Chiefs confident Sammy Watkins, Patrick Mahomes are “starting to sync”

KC hasnt used any game planning yet..you know, where you create specific mismatches? Watkins, Hill, Kelce and Hunt are going to be a handful...I'm reserving judgment until I see this in action and how it's intended.

People are going mental over the defense...yet Ragland, Hitchens and Berry haven't played yet. That's essentially the starting interior guts of the defense. I'm reserving judgment on that too... no team is going to look great with all 3 starters out.

I agree $16 mil for Watkins was a luxury expense to a degree...but Veach has wanted him probably since the draft.

Hitchens, Ragland and Berry won't matter much when the DL is getting blown off the LoS.

All i hear is sugar coating. People act like camp and preseason don't carry over. It does. Don't act all surprised when the Chiefs are still getting gashed on the ground and through the air. They warned you.

It's not difficult to see when a team is crisp, popping pads and flying. So far, this might be the worst pre-season Chiefs team i've seen since Reid's 1st year.

And depth matters. You can't sit here and say, "oh we're missing starters". So ****ing what. Those guys the Chiefs have been trotting out there WILL see playing time. No team finishes the year healthy.

There WILL come a point in which these scrubs will be counted on to win games.
