2024-2025 is the only important season right now. After the season is over, then start thinking about 2025-2026.

I agree with this, but I’m guessing the owner response would be something akin to “it’s a slippery slope.” (Ie, how many other players are just *this* close to incentives who are now going to ask for them?)

I made a comment in that thread that he apparently cared more about $ than winning and it still stands true. Why else go to Tennessee of all teams?

It worked out amazingly though, we won the SB last year, then got Hopkins way cheaper for most of this season.

It’s not like we’re walloping teams in playoffs.

We’re winning in same fashion. Come backs and close victories.

It’s more like we adjust our level of play relative to the team we face than it is we use regular season as practice.

Chiefs 26 Dolphins 7
Chiefs 42 Steelers 21
Chiefs 38 Bills 24
Chiefs 31 49ers 20
Chiefs 35 Titans 24
Chiefs 51 Texans 31
Chiefs 31 Colts 13
Chiefs 30 Texans 0

THE CHIEFS CAN AND WILL BLOW YOUR ASS OUT IN THE PLAYOFFS DOOMER

ANDY REID HANGS NUTS IN THE POSTSEASON NOW KNEEL

99.99999% of players care more about money than winning.

Genuine question: Did he suit up today? I did not notice him once during our offensive snaps.

He was definitely out there.

I hope ur cat gets aids

This is apparently the first time he’s made it past the Divisional Round lol

I’m sure he wishes he contributed more but it’s probably nice to still be in play for a Super Bowl ring.

I think Worthy was the only WR to have a catch today

He was out there. He must be really injured because I thought they'd turn up his snaps in the playoffs but he was still rotating in and out all game

Unless he’s fast enough to run a jet sweep he’s not getting many targets with a guard playing tackle and a future shoe salesman playing guard

I'm a D Hop guy. Love him. But I didn't notice him so thought I'd ask the question before the snap counts comes out tomorrow

I predict he goes off next week!!!!

You got AIDs from a dirty needle. Not from sex though because you clearly ain't having any of that lmao.

Texans CBs are excellent.. There was a third down in the first half where Pat was talking to DHop in the huddle and I knew the play was coming to him.. DHop was blanketed and Patrick took a sack..

Lol. Yeah, can you imagine how much better we'd be right now if we still had Allegretti to fill in Thuney's spot?

However, Caliendo is a free agent this offseason, and there's a reasonable chance some team is stupid enough to give him enough money to get us a 7th round comp pick.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Props for even knowing Caliendo’s contract status…I guess

Sorry didn't mean to downvote. Agree Pat was rattled by the pass rush and rate time to look down field. Not Mahomes best though either

Let me guess...it's a 1 year minimum salary deal.

For sure

We can probably put to rest the jizzing over [insert literally any WR name] midseason pickup with Pat’s trust issues

Fortunately his connection with Kelce is still intact

Brown/hopkins/gray were no shoes and we still won not bad

Kelce is still the sole of this team

I see what you did there, and I like it.

:thumb:

He helped pour out an eye cup of CJ tears for his drafting team

I thought the same but apparently his snap count in Tennessee was even lower than it has been here.

Disappointed to not see him more involved today but as long as we’re winning…

Maybe it was a matchup thing. Either way it won’t surprise me to see him flash more in the games ahead.

At least the reason for his dip in production is largely because our rookie has taken flight.

16 snaps

Justin Watson needs more snaps

I get the sense that they didn’t think this game could go sideways, and they were mostly right, but 16 snaps is not enough.

JuJu had more snaps than Hop. Didn't see that one happening.

Why is juju getting more snaps? Different role? I can't imagine they trust him more. Id be interested in the red zone passing snaps for him.

Also lol Joshua Williams plays well in a starting role and then gets turned back into special teams meat

Let the coaches do their job, but damn, they REEEEALLY don't like that guy

Yeah, he was a stud this season

16 snaps for Hopkins is baffling. Hollywood got a decent amount but expect more next week. Juju shouldn't have more snaps. Make it make sense

Juju is a great blocker as well. That’s probably a part of why he got more snaps. Can’t believe Hollywood had 34 snaps. Was only targeted once. Either Hollywood, and Hopkins just can’t beat their coverages, or they’re just not a big part of the gameplan.

We thought they were saving this guy for something and trying to keep the compensation low, but it turns out he just isn’t that good anymore and/or Andy just has little use for him. Can’t say I’m surprised, it’s always what happens when we bring these veteran dudes in during the season.

Hope we have enough next week.

I get we’re not allowed to question them, but if they play Johnson over Williams again next week and it costs us big like it very well could, shit is going to hit the fan over that one. It makes zero sense and there simply isn’t justification for it.

They are using him to block on plays. He is not getting more targets than DHop,

Loved that movie.

Looking forward to DHop & Brown having a huge AFCCG. Another milestone on the way to winning this year's Super Bowl.

