LMAO

It's that pesky side to side that's important.

Umm isn't that old? Looks like a game day entrance.

Yup ROFL

Wrong color durag

NOT GUILTY!

Did he...did he...really think that was Rashee walking this week?

Agree, he was a liability because of his off-the-field antics, now he's added being a medical issue/liability to the roulette the team has to deal with in terms of his attendance. I'm sure he's feeling like crap for how his life has progressed in the months since the SB, but one of the two he had complete control of, injuries happen.

This would have to be the case. Fans that root against the Chiefs see the situation as a chance to hurt the Chiefs, but the Chiefs didn't do anything wrong in the matter. Rashee Rice was the one that did something wrong, so the suspension is a big fine and that satisifies the need of punishing the player.

How can he serve a suspension that has not been handed down? He can't. The NFL will not get involved with suspension and such until the criminal case is over. We all know this.

How do people not know this?

Ask him.

What in the holy ****??

Florio is reporting that Rashee will have exploratory surgery next week to determine the nature of the injury.

And F Florio.

It says 8-12 weeks for a grade 3 LCL tear though. Weird.

****ing Schefter got my hopes up with his original tweet...

Schefter :shake:

So we need to make a trade....

LMAO Schefter is such a ****ing dumbass.

Per Schefter on MNF - LCL damage most likely out for the season, but not as seriously damaged as they thought.

**** Schefter.

Not the best possible news, but nice if the kid doesn’t have to come back from a 9-12 month knee injury. Better chance he quickly bounces back to his true self.

Next man up until then… get the phone Veach

So, ruled out for the season.

Schefter or Nick Athan?

Sounds like we need to be beating the bushes for a WR trade

12 weeks is December… and this team will be playing in February…

I’m just thankful it’s not a torn ACL. This is not as bad as we thought

Basically we have to try to win the way we did last year. Ugh

We won't need him until January anyhow. :thumb:

Last year we had Rice...



Now we don't.

This year we have Worthy..

True but he's a different type of player than Rice.


More explosive but less of a feed and volume guy.


We need to make a trade ASAP.

More running game. OL is attacking their blocks differently this year with reduction RPOs.

We are gonna have to continue to chameleon our asses to go the distance. Wouldn’t hurt to add a WR though.

In Veach we trust.

I think they were waiting for the news on Rashee. Now that they know I think things will get interesting.

They have to trade for someone.

Just sucks that Veach added Hollywood and Worthy to go with Rashee and 2 of the 3 guys get hurt before the first month of the season is over

Do the trade this week and give the addition the bye week to just study plays.

Tonight’s game will determine how desperate we are for a trade..

Sucks from the standpoint that it tanked any shot we had to dominate the league offensively

But now it’s just another opportunity to further Mahomes legacy and show why he is the best to ever do it

So even though the news seems bleak right now, The real confirmation will only come after he has surgery. If it's just the LCL then he'll have a shot at being back in January like Brown. Anything else and it's season done for sure.

It's terribly bad luck for us but here we are. Everything is in Veach, Andy and Pat's hands now.

CEH has already wasted one of our designated to return from IRs

Not saying we don't need to sign a veteran receiver, but I AM saying that I think Worthy is about to bust out.

If Mahomes is really getting back to '**** it' football, then Worthy's going to get multiple shots per game now. And with the running game working, play-action would be real tough to defend.

We haven't had anyone that can track the ball (and catch it) like that since Hill. This may make a HUGE difference.

There is no guarantees that Brown will be back in January. We might need two receivers when all said and done. But a starting calibre one becomes a must.

And the football gods. Need the healthy guys to stay healthy in all 3 phases of the game. That includes your kicker & punter, who become very important when the offense is handcuffed with injuries.

Schefter just said Rice is likely not back this year…but it’s not as bad as thought.

Surgery tomorrow.

It might not be easy for Brown to just come in months later and start contributing a lot without ever playing out games with his teammates. But he is a veteran so maybe

IMO, they need the extra WR more so in case they suffer ANOTHER injury than they need it because the current talent is not enough.

