Chiefs Boy it really feels like they're gearing up for a SB run this year. - Page 4

I know, technically they're doing it every year. But this year really seems different.

They've got Mahomes on the horizon. They've got cuts in a year in which Alex Smith, Tamba Hali, and Derrick Johnson probably won't be on this team. They know they're on the verge of a mini-rebuild around Mahomes.

As a result, they've padded the back end of the roster with some trades, and it really does seem the team is going all in on 2017 as Alex Smith's final push for a SB berth. It seems like they're all in for 2017.

If it doesn't work out, which with Brady in the AFC, it probably won't, they'll retool, sell some used parts, and start to build around Mahomes.

Zero.

Kemp doesn't drop balls and runs great routes. Conley improved upon his route running last year but he dropped too many balls.

I'm glad you thought it was a good performance....

This is the kind of flawed , moral victory type of thinking....did you even watch the game? They only had to punt ONE time. Our defense stopped them ONE time.

they had 35 minutes time of possession to our 25

they beat us soundly...

'holding them to 18 points' is meaningless if you just look at it with no context..... they ran all over us and ground the clock out....we couldnt stop them. Nor could we score on them.

I agree. How the NFL network ranks the Chiefs D as the No.1 fantasy Defense is beyond me.

well in fantasy its not usually about holding the team under yards or points...

sacks, ints, and TD's and special teams are what scores points. Chiefs had had a good fantasy defense a couple seasons in a row I think

The Chiefs won 12 games last year with him catching a measly 430 yards.

would you rather have maclin or wilson?

You seriously dont think maclin lining up on the other side helped kelce and hill?

I dunno man i hope you are right but i forsee problems with the receivers ...maybe i am overly worried but if we cant at least pretend we have a medium/deep passing game i think we are in big trouble in some games

No, I do not. Maclin is 29 years old and played like shit last year. His presence didn't affect Kelce or Hill.

Maclin wasn't a big play guy last year. Like Conley, he averaged 12 yards a catch.

Hill and Kelce will be the go to receivers this year, with Hunt being the 3rd option.

Conley and whomever is behind him become the 4th, 5th and 6th.

Thats why I said in one of the fantasy threads that TH is not really worth a high rd pick because he has no legit threat on the other side, he is no longer a secret weapon and DCs will specifically game plan for him. TH will be lethal once we get another legit WR on the other side and PM becomes QB.

**notorious** · 09-01-2017, 03:14 PM

**** Maclin. He let the team down when the needed him badly.

Bye.

I hate to break this to you but tyreek's yards per catch was 9.7

maclin beat them both (conley and hill) in yards per catch, and yards per game last season....despite battling a groin

I thoroughly disagree. DCs are not going to not game plan for Maclin. Regardless of Maclin's lack of production just his presence alone definitely helped Kelce and Hill.
