Trade for Watson and Tucker?

If Knox got what he got, Cook is worth 15/year for where he stands among backs. That was a great season. “I don’t pay running backs” sounds tough coming from armchair warriors.

Hurts was dialed in from the beginning, took exactly what was there, and put every throw on the money. He built that 34-0 lead with the perfect rainbow to Devonta Smith, which killed the Chiefs dead. Just would not let them lose. There's no way you give it to Sweat or DeJean when Hurts played that well.

It’s on at 12:30am so just whiskey and Schadenfreude.

I want the Chiefs to lose, due to bitterness. But on the other hand, if the Chiefs win, we will be the only team that beat them in a meaningful game this season. So I guess it's a win-win 🤣

If the Chiefs win, I think he retires. If the Eagles crush the Chiefs, he might retire too.

Eagles 49, Chiefs 3 That would feel good!

Would this help in the grieving process? Super Bowl: first half the Chiefs get some insane ref favoritism, but the Eagles are too strong and get up by multiple scores on Saquon's 150 rush yards, even though he has a long one called back by phantom holding. Reid seen screaming at Spags to stop blitzing while Saquon is carving them up. Second half, Mahomes presses and throws two INTs in second half--actually three but one is called back by the refs on phantom PI. Mahomes has to pass 25 times in the half, gets rocked multiple times. Mahomes seen screaming at Andy Reid. Eagles pull away and win by 20. Postgame, Kelce retires. The three-peat dream is gone forever.

I still keep thinking about if we'd gotten the first down call on the sequence with Kincaid's catch and Allen's push. We would have gained all the momentum and run away with it, I keep thinking. It's fading a bit, but I'm angry about it. We should have had them.

This is how I feel (except I don't have a Lambo):

8 months till the regular season starts! 🤪

And at WR, this has resulted in too much redundancy and not enough dominance. Shakir, Samuel, Coleman and Kincaid all operate best out of the slot, so they didn't have enough snaps, and meantime we had no number one X receiver who can beat press coverage. Either Amari wasn't able to be that, or wasn't given the chance. We need that explosive reciever badly. A starting lineup of Shakir/Samuel at slot, Coleman/Hollins at WR2, and an explosive player at WR1, stresses a defense much more than what we were doing with Shakir, Coleman and Hollins.

This really irritates me. The Chiefs play over aggressive are constantly stepping over the line and the refs let it go every year. Damn it.

Man, I don't know how many hours of work goes into these things, but I appreciate it. I hope we go for guys who are bigger and have more athletic potential, but maybe haven't fully realized it, like Spencer Brown. Chris Jones is an example too. Big and strong but didn't have many sacks in college. Chiefs got him in the 2nd round.

On the topic of this thread, I have two main feelings by now: 1) still angry and disappointed we didn't win that game. We were inches away, dammit. 2) looking forward to seeing us win the Super Bowl, which I believe will happen in the next 2-3 seasons.
