Chiefs 2023 Chiefs BOLD Predictions thread - Page 3

DenverChief · 08-20-2023, 08:12 AM

Lets hear 'em

a few of mine

The Chiefs only carry 2 QBs on the active roster this year (Mahomes and Buechele) cutting Gabbert costs nothing in dead money. Carrying 3 QB's ties up a roster spot that could be used to retain depth at WR/CB/S/DT. We all know Buechele is making the roster - the question really comes down to are we going to eat a roster spot for a 3rd QB.

CEH gets cut (or traded) and the Chiefs roll with 3 RB's to start the season(Pacheco, McKinnon, Perine). $800K in dead money but $1.7M in savings and with trying to make a Chris Jones deal every penny saved is going to count.

The Chiefs will carry 7 WR's on the 53 Man roster (Toney, MVS, Moore, Watson, Rice, James, Ross.). Smith-Marsette will try and get snuck thru waivers along with Crawford and Powell. Remigio will be put on the IR.

I would predict fans will forget OBJ was on this team. Except I don't remember his position or what OBJ stood for already

They only had two last year.

No one will overreact in the GDT this year

Piggybacking onto this, Gabbert's entire cap hit is guaranteed. We'd be paying that amount of money regardless of if he's on the roster or not. For that reason and the new 3rd qb dress rule, I feel like he's very likely safe.

Given the Situation, and the change in rules, it would make sense to keep three quarterbacks.

You never want to run into what San Francisco ran into last year..

Coochie liquor · 08-20-2023, 07:40 PM

Not a BOLD prediction. But KC goes 20-0 and wins the SB on back to back years!

Mahomes - QB sneak for a game winning TD in the AFCCG

The change in rules doesn't change the number of players on a roster (53). There are some big decisions coming up if we are to keep 3 QB's

frozenchief · 08-20-2023, 10:33 PM

Our defense is a top 10 defense in points allowed. I think they’ll give up yards but not points.

RunKC · 08-20-2023, 10:50 PM

The only 1k receiver is Kelce, but Rice shows an incredible amount of talent and promise to be a future true #1.

The only double digit sack artist is Chris Jones, but FAU gets 7-8 sacks and shows he is on his way to being one in year 2.

This will be the best OL Patrick Mahomes has ever played behind.

Think I agree with most of the positive predictions here - we're winning every game, mark it. BUT, a "bold" prediction on CP feels more like a less than optimistic one. So with the expectation of being downvoted to oblivion, here's mine:

- We are worse at running the ball and are genuinely bad at it (it won't matter)
- CEH continues to be a (bad) feature of the offense for the whole season
- Smith is a downgrade on OBJ (but mainly in the run. I didn't like OBJ at all but he was wildly underrated here by some)
- Conner remains mainly a ST guy and doesn't look like Sneed 2.0.
- Bryan Cook is a downgrade on Thornhill (at least Thornhill during the run-in)
- The defence isn't better than last years and one of Watson, Williams, McDuffie has a sophomore slump

The offense is obviously going to kill it, I also could see a better ST performance given how many f***ing ST specialists Toub has now. The defence has a lot of potential but

Pretty much all focused on D and I'm not sure I believe the last one, flame away.

Chiefs will go undefeated which includes winning the SB.Thus, making Mahomes the GOAT and distancing himself from Brady

Coogs · 08-21-2023, 05:03 AM

Rice, Ross, and Kelce all go over 1000 with Kelce in 3rd. Not because of Kelce slowing down, but because opposing DC's force Mahomes to go elsewhere more than last year.

Pacheco runs for 1200.
