Whining about the team with the best record in the NFL?

[RunKC]

I don’t get the whining. This game and the 49ers were universally agreed to be likely losses.

Love what Kent Swanson and Matt Lane said about the offense last night. They were spot on:

-The offense has had issues since preseason. They spent the entire summer preparing for Hollywood and Rashee and guess what? They’re out. WR1 and WR2
-There’s been a constant shuffling of weapons. Pacheco gone, Rashee and Hollywood gone. Juju only played 1 game then was out. Hopkins and Worrhy are works in progress and will take time. Worthy performance in Buffalo shows progress.
-No juice at RB. Hunt has been good but there’s no explosiveness. It’s gotten worse the last 2 weeks.
-Kelce isn’t what he was. That fastball isn’t there very often anymore. Kind of like an aging pitcher. He can be a closer at this point but he’s not a regular starter anymore. Rice was that guy to take his spot and the Falcons game was a clear indicator of what that would look like.
-offense feels disconnected and doesn’t have an identify at the moment

They will get this fixed and Mahomes will be on a good enough page with Hopkins/Worthy by January. Pacheco will bring back juice and I trust Mahomes and OL to play well when it matters

Injuries are the story of this season. If everyone was healthy, KC would be fisting everyone including Buffalo.

If my aunt had gonads she'd be my uncle, but KC just needs to worry about being in a position to rest starters during that ridiculous 3 game stretch coming up, and not getting Mahomes killed.

I agree. Injuries and continuity have been issues.

I think we'll see the offense really shine once they can use Pacheco as the the primary back, and use Hunt for 3rd downs and red zone touches (probably inside the 10). Pacheco gives them more juice/explosiveness/speed, and Hunt can be kept fresh and used as a weapon more strategically.

Continuing to integrate Hopkins and Worthy as the season goes on is key, too. Just takes time.

Imagine we enter the postseason as the #1 seed with Pacheco and fully integrated Hopkins, Worthy and Hollywood on offense with Watson and Omenihu returning on defense.

If anyone is doom and glooming feeling like we’re a long shot to threepeat, that’s your most likely path of success.

Is there a realistic chance of Watson returning and being effective this season?

There’s been a lot of talk about it so I’m not discounting the possibility just yet.
