Agreed.

The lack of competitive spirit needs to be explained.

They’re not going to do anything about his contract. He will either play one more year or he won’t.

Yup.

Before the team was announced, they had a huddle and PM15 was breakin em and said "....., on 3 ready , etc.

Pretty much dead silence and nothin goin on.

At the time, I thought it might be because of the camera, but later, it seemed a harbinger.

This is horrible. Is he that slow or doesn’t care. Very damning.

Agreed. Kelce still can be a good option as the #3/4 guy and his leadership. I want one more year.

$19 million cap hit as a #3/4 guy.

I definitely noticed that Mahomes looked like a zombie on the sideline before the game started. I didn't think much of it at the time. The whole offense looked like they got poisoned or their Gatorade was drugged.

This. So freaking tired of people saying he needs to take a pay cut.

1.) He took a pay cut his ENTIRE career. He was a receiver getting paid as a tight end.
2 ) He is the greatest tight end ever and had 97 catches last year (12th in the NFL last season).
3 ) He is still a top 5 TE in the game.
4.) He is the second greatest Chief of all-time.
5.) In the last two years, between Taylor Swift and his podcast, he made Clark Hunt and this franchise hundreds of millions of dollars.

You are really gonna pull this dude in and be like hey listen Trav gonna need you to take an enormous paycut on the deal we agreed upon in what is likely your last year. JFC

Sentimentality is fine, but don’t complain when the Chiefs lack salary cap flexibility with Kelce’s nearly $20 million cap #… 5th highest on the team in 2025.

I really don’t want to buy into excuses or silly theories. But there’s just something about our incredibly rare awful body language and guys looking flat out spent to ask… is it possible there was a bug going around? Given that a few eagles were sick earlier in the week?

Same, to me Mahomes visibly looked exhausted, like he didn't sleep the night before. Travis, too with his posse, probably hard to sleep that night. The offense seemed in a paralysis and the defense decided it was time to have some stupid back breaking penalties.

It's possible. I'm not trying to offer up any theories or excuses. But something definitely seemed different with the team. Maybe just a team that had played 20 games for the past 7 seasons and it finally caught up with them.

Agree.

I just want him to take his conditioning seriously and show up to camp in shape.

If you’re going to play professional football then you need to lose the beer gut. Especially if you’re 35.
