Is it too early to start thinking about 2024?
 

I don't want to give up on this current squad, but I think the evidence is clearly there that this isn't a Super Bowl caliber team.

There's plenty of reason for optimism heading into next season.

What kind of cap room are we working with?

What free agent WR's are likely to be available?

Talk about it here.

Another year of "development" for Skyy Moore.

We need to go 3-1 to make the playoffs. We’ll probably get to the playoffs but we need our Iteam to start playing lights out football right now or we’re one and done. I still love ❤️ my favorite football team, The Kansas City Chiefs regardless how we finish this year.

We know how this story ends.

Time to write a new one.

This is not a superbowl team. I'd be surprised if they could win 1 playoff game at this point.

The team is solid except for the WR room which needs a complete overhaul.
**** speed, bring in some smart WR's who are willing to put in the work with Mahomes and who have a really low drop rate. If a WR can't catch, he is useless.... don't care how fast he is.

I don’t think it’s too early. This team isn’t a contender.

Of course you can always reel off a few wins, but there’s no reason to suspect that we will given that we’re losing to .500 teams

This isn't a SB team so def not too early.

Reminds me of the Alex Chiefs

Yes and no.

This team can absolutely put it together for a run. The opponents they are facing give them all kinds of chances.

Beyond that I think one of the reasons I am not more mad is I see our window as wide open and our problems as very fixable in one off season.

Wtf kind of pussy ass shit is this?

We just saw exactly how the playoffs will go last week and this week.. Oh well.. Bet there will be some professional WRs here next year..

If we don’t get on a run, at least we’ll draft higher than we have been and could be in a position to go up higher for a guy we really like..

You ****ing quitters.

Way too early. We saw tonight they are capable of beating their best AFC competition. They outgained them and more yards per play. Every week they are beating themselves with penalties, drops and turnovers. It's not like there is some big talent gap with the Ravens, Dolphins or Bills (who they beat). You really scared of Lamar in the playoffs?

I'm not giving up on the damn season. We outplayed the Eagles for 95% of that game. We should've beat Buffalo again. We should've beat Detroit without Kelce or Chris Jones. We made a ton of mistakes to lose to the Broncos. Nobody in the AFC is so good that the Chiefs can't go into their house and beat them. We've already beaten Miami and Jacksonville on the road and in a neutral stadium.

If the team keeps shooting themselves in the foot with dumb drops, penalties, or fumbles, then so be it. Just play a clean game and you give yourself a good chance to win against anyone.

It's too early, but potential off-season moves are certainly creeping toward the front of my mind.

With Mahomes it ain't over til it's actually over.

Toney's ass stitches are self dissolving?

Don't miss the Super Bowl by thinking about next year.

Do you remember when we knew how every season with Alex would end?

In your heart of hearts, you knew. And the big games during the regular season always ended almost exactly the same way.

We know how this season ends.

It won't get easier for our shit-****ing WRs or sorry-ass run defense in the playoffs and definitely not on the road.

Every playoff team is capable of scoring 20 points and that's unfortunately all it takes to beat the Chiefs in 2023.

RIP

Hopefully we draft a WR in the first round. Veach made 2 errors by drafting CEH in the first round and Sky Moore in the second. I still think he’s the best GM in the NFL.

We can beat any team in the afc. We can also lose to just about any team in the playoffs. No margin for error.

I think I will finish this year first.

The Browns would give us a hell of a game.

Who are your SB caliber teams from the AFC though?

Not that I want to bank on being the least sucky of the sucky teams, but come on... it's not like they've been uncompetitive.

Yes it’s too early. We are a playoff team with the best qb ever to play pretty much. Defense is legit. So we’ve always got a chance if we get our foot in the door. It will just take uncharacteristic focus and execution from the offense to capitalize.

The next Super Bowl is in 2024 so I will think about that, yes.

Imagine other fans coming to this board and seeing pathetic threads like this when we have Patrick Mahomes and a good chance at the playoffs.

First round bye is practically out of reach and the postseason is biased to reward the team that gets it with an easy road to the SB.

