KC won without a defense last year. They ran out of offensive linemen, they have so many injuries there. Wait til they're healthy.
What the hell is happening in Indianapolis?

Yeah. The three games they played against teams that are not in the running for the 1st pick of the draft were all losses. It's obvious the defense is not capable of winning games on its own, and the offense struggles every week. If Allen and crew don't start putting up real numbers, this will be a 8-8 team at best.
I must continue to tell myself that I didn't expect a lot on the preseason so I shouldn't get too down. However, I would like to see some progress from Allen (whom I still support) by the end of the season. If he isn't playing solid starter quality football early next season, I'll do the chicken little thing.

I think a lot of it is on the OC and his playcalling.
I don't know if he's calling a conservative gameplan because he doesn't think Josh can handle more, or if he's by nature conservative, but he seems to want to dial it up and be a throwing offense. Our RBs attempted 14 rushes this week, only 8 from Devin Singletary, which is hilariously bad. I don't believe in being run first, I want us to be a pass-first offense, but that requires a QB who can diagnose pre-snap, hit hot reads and timing routes, and get the ball out of his hands in sub-3s time.
Yeah I think KC problem is still the defense, and special team made few mistakes in critical moments, Mahome puts up like 400 yards 3 TD which after injury is quite impressive tho.
Anyone watching the Panthers game? Do you think that rough the pass call was very against the Panthers?
Tannehill was never that bad in Miami, especially considering he had to deal with Adam Gase.
Raiders are only .5 back from the Chiefs and currently hold the 6 seed. This season is weird.
Colts and Bills also losing puts them in better position for a wild card if they fail to topple the Chiefs at Arrowhead.
It's been a great week for the Raiders, except losing another starting safety for the season.

This will get overturned, but I am so glad that referees are letting plays develop rather than blowing them dead prematurely.

Huh, when I prepared for a loss today I assumed it'd be because Cousins choked. Instead it's the Vikings "elite" defense getting shredded in the air and being unable to get stops on third down against a team that was averaging 50% on third down.

Holy shit they didn't choke. They actually pulled it off.
Oh man, if the Bengals think Ryan Finley is the answer and don't draft a QB, what a joke.
Pete's face is a meme waiting to happen there.

I like watching this San Francisco team. Everything seems to come easily to them on both sides of the ball, they just somehow on offense so far just stall in random places.
Can't believe they've gone from the #2 pick in the draft to 8-0. I'm assuming that's more on a healthy Jimmy G and Matt Breida, than the addition of Bosa.

And then the Seahawks pick up two turnovers that lead directly to 14 points. Man.
