[@CruzTucker]

I think they'll do fine. Everyone went through this exact phase when they didn't have Tyreek and look how that went. Plus they have a young talented receiving core in Skyy Moore, Kadaruis Toney, MVS, and Justin Ross. And they have a good RB in Isaiah Pacheco. Not to mention they have one of the greatest QBs in history with Patrick Mahomes and one of the greatest coaches of all time in Andy Reid. They'll be just fine. Yes TK is a big part of their offense, but I still think they can manage.

[@vincentgorecki]

Brady didn't have Gronk until his 11th season in the NFL. He also won three super bowls pre-Gronk.

[@jasonshaw4230]

He also had a top defense and a running game .

[@coryvallad7578]

ya and he still was able to be beat so whats your point lol

[@nopeteys2424]

Literally nobody was talking about Brady and yet people find a way to bring him up in every football conversation. The dudes retired let it go already

[@vincentgorecki]

@@nopeteys2424 Did you watch the video? They compare Mahomes to Brady and how Brady always had Gronk around, which is just incorrect.

[@vincentgorecki]

That was my point, one of the analysts mentions that Brady always had Gronk, which isn't true. He was winning well before Gronk.

This is wrong. If Mahomes sat in the Super Bowl and the Lions win, is that a sour taste? No. Win is a win. Road primetime win is fantastic, idc if Steven Hawking is the opposing QB.

[@-KPG-]

youre a clown, it isnt because of kelce. kelce doesnt play defense. if the lions win on offense its due to chiefs having multiple starters on DEFENSE out for the game. maybe you heard of him, idk. but CHRIS JONES is one of the biggest reasons lions offense has any success due to him being out.

[@LL-wz7je]

One thing I will caution you Lions fans with is it does make the Chiefs chances of winning more difficult with Jones and Kelce out and Snead playing on bad knee. But #15 will suit up and play and Big Red will be calling plays. Don’t be surprised if that coach QB combo pulls out your heart and stomps it to pieces.

Imagine if the Lions pull off the ultimate upset it will be without two of the Chiefs best players out. There will be doubt the Lions could actually beat the real Chiefs.
