Sooooo.........
1. Whoever the replay advisor is for the Chiefs needs to be fired immediately.....it was easy to see they were going to lose the first challenge on the long pass....his hands were clearly under the ball.....we could see it sitting on our sofas and we do not get paid to do this ####.....then when the replay guy should have been telling Reid to tell them to hurry up and snap the ball when they got a generous spot on the first down they wait and wait and wait allowing GB time to challenge....and they had to then punt....again sitting at home yelling at the screen "snap it snap it, snap it".....if we can see these from the comfort of our living rooms, how does a team not have someone competent in Reid's ear....
2. Moving forward this year and long term.....IMO one of the only things that will keep the Chiefs from winning are turnovers.....they almost lost the DET game because they did not protect the ball and allowed DET to punch it out like three times.....Chiefs still put up 34 and won, but they could have scored 50....
3. IMO.....they shouldn't even try to return kicks or punts.....just give Mahomes the ball at the 25.....and I like my chances....muffing a punt or fumbling on the return just isn't worth it....plus just about every kicking play has some type of penalty on the return and that backs them up anyway......KC did have a nice return last night, but to me thats an outlier.....
4. the defense is getting better....they play better when being more aggressive, hope it continues when they get healthy on that side of the ball.....all in all it seemed like they did a pretty good job containing Rodgers.....he exploited the LB covering the RB's, but I put that on the coaches....it was frustrating seeing them not adjust and put in a different package that prevented that matchup....
5. Mahomes returning and the defense playing better has me a little more optimistic than I was a few weeks ago, even though they have lost 3 games.....(all at home).....
6. when they are all healthy the amount of talent and speed on the offensive side of the ball is just ridiculous......again if they avoid turnovers, I think they can beat just about anybody even if the defense struggles.....if they can just get like 2 "stops" a game, they have a chance....unfortunately Brady and that running game/quick passing game will be tough to beat because they will just drain the clock, and that defense is no joke and may force the Chiefs to punt on occasion....
