Chiefs Just haven't been playing very well recently - Page 4

lcarus · 01-01-2023, 04:17 PM

They're probably a little complacent right now with the back end of this schedule being easy. I kinda had a feeling we would win ugly against the likes of Houston and Denver. All that matters in the end is getting the win and escaping any injuries to our key guys. Hopefully Thuney is going to be ok.

I don't know how you wouldn't be concerned. Pathetic performance today. You are playing the worst team in the league in your own building. Got bailed out on a bogus offensive pi on Jerry Juedy (or Sutton I forget) eliminating a big play too. This team just doesn't have it.

It's called "The Law of Mahomes Expectations"

Style points don't matter.

All that matters is we hit another gear when the playoffs start.

I think we have some issues. But Reid will work around it. And even with our issues we’re still damn good enough to make a run. Our worst is still on par with even the best of the bests best.

I don’t want to sugarcoat anything. I am just content with not being fully there yet. We are in a tremendous spot to get better, I suspect a lot of our top competition will get worse rapidly once their top players get paid. I’m just happy we’re really coming along. A Super Bowl is just gravy. We are set up for years of success.

On the bright side… I think Toney will be our gadget to mix things up. And our defense is starting to come alive as it usually does this time of year. I have a feeling it’s going to be a year we’re not used to where the defense has to carry way more weight and we win playoff games more uncomfortably.

My concern is we just look very flat going into the playoffs, which isn't really the norm for the Chiefs in recent years. Reid and the coaching staff seem to "figure it out" midway or late into the season, and our team starts looking solid and cohesive going into the playoffs. This year just doesn't have that feeling. Very bad football teams are making us look bad and work for these wins, and we look very flawed and average.

We're 13-3, but we really don't feel like it. And we've seen this kind of team before around the league. The one with the impressive looking W-L record, but gets it's teeth knocked out in the first round by a team that has a better gameplan and just wants it more. I don't want that to be us, but it's hard to think otherwise when we come out and play like we have. Dunno what else to say.

Just last week they led a playoff contender 24-3 before a garbage time TD.

Which NFL team is consistently dominating opponents?

We're literally DEEP into a Reidian Run, but yeah, we don't look very good...

Pitt Gorilla · 01-01-2023, 05:34 PM

Two COSTLY turnovers by the offense, a missed assignment (I assume) by Thornhill, and some interesting calls on Williams kept the game unnaturally close. Other than that (and even WITH that), we're fine.

Chris Meck · 01-01-2023, 05:41 PM

I really think that they just get mentally tired and lose focus for stretches. We're the team everyone wants to beat, so we get their very best every single game-and they still rarely win.

It's got to be exhausting.

Not making an excuse, just saying it's a possible explanation for what seems un-explainable.

It's week 17. The guys are beat up AF. It's professional football and it's hard. FFS, we're 13-3.

Reid isnt a crack the whip, kill your veterans coach.

Buffalo's McDermott is closer to that but there is price to be paid for running through the wall every week.

turned a 34-17 game into a nail biter

Cant say "just." Its a legit thing. Our turnover ratio is very bad. Its the same as the bottom feeders.

That should excite the **** out of you. We're winning in spite of crazy turnovers. We're the best offense EVEN WITH the turnovers.

Hey, if you want to take away Pat's aggressiveness, there's not space here to explain how stupid that would actually be.

Danguardace · 01-01-2023, 06:44 PM

I just hope it is complacency since that Chargers game, I think was the last time they played decent football.
