Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

For some reason Mahomes is not the Mahomes we know so far this season. I benched him on fantasy last week for Mayfield and that’s not something I’d thought I’d do considering what Mahomes being on the field has meant.

KC is, has always been, a second half team. We will need to get out in front of this game and not go into prevent defense in the 4th quarter or he may just make me regret benching him.

So far this season he’s been playing like he is distracted. I hope he doesn’t find his focus tomorrow night.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Even if the Saints lose, not that of a biggie. We already have 2 NFC losses on the books. It's not the end of the world losing to the Chiefs.

Players gotta start getting healthy.

Defeating the Bucs at home becomes paramount.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

What we did (as predicted) by abusing our beloved Taysom Hill so early in the season, would be inexcusable for any team except us.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Was hoping to see Kendre Miller tonight however he's been downgraded to "questionable".

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Good grief, will we ever see this kid play?

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Kendre who?

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Now Kendre Miller and Pete Werner are out. We're about to hear someone make a tackle tonight and we'll ask who that dude is.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Saints 19
KC 17

Don't ask me how because it shouldn't happen.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Not a player on our roster that shouldn't be known to us all by now.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Similar thoughts I had on Nick Saldiveri.

All he's done is slide down the depth chart.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

I'm right with you on this one. Somehow, the improbable happens.
Our boys have a good game from start to finish with no bonehead errors.
Contain Mahomes and hit him often.
Somehow get AK41 free in space as a receiver.
Slow down Chris Jones.
Get at least 5 passes to the TE's.

Stranger things have happened. I mean DAMN! I'm looking at perennial non-starter, Sam Darnold QB for an undefeated Vikings squad team, so I like our chances to steal one!

:smokin:

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

27 Chiefs
17 Saints

Matchups are already tough when you are at full strength, but this team is at a huge disadvantage with so many injuries.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Since 2022, the Saints under head coach Dennis Allen have the NFL’s worst record in prime-time games with a 1-5 record. (Per NFL News). Chiefs 43-23. Kelce has 2 to 3 TD's 100+ yds receiving. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

I don’t want to click “like” on your comment, but you’re probably right.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

I look at it this way. The most points the Chiefs have managed to score in the first four games is 27 and that was with Pacheco and Rashee Rice, both of whom are now on IR. The most we have given up is 26 and the other three games our opponents were held under 20. I just don't see the Chiefs putting up 43, or for that matter anywhere even close to that.

As for Kelce, the book is out on him, especially with no Rice. Double him and Mahomes basically ignores him.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Our TE's won't get much action since they'll be helping to contain KC's pass rush.
Maybe a catch or two from each, but I ain't holding my breath.

Kamara, Rasheed and Olave must have huge games for the win.

Once again, our O-line will be the difference between a win and a loss.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

And our parhetic excuse for a HEAD COACH, and our uncertain varable for a QB, will be a BIG difference between a win and a loss.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

Looks like Perry's coming back to the practice squad.

I’d be less concerned with Travis Kelce’s haircut, and more concerned with the fleecing of Derek Carr’s hairy a$$ tonight, if I were you.

Re: Week 5: Saints @ Chiefs
 

I do like our color/uniform selection for tonight

They’re about to beat the pants off of us, so…
