I think Watkins was missed. Both games he didn't play (Denver #1 & AZ) our offense looked to be a peg lower.

You can read what the Arizona sportswriters are saying here:

Couple of follow up things: Yeah, Fisher and Schwartz both had a poor day. Arizona's D-Line is the strongest part of their team. KC is playing with a bunch of backup guys in the center of the line, as was Arizona. Arizona was down to their fourth string guard. Both lines gave up five sacks, but KC had a bigger effect on Rosen than Arizona had on Mahomes.

Third quarter offense was lethargic. Arizona had a TD drive that took up seven minutes, so they had the ball for the lion's share of the third quarter.

I didn't know anything about the Mahomes family emergency till this morning. I'm sure that didn't help matters, but Mahomes handled the day well. Now he's going to have a greiving girlfriend on his hands. Hopefully he'll be able to handle that and get ready for the Rams this week too.

As far as Andy's game plan being "boring" or "bad," one simple question: Did he win the game? Another simple question: Was he ever behind in the game? Answers are yes and no. And I'll take a win any day of the week, no matter how it is rendered. Let's not turn into KU basketball fans and complain that "Our team didn't win by enough." Enjoy this current stretch of Chiefs football. It may be once in a lifetime.

It's just Meesh

Saying it twice is just redundant and makes zero sense

Yeah Watkins ability to be a second speed option to go along with Tyreek means that it’s easier for defenses to contain us more often than not. With Cooper Kupps injury as well I hope we can get Sammy back healthy to get a leg up on the Rams, pun intended.

Robinson and Conley had four catches for 52 yards filling in for Watkins. That's pretty good.

I detect that you are not a Watkins fan.

Truth is, he is more dependable than both Robinson and Conley. Conley struggles to seperate in man, and Robinson isn’t a great pass catcher.

Watkins’ hands and ability to seperate on short to intermediate routes allows the quick game to go. Mahomes took far too many hits yesterday, and compared to the Cleveland game, he was holding on to the ball too long as Kelce and Hill were getting extra attention (fortunately after exposing Tre Boston a couple times - so glad we never signed that fraud...).

Chiefs fans might not like Watkins’ price tag, but he opens up so much for this offense.

Very cool. We took a tour with the Scouts a couple of years ago and it was very cool to take the time to savour the things you usually hurry by on gameday.

Big part of this is Andy too.

Every time we get a lead we sit on it in the 2nd half and it isn’t QB specific. Did with Alex...did it with Mahomes.

This has happened the last 2 home games.

Not true. I'm down with Sammy. Problem is, Sammy is down too. I think our wide receiver corps is amazingly deep. Maybe the best it's been since the Super Bowl IV team.

I’ve noticed this and I don’t really get it. He keeps the starters in but then plays vanilla and risks injuries to key players. I’d like to see us 2 or 3 scores out front and then get some back ups in for the fourth quarter.

Here's a picture I took at the game. This is the CBS sideline chick in the black jacket comparing notes with Danni Welniack the Chiefs sideline chick. The CBS chick looked like a diva. Danni looks more like a midwestern chick. She was wearing tight blue jeans and some rockin little snow bunny boots. Daddy likey. The dude in the black stocking cap was the CBS chicks personal "lighting guy." He followed here around with a portable fill light to shine on the CBS chick every time she went on camera. Geez.... And she had on black fingernail polish. Is she a Goth??
