RIP my Athletic account after the comment I just made on that piece of shit 'newsletter'.

One-score wins vs bad teams by KC in the dynasty era:

2019
KC 34 DET 30
KC 24 LAC 17

2022
KC 30 LVR 29
KC 20 TEN 17
KC 34 DEN 28
KC 30 HOU 24
KC 27 DEN 24

2023
KC 23 NYJ 20
KC 27 MIN 20

If only the Chiefs had beaten these crappy teams by larger margins, their Lombardis would have been shinier.

It's not good for their pulse records though.

I agree the game wasn't stressful. The only part of the game that elicited a bit of "ahhh ****, we need this!" emotion from me was when we had a third down on our final drive. Obviously whooped and celebrated the scores but instead of anger or concern for our defensive **** ups I just quietly sat there with my palm stuck to my face.

We also had losses against teams with losing records in 2019, 2022 and 2023!

Yeah, the defense did exactly what I thought it would do when they forced the 3 and out in the 4th quarter... and then of course the opposite of what I thought after.

And then it was "****, we're really doing this?" And even after all that if the Chiefs don't end the game, there's an OT coin flip, the possibility of ending the game by getting the ball and scoring a TD, the Panthers possibly needing to score.....

Goes to show just how much FA you can do before you really FO.... and we've seen over and over how they figure out how to win games.

Pats went 18-0 and then lost in the SB to a 10-6 team. Don't get too cocky.

No body is whining, it's called being concerned.

To this day, Patriots players argued that they lost because they opened up their playbook to beat the Giants to preserve their undefeated record to end the season.

Multiple players argued it gave the Spags and the Giants (and the Chargers, but they couldn’t capitalize) the roadmap to slow down their offense. I’ve always been curious about the tell they showed on tape.

Now we know the impetus for the Chiefs playing vanilla.

Spags told Reid all about that year.

You forgot 2020. Eight straight one-score wins to close out that season.

Probably the best, most complete team we’ve had in the Mahomes era and we were eking out narrow wins over teams like the Teddy Bridgewated Panthers, rookie Tua Dolphins, Broncos, Raiders, and the Falcons with God-knows-who at QB.

…If only Fisher’s achilles could have lasted four more quarters.

And Britt Reid waited until he got home to get liquored up.

The Brady refs were much easier to stomach with that disaster of an OL.

Had we been more competitive and gotten ****ed by the refs to give Brady another ring, it would’ve been very difficult to accept.

I will always wonder about what the game would have been had the INT stood.

This right here is the only thing I'm concerned about right now.

I am not worried about a Mahomes and Andy offense in the playoffs until they show us reasons to. Especially with the reinforcements coming at LT, WR, and RB.

But the defense... I dunno. It's reminding me a LOT of 2022 right now when it seemed like they couldn't get stops in those Nov/Dec games if their season depended on it. And really, they couldn't in SB LVII either.

We are putting a lot of eggs in the Charles Omenihu post-ACL basket to be a hero. I think Nazeeh's better than he generally gets credit for, but this defense can't play man coverage with any consistency right now and they can't get pressure when playing soft zone.

Yeah I'm feeling the same. Offense I'm pretty confident with, even with the dodgy OT play. The defense, man, it's a tougher one. I think our secondary with Sneed and Watson did a lot of heavy lifting for our DL. You can get away with a ponderous/non-existant pass rush when the secondary is sticky and gives you time. Now we're asking the DL to win quickly and it can't.

I've got a bit of hope Uche gets worked in and Omenihu comes back balling.

If that injury never happened, the Chiefs likely win that Super Bowl and Fisher could still very well be the Chiefs LT.

He’s 33 years old, but that injury essentially ended his career.

Only thing I'm even slightly concerned about is the lack of pass rush and replacing Watson.

Is Joshua Williams THAT bad? Because Nazeeh ain't it.

I guess the bright side is that 2022 team still would’ve won the Super Bowl if not for an inexplicable Mahomes AFCCG collapse. Confident they beat the Rams if they get there.

This team also has a significantly better run defense than that one. At least, this team can make the opponent pretty one dimensional.

Well I'm referring to the 2022 team that won the SB against Philly boss

But yes, the 2021 defense was much the same. Little worse.

Man, I don’t even know what year it currently is lol

But yeah, that makes a lot more sense now that I’m not an idiot.

This is just in!!! People who are the best at what they do set high standards for themselves and their teammates!

Film at 11.

Man, Williams was looking like a gangly and uncoordinated doofus in coverage at times last year.

Nazeeh has been giving up catches, but he hasn’t really been responsible for broken coverage or missing tackles.

I know it’s painful to see him let all these plays happen and never reward us with turnovers or other big plays to offset the bad, but it just is what it is. I’m not sure Josh Williams can even do that

Look if Josh Williams was so much better, he'd be playing.

He isn't.

Our best hope is that Johnson gets this season of starter reps under his belt and can improve as the season goes along, and get to a point where he doesn't have a flashing neon bullseye on his back saying "Throw Here".

