not as if the other AFC teams are world beaters. Buffalo was a better than we were when we beat them in 2021 -- people act as if it was a given we'd make it to the AFC Championship all these years when every year we had scares.

Yes, there's plenty to be frustrated with but this faggotized giving up shit -- it's unbecoming of anyone with a modicum of testosterone.

You folks are deluding yourselves if you think we have a shot at repeating.

We don't even know if our best offensive weapon is going to be 100% in the playoffs.

The Bills aren't a particularly good defense, with 0 scary pass rushers, lost a starter at DE during the game, and they looked elite for a good portion of the afternoon.

If this offense has to play an elite defense it's curtains.

And the Chiefs probably win if Toney doesn't line up offside.

They're still a sloppy team. Every week it's the same sloppy mistakes. It's maddening.

There's nothing to say about the offseason we don't already know.

-Chris Jones will be likely gone.
-Extend Sneed
-Make a splash signing at WR
-Sign a really good DT
-Draft a WR in the first round
-Draft DT in the second
-Make a decision on Donavon Smith, Willie Gay, and Danna.

The rest is kind of peanuts. That's the offseason.

I'll believe it when I see it in the playoffs... wasn't long ago they went 14-2 with some nutty point differential and promptly shit down their leg in the playoffs.

Not saying they aren't better than that team or they can't contend for a SB, but it's just a different season once they get there.

Much like the Eagles last season... it's not like I thought they were trash, but it really wasn't until the first half of the Super Bowl playing a team like the Chiefs that I was like... yup, they're pretty good.

That's what Bills fans said about the Chiefs in 2021, and Bengals fans said about the Chiefs in 2022.

Yeah, the home/road doesn't matter.

Losing the BYE sucks but only one team gets it. We don't deserve the BYE.

A team can win three games and make the SB. Happens all the time. Wild card teams can make the SB.

The problem is they're playing their worst football late in the season. If they started 4-4 but are now 8-5, that would look much better. It's hard to see them putting it together.

Not giving up, but I’m anxiously waiting to see how Veach cleans up his own mess. Clark had better be ready to open up his pocket book and use cash spending to leverage our cap room and allow for a complete reset of the WR room. A 1st rd pick alone isn’t gonna cut it, and at this point someone like Mooney at WR isn’t enough for a veteran acquisition.

Veach had better figure it out

As if that hasn't been the case for the entire run. Both Cinci games, Buffalo 2021, Cleveland 2020. The NE loss. We are way down compared to last year, but where's the dominant team outside of SF? There isn't one.

I've been firmly in the WR are crap all year long but I think the SB race on the AFC side is wide open.

Yes, the Ravens look good but their playoff track record is bad. KC has traditionally done well against Lamar.

Miami has done nothing against good teams.

Kelce, Pacheco, and an ever improving Rice should be enough to make KC competitive in any AFC game in the playoffs.

Are they a shoo-in to make it? No, but I'm not sure there is a team I would pick over them.

As far as facing the NFC winner in the SB? Well, worry about that if they get there.

Way too early. We saw tonight they are capable of beating their best AFC competition. They outgained them and more yards per play. Every week they are beating themselves with penalties, drops and turnovers. It's not like there is some big talent gap with the Ravens, Dolphins or Bills (who they beat).

They are just like the Bills. Good enough to beat anyone but absolutely not good enough to win four playoff games in a row. I think that’s the disconnect people have. It’s hard to say they can’t make the Super Bowl against this level of competition because of their pedigree, but the chances they don’t have a carbon copy game to any of their four similar losses are zero.

The only time I remember it lately was the Raiders game and it flipped in a big way... it was like Mahomes and Kelce told each other, fuck it, we're doing this and immediately got on the same page, Mahomes started flinging it like days of old (uh, last year), Rice ended with 100 yards.

And I thought, sweet... yeah, it's just the Raiders, but if that's what they can look like, they can flip that switch come playoff time (and was figuring they'd do it today, too).

Besides the Mahomes-Kelce connection, it obviously doesn't seme like they're cohesive enough to fuck around and then confidently strut into the playoffs and do their thing. They only needed one warmup game last year heading into the playoffs, and that made sense.

They should probably use the rest of the month this year.

From the opening snap last year this team looked like it had something to prove. They had a fire in them that showed through the year. They were hungry and had the right demeanor. A team on a mission.

This year they look like they got cocky. They are eating too much of their own shit and things got out of hand. The HC who is notoriously out of the loop starts doing more commercials, Taylor Swift comes to town.

The leaders of this team haven't been as focused this season. They'll still win this division IMO and they'll likely win the first WC game but they'll play the Jags or Dolphins in the divisional rd and get beat. And they'll deserve it.

None of us can stomach getting another 31-9 sphincter wrench in the big one.

And today guaranteed we won't be doing the walk of sadness through the Truman Sports Complex in 5 degree weather, which I've done three times now and it never gets easier.

We'll get a nice consolation WC prize, a little playoff experience for the rookies, and watch the Chiefs get eliminated in Baltimore or Miami in front of our TVs, warm in our robes, draft guide at the ready.