They get the two seed and draw the equivalent of the last Roethlisberger Steelers team in the wild card for an easy postseason win but it's pollyannaish to think they're going to reach the AFCCG.

Baltimore is a clearly better team right now. The Chiefs are skidding against a bunch of shit mid tier teams.

Trusting other QBs over Mahomes in the playoffs won't end well for you, I expect.

The Niners are clearly better? Who else? Sure, we kinda suck, but it's not as if the other AFC teams are world beaters. Buffalo was a better than we were when we beat them in 2021 -- people act as if it was a given we'd make it to the AFC Championship all these years when every year we had scares.

Yes, there's plenty to be frustrated with but this bundle of sticksized giving up shit -- it's unbecoming of anyone with a modicum of testosterone.

You folks are deluding yourselves if you think we have a shot at repeating.

We don't even know if our best offensive weapon is going to be 100% in the playoffs.

The Bills aren't a particularly good defense, with 0 scary pass rushers, lost a starter at DE during the game, and they looked elite for a good portion of the afternoon.

If this offense has to play an elite defense it's curtains.

Baltimore just got outplayed by a below .500 Rams team all game today at home and only survived in overtime because McVay is a moron. Great team though.

Bills DL is pretty good, it is their garbage secondary that we didn't test that says it all.

I'll take that over losing to two limp dicks back to back.

I mean all these issues are fixable. As frustrating as it is to hear it, it truly is a lack of discipline and focus. Whether or not they will get it fixed, I have my doubts.

Go on, trust Lamar Jackson in the playoffs in a month. I'm sure it's gonna end great.

The Chiefs typically go into the playoffs with the offense humming.

This year it is a total shitshow.

I guess they could get their shit together over the last four games against bad teams, but watch them lose to the Bengals.

Won't THAT feel great.

"But, Mahomes!" You'll scream.

Not this year.

Bills are miles better than the Rams. #6 in DVOA right now compared to #19.

And the Chiefs probably win if Toney doesn't line up offside.

But sure, the Ravens are top tier.

They're still a sloppy team. Every week it's the same sloppy mistakes. It's maddening.

There's nothing to say about the offseason we don't already know.

-Chris Jones will be likely gone.
-Extend Sneed
-Make a splash signing at WR
-Sign a really good DT
-Draft a WR in the first round
-Draft DT in the second
-Make a decision on Donavon Smith, Willie Gay, and Danna.

The rest is kind of peanuts. That's the offseason.

These WR issues are only fixable if these guys turn into something they aren’t.

As fans, we can do whatever we want.

I hope the team doesn’t look ahead for a second though. Win out, get the 2 or 3, and see what happens. Never know what will happen.

Stay healthy and get to the postseason with a decent seed.

Tell me which AFC team is gonna beat Mahomes in the playoffs.

You're giving the AFC competition way too much credit. The Raven lost to the freaking Steelers. It's wide open in the AFC.

This teams needs at least 4 NFL caliber WR's added to roster.

Doesn’t Mahomes have a better win %age on the road?

You don’t have any balls and at this point I’m wondering if you’ve even got a dick.

Take your wounded vagina and go get ****ed, hoe ass bitch.

You're spinning this way harder than anyone should be.

I'll believe it when I see it in the playoffs... wasn't long ago they went 14-2 with some nutty point differential and promptly shit down their leg in the playoffs.

Not saying they aren't better than that team or they can't contend for a SB, but it's just a different season once they get there.

Much like the Eagles last season... it's not like I thought they were trash, but it really wasn't until the first half of the Super Bowl playing a team like the Chiefs that I was like... yup, they're pretty good. LMAO (of course, for that example I could come up with 10 more "scary" regular season teams that shit down their leg in the playoffs)

Patriots were 10-6 twice with Tom and got spanked in the playoffs both times. Not every year is gonna be like the last 5

Nope, the WR group has realistic fans thinking about doing what needs to be done for draft position.

The Ravens, Dolphins or Jaguars will beat us.

We're not playing as well as we did when we beat 2/3 of those teams.