It's not just experience Johnson needs, but it's an ACL comeback going on.

The odds of him getting better as we go are actually pretty good. Same as it was with Wharton last year.

Anyone who doesn’t think the defense is concerning is either not paying attention or willfully refusing to acknowledge the problem. Maybe Omenihu and Uche are able to boost the pash rush significantly or maybe not. Aside from McDuffie the secondary isn’t good enough to cover even for another split second absent a pass rush. This is big problem. Spags deserves the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps he can get things fixed. But to me it seems that the issue is a lack of talent and ability and unlikely to be fixed. As a result the margin of error for this team is even thinner. Let’s hope that a healthy Pacheco/Hunt backfield along with possibly getting Hollywood back takes some pressure off the defense.

There is a reason Veach tried to trade for Lattimore.

Xavien Howard is still available.

The way I see it the defense can def be better but wout Watson - nothing drastic. So the offense has got to become elite for us to win it all.

When SB comes, if Chiefs get there, it's more than likely going to be Lions or Eagles. I don't have confidence in our D being able to stop either offense under 30. So again, the offense has to keep getting better as Mahomes himself has said.

Pretty valid.

Luckily both those NFC teams have suffered major injuries at edge rusher this year and hopefully that will keep them from hammering our tackles too badly.

Holthus on 610.

"Go ask Demeco Ryans or Mike Tomlin how they feel today. They lost a game like this."

LMAO

And that’s a great point.

Contenders lose to shit teams. It happens.

All of them would prefer a close win.

Enjoy the journey frens

Gained some ground on the Chargers the last couple days, which is nice to see.

Holthus on @TheFan965

"Score differential is a testimony to the Chiefs, NOT an indictment. 14 straight victories by one score...that's more than luck."

"What I love about this team is the emotional maturity. There is 0 panic on either side of the ball when the house is burning down."

Gained some ground on the Ravens over the weekend, which is nice to see. Bengals probably missing the Playoffs, which is great.

Lamar has looked like playoff Lamar these past few weeks, and Justin Tucker is absolutely cooked. 10 missed kicks. These guys aren't going anywhere.

The Chiefs are on pace to score 400 points this year, almost 30 points more than last year’s total (371). This despite the losses of WR1 & 2, and serious problems at LT. Great job by Reid, Nagy, Patrick and everyone else for persevering.

That is amazing… Wow.

Nice call, tweaker.

Wow! Never imagine that.

Ah. Took a break from fantasizing about banging your mother to drop in a lil jab about a post made weeks ago when Williams got benched eh?

It's another miss, dilphag. Stick to what you know, which is apparently every last curve and crevice of your mothers body.

****in pervert.

10 pounder was laid on the table

impressive

What about the defense?

We really are spoiled AF.

I mean, what woulda happened in 2019 if we lost Hill and Watkins for almost the entire year?

We certainly wouldn't have been 13-1. And I know, Rice isn't Hill. But production wise he was gonna be close.

2023: 17.3/g
2024: 18.5/g

Well, what else can we whine about?


Butker missed last weekend, that's not ideal!

Records against teams currently in the playoffs:

Chiefs: 5-1
Eagles: 5-1
Steelers: 4-1
Lions: 5-2
Ravens: 5-3
Bucs: 4-3
Vikings: 2-2
Rams: 2-3
Bills: 2-3
Packers: 2-4
Texans: 1-3
Broncos: 1-4
Chargers: 1-5
Commanders: 0-4

Yeah, it's a little nuts the Chiefs will have played the entire AFC playoff field with the Broncos and Chargers twice, and potentially the first team out Bengals.

The putrid Raiders really drag down the SoS.

Hardman and DRob as the starting WR’s.

At least they’d have prime Kelce.

I gotta say, this team doesn't look tired.

Maybe Kelce. But two weeks off will do him wonders.

Big win today. Offense looked pretty good against a high quality defense that gave Buffalo & Detroit a hard time.

Would be awesome if the Chiefs can beat Pittsburgh on Wednesday and give Coach Reid the opportunity to rest a bunch of guys in the Denver game.

I really want to see Carson Wentz and the B team demoralize the Denver Donks. FDF

Gonna guess the Chiefs don't actually care about being the first team to win 19 games.

Would be hilarious if the Patriots were to some how pull off the upset against the Bills today, and the Chiefs lock up the 1 seed with a Bills loss.

This is Andy's best year yet. Offense is made of paper mache and dreams, and we're 14-1 with the 1 seed almost locked up.

How did the refs help the Chiefs win this week. The Chiefsplanet version

Best KC roster in years. Best record in years. Best record in the NFL. Best coaching staff in the NFL. Best postseason QB of all time.

Written off by the masses, including many Chiefs fans. AFTER seeing what they did less than a year ago.

You truly can't make it up. LMAO

We're going to stomp some hapless mid team in the Divisional round and then you'll see people finally start to realize WHAT WE ARE.

We have been and always will be the 49ers dynasty on ****ing steroids.

We're Fat Walsh and Dad Bod Montana. And we're gonna last a lot longer than 10 years.
