Fame he has, commercial recognition in the USA is surprising. ---

Finally able to get the touchdown. And 2 point conversion. Kc really killing their drives with penalties. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > They won like 14 games by one score or less-that absolutely cannot BE disputed. They wouldn’t be the first lucky team to make it here and get destroyed. Stupid, huh? 😡 Yes. Profoundly, ridiculously, incredibly stupid. They’re 40-11 in the last 3 years. They had the 4th best scoring defense in the league, and they WON 15 fucking games. ---

Mahomes was outgained the opposing QB 6.1 yards per catch to 5.9 (adjusted for sacks and INTs). Maybe you should go and read the stat lines before you start insulting me. ---

Kenny Picket in for QB. Who said pulling the QB was unthinkable? ---

Probably nothing. They need to integrate him into the offense more. ---

Respect for Worthy not celebrating that TD. He’s had a good game. ---

Zone coverage and throw it to Worthy. If only there was more time. ---

The score will end up being much nicer to Kansas City than their performance actually merited. ---

> [@Zoobi](#): > > You can’t pay a kicker that much. Butler’s contract isn’t much different than any other decent kicker in the league. > [@Zoobi](#): > > You can’t pay non productive WRs that much. You’re right - KC shouldn’t sign guys that are going to get hurt. > [@Zoobi](#): > > I think the Jones contract is a mistake in the long run. “Mistake” is an interesting word to use. Most long term contracts in all of professional sports are a shit deal for teams later in the contract. The Chiefs got 2 rings out of that contract - I don’t think anyone in the front office will regret the last year of that contract. You may be right - there might be some longer term value in trading Jones away before it’s over. But that’s rarely an off-season move, and there’s zero reason to think it should be a 2025 off-season move. ---

Same, Washington scored more against the Eagles than the Chiefs did. ---

Props to the Eagles, they clearly had the Chiefs number today. Turnovers were killers and the O-Line couldn’t block anybody. Really odd that Reid didn’t try putting Thuney back at guard and putting one of the backups at tackle. Probably wouldn’t have mattered. As a Chiefs fan since the 80s, I can live with a SB loss. One of these days I’ll have to watch an AFCCG without the Chiefs in it - that will hurt. ---
