It all really depends on how Elam, Bishop, and Edwards progress through the year. If they grow nicely, we can let Rasul go and have a solid DB room.

Good for him. But his problem was always consistency.

Agree that our depth is solid. We need an elite #1 next year.

Most major injuries were veterans. It's the Not For Long league. We had less veterans on the offensive side. Bernard is undersized unfortunately.

Some positive vibes before the game:

I think that Top 5 will look like that for the next few years, in that order. Hate to be that guy, but read Allen's write up. Even at #1, they need to lead the quote with giving somebody else credit (James Cook). They don't do that for anybody else until Herbert at #8. But you could just as easily have done that for any of the other QBs between Allen and Herbert. Just saying.

There is no secret sauce. 2024 begins the Chiefs gradual decline and the Bills gradual ascension. What people miss when they dismiss all these otherworldly Allen and McDermott stats is that they are DUE. Life is cycles and balance. When you’ve over performed and did not win, and somebody else has underperformed and won, the roles will soon be switched.

Shows how thin the line really is between the Bills and the Chiefs.

The McDermott crow is the hardest to take.

They’re people who don’t know how to win telling a winner how to win.

Pats will be the #2 in this division for many years. Drake Maye will be a good QB in this league. Dolphins and Jets will be rebuilding over the next few years. Our dominance will continue.

The Allen haters are quietly coming around, albeit with a lot of resistance. Now the McDermott haters! Those people will need at least two Super Bowls before admitting they were wrong.

I look forward to kicking their ass next Monday and putting an end to the Jacksonville talk.

If we go on a great run, Brady and Babich could be interviewed after this year.

There's a mental sickness in the people who don't want to give Allen the props he deserves. I've been following Twitter and I'm seeing people go from "He's a turnover machine!" to "He's the #2 QB in the league!" pretty quickly. They're just not emotionally ready to consider placing him above Mahomes in anyway. It's an emotional thing. "Allen has to beat Mahomes in the playoffs!" as if 13 seconds never happened, and everybody beats Mahomes in the regular season like Allen does, or like we weren't a centimeter away from throwing a TD to Shakir last year. None of it actually makes sense. It's a nuance subject at least, but people don't want to deal with that. From the true hater side, I've been seeing narratives like "Why does he need to do that? He'll get hurt" after the Cardinals hurdle. And now my favorite "There are no good QBs in the league anymore, I miss the 2000s!". It's like, if there is even a chance Allen is the best in the league, then it's because the league sucks and not that Allen is that good. And when he does something amazing, instead of saying "Holy sh*t that was unbelievable!" they'll say things to make it seem like it was weird or unnecessary. All of this is classic haterade done for millenniums on all the greats. When the guy you hate is doing really good, start looking under the couch for quarters. Anything to keep them from getting the props they deserve. But they're clearly on their heels now, and every week the haters get more and more creative. It's a sickness.

I've made the conscious decision to have faith in every player on this team. I realized that faith is a choice, and not dependent on outside circumstances. And furthermore, people respond to people having faith in them. "Losing confidence" in a psyche oriented position like Kicker isn't going to do my psyche any good, and definitely not his. And it's not like it's my call if we should get another one. So I just faith and confidence.

We took advantage of the other team’s errors. Just like the Pats always did.

I had a moment today. I had total faith in Allen to convert a 3rd down, and he did. This must be what Pats fans and Niners fans felt when Brady or Montana were in their prime.

Generational is right. I think this is the year the sports world realizes it. My prediction is most NFL stars have a down year in 2024 while Allen has an up year.

This is why people have gotten rich in the stock market for centuries. The public is prone to such absolute emotional swings, you can buy low and sell high. They simply never learn.

Because WGR attracts idiots. It says more about the hosts than the listeners in my opinion.

A Davis drop away from beating 31 teams.

The GOAT.

What bugs me is his lack of emotional control when things don’t go his way. Like a child.

Probably Worthy from that list. But I don’t think anybody of them will be great. I think Troy Franklin will end up being the best of the bunch.
