some notes on KC . after dress rehearsal

[long distance]

Most general observation from their last two p-s games is KC doesn't look like a sharp team at the moment or close to it . plus they have plenty of injury Q themselves..

Offense has pretty hard time moving the ball. The core remains run and play-action . but with lead RB Ware out now its going to be even tougher despite Hunt's solid showing. Hunt doesn't have the inside power of Ware but the main problem w Hunt is he still seems liability in pass protection despite one good play vs Bengals.

The bigger problem to me is that KC mistook Tyreek Hill for regular WR. He is a great situational weapon in unconventional play sets but to think of him as #1 WR could prove costly. He had three ugly drops on 4 targets yesterday and has 2 receptions for 20yds in two games. At the moment release of Maclin certainly seems premature.

Defensive line looked a bit livelier compared to anaemic 2nd game performance but still couldn't do much damage against somewhat troubling SEA OL. Also plenty of missed tackles across the D..

ST looked like best part of the team at the moment..

Alex Smith is a flaming pile of a flaming pile of garbage. How this guy was voted a top 100 player and pro bowler is among humanity's greatest mysteries. Supposedly he has a great arm but lives and dies for a four yard sideline out on 4th and 10. I would literally rather take a guy like Cutler with a 1/10 chance he plays a mistake free game. Alex Smith has the lowest ceiling of any supposedly legit starter in the league.

Alex Smith is a flaming pile of a flaming pile of garbage.

A pile within a pile, or on top of a pile? Or does this refer to multiple flaming piles? In any case, isn't burning garbage a good thing?

On top. A good thing? I don't know. Alex Smith threw the match five yards short of the pile.

Smith is in a tough spot. Almost every Chief wants Mahomes.

Have you seen what QBs start for other teams ? Smith won't win you any games but he also usually won't throw one of those boneheaded INTs that might cost you the game. I'd rather have him than Dalton or what we have seen from Winston so far because to me its more important to have a reliable and consistent QB. You can built a team and a playbook around that. But there is nothing you can do to fix stupid.

The Smith led Chiefs remind me of the 2001 Pats. Ultra-conservative/low risk offense on a team that leans on special teams & defense. Their problem....the NFL evolved into a passing league and the Chiefs are stuck in a bygone era.

The key difference there too is that young Tom Brady actually had balls.

 

[patsinthesnow]

We are going to rush 3/drop 8 & I honestly don't know if the Chiefs reach 10 points.

Not trying to be ****y but there are only a handful of teams that can score over 20 vs. us & only a handful of teams that can hold us under 30. The Seahawks & maybe the Giants are really the only teams that could do both. The Chiefs appear that they can do neither.

 

[QB12]

Why so much love for the Giants?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Chiefs expect Spencer Ware to miss the season with knee injury

 

[Wordsmyth]

Dang shame. That's Jules' exact injury. Both uncanny and sucky.

The KC pass rush is legit. The line better play well in the opener or this game will be close in the 4th quarter.

That's savage man!

Cutler and **** Assweiler are the two dumbest QB's ever. How they ever earned so much money is mind boggling.

Alex Smith and his short passing game sustained long drives against us in 2015 playoffs. I expect that to happen again. Will be a tough game. But if we can limit those long ball control drives. I think we can blow them out.

lol

reminds me of how people were "scared" of the Dolphins last year.. we will win by 2-3 scores..

Bingo. The throws are there...Alex Smith always takes the safe pass, to the detriment of actually winning. Low-risk is great unless the reward is still an inevitable failure to score points.

I think you severely underestimate tyreek hill and Kareem hunt

Remember. Garbage can.
