It's time to quit being pussies about it...

[RaidersOftheCellar]

I'm still seeing and hearing a lot of reservation and conservative predictions, pissing and moaning about the defensive personnel/coaching staff, and typical Chief pessimism. It's time to retire your habits of being broken, whiny, pussy Chief fans and accept that an era of dominance is coming. There's no reason to shy away from it. The coaches and GM aren't. When even Understatement Andy is letting his c*ck hang out, you know that shit's about to get serious.

The game is the game and it's still a team game.

We need some draft bonanzas on the defensive side and a lot better run of luck on the injury front [short AND long term].

No. This is the mentality that needs to go.

Do you think New England fans worry about not having stars at every position?

We have Mahomes, Hunt, Hill, Kelce and Sammy. We don't need a dominant defense. Not even sure it needs to get better. But it will.

If I see evidence of us being COACHED like the Patriots, I will shout it from the rooftops.

This seems like an accurate comparison based on postseason history.

I've followed Superbowl teams up close and no, you don't need stars all over the field


You need cohesiveness and toughness on defense

No argument. But comparing the Chiefs to the Patriots at this point is ambitious at best.

What part of Andy Reid indicates toughness?

Top 10 defense + franchise QB = Super Bowl contention year in, year out.


The only true mathematical equation,


no other formulas legit,


no chance outside of those parameters.


OP needs to keep those vagina lips moistened and at the ready for about two more seasons.

Your statement here proves you are not a student of the game. Names are all you need to see which is why the "white board" or seeing it on paper is enough for you. Not for me and most die hard educated fans here either. At the most for us it represents hope for now. But further deeper hope and optimism resides in the following below for most of us here at CP.

The things I am looking for are not necessarily in this order but just need to be seriously addressed in the next 2yrs and primarily this year IF possible:

1. Stopping the run - better d-linemen so our LBs can make plays thus creating more stops so that our offense gets more chances/possessions to score pts. Mahomes will need these additional opportunities/defensive stops to make up for integrating himself and all his new toys to the NFL game.

2. Much better 2ndary play - Having Berry back helps but Fuller and Amerson need to integrate very quickly and successfully and I really don't see Amerson as a starter but rather depth so we need to pick up a high draft pick at CB that is an actual playmaking starter. We also need a serious "hammer" at safety that imposes fear which we do not have at this point.

3. Run blocking needs to graduate to "road grading" when needed. We have yet to demonstrate a "nastiness" on the o-line in crunch time. KHunt opened up waaaay to many holes for himself last year for my comfort level which is very hard on the body over time. Our pass blocking needs to improve even more this year not only to protect PM2 but the fact that we have a much more difficult schedule this year against stellar d-lines(a la Rams e.g)

4. TE position is lacking severely. Kelce needs help to take the pressure off of him so as to provide for better "bluff" as to who PM2 goes to in crunch time. What the Pats had in the Gronk/Hernandez combo for a brief period was idyllic IMHO. We need this type of TE combo(apart from the gangbangery of course) if we are to establish an offensive dynasty for the future IMHO.

This. I'm happy with the off-season events so far, and pretty confident in the O. Given Veach's performance to date, I optimistic about a D-heavy draft.

Who's being whiney and pessimistic?

Mahomes already bound for Canton.
