A Level Headed Review Week 8 2024

[DenverChief]

First drive was a thing of beauty. Dhop with the nice 13 yard catch on 3rd and 7, Kelce with a 25 yard reception and then Perine with a nice 21 yard catch on the rainbow pass from Mahomes on 3rd and 5. Then Hunt capping off the drive with two hard runs on goal to go. Offense seems to be getting back on track.

I just noticed...Garner Minshew II who the hell names their kid after themselves with that kinda name

Defense seems like it needs to feel out the offense on the first drive.

Mahomes looks like he has a smashed finger on his non-throwing hand


A Watson sighting with a nice 19 yard catch.

Mahomes either over threw Dhop or Dhop shorted his route....either way he was wide open and that should have been a completion.

Run defense is very stout. Love seeing them stuff anything run between the tackles.

Karlaftis with the nice deflection to end the Raiders drive.

3rd Chiefs offensive series:
Nice seeing Worthy getting some short yardage catches.
Kelce with the nice 1st down with the shovel pass.

That damned offensive offsides call - Fortson needs to be aware of the LOS

Steele sighting with the catch on the swing pass.

Shitty Raider field, Hunt could have had more if not for that slip and fall on the swing pass out of the backfield.

Great catch by Kelce for the TD and Dhop was just as excited for Kelce to get the TD. Love seeing that, I think Dhop is gonna really enjoy this ride.

Johnson out with a concussion...getting thin at CB as well

Jones just swallowed up Myers on that jet sweep lol

McDuffie chasing down Minshew was just beautiful. Too bad he couldn't get the sack but the end result was just as good.

Now we get a look at the "2 minute" offense with 58 seconds left.

The Kelce lateral to Perine was beautiful, just looked like Perine got caught looking up field and dropped the pitch. Good recovery and fortunate to be able to get out of bounds. I know we have all seen 13 seconds but it amazes me still what Pat and this offense can do with very little time.

Dhop with the 16 yard catch to put us in FG range AND put Pat at over 30,000 yards passing in his career fastest to make that mark in 103 games.


Defense starts the 2nd half stuffing everything they try.

Gah I thought the illegal block in the back penalty was pretty ticky tacky. There was a slight push in the back on the return, not sure it even had a huge impact on the return. But the refs love us.

The ball was a little low for Kelce but gotta make those catches, then Worthy not able to bring that pass in.

That was an amazing acting job by the Raider returner - Williams did not put that much effort into that but he made it look like he body slammed him. Bad call imo.

The holding on J Williams was weird, they didn't show it and it was a super late call.

Our run defense is just disgusting. Go ahead and try and run against us.

Karlaftis with the timely sack.

Can we stop with the blocks in the back Hicks? Pretty please?

What a terrible offensive series - Wanya was getting owned, lucky that wasn't a safety on the first hold.

Pat getting that pass hit on the third attempt at 1st down looked like Taylor let that guy thru.

What a DEFENSIVE stand that was.. Holy shit our running D is stout. Our defense really saved our bacon on that series. Raiders should have taken the 3 points - they will regret that.

What a catch by Gray to clean up the dropped pass by Worthy. To be fair it looks like the defender got his hand on the ball as worthy tried to catch it.

Great march down the field to get in the red zone but couldn't punch it in. Worthy gotta work on holding on to the ball. Seems to have difficulty keeping it secure when challenged just a little bit.

Nice forced fumble by Pennel.

Great catch and run by Worthy for the TD. This is by far one of my fav pics from the game.


Seems like our DB room needs some serious help. Rolland-Wallace and Williams were pretty consistently getting picked on thru the game. Maybe one more move is for a CB.

Fortson hurt again and it doesn't look good.

32-5 against the AFC west is Mahomes in his career.

He has said he looks up to Rodgers and try to emulate him.

Williams looks completely lost out there. Is this the same guy that played so well last year?

We need to figure out the 2nd CB position quick. Spags will adjust to what we have but damn I didn’t expect the drop off to go so far with Watson’s injury.

That said we only gave up 20 due to ****ing prevent defense.

I said last week Perine needs more carries. Hunts legs are going to fall off.

Some reason they’re feeding Steele over Perine.

And NO penalties today. Though, Morris picked up his slack.

[Mecca]

They're expecting Pacheco back so they're riding Hunt for now.

Was he in the same role? Last year they had Sneed carrying a big load.

Saints lost against today. Lets not F around with the three peat over one glaring weakness, Veach. Go get Marshon Lattimore and let the rest of the league grab their ankles.

Still would have a huge problem at LT..

I trust Mahomes/Kelce/Reid in the playoffs. Dont want a weak link on that defense.

Agreed - while we need a functional offense, our defense is gonna carry us through the tough spots.

[DenverChief]

I don't know if anyone else caught it but the pass to Dhop just before half for 13 yards was the pass that pushed Mahomes over 30,000 yards passing in his career. How fitting is it that Dhop was the WR that helped him reach that milestone.

[BlackHelicopters]

Good review.

Our run defense puts offenses in passing situations more than usual.. McDuffy had some contested catches on him too..

This series of thread starters is basically OP jotting down what they see during the game. Why not use the game day thread? I don’t get much of a ‘review’ vibe from this.

This isn’t cohesive - I appreciate the effort, but maybe work on the format. We could read the play-by-play and get 90% of what’s happening here.

Needs a quick review and summarization and it will be good to go.
