Eric Fisher injured Friday [but is ACTIVE for Oakland]

[Blick]

Yeah this sucks.

We need Fisher to fight through it and protect an already gimpy Mahomes. But then Fisher could easily aggravate that groin.

No one likes an aggravated groin.

The ankle injury may be a savior here. If Mahomes was fine, he would hold on to the ball and risk a bad injury with a blind side hit. Hopefully this game is called like the second half of the jags and he gets the ball out quick. He may die if Irving is starting at LT

I expect them to lean on Shady and Damien more than normal, with or without Fish.

That's my thinking, too. With guys dinged up or out at three key positions (QB, WR, LT) and a weak opponent coming up, I expect to see us do a lot of running and quick passes. It may not be the optimum strategy against the Raiders, but it should be enough to win.

Whole lotta Kelce and Shady.

In terms of strategy against the Raiders, it is and remains pressure on Carr.

Fluster that Emo bitch and nothing else matters.
Give him all day to pick the secondary apart, . . . same.

It'd be hilarious if "Gimpy Mahomes" was just 2015 Alex Smith and we started dominating TOP and nursing 7 and 10 point leads in the second half of games and laughing while the clock ticked down.

Not a bad strategy. Control the clock and help the KC defense.

I wouldn't want that in the long-term, but honestly it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for our offense to get that kind of game down. There are times when a 7-minute drive can completely put a game out of reach while a 30-second TD just puts our shitty defense back out there again.

Yep. Both of our losses to the Patriots and our loss to the Rams would have been wins if we didn't score so fast on our last drives.

We really should’ve just conceded the touchdown on the Patriots last drive of regulation in the AFC Title Game. Let them score right away and give Mahomes some time.

What’s more likely:

Our defense stops the Patriots offense from scoring a touchdown?

Or

Our offense scores a touchdown against the Patriots?

I’m putting the ball in Mahomes’s hands all day in that situation.

I watched Arizona State play this afternoon and got a good reminder about Herm and "circus offenses"

I think one of Herms own players slipped on Herms jizz when the score was 3 to zip in the 4th quarter.

Well, we beat the Rams regardless if Scandrick, or however you spell his name, makes the INT, that was right in his hands, in the 4th qtr. It was a for sure pick 6, but a game winner regardless if he just caught the damn thing.
