2025 Chiefs

@nuleafjhawk said in 2025 Chiefs:
@kjayhawks I was giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying that he’s distracted. The other option is that he can’t pass anymore I guess the Chiefs could always make him the featured running back.
Mahomes deep ball has never been good in my opinion. Tyreek just made such smooth adjustments it looked good. Tyreek would make a great center fielder with his ball tracking ability. I see a little of that with Worthy, but not the field awareness yet. Hopefully Worthy can play close to 100% at some point this year, I’m not sure how his injury will affect his play - could be ugly.
-
@dylans admittedly, I’m frustrated with the start of this season. But, IMO, there’s something wrong with Mahomes. I don’t know what it is, but if someone watches the Chiefs - even last season - he either throws the ball in the ground, over the receiver’s head, or behind the receiver. He rarely throws a clean, well timed ball anymore. True, he’s running for his life most of the time, but that’s a problem for Reid.
-
@nuleafjhawk It’s his footwork. It’s terrible. But Mahomes is the only source of offense. The running backs suck hind tit - Pacheco is terrible, he runs hard right into his own blockers - maybe he needs glasses. Hunt is washed, at this point I might be faster. Mitchell hasn’t even found the field and Smith is more of a pass catcher. The WRs are injured or just complimentary players - Rice is amazing, but unavailable. Worthy is coming into his own, but Kelce may have ruined his career. Kelce is old and slow. Juju is in his 20s and slow. Hollywood is a good 3rd receiver, but as the featured guy he is limited. Remigio is a returner. Brownlee can’t find his way to the field.
Butker lost both those games. If he hits the extra point against the Chargers the game is tied late and goes to overtime. If he makes that field goal against the Iggles that is the margin as well.
Against Philly if Kelce catches that TD KC wins. If Reid doesn’t go for it on 4th down and just punts, that was the margin of the game.
KC will be fine. Mahomes can be better, but he’s the only reason they’re even in these games. The rest of the team looks bush league. Spags better figure out how to hide Chamarri Connors - that guy is a huge liability. Nagy needs to fix Taylor - his penalties are drive killers.
Take Mahomes off this team and they win maybe 5 games.
-
@nuleafjhawk hard to disagree with with assumption that Mahomes has been a little off. But I still think the guys around him are a source of the issue. Tyreek would go get the ball. Look at AJ Browns catch for the eagles Sunday, when was the last time a Chiefs receiver did that?or the catch Smith had for them. The Chiefs receivers don’t go get the ball IMO is some of the issue. I also think the scheme isn’t working anymore. Chiefs run too many rub plays to get open they don’t have any great route runners that can get separation on their own. Some time I think it’s low because it’s the best spot for it not to get picked. Add in the fact the offensive line sucks
-
It looks like Mahomes deep ball accuracy is poor. 1/4 connect. …so throw 4 deep balls per possession, they do eventually connect. I suspect there would be a higher completion percentage on deep passes if they threw more.
-
That first missed TD to Thornton is one that Mahomes needs to connect on 9 times out of 10. I think that he is so focused on bringing the deep ball back to the offense that he psyches himself out whenever he actually throws one, which reduces his accuracy.
-
Poor Chiefs. They need to figure out a way to win despite the missing pieces they are dealing with.
A simple way is to get the ground game going. But, that seems like a long shot. The Chiefs have ranked basically middle of the pack or worse in the last five years in yards per game. None of the RBs on the roster seem exceptional.
The Chiefs are all about Mahomes. And if he’s missing toys to play with, maybe a new offensive game plan is in order.
If receiving options are limited, I’d like to see them use Noah Gray more at the very least. he seems to come through when needed.
-
Ha, what do i know!!??
i was just reading a story about the Chiefs and their offensive woes, and of course they blame Noah Gray for some of the faulty plays!
-
@dylans I am wondering how much they really worked on this during training camp
-
Peepeepoopoo at the skill positions. Yikes. RB is a disaster.
-
@BShark Peepeepoopoo - Is that the Polynesian kid from Oregon?
-
Go Chiefs!

-
@Crimsonorblue22 if they lose tonight, what then?
-
@nuleafjhawk chiefs by 17
-
@nuleafjhawk still a fan
-
Weird game for me. I grew up a Giants fan on the east coast. Maybe not too weird since I quickly became a KC fan after moving to Kansas in my mid teens way too many moons ago.
-
Those of us that have been chiefs fans since the 1990s or before have endured some pretty painful football not unlike the Kansas football program
-
Thank gosh they’re fun now
-
Finally! Kelce!
-
The easiest one
-
@kjayhawks I’ll take that bet. Mahomes has completely forgotten how to play
-
Giants 28 - 6
-
Hard not to enjoy watching Skattebo play.
He’s like a Pacheco with better vision?
-
The chiefs are on Valium or something. So lackadaisical.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I’ve been too hard on Mahomes. I think his new trend of throwing backwards passes is really going to set the NFL on fire!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk is he the back from ASU?
-
DA!
-
Good gosh another DA
-
I think the rookie CB No 20 is having issues today.
-
Nice, turn around so you can see!
-
Yes! Scored in
️ Zone!
-
I think we struck maybe not gold but at least bronze with WR Thornton.
-
Thornton sucks if he was paying attention he had a walk in TD.

You’re pretty quiet
-
@kjayhawks I’m trying to behave
-
@kjayhawks also, 13 isn’t 17. You owe me whatever we bet

Thinking my prediction was much much closer than yours unfortunately Butker wasn’t on tonight or I’m perfect. Watch Wilson close that’s a washed up QB buddy
-
I’m still thinking the Chiefs drop one to the ravens next week but if they can go 3-3 to start this season with the injures they’ve had. I think they be alright when the time comes. Defense looked pretty salty for the most part tonight. The timing is just not right with receivers right now, you’d think that would improve going forward.
