Chiefs Is it too early to start thinking about 2024? - Page 7

TLO · 12-10-2023, 07:23 PM

I don't want to give up on this current squad, but I think the evidence is clearly there that this isn't a Super Bowl caliber team.

There's plenty of reason for optimism heading into next season.

What kind of cap room are we working with?

What free agent WR's are likely to be available?

Talk about it here.

You really scared of Lamar in the playoffs?

problem is…it’s week 14 and they same shit is happening that’s been happening all season. it’s not going to all of a sudden just click

Sorry, that's the world we live in. This is not last year anymore.

I'm not disagreeing with that part. I'm just also aware who their QB is.

The Chiefs will have to flip the coin 3 times.

That lessens the chances.

That would be a coin flip.

Who is making fun of the Browns? Just pointing out that the Ravens aren't anywhere near unbeatable if a team without a QB can beat them.

Fair point, but he's playing better than Patrick right now.

Everything is hard for Patrick right now. Everything.

Lamar looks like he is having fun, even without Andrews.

Yes, but the Ravens decided to try to change their prior flame outs but adding weapons to give Lamar a chance.

Whether it works we will see but at least they tried to improve it.

If you don't get to Lamar fast he will have 4-5 guys that can get open and he can buy time himself.

I've seen Lamar play really well in the regular season before too. I wonder what happened in those seasons at the end.

You're kinda manufacturing your own argument there my dude.

Nobody declared the Ravens world beaters. They are statistically the best AFC team today.

Get over yourself.

But can he make the throws under pressure when it matters?

I wonder what past evidence would tell us on that point.

My guy, you called the Ravens clearly the best team in the AFC right now. They aren't clearly the best anything at all and you'd know that if you spent any time watching that shitshow of a game they played today against the Rams.

All he has to do is score more than the other team. So far this year it is working a lot better than our formula of giving Mahomes no professional WR's to throw to.

They are just like the Bills. Good enough to beat anyone but absolutely not good enough to win four playoff games in a row. I think that’s the disconnect people have. It’s hard to say they can’t make the Super Bowl against this level of competition because of their pedigree, but the chances they don’t have a carbon copy game to any of their four similar losses are zero.

Hammock Parties · 12-10-2023, 08:41 PM

We knew how 2018 was going to end, even with Patrick being Patrick.

Deep down, we knew.

The Chiefs ended that regular season very inconsistently, too.

You know now.
