A Level Headed Review Week 8 2024

[DenverChief]

First drive was a thing of beauty. Dhop with the nice 13 yard catch on 3rd and 7, Kelce with a 25 yard reception and then Perine with a nice 21 yard catch on the rainbow pass from Mahomes on 3rd and 5. Then Hunt capping off the drive with two hard runs on goal to go. Offense seems to be getting back on track.

I just noticed...Garner Minshew II who the hell names their kid after themselves with that kinda name

Defense seems like it needs to feel out the offense on the first drive.

Mahomes looks like he has a smashed finger on his non-throwing hand


A Watson sighting with a nice 19 yard catch.

Mahomes either over threw Dhop or Dhop shorted his route....either way he was wide open and that should have been a completion.

Run defense is very stout. Love seeing them stuff anything run between the tackles.

Karlaftis with the nice deflection to end the Raiders drive.

3rd Chiefs offensive series:
Nice seeing Worthy getting some short yardage catches.
Kelce with the nice 1st down with the shovel pass.

That damned offensive offsides call - Fortson needs to be aware of the LOS

Steele sighting with the catch on the swing pass.

Shitty Raider field, Hunt could have had more if not for that slip and fall on the swing pass out of the backfield.

Great catch by Kelce for the TD and Dhop was just as excited for Kelce to get the TD. Love seeing that, I think Dhop is gonna really enjoy this ride.

Johnson out with a concussion...getting thin at CB as well

Jones just swallowed up Myers on that jet sweep lol

McDuffie chasing down Minshew was just beautiful. Too bad he couldn't get the sack but the end result was just as good.

Now we get a look at the "2 minute" offense with 58 seconds left.

The Kelce lateral to Perine was beautiful, just looked like Perine got caught looking up field and dropped the pitch. Good recovery and fortunate to be able to get out of bounds. I know we have all seen 13 seconds but it amazes me still what Pat and this offense can do with very little time.

Dhop with the 16 yard catch to put us in FG range AND put Pat at over 30,000 yards passing in his career fastest to make that mark in 103 games.


Defense starts the 2nd half stuffing everything they try.

Gah I thought the illegal block in the back penalty was pretty ticky tacky. There was a slight push in the back on the return, not sure it even had a huge impact on the return. But the refs love us.

The ball was a little low for Kelce but gotta make those catches, then Worthy not able to bring that pass in.

That was an amazing acting job by the Raider returner - Williams did not put that much effort into that but he made it look like he body slammed him. Bad call imo.

The holding on J Williams was weird, they didn't show it and it was a super late call.

Our run defense is just disgusting. Go ahead and try and run against us.

Karlaftis with the timely sack.

Can we stop with the blocks in the back Hicks? Pretty please?

What a terrible offensive series - Wanya was getting owned, lucky that wasn't a safety on the first hold.

Pat getting that pass hit on the third attempt at 1st down looked like Taylor let that guy thru.

What a DEFENSIVE stand that was.. Holy shit our running D is stout. Our defense really saved our bacon on that series. Raiders should have taken the 3 points - they will regret that.

What a catch by Gray to clean up the dropped pass by Worthy. To be fair it looks like the defender got his hand on the ball as worthy tried to catch it.

Great march down the field to get in the red zone but couldn't punch it in. Worthy gotta work on holding on to the ball. Seems to have difficulty keeping it secure when challenged just a little bit.

Nice forced fumble by Pennel.

Great catch and run by Worthy for the TD. This is by far one of my fav pics from the game.


Seems like our DB room needs some serious help. Rolland-Wallace and Williams were pretty consistently getting picked on thru the game. Maybe one more move is for a CB.

Fortson hurt again and it doesn't look good.

32-5 against the AFC west is Mahomes in his career.

I had visions of gumdrop trees and lemonade streams his first few years, but at some point you just have to give up... the guy isn't built for the NFL

Nah fortson is like a Blake bell guy. We thought he was gonna be a big body target. But turns out he’s just an exceptional run blocker. At a time when we needed to run like it was our job. And we did. He’s not built to stay healthy for the nfl but it was a good plug in for a few games that costed us nothing

Wasn’t he originally a WR converted to TE? Maybe all that extra mass is too much to handle

What value does “great rush by George there” have after the fact? Just add some context, combine similar thoughts into a cohesive paragraph and then we’ll have something resembling a good recap (I.e. gblowfish’s 10 things)

I miss gblowfish's 10 things. Denver's attempt to replace that helps. And no one else is doing it. And just about every time he posts these reviews, he reminds me of something (or things) that I forgot about or didn't notice, so to me there's value in it.


And finally, if you want people to take your advice, maybe try wording ti a ittle better, instead of, " I don’t get much of a ‘review’ vibe from this," you could try, "hey, just some constructive criticism here," or "this is nice, but I'd like to see 'x' as well."


You know, honey vs. vinegar. Ymmv.
