Actually ...
Based on what I've read here over the years, Rivers has never been wildly respected. At all. He was known as a choker, basically. I know there is a lot of media hoopla about his eventual ride to the HOF, but, by the same token, a lot of people think he's not necessarily a lock and that the bus might be full already. So that's that part. The pundits pick him and the Bolts to go to the SB every, single year (it seems like) and they collapse somewhere along the way without fail. Are we elevating Rivers to make our guy seem better? If so, that's entirely unnecessary. The other part is that our defense is, in fact, depleted. It got old and Dorsey did us no damn favors by allowing players to hang on too long or waiting far too long to sign good players. (Granted, some unforeseen injuries got in the way.) Apparently, Veach is building run-D first and hoping to hit on some pass rush. We're not there yet, so that's not opinion ... that's observation. The other, other part is that ... well, I forget the other, other part. But I'm certain that Mr. Eleazar probably got that part right, also. FAX |

It won't be super bowl caliber but could be good enough considering the front seven is vastly improved from what it was and getting Berry back and Sorensen back as the 3rd or 4th safety is solid where he belongs. They won't be awesome but should be a lot better than they are now. That's not counting what the pass rush could look like if KC gets more from Speaks or KPass as the season goes on. Then you throw in a dime backer hybrid guy like O'Daneil, and suddenly gives KC a much improved defense from last season.

There’s absolutely no reason to think with the addition of Berry that we can’t beat anybody with this offense. The whole thing about having a below average defense is it scares you about having to get in shootouts with great offenses. Well we just won two shootouts in the road against two of the best offenses in the league. What more proof do you need? Last edited by staylor26; 09-18-2018 at 10:18 PM.. |

In any case, clearly the 2017 team was one player away from beating the Steelers. |

Real generational QBs...Ben, Brady, Brees, Rodgers produce every season. From the limited amount of time watching Mahomes...he's essentially doing what he did in college just with better coaches/surrounding cast. |

His timing is impeccable even if defense thinks they figure him out they don't match his skills in timing and the ball gets out with authority to our guys to catch and make plays. We haven't seen nothing yet and i'm excited for the mad scientist plays after our bye week. Teams need to play zone and not get caught up watching our offense shift change and they can't go man on man with Tyreek. |

And those throws only happen IF our o-line continues to improve and stay the course. |

He looks like a special player to me. You can see it and feel it. I never bought the Watkins hype and felt he would come down to earth. Right now some just don't know what to make of Mahomes. He's looked to good to be true and he won't always kill every team but he's going to be really good. I'd put a pay check on it.
