Chiefs A Level Headed Review Week 2 2023

DenverChief · 09-17-2023, 03:33 PM

1. Chris Jones return was huge for the Defense. 1.5 Sacks, 2 QB Hits and 1 Pass Defensed. FAU, Danna and Karlaftis showed up huge in QB sacks and pressures. Lawrence was very uncomfortable in the pocket on many drives. Chenal showed up clutch on a few plays most notably not being fooled by the screen pass on 2nd and ten that led to the third and long before Jax turned the ball over on downs.

2. The offense looked much better today, catching the ball, RUNNING THE BALL!. On 3rd and short handing off to Pacheco on the inside rush for a first down instead of trying to be cute. Smash the football down their throat - Pacheco can get you one yard. Toney and Moore atoned for their drops 5/5 for 35 yards and 3/4 for 70 yards and TD respectively. The Jax defense is a good defense, while we didn't play perfect and still have A LOT of room for improvement we definitely ironed out some of the more fixable problems.

3. Jawaan Taylor - this is going to be an ongoing issue with the refs I'm afraid - PTW seemed solid in relief. I'm not sure what to do here bench him and play PTW? Try and trade him? I don't know what the answer is - if he can't figure out his alignment and make his kick out closer to the snap - we can't keep hurting our offense with silly penalties.

4. Travis didn't quite seem himself today - I'm sure the knee is still bothering him. But a hobbled Travis is still better than no Travis.....just like Mahomes. Mahomes on one leg is still a damn good QB. Hopefully he can get healed fast. We are going to need him at 100% to get our offense fully back on track. Love the Kelce punt out of the end zone after his TD. Classic Travis.

5. Pacheco looked like Pacheco again 12 Carries for 70 Yards and 5.8 yd average. I love his running style and that 31 yard rip was a thing of beauty. I just wish he could have put it over the goal at the end of the game for a nice cherry on top of his running day.

6. Justin Watson was clutch again. All this guy does is catch critical passes. Not my favorite WR but he I is definitely a lunch pail guy ready to work. His fumble was just good work on the DB part.

7. I do feel like everyone is still running in sand - there is just no explosiveness yet - not sure if it's still knocking the rust off of the offseason or what. I would expect next week we will see a much more crisp game with our offense. This would have technically been week 1 this week.

8.The James fumble. He just lost it in the Sun. Period. That is gonna happen. While I think he needs to improve on offense I'm not worried about his KO/PR skills. Maybe he should have let it go IDK but is Toub is worried about it I'll let him address it.

I don't think I've ever seen the NFL and officials single out a player like they did today.

It's a load of horse shit.

I don’t like complaining about officiating but the only thing that bothers me is that this was a non-issue (this year and last year) with Taylor until Collinsworthless complained about it for three straight hours. He clearly had never seen Taylor before because I remember thinking they were false starts every time last year. Not a peep out of the media until he came to KC.

Drives me crazy.

That’s the worst thing about NBC’s coverage. They were there for the Playoff game last year when Taylor was false starting on every play for Jacksonville. Collinsworth and NBC didn’t seem to give a damn at the time.

Agreee. He earned some of them but that was mostly a hit job.

I'm not feeling the Toney confidence. Drop, catch, hurt. Rinse and repeat.
Chris Jones was impressive. Dude hit the gym.
The announcers and refs were cringy.
Happy Birthday to the best QB in the world.

Lane Johnson is a savvy veteran getting an advantage.

Taylor is cheating.

What's the difference? I think you know.

bobbything · 09-17-2023, 03:36 PM

We were moving the ball just fine until we fumbled (Watson/Toney)and got Taylored by illegal procedures and false starts.

I’m not worried about the O.

You can't say this is a levelheaded review and then talk about benching our new 80 million dollar tackle after 2 games.

I assume you would just let the league continue to kill our O with penalties. I said I don’t know what the answer is. But he is marked man.

There's a massive amount of middle ground between allowing a player to have that many penalties and benching the guy.

How about he makes a few small changes and proceeds as the far better option at tackle than the turd you're promoting.

If you're gonna pull this shit every week you'll need to change your thread titles.

Dude put the pipe down. I literally was asking a question. If you re- read the sentence. “What do you if he can’t make the adjustment?” You are jumping way over board on this one. Step away from the keyboard and go get some fresh air.

And then call it on EVERYBODY that does the same, otherwise **** off refs.

Chiefs were a complete shit show with discipline issues and basically scored 24.

They'll be fine.
