The full arsenal has not looked very sharp so far this year.

With an abbreviated camp, no preseason, and the hangover from winning the ****ing Super Bowl.

I can't believe the amount of pessimism here today.

With Pennel back Wharton better be active as well. Dude is a beast

Yep.

There's just no such thing as a must-win game this early in the season, especially when you have Mahomes.

They're going to be fine no matter what happens.

It's just the hand-wringing over the defense that kills me - this is the EXACT thing that happened before last year's game and we all saw how that turned out.

Seth is dumb. I love Wharton’s potential but his own teammate took him out.

Might see a DLine of Clark Wharton Pennel Jones quite a few times

You don’t think the offense looked sharp against Houston?

It certainly did.

All this pessimism based on the Chargers game is weird, IMO; San Diego specifically is designed to match up against KC’s offense.
