I think 2018 will be better in some areas and worse in others, but in the end I think it'll be a 9-7 or 10-6 campaign

If we are smart we rely heavily on Hunt/Ware and protect Mahomes and our D.

That flies directly in the face of what Andy does though so I don't expect it...

One of the main reasons we were never going to see Mahomes (no matter how bad the slide was in the middle) this season was this fact.

Its fairly well known...and andy will completely redesign the offense around Mahomes, no doubt.

I can try and find the article if you like...

Reid has always designed his offense around his QB's strengths and weaknesses. Good coordinators do this. His current offense is designed around Smith. Next year it will be designed around Mahomes. You will likely see a lot less QB run plays. Other than that, his offense is very layered with multiple options from deep, intermediate and short passes on most plays. That won't change.

Kevin Keitzman agrees.

Could go the other way and Mahomes just rips the ass out of the league like Watson was before his injury.

Unfortunately we don't have DeAndre Hopkins, a lot of those TD's were literally him throwing 50/50 balls, it wasn't like they were perfect throws or anything.

We have Kelce. He can go up and get balls pretty well.

the SB window with the core group of players that have been on the roster for the last half decade is closed and there will be major roster turnover, no shit the team is likely to regress

[O.city]

They've got an offense full of legitimate skill players, a good offensive line, a defense that should be healthy and a full offseason of draft picks and free agency.

Plus they have a great coach.

I'm not overly worried. Hell, I'm probably gonna pick up season tickets for the first time.

The problem I see isn't that there are a ton of holes, I don't think there are. It's that the holes that are there, are not easy ones to fix.

Agreed. NT, OLB, and CB at the very least. Add DE and S if Bailey and Parker are kicked to the curb like I think they should be.

And the depth chart at a lot of positions.

No QB behind Mahomes, shitty tight end depth, thin on the OL and allover on Defense.

Backup QB is a little scary next year. I really wouldn't be surprised if Bray is back to compete just because he knows the system and they don't have anyone else. I think drafting a QB mid-late would be a good option but they only have 4 draft picks so we will see. A veteran QB would be great depending on who it is.

You're also never going to fill every hole unless you start hitting on alot more late round picks and such.

Look at Minny. They're WR's are late ass round picks and are legit.

The Chiefs also need the stars on D to play like it and or be put in said positions to make plays.

In all reality this team has hit on a pretty good percentage of later picks, the issue is Ford hasn't delivered that's probably the worst draft pick they've had. Also this team has drafted a lot of DB's and Peters is really the only one that worked out well.

It's time for a new voice calling the defense and it sounds shitty and i know people won't like it but getting an OLB that's better than Ford this year is probably not doable.
