LEBills

The Patriots were very bad at drafting receivers too. But you still need to try because aside from QB, WR and DE are the two most expensive positions. When you don’t try, you have to pay average or worse players like Samuel, Palmer and Moore almost $20 million this year. The Chiefs have Rice and Worthy under contract for 4 years each for just over $20 million total. Even if you just look at production in the playoffs. Rice averaged 65.5 yards/game in 2023, Worthy averaged 65 yards/game in 2024 (excluding superbowl since it was mostly garbage time), Shakir averaged 58 yards/game in 2024 which was his best year, Keon and Samuel combined to average 34 yards/game last playoff. There certainly several ways to build a winning roster in this league, but I still think the Chiefs WR strategy is smarter even if it hasn’t been a home run yet and hopefully never will be. Though I will give Beane and McDermott a lot of credit for getting a good OL coach, OL depth and an awesome running back.

Shakir and Coleman are good fits for this offense. Shakir is never going to be a dominating WR but he is good at the quick passes and YAC. Coleman is not consistent at creating initial separation but is good at scramble drill which helps hero mode Josh. Palmer is average as can be….I would not call it a good WR corp. Due to Josh, we may be able to make it work this year. Hope we draft a few players for him next year.

What? what? what? what?

say more good things!!

paying Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore nearly $20 million combined this year for basically nothing tonight….thats why you draft WRs early so you don’t have to overpay for scrubs. $20 million would have signed a good safety this offseason.

No money to even do that. This is our team this year. We will win a lot of games. Post season will be nerve racking/heart wrenching as always

Just do that offense the rest of the game lol

Harbaugh was a ST Coordinator before becoming HC. He knows how to spot good kickers and punters

Hopefully McDaniels is getting the same money that Steven Ross offered Brian Flores for losses

The Chiefs certainly are not done after week 1 but their are certainly a lot of things to be excited for as a Chiefs hater 1. The Chiefs now have to deal with two HOF coaches and Harbaugh who have had success at the NFL level. From 2020 to 2024, the Chiefs had lost 4 non-final week of the season divisional games. They already have one loss this year. 2. Though I believe the Chiefs have done an admirable job of at least trying to add receiving talent via the draft, none of them will seem to help these next few weeks. Worthy may be done for awhile, Rice is out another 5 weeks, Skyy Moore they traded before the season, Jalen Royals was a healthy scratch. The Chiefs could get away with a bad receiving corp for so many year because Kelce was their top receiver. Prime Kelce is gone though so they don’t have someone to bail them out on offense. 3. The defense that anchored the team the last 3 years did not look good vs the pass. They still looked good against the run. But for a team that has averaged less than 23 points on offense (also seen this last game) per game since 2023, that should be a big issue. Especially when they have the 11th hardest projected strength of schedule. Go Bills!

I hate Harrison Butker, but I’m also jealous the Chiefs have him

Go Chargers!

It’s not really new. They started on this a few years ago. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38058656/star-nfl-rbs-meet-zoom-talk-state-position

The ravens are more talented overall, but they were more talented than the Chiefs last year and lost week 1. Jackson and Harbaugh are 0-2 in week 1 road primetime games. The Bills have lost one home week 1 game with McDermott/Josh (non-primetime). Week 1 of the last year of Highmark and being a night game should give a nice edge for the Bills which is why they are favored by Vegas in the game.
