Perine is a good RB too. Look at his stats in 2023. Hunt/Pacheco/Perine is a very good combination.

Different style back, but I could see them keep Perine as the "McKinnon" role. Behind, two minute offense, 3rd down passing situations.

He has shown to be a good 3rd down back out of the backfield, and a good blocker. I am happy we have him to go along with Hunt and now Pacheco.

They will be a deadly trio going down the stretch.

I think without him, there are a couple of the games that we might have lost....

Hunt has made Andy's play calling much, much easier.

No trickeration, no in-game evaluation, no risk/reward metrics to ponder....hand it to Hunt on 3rd or 4th and short. Pick up 1st down.

The rest is extra gravy. Move football and keep offense on field.

Isn't it the latter day version of Stram's old "matriculate the ball down the field"?

well, I guess or hope that it's Scorched Earth time.

I would be OK with Pacheco/Hunt combo running for 150 yards....and Patrick passing for 350 yards and 3 TD's.

And...not having a nail biter for once.

Mahomes may be the great Matriculator.

Hunt is the easy button...

Kareem gets his SB trophy and finalized his redemption arc.

We definitely need the help on D because the last three games the D hasn’t been unable to come up with a stop in crunch time.

It seems that if there's a perfect pass or near impossible catch to make, teams do that against the Chiefs. Or is it that I just watch the Chiefs and that happens to every other team?

I watch a shitload of NFL games and it really does seem like it disproportionately happens to us.

It absolutely does, especially when we’re playing QBs who shouldn’t be able to do it. That’s the most annoying part is when some scab like Bryce Young does it to us, and it just never seems to fail. Definitely do not see it anywhere near as much in other games.

I think a big part of it is when teams are playing us, their QB seems to have a ‘**** it’ mentality because they know what it’s going to take to beat us, so that plays into it as well. They’re much more likely to just chuck it up there.

Bryce stood in there in the face of the rush and delivered the ball MANY times. I was really impressed with his decision making and standing in the pocket to make the pass last second.