Good show, Chiefs. You played hard. You got as far as you deserved and didn't embarrass yourselves that much.

We'll more than likely still be able to laugh at Philly, Tyreek, Buffalo and/or Cincy.

It's better this way.

This feels like the type of season where we finally play a road playoff game, against a perceived lesser team, and lose. The offense isn’t good enough to overcome miscues like in years past, and the defense, despite being mostly good, can’t be expected to continuously stop the opposing team, especially when gifted a short field.

It’s been said all year that the offense would get better, the drops cleaned up, the penalties reduced, and the turnovers eliminated. But the fact remains that every one of those things continues to define the 2023 Chiefs week-to-week. With 4 regular season games remaining it seems like a huge stretch to believe it will change, especially given the personnel involved.

The winner of MIA-BAL.

Today proved plus talent at WR can give the Ravens defense a lot of problems.

Whoever wins that game, goes to Las Vegas.

To get curb stomped.

Tua with zero career playoff wins and who we were up on 21-0 on a neutral field? I'm sorry but you are being an absolute bitch.

Its never as bad as it seems and never as good as it seems. If Toney steps 1 foot back and our defense closes out that game with 1 minute left the perception of this team is completely different.

The AFC is wide open. Having to go on the road could very well be a good thing for this team.

We emptied the tank defensively on them and still had to hang on like grim death to win that game after getting a massive lead.

Miami will beat us by 17 if we play them again.

And their defense is getting better as we approach the playoffs.

Miami ain't it for me. I'd have more faith in the Bengals if they got in than Miami. Those guys are still hungry as hell after the last few years and the team is a force even without Burrow.

I like the Bills talent too but they are so poorly coached (they had no business even being in a close game today the way they outplayed us and gave us multiple chances to come back to win) that I can't trust them.

Miami has much to prove.

They have two pretty good cracks at it before the playoffs.

I'd lean BAL but MIA has so much speed anything can happen.

I also know the Chiefs have zero chance to prove anything in the same time frame. They're expected to win all four games, and if they don't win all four easily, we'll all be feeling our sphincters tighten on that first third down in the wild card.

As of right now? Baltimore is my pick. They are far more built for this than Miami. They don’t need Jackson at his best to beat Miami while the Dolphins will need Tua at his best against the Ravens. I just can’t see Miami going into Baltimore in January and knocking the Ravens off.

100% it's why the loss of quality WRs was clearly a very bad decision. This offense isn't feared in the least; this group isn't even good enough to avoid a silly "lined-up offsides" penalty. Nevermind that it wasn't called when they were, but that's just how the NFL officials are trained to call gmes.

I wouldn't have thought that to be the case, but after simulating it I realized it doesn't take any crazy scenarios to get there.

Phins Schedule:

Cowboys Home: 50/50
Ravens Away: 50/50
Bills Home: 50/50

Whats up with Miami having 4 of the last 5 games at home? I still think going 3-2 could easily happen for them.

Ravens Schedule:
Jags Away: 50/50
49ers Away: L
Phins Home: 50/50
Steelers Home: W

Again I could see them going (2-2) during these last 4 games.

Now Chiefs:
Pats Away: W
Raiders Home: W
Bengals Home: 50/50

Of course AFC West games can be tricky no matter the record but I think this boils down to Bengals. We should win out but lets see what happens.

The Chiefs have the youngest defense in football and will no doubt reload in the offseason for another run.

You are giving up. Listen to the way you’re talking, like the season is over..

Tell me, what Super Bowl winner from the last 10 years was certain to win it all in December?

2022: We lost to the Bengals in December and knew we’d have to go through them in the playoffs
2021: The Rams lost 3 straight games to close out November. That looked like the Bills’ year.
2020: The Buccaneers were a Wild Card. It looked like the Chiefs would win it all that year easily.
2019: At one point Mahomes’ knee was sticking out the side of his leg. It took us recovering from three different 10-point deficits to win it all that year.
2018: The Patriots lost 2 games in December this year, including hilariously fumbling the 1 seed to the Chiefs.
2017: The Eagles lost their MVP QB in December
2015: The Broncos started Brock Osweiler and the corpse of Peyton Manning
2014: The Patriots lost 2 games after Thanksgiving
2013: The Seahawks were starting a second year QB. It took holding the best offense ever to just 8 points in order to win it all.

By my estimation, the only one I’d say had the inside track was the 2016 Patriots and even they were down 28-3 at one point to the Falcons.

I’m not giving up until the clock hits 0:00 and we’re down in a playoff game. Take that weak ass shit somewhere else.

You are giving up. Listen to the way you’re talking, like the season is over..



Hell, a few people were gloating in the GDT when it was 14-0... that's how self-important they feel when predicting doom every season. They'd much rather predict doom, be right, and then rub it in people's faces than simply be optimistic (even without making any predictions).

No idea how they consider themselves fans, speaking only of ~5 and probably not even 10 of the worst chicken littles.

