Vandy is getting beat like a drum. Wish we had a better option over there. Really missing Brown today.

Arm was hit....caught a break.....

Olave had Benford beat, but we caught a break.

I can live with the shot. Keep taking them. But I would prefer it on earlier downs and not on 3rd and long when everyone knows you have to do it. That series was lost on first down with that predictable pitch to Cook. That's where the shot needs to happen. Anyway, time for the defense to make a play to help the offense for a change.

This defense absolutely blows

Offense has showed up to this point. The defense was a no-show on the first drive. The Saints had gone 9 games without scoring a TD on their first drive and we made them look like our offense on the first drive. Just terrible coaching and execution on that side of the ball. Gotta be better and I am just not sure if they can right now.

Very disappointed not to see Jackson get a jersey today. Not because I think he is going to be great or anything right away, but I think it is important for guys like this to get some live reps to see what the NFL is all about. They can try the things they are comfortable with, see how they work against real competition and then make adjustments during practice. So, if he can't get a jersey in a game we should be resting starters in in the 4th quarter, I am not sure when he is going to get one barring a couple of injuries. Just thought it was the right spot to see him today. It's unfortunate. Max is out. Sanders has had a rollercoaster of a start to say the least. And Jackson has yet to see the field even though he's healthy. We went into this draft to get players to help us on defense close out games and to play better overall on defense and really not one of our defensive picks is making an impact. Walker has flashed in the pass game, but he's been pretty bad overall against the run. I do think he is talented enough to figure it out, but until he gets his eyes in the right place on run plays more consistently, he still has a long way to go. But yeah, in a draft that was supposed to be filled with defensive difference makers, the best player to come out of it so far is Hawes.....a 5th round blocking TE. Not what we were all hoping for to say the least. It's a long season, though. Hopefully these guys can figure it out at some point and make a difference come January.

As of now, no....I don't think KC loses at home to either of those teams. Call me crazy, but I am not sold on DJ all of a sudden becoming the second coming of Josh Allen. I need to see a little more from them before I take them seriously. Washington is really inconsistent as well. Could they lose to these teams? Of course, any given Sunday, right? But I don't see it as of now especially when the get their WR room back at full strength. The Ravens just blew out the Browns. They always beat Pittsburgh it seems although they could be tougher games if the Steelers get their defense right. And the Bengals don't have a QB and may not for either of these games. I am sure the Ravens will lose a couple of games, but after the Chiefs game, I can't find 5 losses. You could maybe get me to 4 more, but I don't see them losing 5 more times with the talent on their roster.

First off, I am not rooting for either of these teams to win. The teams and their fans are both toxic. That said, a loss for either of them is a great thing. So, what is the right way to look at it given this? The first thing I think about is if one of these teams loses and gets their 3rd loss in 4 weeks, is it possible to find 5 more losses on either of their schedule so they can potentially miss the Playoffs all together? REMAINING CHIEFS SCHEDULE: Week 5 10/6 at Jacksonville Jaguars * Week 6 10/12 vs Detroit Lions Week 7 10/19 vs Las Vegas Raiders Week 8 10/27 vs Washington Commanders * Week 9 11/2 at Buffalo Bills Week 10 BYE WEEK * Week 11 11/16 at Denver Broncos Week 12 11/23 vs Indianapolis Colts Week 13 11/27 at Dallas Cowboys Week 14 12/7 vs Houston Texans * Week 15 12/14 vs Los Angeles Chargers Week 16 12/21 at Tennessee Titans Week 17 12/25 vs Denver Broncos Week 18 TBD at Las Vegas Raiders REMAINING RAVEN'S SCHEDULE: Week 5 Sun, Oct 5 vs Houston * Week 6 Sun, Oct 12 vs Los Angeles Week 7 BYE WEEK Week 8 Sun, Oct 26 vs Chicago Week 9 Thu, Oct 30 @ Miami Week 10 Sun, Nov 9 @ Minnesota Week 11 Sun, Nov 16 @ Cleveland Week 12 Sun, Nov 23 vs New York Week 13 Thu, Nov 27 vs Cincinnati Week 14 Sun, Dec 7 vs Pittsburgh Week 15 Sun, Dec 14 @ Cincinnati Week 16 Sun, Dec 21 vs New England * Week 17 TBD - Flex Game @ Green Bay Week 18 TBD - Flex Game @ Pittsburgh The * shows the games I think each team has a realistic chance to lose. Now, of course neither team is probably going to lose all of them. But on the surface, it looks like finding the Chiefs 5 more losses after this week is a lot more feasible than finding the Ravens 5 more losses. In fact, I will find it had to believe the Ravens will lose more than 3 times after this week at most. So, what do we want? Do we want the Chiefs to lose and perhaps have a chance of them missing the playoffs entirely or do we want the Ravens to lose and give us a bit more comfort and breathing room for a possible 1 seed run where their schedule gets dramatically easier as the season goes along? It's kind of a tough choice. I'd love to have a chance to bury the Chiefs and have them potentially not even make the Playoffs, but the Ravens schedule is a cake walk for the majority of it. Sure, we have the tie breaker, but man, they could pile up some serious wins after the next couple weeks and make this uncomfortable down the stretch if we slip up.

Still a ways out from this game, but the random thought I just had was that if I had to guess, Landon Jackson gets a jersey Sunday. Perceived easier opponent and McDermott saying that he was close to getting one last week has me thinking they will take this opportunity to see where he's at in his development. Add in the fact that Bosa can't play nearly the snaps he did last week, I think it might be a good time to see what he has at this point. I'm not expecting much from him this year, especially early, but any reps are good reps at this point so he can learn on the job a bit. I have more hope seeing improvement from him next season than this year, but I guess you never know. He strikes me a guy that will always give max effort and will work on his game, but he's very raw. But, that said, I do want him to get a handful of reps sometime soon.

Just a wild slate of early games....

The way things are going today, I wouldn't rule out another block.....

Man....that looks like a catch to me!

The blocked kicks today are unlike anything I have ever seen before. Just insane how many there have been. It seems like you very rarely see them but yet today alone what has there been? 5? Seems like a ton.

Packers should have just let that WR go or hold him up or something. The clock would have run out.

Man, for as much promise that Maye shows most of the time, he still does some pretty dumb things too.....

Man.....some of these defenses that are playing right now are just unreal. Aggressive, physical, fast...... So fun to watch.

Add Kincaid in there and the list pretty much ends there.

The defense was terrible for most of the night. I will have to watch the tape, but for the most part, I thought the DTs were kind of rough. Deone Walker had a couple of flash plays, but I thought the position as a whole got washed out too many times tonight. And I think that is why this game was so close. The best way to beat Tua is pressure up the middle. We got pressure on their last drive and he threw it right to Bernard. But too many times, we didn't get the pass rush we should have against their banged up offensive line. We miss Ed for sure. Hopefully he is healthy and ready to go sooner than later. And one more thing.....where in the heck is Groot? I mean, they paid extra attention to Bosa all night and I don't think I heard Groot's name once. That's not good against a banged up line.

BOOM..... We escaped. Thank God. Enjoy the mini-bye here, get some guys healthy, come back and destroy the Saints. These WRs need to figure out how to get open.

He didn't play tonight, but man.....I think Oliver would have feasted on the interior of their line. Oh well........big kick for Prater here.

Can't play that far off in that situation.

SEND SOME PRESSURE THIS TIME

Special Teams have been awful tonight....

Now it's on the defense to get a stop. They really haven't all night.