He was in there to block for Worthy and he is a big reason he is able to pick up some YAC on those short passes.

Hmmm.. There may be a reason Kelce had a big day.. Maybe the Texans with their elite corners decided to take away our WRs?? Hmmmm.. Bad move on their part..

His body language seems awfully telling. He might just be used up, who knows.

I'd sure like to see him make at least one big highlight reel catch deep in the end zone or on the sideline where you know only a guy like him was capable of bringing it in while keeping his toes off the line.

He signed a two year 26 million dollar deal with the Titians. His Chiefs' cap hit is 1/10th that. Maybe it fair play for pay

I think this is part of it. Will be interesting to see what the film shows.

Yeah I agree with this, too actually! 4 ****ing snaps is way too little. He needs about 12-15 so that he can actually contribute.

This guy is a Ford focus with 250,000 miles on it

Hopkins isn't washed up. Wtf are some of you talking about?

.

??? He's had 41 just for the Chiefs.

Yeah he's not washed up guys! His production has only sharply declined and he's on the wrong side of 30. CP talent evaluations LMAO

Oh caught ya before you could edit it. You stupid ****ing bitch. Dumb little meth head. He had 56 catches for 610 yards and 5 YDs. He had 15 catches for the Titans, dumb ****.

Anyone who's watched him and thought he's washed up is clearly just a tweaker.

Hey good catch closest you've came close to being right in months

Yeah 0 catchs last game 2 before thar he's clearly still got it at 32 years old despite his production declining every year for the past few seasons. Same guy who thought coach drink should be fired LMAO

Can still get you to the 7/11 so Frankie’s mom can suck the dick

Not washed. Hollywood didn’t do anything either. Is he washed? Texans defense dictated what we could do. We just decided to take what was there with our oline situation and not press things, Texans defense been feasting on turnovers lately and that’s what we were avoiding.

I think people are underappreciating the Texans DB's as to how good they really are, which effectively neutralized the receivers.

Their weakness was the middle of the field, and Travis being Travis exploited that. Not too concerned about the WR's being little to non-existent.

Or maybe another consideration should be taken is that they respect Hop and/or Hollywood too much, that allowed Travis to have the one-on-one matchups? Either way, it's pick your poison.

I still don't understand why we are playing Johnson over Williams at CB.

Damn Justin Watson is no more now that hollywood is back

Eh, chiefs had the least amount of passing yards against the Texans since week 8 when they faced the Anthony Richardson colts. The passing offense was awful yesterday, no excuses.

Wait, what? You of all people want Justin Watson to get more snaps?

Who are you, and what have you done with the real dilphag9?

Hollywood was open on that first drive Mahomes missed the throw. Hollywood also dropped a 60 yard pass too. Hopkins was invisible because hes at the end of the road

ya Stingley was all pro and I guess they just locked our WR's down. Pat only completed passes to 4 people, Worthy being the only receiver to do anything at all.

But Kelce was open, that probably factored into that.

Short field

It’s very clear they want the speed of Worthy and Brown out there as much as possible.

But it’s odd that Hopkins played less than JuJu. Hope he’s ok.

It is odd that he didn't play much at all.

I doubt he's coming back next year tbh, maybe we can bring in Brown on the same deal he had this year or something.

I respectfully disagree. Houston has elite cornerback duo of Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter as well as the edge rushers of Anderson Jr. and Hunter. The Chiefs instead went to pick on slot cornerback Myles Bryant and linebackers To'oTo'o and Al-Shaair.

It was a great game plan, and it was conditional on having an elite pass-catching tight end, which Kelce is.

I have always said that I don't mind Justin Watson when he is getting 20-30% of the snaps and that's when we get the best value from him. I have a problem when he's playing over 65% of the snaps.

The only thing I can think is that Hopkin's knee is hurting him.

I just think they like Hollywood and Worthy more than him. I think they love JuJus (and Watsons) blocking to have him in on alot of plays where he isn't the top option.

There is no reason to believe he is injured. And it is a disservice for the media to keep citing his grade 2 MCL tear from October. A grade 2 MCL tear is a 4 to 6 week injury and does not usually need surgery. Its possible he injured something else but his MCL probably healed long ago.

DHop ran an out route and it just looked slowwwwww

He's either hurt or cooked.

Saw him 1 v 1 on a third down , pat was looking at him waiting for him to get open but he was blanketed and pat took a sac , should have been an easy slant or out and he looked like he had no juice.

So, whats his cap number if we keep him?

He was a hail mary anyway. Brown is the difference maker. Wonder if you could get him back for $10 million?

Perine.... 11 plays/22% Would like to see him with more playing time in the offense this week.

eh, watch the A-22. There's nothing really wrong with DHop as far as I can tell. Pat just never really looked in his direction, except twice. In Pat's defense, they doubled DHop pretty much every snap he was out there.
