Don’t care about the OL. It will be better when it matters…like last year. The defense will be better when it matters like Spags has almost always done.
Worthy progressing like Rice last year
Mahomes on a 12 TD/3 INT heater the last 5 weeks
Pacheco, Omenihu and Hollywood coming back
Humphries taking over at LT
Don’t care. This team always has these games this time every year. Lost 4 games last year. In 2022 beat a 3-8 Donkey team and horrible pre-Stroud 1 win Texans team at the end of the game.
This team will be in the AFCCG again at minimum. R-E-L-A-X

I think a lot of the defensive issues goes away with effort on the defensive line, and we all know how much that can make a difference in the playoffs. A weakness in the secondary will obviously be exploited by at least one quarterback in the playoffs, but then there's Mahomes on the other end... and yeah, I'm just not worried about that side of the ball even a little. The offensive line issues go away when Mahomes is decisive and in the zone... and then like you said, guys will get healthy at the right time and find ways to win.
On top of that, the huge aspect no one talks about is playoff experience... and right now that's the Chiefs, Bills, sort of the Ravens, and the Eagles. Not (currently) dealing with Burrow or the 9ers is huge... people can be scared of these other teams, but the playoffs start and it's a completely different level across all 3 phases and coaching to know how to win and close out games.... and there's a ton of inexperience across the board right now.
