People need to just accept that the regular season is the preseason for the Chiefs. They’re just playing around and figuring things out.

If Hollywood Brown wasn’t hurt the offense would look super explosive. Teams would have to choose who to double between, Brown, Rice, worthy and Kelce, teams would be getting smoked. But unfortunately. The brown injury really had a major impact on the offense. Kelce is always covered the rookie worthy is fast but has to improve his route running so everything falls on rice. But the Champs will only Improve as the season goes on.

[@McLoven-vm1ck]

And the running game has been consistent. Teams understand that they're going to have to deal with that and won't be able to pull the whole shell coverave, safeties over the top strategy every game on every snap. Mahomes and the Chiefs offense lead to a shift in defensive schemes in the NFL. Assuming we eventually have everybody healthy at the same time though, teams are going to be forced into picking their poison and that may be a difficult position indeed.

[@larry-the-g]

We forget the fact that Reid calls plays conservatively when the chiefs are in the lead. When the chiefs didn’t have a defense, Mahomes was always airing it out because they were always behind. Now they don’t need to score 40 to win. The Chiefs feel like a team that plays down to their competition.

[@mRakmYaer]

I also think Chiefs are content to use the run game to soften the defense while Brown is out, Xavier is learning how to run NFL routes (some rough looking route running yesterday), and Travis ramps up his body. The run game, even with Pacheco, is fine. Not good enough to pull the safeties up. Mahomes more willing to take downfield chances this year (the good) but the receivers aren't quite good enough to consistently win tightly contested throws (the bad). So he makes mistakes early trying to stretch the field, then retreats to throwing underneath when possessions start to become limited. Also, Cheifs need to address scoring TDs inside 30 ... they consistently move the ball down the field, but end drives kicking field goals half the time, again losing drives on running the ball instead of giving it to Mahomes. Just my observations.

[@dabears87_76]

Spags watching teams take every opening drive down for a TD and then making adjustments is key.

[@plpfctn2007]

Like last year, the chiefs have the best defense in the NFL

[@roblockhart8410]

The Chiefs decided they wanted to get Kelce going and it was Kelce drop on 3rd down that killed the momentum they had. They are also so good that they always try and get cute in the redzone and come out with a play that’s going to wow you and it ends up backfiring on them a lot of times. So when you say they kind of play with their food you are absolutely right but they are so good that they always find a way to get the W by the end. I have no doubt that if Falcons got the touchdown Chiefs would have come back with a minute left and won the game. I think playing in these tight situations makes them a better team come playoff time when games go down to the wire. They play these teams that are used to blowing teams out and sit on the bench for the last quarter while Chiefs have a lot of experience making a championship type drive.

[@Tank_That]

This was perfectly referenced and articulated. You completely realize the state of this team.

Just don't be ever surprised when they get 35 points. Then everyone will say, "well, there you go".

[@MarvSimons]

I don’t think the Chiefs have an offensive idea and creativity issue. It would be nice if they could add someone more dynamic with Brown out. Their running game is still more than serviceable. I think you guys are being a little too harsh on their offense tonight particularly. The Falcons have arguably the best safety duo in the league and I think that played apart in the offense/ play calling tonight.

[@johnkessler9878]

They just played two playoff games against balt and cincy to start this season. They are banged up. Usually two or three guys are on Kelcy. Yet they find a way to win. If the Chargers can beat the Chiefs it will be the highlight of their entire season. And the Chiefs draft last every year.

Our offense really has no excuse and a lot of it is on Mahomes. yes we have some guys injured but Patty is not going through his reads well and he is missing guys on 1st and 2nd downs. I feel he is reverting back to looking for the big play too much because he knows the guys he has on offense right now instead of taking things underneath. he is not good fundamentally right now. Other than him its a combo of us playing some good defenses in the ravens and bengals, teams doubling kelce every play, and still figuring the offense out with new guys pugged in. We will find out footing though and one of these teams in the next 3 or 4 games will be in for a terror

[@legochickenguy4938]

i think also the entire league has pivoted their defensive strategy to stop high volume passing offenses, a style that the chiefs were certainly at the forefront of, but they pivoted to good defense and managing the game at the right time

[@CurtisDishman]

I think a piece that is being missed is the KC playbook. Same thing as last year we leave it very simple throughout the year and then when playoffs come around, we open up a little bit. It’s very hard to prepare in the playoffs. If you don’t know, all the players are gonna run. On top of that, I would be willing to bet that we got into a tight spot on our schedule and started dropping losses. I bet you see the offense wake up and start calling on some of those more complex plays that you see in the playoffs.

