Success

There was definitely speculation they would, and it's possible - but I have read that speed was not their priority at that spot & not a good scheme fit.

It's actually insane - here & nationally. He had 2 big plays yesterday. The 1st TD was some of the best blocking I've seen in awhile, and reflective of how good Reid is. Most fast receivers get that TD. The 2nd TD was a completely blown coverage, and pretty much ANY WR would have gotten a TD on. He's incredibly fast - but we knew that before the draft. The internet went crazy last night blaming the Bills and Beane - as though we didn't expect the guy to make some plays in one of the best offenses, with one of the best QB's and best offensive minds in the game? But that's beside the point. In all likelihood, KC would have gotten Worthy by standing pat in that draft. Instead, we traded - and not only got Coleman, but Bishop as well. People keep saying that if Worthy outperforms Coleman, it will look terrible for the Bills....but what if Bishop turns into a top safety? It's almost like it's in the national psyche that KC always bests the Bills. That will probably turn out to be a good trade for both teams, but the hot take reaction was so over the top anti-Bills.

We're more like Manning's Colts to those Pats, though. Not the drought-era Bills. We're still the team that gives them the biggest challenge - and just like those Colts, one of these days we'll break through.

I don't know - he's also one of the most electric, fun-to-watch players in the league. Some other QB's would have been sacked 5-6 times tonight. I don't know if there are too many guys who can improvise like he can.

Eh - in truth, they probably gave us a 3rd rounder for free. That won't be the national narrative if Worthy really pans out, but it's probably the reality.

As a passer, Jackson isn't at the level of Mahomes & Allen. Not really close, even. But man, that guy is REALLY hard to bring down in the pocket, and when he spots a running lane, he's through it in a flash. So fun to watch.

KC has that thing where there is such a small margin of error when you play them. We've been like that at times over the years w/ Allen. I'm not sure if that's us this year.

Exactly this. I'm going to hate the Worthy talk - but it's not based on anything too "real." Great blocking on the 1 TD, and a blown coverage on the 2nd. He's fast - but we all knew that.

Probably better for us. I have a hunch we'll be competing more w/ Baltimore for seeding than KC.

KC gets Worthy regardless - but it's not how he does against Coleman. It's how he does against Coleman & Bishop.

What kind of take is this?

KC is going to be scary on offense when Brown gets back. They're pretty loaded now. Could be a long season of watching Taylor & hearing the praise. Hopefully our team looks solid on Sunday.

Beane really blew that coverage.

That call was comical.

I'm not THAT impressed w/ KC's D. The Ravens are missing a lot of plays out there.

Guess we can't complain too much - people always complain that Allen gets the same treatment (he kind of does)...

Man, that's a rough call.

I actually think Jackson is playing pretty well. That line is porous tonight - he's kind of making things happen on his own. He's one of the more fun players to watch, for sure.

Seeing a lot of criticism online for the Worthy trade. I'll keep saying it: they would have gotten Worthy if they had just stood pat. They gave us Cole Bishop for free.

Patrick Mahomes - league leader in INT's.

Well, we'll have a couple of days to practice formations now.

Ravens are hanging tough - but man, there is not a lot of margin for error against the Chiefs. That's a good team this year on both sides of the ball.

Gotta admit - the Chiefs are a little scary. They look a bit better than last year. EDIT: wrong thread.

We're not even a full quarter into the season.

Reid really is the difference-maker for that team. Even though that drive stalled - the variety of plays so far is impressive. Really creative.
