Week 1 game thread

They have a bunch of guys who are deep threats, but they need someone like McConkey, who runs good routes from the slot.

Actually now that the O-line looks a lot better and Pacheco is healthy, I'd like to see more double TE sets and run the football. But its not in Andy or Mahomes' blood. It's not as glamorous.

Do they use a fullback? I agree. Mahomes is getting a little too pass happy. Use the run to setup the pass.

Yeah, but he's on the practice squad. Don't know whats up with that. Carson Steele.

Steele was released

Hollywood caught a pass.

Nice stop.

Don’t get me wrong, Mahomes is an all time great. But 2 straight years he’s been pretty average and he’s been average to start this game. When is the talk going to start about maybe NFL defenses figuring him out to a certain extent

I think many were very premature calling him the next GOAT.

I think it's more the personnel. Outside of Kelce they don't have another big name playmaker. He's also on the wrong side of 30. That's the point I was talking about earlier. They need guys with more diversified skillsets.

I think the chiefs take him for granted. They don’t surround him with talent. They just concentrate the D.
When they traded Hill and won they thought no need to to get weapons.

You don't cut him any slack when the WR's he throw to just drops too many passes? Hollywood Brown is a piece of ****.

Again I’m not saying he sucks or anything. Just saying he was crowned the next GOAT a couple years back.

Take away the most explosive WR and the best receiving TE is no longer in his prime, he no longer looks like the GOAT. It’s not like Allen has elite skill position talent, same with Lamar and those guys are trading MVPs the last 2 seasons.

I’m just saying, I don’t think there is a gap between Mahomes and the other 3 elite QBs in the game right now

i forgot where I read this but someone said Mahomes is having an inverse Brady type of career and it's so true lol...started off insanely hot and kind of regressed into being a game manager while the opposite for Brady

Yep. I’m with you. I still have him #1 on my BB but this is embarrassing

I have him 3rd right now. I have Allen as the best QB with Lamar 2nd. Those two are just carrying their offenses like no other guys right now.

Joe Burrow is the best pure passing QB in the league in it's not close imo

[Cactus Jack]

He runs out of bounds lmao

Ya again to be clear to everyone haha, he’s still elite. But when talking about weapons, Lamar and Josh don’t have elite weapons and those guys are putting on Superman capes on every week. Or just watching this game. It’s not like Herbert has elite weapons. He has a draft bust in Johnston, a senior citizen in Allen and Lad is a legit high level slot guy. And Chargers are moving the ball much better than KC tonight.

I’d just like to see Mahomes be more like Lamar/Allen where even if they don’t have elite talent, they still make something happen and just don’t kind of manage the game.

Agreed 100%.

Lamar: best running QB
Allen: best throwing QB who is an elite running QB as well.
Burrow: best pure passer

[Duke4life831]

That one mistake ended up costing them 3 points. As dumb of a play as it gets

[JujitsuFlip]

Hate the Chiefs but that scramble to kick the field goal was nice!

Still the best coached team in the league. They seem to never make mistakes in these tight moments like that. Where every other team seems to always make mistakes