Yeah, there's only a handful of them but they're the loudest ones in the room at all times. Then they start to swing the opinions of some of the folks who have a hard time forming their own thoughts as opposed to just posting memes all day.

Just an honor to bring home another AFC West Title and play in the postseason.

For the #1 we need to win out(4-0) and Ravens (2-2), Phins (3-2).

Phins Schedule:
Titans Home: W
Jets Home: W
Cowboys Home: 50/50
Ravens Away: 50/50
Bills Home: 50/50

Whats up with Miami having 4 of the last 5 games at home? I still think going 3-2 could easily happen for them.

Ravens Schedule:
Jags Away: 50/50
49ers Away: L
Phins Home: 50/50
Steelers Home: W

Again I could see them going (2-2) during these last 4 games.

Now Chiefs:
Pats Away: W
Raiders Home: W
Bengals Home: 50/50
Chargers Away: W

Of course AFC West games can be tricky no matter the record but I think this boils down to Bengals. We should win out but lets see what happens.

At this point I don't think they're overly focused on anything but their next game and getting better. That's it, and that's all they can do, nothing more, but nothing less.

I think the whole organization knows they're in deep trouble right now and each and every person on the payroll has a large task in front of them if they want to be competitive in this year's playoffs.

They all need to look in the mirror and understand the person they're looking as is part of this team and part of the solution.

Coach better, play better, win. That's the only way forward.

It’s so weird.

We spent 30 years knowing we were at a disadvantage just hoping to make it to the postseason where” anything can happen!”

Now we’ve got the best coach-QB combo in the league with, by far, the most postseason experience in the league and mfs want to give up before a single snap is played in January.

Some of us haven’t given up on an 8-5 season when we’re in 1st place in our division, the 3rd seed in the conference, with a HOF QB, a HOF coach, and the 1 or 2 seed well within our reach.

I mean, if you want to write off what will likely be a 12-5 team led by Mahomes/Reid/Kelce and a top 5ish defense, because you're convinced that they're going to make a silly mistake at a crucial moment, that's your prerogative. I'm guessing this is mostly schtick though.

At least two or three of the games we lost came down to a single play/mistake.

We can still buckle down and win the SB.

The Chiefs make silly mistakes all throughout the game, dude.

That's why they are lucky to score 20 points in a game these days.

It's what they do. It's not changing.

This is as weak as the AFC has been in recent memory. There are no dominant teams. Baltimore and Miami are going to take some lumps the last month of season and perhaps sustain some serious injuries in some of those physical games.

If we were in the NFC right now with San Fran, Dallas and
Philly I'd be concerned. Im sorry though I'm not gonna sit here and say I dont think we can get through a stretch
consisting of say Denver, Jacksonville, @Baltimore (or similar depending on how the standings shake up come January).

They've also beaten two of the top contenders in the AFC.

Sorry if I'm not ready to match everybody's negativity about a team that could/should have 1-2 losses max. If they were getting rolled, couldn't move the ball, couldn't stop anybody, etc, I'd probably throw in the towel too. We're far from that. Literally all they have to do is avoid dumb penalties and costly turnovers.

You're welcome to believe whatever you want. I haven't given up by I'm always on Team Reality and the reality is you don't win Super Bowls now without legit NFL WR's. Maybe we catch a few good matchups and move on to AFC Championship. I will always cheer for the win but this roster is just flawed.

You sign big Michael Pittman and you have two beasts dominating the middle of the field with Kelce. Then you add speed at WR for another vet signing then head to the draft to add more weapons.

You are giving up. Listen to the way you’re talking, like the season is over..

Tell me, what Super Bowl winner from the last 10 years was certain to win it all in December?

2022: We lost to the Bengals in December and knew we’d have to go through them in the playoffs
2021: The Rams lost 3 straight games to close out November. That looked like the Bills’ year.
2020: The Buccaneers were a Wild Card. It looked like the Chiefs would win it all that year easily.
2019: At one point Mahomes’ knee was sticking out the side of his leg. It took us recovering from three different 10-point deficits to win it all that year.
2018: The Patriots lost 2 games in December this year, including hilariously fumbling the 1 seed to the Chiefs.
2017: The Eagles lost their MVP QB in December
2015: The Broncos started Brock Osweiler and the corpse of Peyton Manning
2014: The Patriots lost 2 games after Thanksgiving
2013: The Seahawks were starting a second year QB. It took holding the best offense ever to just 8 points in order to win it all.

By my estimation, the only one I’d say had the inside track was the 2016 Patriots and even they were down 28-3 at one point to the Falcons.

I’m not giving up until the clock hits 0:00 and we’re down in a playoff game. Take that weak ass shit somewhere else.

I have a lot more faith in KC's ability to line up properly and not fumble six times/game than in a QB suddenly changing his stripes.

That’s where I am with it. I will say that as long as KC is in the playoffs they will be dangerous until beaten or winning it all. But they can’t afford to continually play as sloppy and expect to make much noise.
