What's wrong with the Chiefs?

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

The league has caught up to Mahomes.

Brady broke another franchise that thought they were the next dynasty. That is all

Good article on the problems in KC. This portion from the article is mind boggling:

"Their biggest weakness is evident right now, with the defense off to a horrific start. It’s more than just bad. Frankly, it’s historic. Through five weeks, the defense is surrendering 7.1 yards per play, which is the highest-ever number allowed by an NFL team, according to Pro Football Reference.

But wait, it gets better. The best offense of the past 20 years is undoubtedly the 2007 New England Patriots, who averaged 3.3 points per drive — the exact same amount of points per drive the Chiefs’ defense is allowing through five weeks. Simply put, this years’ defense is turning opposing offenses into the greatest offense our generation has ever seen every week."

LMAO

The Kansas City Chiefs’ dream of a dynasty is quickly falling apart. On Sunday night in Arrowhead, the defending AFC Champions were embarrassed by the

Couldn't have happened to a better team

Chiefs Planet is a great read right now.

It's like drinking the nectar of the Gods

Mahomes is having trouble with his first read as checking to do what stupid thing his brother is doing on the sidelines.

Tennessee offense was 3rd and 5 today.

Frank Ckark jumps offside. First down and the Titans drive scored 7.

 

[Nehalem]

Apparently, they took the tourch when Brady passed it to them and passed it back.

They took the torch and lit themselves on fire

Is the Super Bowl loser curse real ? They really look like a different team from last year.

That being said, a lot of things can change fast in the NFL. But they really can’t afford to lose 2 more games this year, meaning they have to go 9-1 the last 10. Can they do it ? They certainly have the talent. But it really doesn’t look good for them. May take them several seasons to fix that defense, and the offense looks lost right now. Pretty shocking really. I always say, you just have to make the playoffs and anything can happen. But man that defense, oof.

Can’t wait to see Nick Wright tomorrow, gonna be incredibly enjoyable.

Yeah, Mahomes is a bargain alright - I think Christmas Tree Shops jingle every time I think of that contract.

Patrick Mahomes' contract with Chiefs still looks like a bargain a year later

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes signed his 10-year contract extension a year ago today and it still feels like a bargain for Kansas City.

Teams have learned how to stop Hill. Kelce has regressed so much this year. This team is done. They spent half a billion on Mahomes. Now they ain’t got no money for the rest of the team. That defense is pretty bad.

 

[VectorPrime]

Mahomes is still an elite QB but it’s just so immensely satisfying for everyone to come to the stark realization that he isn’t actually playing the game on some higher dimensional plane.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

This is remarkable…Mahomes is actually playing less risky than the past two years but had extreme luck the last two years with dropped interceptions. I know PFF has been pointing this out previously, and there were some videos with all the dropped balls on easy INTs.

If he had a brain he'd have avoided Brittany's "baby chute" altogether. That chick is NUTS.

Rodgers-esque

Chiefs fans must feel better now that RGIII says it’s just a bump in the road.

 

[Guts]

He’s got 18 TDs and 9 INTS. I don’t think that’s similar. I think Jameis led the league in INTs his last year in Tampa, yet led the league in yards passed and was top 5 TD passes, but still threw more INTs than TD passes that year I believe. The 9 INTs is shocking for Mahomes, but still a 2-1 TD to INT ratio.

Oh no Mahomes is still elite don't get the wrong. I'm just stating he's turning the ball over the rate that Winston was. Not just INT but fumbles as well. I don't know why they keep trying to press the ball down the field. Defenses are literally dating them to run or throw short

The 3-4 Chiefs are tied with the Houston Texans for points allowed - 29.0 ppg - after seven weeks. Both are grateful to Brian Flores and the Dolphins for being worst in the NFL with 207 or 29.6 ppg allowed. (Compare that to the 3-4 Patriots at 20.00 ppg allowed.)

@venecol posted two weeks ago some great stats about how historically bad the Chiefs' defense was, and continues to be.

One look at their salary cap - Kansas City Chiefs 2021 Salary Cap - and you see $11.7 million in dead cap money, some ridiculous salaries at the top and a huge percentage of players earning less than $2M who they rely on as starters as situational players.

And it gets worse..., much worse. Patrick Mahomes is only counting for $7.4M against their cap in 2021. Well, kids, that cap hit jumps to $35M in 2022, and $46M in 2023! Can you imagine that?!? One player - $46M?!?

To put that in perspective, Brady was looking for $25M/year for two years fully guaranteed when he left for Tampa Bay. The Patriots said no, took a one-year hit and re-built in one year. The Patriots upside is enormous. The Chiefs?

Anybody remember the NY Giants after they made Eli Manning the top paid player in the league? The result was six different head coaches in seven years and a constant state of rebuilding.

we took one year hit? I presume you mean that for 2020?
how come that again in 2021 pats have almost 3x bigger dead cap than chiefs?
