Annual Eat Crow Thread - 2019 Edition

[warpaint*]

I didn't like the Frank Clark trade. Nothing against him personally, but I thought we already had pass rushers & would be better served to use our draft pick on a run stuffer or two & hire a DC who'd run a 3-4. Obviously those changes were brilliant & all worked.

I also thought Clark was a bust early but as it turns out that's b/c he was playing hurt.

I thought the season was over after the Titans loss. Not b/c the Chiefs weren't good but b/c at that point it just felt like one of those years where you're snakebit with injuries.

***

Other teams,
Lock is better than I thought.
Josh Allen is better than I thought.
Seems I always like the Chargers & they blow.

I was all aboard the dump Houston and Goddamned Ford. I wanted no part of that again.

I was mad at Clark after he sucked ass.

There are probably more than a few, but the main one for me was Damien Williams. Never thought he'd be a true RB1, in fact voiced the idea of cutting him at the end of the season even through week 17. Wasn't until his playoffs performances when he really proved himself to me. Just ordered his jersey after the Super Bowl; kind of my own way of eating crow about Damien.

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

Fun fact. We didn’t lose a game this season in which Eric Fisher started

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Chiefs were 10-0 with the offense at full go..

Outscored teams 31-15 the last half of the season. Dominant champs.

[Kiimo]

Mathieu - I was wrong about the guy. I thought he was too small to be a difference maker and I really, really wanted Landon Collins. Whoops.


I was wrong about Rashad Fenton, thought he would be the weak link of the draft.


I was wrong about Mecole Hardman and thought the Chiefs should have drafted Parris Campbell instead.


I also was dubious on Juan Thornhill but that's 100% Seth Keysor's fault.




Everything else I was a ****ing fortune teller

[Marcellus]

I thought for sure Mahomes would throw for 4 or more TD's in the SB.

[Easy 6]

I was really hard on Clark early, and Watkins midway through

Other than that I was pretty damn positive about how things were shaping up... and yeah didn’t expect much from Fenton but neither did anyone else, so that’s a wash

Figured Spags was an upgrade
Reid was a no brainer
Very pro Veach

[Reerun_KC]

I’d like to apologize to Andy Reid.

He finished a season without major gaffes.

He delivered to KC what no one thought was possible ( and wasn’t until Mahomes )

[Ming the Merciless]

All the people who wanted Alex to play out his contract should be in here shortly...


But I bet they dont have the balls to admit it.,..

None of them will admit it. Theyll all act like they wanted Mahomes to start. Then they can bring up how without Smith Mahomes would have never been who he is.

That's one thing I was not on board with. I liked Alex, thought he was the best option at the time. As soon as he shit his pants int he Pit playoff game I was done with him. When they drafted Pat I wanted him to play in that Playoff game vs the Titans. I said it back then before he was a starter. If we would have played him that game it's a win and who knows how deep we would have gone.

I still think Reid should have pulled the plug on Smith during that game.

Me too. I remember thinking what the **** do we have to lose here?

[Demonpenz]

I didn't think the chiefs would get over the hump. It took a Jordan like player to do so, but whatever.

I hated Frank Clark and Damien Williams. Really really hated them, but to be fair I hated them because they absolutely sucked complete shit for long stretches of time. I have done a complete 180 on both and feel like im completely infatuated with both of them. I am 100% sure my infatuation with Frank will turn into complete loving bliss.

Damien Williams on the other hand could be a guy that I think needs replaced. I can never hate the guy and he has been given an extremely long leash. That leash gives him until the playoffs and if he is even close to repeating this year's playoffs the leash is then extended.
