There's a part of me that feels like they're one step away from being last year's Eagles, and another part of me that *expects* them to stroll through the AFC to another Super Bowl.
They may be 11-1, congratulations. But if they are being real with themselves, they have to realize that any team that gets outplayed by the Raiders this year has some serious issues to overcome if they hope to win a SuperBowl.
Counterpoint: the Bears are so bad that they fired their coach mid-season for the first time in 109+ years, and yet the Vikings, Packers, and Lions all barely beat them. Division games are wonky.
They should have like 5 losses but teams are soooooo scared of the mystical Boogeyman Mahomes that that do dumb shit and give the Chiefs wins. He’s just a man and he can be beaten
2020 Steelers. The worst 11-0 team of all time. 11-1 after their first loss in Week 13 against Washington. Finished the season 1-3 and got punked in the WC round against Cleveland.
Respectfully- you like every other football fan- overestimate the “evers”- pro football was around before social media, ESPN and Super Bowls- you have good points but- just a little perspective
Facts! I will say, you can tell every time that plays us, plays to their best ability, and then slack their next game. Chiefs just trying to make it out games healthy.
But playing week after week with an offensive line from random grabs in the parking lot? Eventually Karma will strike and we'll grab tailgaters from the other team to slap uniforms on. 🔥
Chiefs are the hyped up team in high school that you didn’t think you could compete with so they don’t try. Start sacking Mahomes rather than part the sea.
He was sacked a bunch tonight. And hurried. And hit. When you have a weapon like Mahommes, other teams play scared, they play tight, and they make mistakes.
The Chiefs and Raiders were playing bogey football. The Raiders shot a double bogey on the last hole. Only difference there are pictures on the scorecard.
Haha probably a little bit of both. Mahomes is definitely worthy of being considered in the top 10. Maybe even top 5. But he is definitely not the GOAT. He’s young and has the potential to be one day though.
No doubting the great coaching and clutch play of Mahomes, but they’ve also benefited from some generous officiating this year and going back to the egregious holding in the 4th quarter and OT of the Super Bowl…
Until someone beats the Chiefs in the playoffs they are the favorite. They could be 6-6 right now and it still stands. When you have an all world QB, TE, and championship level defense you win in December and January.
True but maybe the point is they don’t have any of those 3 right now. Will forever be the retort though of just wait til the playoffs, (which is also true as a defending champ).
Right, just a well oiled machine at this point with a he best coaching football. No longer winning on the backs of Mahomes or Kelce domination and the defense has been just as enough above average. Can that hold up or do they turn it on come January? Might not matter.
Top 3 frauds in the last decade. Steelers w/Ben about 5 years ago and the Eagles a few years back. Chiefs will get exposed like they did in the playoffs.

Both would be great entertainment
December 2023.
We know how that ended. @getnickwright.bsky.social knows what's up: other teams' games are the Chiefs' practices
Like, how many receivers, running backs, kickers, left guards have they gone through this year?
Getting 3 healthy bodies there would change the entire team
The Chiefs would easily be Penn State
Can't even blame the refs this time, they wore themselves out early!
At least when it's the Chiefs anyway
