This team when healthy will over-match every other team in the league. The defense is much improved over last year and over what they were playing like a few weeks ago.
Jesus, do you doubters realize that we nearly beat the Packers with a patch-work DL and a back-up QB that was coaching high school ball a few weeks ago? And our defense sacked Rodgers 5 times, I don't know how many pressures, nearly picked him twice, and held their RB tandem to below their season average rushing? Or that if it weren't for two receptions that were truly legend-status, we would've won that game? |

The Chiefs may very well make the playoffs, but if so, I would not expect much.

Veach has done enough damage. He needs to not do anymore. He had his chance all off season. It is what it is now.

The other team will just play keep away with 8 minute drives.

If Spags’ blitz schemes can have some success against Rodgers, it can work against anybody.
This is exactly the style of defense we need to complement the offense and fully utilize our defensive personnel. This year we won’t suffer through Grandpa Bob’s “sit back and die from a thousand paper cuts” D. |

Team proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are not just Mahomes. When he comes back, the team will go on a run.

I actually agree with clay gulp
Get jones and Clark back and keep playing defense like that. Get the offense healthy and they can beat anyone |

We had 3 rookies and 3 2nd year guys taking the bulk of the snaps on defense. That experience is going to be BIG come play-off time. The team needed to have to live without Mahomes for a stretch; they need their own identity, not just sit back and wait for Mahomes to win it. They damn near beat Rodgers in a game in which they were missing like 7 of their best players. Coaching staff prepared excellent game plans and almost stole it. I feel very optimistic. If we can get healthy, we're gonna roll people. |

There was a lot to like tonight. Solid run defense again, 5 sacks without Clark or Jones playing a snap, good performances from the O Line and skill positions to support a back up QB.
Yes, there are still holes in this roster. LB is still an issue. But as long as we don't make any future wrecking trades, the future is bright and I could see us becoming like a Saints team that is a pretty complete team all around. |

Regardless of who comes back on D I don’t expect the D to be very good... but good enough, yes.
We need all our offensive pieces healthy. They look borderline unstoppable when they’re all out there with Mahomes. |

The stupid reason we're better on the road is that we're playing shitty teams on the road and losing to playoff teams at home. Last year in the regular season we were 2-4 vs playoff teams. Obviously we went 1-1 in the playoffs. This year we're 1-3 vs teams that are likely playoff teams. Only one of those losses were without Pat. There is a flaw with this team, and it has nothing to do with Arrowhead. It has to do with the fact that we CANNOT count on our defense in the 4th Q to get a good QB off the field. |
