8. First big problem is penalties. KC has been Raideresque in their penalties this year. We must get some penalty discipline, and get it soon.
Not sure where this is suddenly coming from this year and the only thing I can guess is that on defense the guys are not good so they get penalties trying to "cheat" by holding and other tactics. Our offensive line we have had big turnover with injuries and lots of issues with false starts and holding and hands to the face.


7. Second big problem is tackling.
We are whiffing on guys when we have them cornered for a loss or little gain. We also can't seem to bring down a guy unless we have four-on-one!

6. Third big problem is pass coverage.
We let guys get wide open too easy by finding soft spots in the zone and also bad backup when a DB releases a WR to the safety.

2. Kudos to the offensive line, which was four Cleveland castoffs and Fisher. Fisher only gave up one sack to Garrett, who’s arguably the best pass rusher in the NFL. Mahomes had all day to throw for most of the game.
Hmmmmm, I may have to disagree on this one GB. I thought our guys were getting beat all day and Mahomes scrambled out of the pocket all day and pretty quick once the protection broke down. I also think our OLine had 4 of the 5 guys getting penalties.

1. So, 8-1 is fabulous.
This is a very different 8-1 than ever before and our early undefeated season where we were 9-0 and then shit the bed. This ain't happening with Mahomes and this team.

Thanks GB one of your deeper insight Ten Things and only disagreed with your OLine assessment.

There is NO reason we should not make the Super Bowl the way we have played ALL 9 games including the loss. I'm not afraid of any team if they come to KC.

Most eager I've been to watch a Chiefs game in my entire 48 year viewing history.

Let's keep the train rolling with a blowout at home against the Cards!
