Agree. And without or top two lineman we lost by one possession

I personally like our chances of upsetting the Chiefs. A single play in the last two games cost us those two wins. First, a injury to our most important lineman on the third play of the game totally wrecked our game planning, and then a boneheaded attempt to field a punt on the very first touch of the next game gave the opponent half the "offense" they needed to squeak one out.

Mahomes has not been playing up to his normal level and the team has lost the best weapon at both WR and RB. Teams are basically taking Travis TayTay out of the game with double teams.

Let's just see who we get back with the extra day of preparation.

Carr isn't as bad as many fans think but imagine if the Saints had a great QB. Olave would be all world according to this list.

He might still be all world if Carr had time for the play to develop.

As much as I feel like our preparation and performance should matter, it does seem like the Chiefs hold the cards especially at home and will dictate how this game will go. If they want to play with their food and keep it close they will. If they go back to their 2023 "bored" midseason phase, we could win it convincingly. If they come out angry and feisty like Taylor Swift on a breakup rebound we've got an uphill battle.

Shake it off, neuguy.

It’s only week 5 and I’m hoping for the Falcons to win tonight.

This is the result when we don’t take care of our own business.
