Is it too early to start thinking about 2024?

But I don't think this is a team that can flip a switch. Again - they're not as good as they think they are.

I think they'll make the playoffs. But I genuinely wonder if they wouldn't be better served missing them. They're gonna sneak in, hit the nitrous button in the post-season and be surprised to find that they're still just a running a stick Civic out there.

The only time I remember it lately was the Raiders game and it flipped in a big way... it was like Mahomes and Kelce told each other, **** it, we're doing this and immediately got on the same page, Mahomes started flinging it like days of old (uh, last year), Rice ended with 100 yards.

And I thought, sweet... yeah, it's just the Raiders, but if that's what they can look like, they can flip that switch come playoff time (and was figuring they'd do it today, too).

Besides the Mahomes-Kelce connection, it obviously doesn't seme like they're cohesive enough to **** around and then confidently strut into the playoffs and do their thing. They only needed one warmup game last year heading into the playoffs, and that made sense.

They should probably use the rest of the month this year.
