This feels like a 24-7 type half of play. The 16-7 is disappointing, but at least the Saints didn't get an extra possession in 1st half, while Chiefs may in the 2nd. Just need to put one in EZ on first drive in 3rd

Mahomes on pace for 300+ yards passing

Who was that gigantic guy on the pregame show? I never saw his name. He made Jason Kelce look like Dante hall.

Called it.

I was at a game that first drive of the game due to penalties Mahomes threw for like 130 yards and a TD on that drive alone LMAO.

Pretty sure it was against the Texans.

What can Pat do to un**** himself with the pocket?

He’s never struck me as someone particularly scared of contact.

Not sure why he can’t chill out more back there.

Stalling at the end is more indicative of time than red zone struggles.

With no timeouts, the Saints only have to defend part of the field and the endzone.

They know we can’t run or attack the middle of the field.

400

Yeah, it's really disappointing when we're winning a game.

Given our lack of weapons on O, I’ll gladly take the 16-7 halftime lead, even with the RZ issues.

We outgained them by over 160 yards that half; it really should be a blowout right now

It was. I was there for that one.

Glad to see Juju getting some action. He’s great at finding soft spots in zone.

Nice half ZERO turnovers. Moved the ball. Nice clock management. Only one defensive breakdown. Stopping the run. Let's go!!!!!

Players are getting open. Pat's not seeing them, continues to leave the pocket when he doesn't need to and that's causing him not to process the plays well. He needs to play the game at a slower pace. Trust your line, have patience, scope the length of the field. It's all there for the taking. He is not seeing the field well. It's maddening how this continues.

Did Chris Jone's manhood make an appearance?

After Q2:

First Downs - Chiefs: 15, Saints: 5
Third/Fourth Down Efficiency - Chiefs: 4 for 8, Saints: 2 for 5
Total Plays - Chiefs: 44, Saints: 22
Total Yards - Chiefs: 277, Saints: 112
Yards Per Play - Chiefs: 6.3, Saints: 5.1
Yards Per Pass - Chiefs: 7.5, Saints: 6.1
Yards Per Rush - Chiefs: 4.2, Saints: 3.4
Penalties - Chiefs: 3 for 25, Saints: 2 for 15
Turnovers - Chiefs: 0, Saints: 1
Time of Possession - Chiefs: 19.29, Saints: 10:31

SCORE - Chiefs: 16, Saints: 7

Saints have 69 yards on 21 plays (3.3 ypp) and the one bomb for the TD for the rest. Keep them locked down vs the run and start getting after Carr in the second half.

Let's come out in the second half and get 7 to put some distance between us and New Orleans.

P.S. Royals up 4-1 in the start of the 7th.

Saints have a good defense. Chief fans should be pleased with that half.
Clean up the penalties, keep ball security priority no. 1.
We got this

LT is giving up pressure almost immediately on some downs. Doesn't seem to matter who we put there.

Nearly 300 yards of offense

Because he doesn't want to take a hit in a largely meaningless game that would end his season (and ours)

Seems simple enough

It’s really strange because it seemed like the game moved in slow motion for him in his first year starting.

And then as his career has gone on it seems like the game has sped up for him.

Not sure why but it’s bizarre.

Oh good. I'm not imagining things. There's so many folks on here saying Mahomes has no reason to not just sit in the pocket.

Offense looks like a couple years ago. Balanced. A bunch of Travis and a mix of whoever is open play 2 play. Excited watching this.. could have put up more points

430 actually. JuJu on pace for 130. Kelce on pace for 130. Kareem on pace for 100+ rushing.

His LT’s are getting him hit more so it’s speeding up his clock

He missed so many throws. So many. He has happy feet. Won't step up in the pocket. Doesnt trust either LT like at all.

Everyone adapting to stop him.

The whole league is playing 2 and 3 deep now.

Wow. Kareem is back and Fortson is back and now we get Chris Berman as well? Did I pass through a wormhole?

That's why my boner feels so familiar!

Seems like forever.

It was a crispy clean half and they can repeat it and win something like 33-17, that would be fantastic.

Mahomes and Worthy need to get a sense of rhythm....

He HATES taking hits. Absolutely hates it. Unless its the postszn.

That's why our games are close. They'll get it figured out.

Come out and hang 7 on the Saints.

Good Lord just listen to Belichik hating on KC

Give him an absolute who's who of defensive talent, with a micro-managing QB

Only way to play anywhere near as long as Brady is to avoid hits like Brady

430 at this rate.

If we had Rice and Hollywood this would be a blowout win

Never a doubt.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel... the Saints have been a ****ing mess outside of one play on offense, Mahomes is on pace for a 430 yard game and Hunt a 100 yard game on the ground, and they have zero turnovers.

And 16 points.

It's not freaking out to say if someone saw those stats at halftime, they'd guess the Chiefs had 21+ points, if not 30 by now.... I also think they're comfortably leading unless Carr just goes off in the 2nd half, which I'm not expecting at all to happen.

Spags lives rent-free in Carr's head.

If that's the case it's curious that he took such a big hit running in the middle of the field earlier.

He definitely is bailing the pocket at times but that's kind of always been his style.

Spoken like someone who has never been hit in the back by 300lbs lineman.

All your accomplishments are belong to us....

Pretty pleased with how the offense looked in the first half. Need to convert in the redzone but overall they moved the ball well on a good defense.

On pace to win 32-14 with 430 yards passing and 130 yards rushing, but people are not happy. Spoiled fanbase.

Go get 7 Chiefs

Since the Super Bowl.

That was a bad decision by him to take that hit and pretty out of character for him in the regular season these days

Right? It felt like a triple dip

He's a QB killer.

It wasn’t even the WR’s that were the problem.

Jawaan Penalty and the horrific play call Steel pitch to Worthy ruined 2 drives

Offense in a decent groove considering that half of the playmakers werent on the roster during the preseason. Lol

That FG was fine.

It’s the other two.

Of course one was a TD, stolen away by Trash Taylor.

You can wait 4 months.

The AFC is actively refusing to step up and challenge KC...

I think that LT giving up pressure on every play is giving Pat the yips.

WE DIDN'T GIVE UP A TOUCHDOWN ON THE FIRST DRIVE!!!

Steele's going to get tagged with a fumble in the stats for that play. I'm not sure that's completely fair, but I guess he should have just tucked the ball when he saw the defender coming.

Relegated to babbling on the sidelines. Fook dat twat.

that was actually one of the better 1st halfs this season, probably the best.

JuJu 5 catches 67 yards. 200 yards for Mahomes, Kelce 8 catches.

Double all of that for the next half!

Shutting down Kamara is the key.

Yeah im fine if he even has to give up the first down to stay healthy. He did it earlier in the game towards the sideline as well

Carr is easily the worst QB the Chiefs have faced so far this season.

Brady was able to avoid hits while still having good pocket presence.

There’s a way to do both that Pat needs to figure out.

Do NOT like Steele returning kicks.

Hunt is the thicker better picker-upper...

Steele makes me more nervous than Hardman does when touching the ball

I think your feed is lagging a bit.

Andy does not call many plays that develop that quick. Not with regularity.

Came out too conservative with a chance to step on their throats

Hunt just tearing them up

Is it that Pat isn't seeing the field or that he's protecting the ball and not trusting the protection from the LT

Run run run first down

Wear 'em down.

He's got a lot to look forward to.

Great job OL and Kareem in short yardage

3 running plays. First down

Deep shot now.

That little jump cut to get through was something we really missed
