A Levelheaded Review week 1 2024

[DenverChief]

Worthy is gonna make this offense exciting again. The jet sweep really showed off his speed and the blown coverage was just beautiful to see.

Kingsley really held up well in his first start gave up a sack but overall was a good performance.

Pacheco has really upped his game - those jump cuts he uses now are just nasty.

J Taylor and his false start penalties again. Really hope he can get his early jumps worked out.

Chris Jones was feasting on a young inexperienced Ravens Oline.

The DB's didn't look as bad in this game as in the pre-season. The LB's (Bolton) were made to look silly a couple of times. I'd like to see some of the big gains cleaned up but I think a lot of that was all the time Lamar had in the pocket trying to contain him. Not super worried about it.

Connor had a couple of big hits and just missed getting an INT. I think his eyes got too big on that dropped INT and dropped an easy one.

Lamar was their whole offense and we still struggle to contain a super mobile QB - BUT I'll take making them into basically a one weapon team.

Hardman was a good choice as a PR/KR.

Juju was out there making some good blocks and almost had a TD.

Rice is gonna feast over the middle this year.

Starting the season 1-0 is great. Next week is going to be even better. I think this team is back to boat racing teams in scoring and turning them into a one dimensional offense trying to keep up.

[Womble]

That's the first seed done and dusted. No more road playoff games for Patrick. 20-0 baby.

I’m saying this with excitement and beer so bear with me

This is a huge win
But until worthy is fully capable of what we need, man Hollywood is going to make a huge difference

I’m a little sensitive to it because I’m still pissed that mahomes was insulted by not being considered best in the game. But also partly because I hate how many yards and points we keep on the table. I’m annoyed that this game didn’t do much to change the ball washing of Lamar vs mahomes

Great win but our offense is still capable of so so much more

Agreed - can't wait to see what he brings to the O - we are going to score 30+ a game again and if we can hold teams to under 24 a game we have a real shot at greatness

We were a dropped Pacheco and Perine pass away from blowing them out of the water. Mahomes would have had another 70 passing yards and two more TDs.

This offense is gonna be really, really good when Brown returns.

Yea those passes were a touch too much of a lead on the RBs. Someone will remind Mahomes to count an extra half Mississippi before the throwing to the backs. His WRs have him spoiled lol

Yeah I agree and you can probably blame mahomes for pulling a Justin Herbert and rifling passes a little too hot to his running backs. We also had the kelce drop. It shows that our floor is better than Baltimore’s ceiling which is great. But you can see some of the frustration in mahomes’ face. We haven’t fully unleashed mahomes yet. It took a blown coverage to get our only passing td. Hollywood will make a huge difference and (shudder) Mvs probably would have too. Great win but as a spoiled fan, it would’ve also been nice to have a statement game that put the ridiculous Lamar comparison to rest. Lamar did just enough for people to still stan him and to gripe about close calls but I think most of us know we can boat race that team last night on a good night let alone a great one. Good fuel going into the rest of the season.

For whatever it is, whether it's them or us (I'm open to the idea of Reid not wanting to really put it on his guy Harbitch), but we never seem to put a full game together against them and wreck them. They're good, too, so that is a thing.

But regardless what happens the rest of the year, we probably won't ever destroy them.

[FloridaMan88]

Just be a little less conservative, Andy… only negative I have for tonight.

This offense is going to be ridiculous when Hollywood is added.

[Molitoth]

That could be head to head home field advantage. Huge win.

And hopefully we can rest our starters on the week 17 game (Donk's) to be fresh for the post season.

[TLO]

Last year the defense bailed out the offense, a lot.

I have a feeling this season the offense is going to bail out the defense. At least for a while.

Special Teams looked great.

[ChiefsCountry]

Best overall team we will play this year. Also playing Lamar on a hot night not ideal for the DL. Much different come January.

[RunKC]

I don’t think Jaden Hicks played tonight. I did not see him.

That’s really surprising

I saw him on special teams, but not on defense.