Mahomes is not the HC of the Chiefs..Mahomes runs what Andy Reid calls.. Never think Mahomes couldn't throw for 400 yds and 4 TD's if he is given the chance. Reid has decided this is the type of football they're going to play. Mahomes just following orders.

[@fixitquick79]

Can't let him too off the hook. I understand what you are saying. But Mahomes has made a few really bad decisions in the moment. Tried to push it too much instead of just taking the check down. I am not gonna cry about it because we are still winning but it is just the price for having Mahomes trying to be big offensive stats Mahomes of a couple years ago. I will say, Nagy is a problem. He is too buddy buddy with Mahomes and the offensive players. He doesn't push him or the players and call them on their crap like Bienemy did. EB didn't care if they thought he was an A-hole. He just pushed them to correct their mistakes and go for the throat. That is the main thing we are missing since he left. There is no A-hole hard nosed coach to counter balance Reid.

EVERYBODY wants another season like their first 2 with Mahomes. Nobody could hardly deal with that talent at QB. We are learning several things, a few were mentioned. 1) Teams study and copy what the Chiefs do Offensively 2) Which also means that since the Defense practices against that, you help build your own gallows as an opposing team 3) Chiefs have learned patience. During the game as well as thru the Season. They won't let it all hang out every game because that will tip their hand. Notice that there's always a few Dynamite plays to right the ship, then it's just control the clock and get the stops. 4) The shell game of which player will get the touches in which game. Kelce is a target for good reason and is doubled most times. He was open last night several times. That gotta leave Defensive Co-ordinators and film gatherers scratching their heads. 5) Chiefs are missing some key people and have other weapons in the wings getting brought up to speed. Here's something else not yet seen on film. It's a progression that the other teams can't keep pace with or have yet to figure out. Andy has years and years of designing plays that have yet to be utilized. They can be beat, but usually beat themselves. Right now, it seems every team slated to play them brings their best. Divisional teams are on the Horizon. Gonna be interesting to see how these games go. The Donkeys and the Honkys each beat them once last Season. I don't see their situations as any better this Season.

The Chiefs do not blitz in the 1st Half. That is their half time adjustment.

[@s977382]

The Chiefs have leaders who know how to win with the assets they have

How many Super Bowl rings do the commentators have?

I think Mahomes and Reid have come to agreement to not be the greatest show turf. Reason being, score too fast impacts their defense where they won't have enough rest. They both realize they have a good defense

Florio floating out another KC coach retiring or leaving… KC does something so bad to his brain that he hopes putting something out there will make it happen. One of these years he will claim “told you he was going to retire”.

I guess the chief are trying to win week by week but not playing hard to keep and maintained healthy. For the kind of schedule the chief has they need to avoid any issues with health..

“Chiefs haven’t played an impressive game yet.” Isn’t winning the goal? “They could be 0 and 3.” But they aren’t. They are winning! Geez.

I mean it's just that Mahomes has been bad for his standards so far and they're still 3-0. Mahomes will obviously get back in form and Chiefs probably go like 14-3. Thats what's scary about the Chiefs, this is the worst they'll be. Get Pacheco back, get Hollywood back, Kelce and Mahomes back in form

Football 101 99% of the time: Take the points! What bit the Eagles last week by not kicking the FG early came back to bite us last night. No kicking the FG tells me that the coaches do not have confidence in this team. Week one the OC lost us the game. Now last night the HC cost us the game.

Lost pacheco but we need a bigger threat at RB.

They are not using Worthy right.

Worthy is a gadget player. Andy will use him accordingly.

@@martinwalker4320 His rookie season he had 61 catches for 600 yards. He averaged 79 catches a year for the 6 seasons he was with the Chiefs. And actually, I am not sure what your point is. Worthy will never be a WR1 with the Chiefs. He is just not that type of a receiver. But Andy will work him in to a role he is built for to help the offense.

Chiefs should have picked up Thielan…

The title is a reach. The Chiefs didn’t topple, they barely got by.