It’s gonna be the Kelce show again, Worthy, ground attack… there’s stuff to work with for Andy and Pat, all-time greats figure this shit out when they have 3 months to go.

I think this is like best case scenario. 10% probability.

Mahomes just hasn't shown the ability to play '**** it' football with an OL he doesn't totally trust and WRs he's not in sync with.

I hope I'm wrong but anytime we've had this mindset as fans it hasn't panned out. If we're going to survive this period it's going to be a methodical slog that won't be particularly satisfying. But they'll find ways to do just enough to win and then it's...onto the playoffs.

That isn't a thing anymore, there is no limit.

Well, you know...I'm an optimist. :)

The beauty with this team is you can be an optimist, I can be a pessimist, and I can be right, and they can still win a SB.

Juju is only 27 and is in his 2nd year removed from his knee problems.

They need to get him involved like 2022. He’s the Rice replacement right now

If he's up to it, that'd be great. I doubt he is, though. A healthy Juju wouldn't have been available for pennies. Healthy Juju was a damned good WR.

Bullseye

A lot of people are gonna act surprised when he’s making plays again even though we saw it just two short years ago. New England killed his reputation.

The bigger issue to me is Hardman. He’s only 26 and was involved in the playoffs but not now?

Andy set your pride aside man. Skyy has had plenty of chances. It’s Hardman time

My bet is a lot of people are going to be surprised when he's making plays for two or three games before he pulls up lame again...

We signed Sammy back?

Bottom line is we have a guy in Juju who had 1000 yards two years ago for this team including SEVEN catches in a superbowl. Which was a team high in that game. So Travis and Juju are gonna have to do what they do through the middle. The run game when Pacheco returns should be very interesting too now with Kareem and Perine in the mix. Add that to Worthy and whoever else Veach brings in and I still believe our offense can thrive as the season progresses.

What can you do?

I know I wanted to have a fun offense to watch this season but the football gods can be cruel.

Well, sort of. There is still technically a limit. But the limit is 8. Hard to imagine needing to use it 8 times

What I can’t get behind at all is the idea that this now means it’s the 2023 offense again


I loved Rice last year as much as anyone but the simple fact that Worthy provides something unique — a great downfield threat — means the overall scheme is better equipped than last year when it was just a lot of guys executing within 20 yards

That's what I'm saying. And I think he's more advanced in his route tree than Rashee four games in

It might be similar but we have Worthy and don't have MVass. Plus Hunt and Perine are much better depth at HB than we had last year.

Please don’t let a no name TE wreck us

That hurts

Really? I’d take what 2023 Rice was ahead of what 2024 Worthy might be.

We need to be able to move the chains. Rice helped with that. I’m not sure Worthy is there yet.

Worthy is open alot but he's just not seeing him with the pocket collapsing

This years rice and last years rice isn’t even comparable. Rice going down, even with adding worthy is such a loss. I’m assuming you’re comparing worthy of now to rice of then, and I get it, but I can’t draw the comparison until I see what worthy plays in the postseason and you shouldn’t either.. 🤷*♂️

Juju has been nice but you can't rely on him due to his knee and injury history. You must (like duh obviously) trade for a #1 WR

So it’s just an lcl and no ACL?

I wouldnt assume anything at this point until after his surgery but maybe.

I was at practice tonight didn’t get to hear anything

I'm really confused. He hasn't had the exploratory surgery yet, but now we're hearing that he's out for the season. How come they didn't know this last week? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Why are you so obsessed with his knee? Smh :evil:

Chiefs have to assume he’ll be out for the season and plan accordingly by trading for a WR.

If he is able to return for the playoffs it will be a bonus, but can’t count on that.

I’m hopefully optimistic on Rice returning this year.

We will see what hear and see after the surgery.

I think the team would rather sell bad news and then have everyone be surprised by an early return.