It's easy to paper over our faults and say "we already beat them!"

That's what Bills fans said about the Chiefs in 2021, and Bengals fans said about the Chiefs in 2022.

Didn't work for them, won't work for us.

Every AFC contender has a bead on our offense and we've shown little ability to find cover. The headshot is coming.

The post isn't a statement that things can't be turned around but you can't say they're playing like the best AFC team right now. It's just flat out not true.

That's just the way it goes sometimes.

Same thing happened to the Niners in 85, 86 and 87.

We'll be back.

We also have to pray we don't play the Broncos again in the playoffs.

Probably no team in the NFL is better prepared to shut us down offensively.

Salary cap be damned, we’ll find our Shoei Hatani next year…

How is pointing out that the Ravens barely beat a garbage Rams team in overtime at home spinning anything? LMAO

Your position on the Ravens made no sense.

We gotta somehow get Diggs

This thread will not age well.

Ravens are vulnerable to a team with good WR's to attack their corners. That was why the Rams matched up well.

Doesn't apply to everyone, especially us as we don't have those guys.

Yes it will.

This team will not sniff the AFC Championship, let alone the Super Bowl.

I wouldn't want to desecrate Arrowhead with an embarrassing AFCCG loss anyway.

If you had said the Bills or Bengals instead (who I expect both to make it), I might have actually taken this argument somewhat seriously.

No way I'm trusting Lamar Jackson or Tua in the playoffs with their tremendous limitations.

And the Jaguars? LMAO

Yeah, the home/road doesn't matter.

Losing the BYE sucks but only one team gets it. We don't deserve the BYE.

A team can win three games and make the SB. Happens all the time. Wild card teams can make the SB.

The problem is they're playing their worst football late in the season. If they started 4-4 but are now 8-5, that would look much better. It's hard to see them putting it together.

Not giving up, but I’m anxiously waiting to see how Veach cleans up his own mess. Clark had better be ready to open up his pocket book and use cash spending to leverage our cap room and allow for a complete reset of the WR room. A 1st rd pick alone isn’t gonna cut it, and at this point someone like Mooney at WR isn’t enough for a veteran acquisition.

Veach had better figure it out

Just make the tourney and I wouldn't take ANYONE over the Chiefs.

Your position in general makes no ****ing sense. They are the #1 seed with a 2 game lead on us now while we struggle to reach 20 points a game.

I don't think we have any room to talk currently. Even against a RB playing QB. We're mediocre as heck.

But yeah, definitely no chance to come out of the AFC.

Pissed off Pat about to go on a run…

What position? That the Ravens aren't clearly superior to the Chiefs?

Again, the same team that you are glorifying for no good reason played a really shitty game today against an awful team and were lucky to win. Nothing about them makes me think they are a tier above anybody and certainly not a Chiefs team that has the best QB in NFL history healthy and active on the roster.

LMAO

Sloppy, but they're close. They need a chip on their shoulder and I think they have one.

It's also time to feature Rice. He's the best offensive weapon on the team at this time.

We can beat anyone in the AFC. The AFC is weak as hell this year

The Rams offense has been far more potent than the Chiefs lately.

Have you watched them at all recently?!


;)

gonna be hard for him to do that when what makes him special, escaping the pocket and improvising, has also been almost completely shut down

teams have figured out this year more than ever how to shut down his ad-libbing, because they have no fear of blitzing or playing safeties near the line

i'll be satisfied if we win one playoff game, but even that is looking dubious

Is that why the Browns without a QB beat them a few weeks ago?

any playoff game for the chiefs will be a coin flip

we go into zero games with the ability to say "we will dominate this side of the ball"

just isn't a thing anymore for us

We can beat anyone. We can also lose to anyone.

Not giving up on this team, but also am more than willing to talk about the future--hopefully Veach is already formulating a plan to get better (I think he is, it is his job)

Teams can play man 1 vs 1 against everyone but Kelce and we pretty much can't do shit about it.

If the season ended today, we'd be playing the Steelers. Coin flip though.
