Gotta hope they find another generational skill player on offense or just become a straight up defensive juggernaut for the rest of Mahomes time there.

That’s if they are trying to mimic NE and have this thing go another 10 years. I would be a little worried about how Mahomes looks now though. He’s looked super regular the last three years
I'm not worried about Mahomes in the slightest outside of the deep ball inconsistency and red zone decision making which I think goes back to playcalling. His biggest problems have mostly been having a really shaky line the last couple of years. This year they started really cooking for that five game stretch until O-line injuries hit hard. I think they need new voices calling the plays. The Chiefs offense have usually had one of the better yards per drive in the league and EPA per play even with a shaky line and not many receiving threats.

Here's what I would do.

Re approach the Jets about Breece Hall
Find a replacement for Jawaan Taylor
Kindly ask Travis Kelce to retire and sign for Kyle Pitts.

Keep Chris Jones but draft the best pass rusher available in the draft.

Inquire about Kayvon Thibideau

Isaac Guerrendo of the 49ers is probably getting cut in the offseason. Take a flyer. He is a 6'0 215lb who runs a sub 4.3. is a converted WR.

Draft a RB day 3 and get some UDFA.

Replace O line coach

Beg Eric Bienemy to come back. Offer Mea culpa money.
Love these. Only one I disagree on is replacing the O line coach. The O-line has been solid as hell this year. Even tonight with 4 of their OL out they held up way better than expected. If they can find a solid replacement for Jawaan the rest of the line I'm happy with. Simmons has been great and Kingsley has been solid at LG in his first year being a full time starter.

Offensive talent is there. The big thing missing is that they need another CB and a legit pass rusher to go along with Jones and Karlaftis (who has been inconsistent). They're far too dependent on on blitzing to generate pressure. I think they need to restructure Jones as he has had flashes of dominance but can't do it on a game to game basis anymore. Find a way to restructure and lower his cap hit. Same with Kelce. If he comes back at half the pay cool otherwise time to move on.

Also while Kelce has had more fukk ups this year and isn't his old self it's crazy to act like he ain't still valuable. He's second in TE receiving yards behind McBride, still has made a bunch of clutch plays and just knows how to get open. He's not worth making what he's making now but still a damn good player.

Everybody but Reid and Spags needs to be gone. The defense is fine...just needs some juice on the pass rush. They held up their end for the most part.

Bring Beinemy back. Keep investing in the o line. Thats the most important thing for Pat and the running game. You dont necessarily need to go star hunting at WR...just focus on getting big bodies that can make contested catches. RB just needs quality young depth. A big bruising back that isnt :flabbynsick: would do wonders.


I know its doom and gloom but they really werent that far off. They kept losing in the margins this year. Thats coaching, luck, and frankly being tired. They looked tired, like they just couldnt shift into that top gear when needed. A long offseason, some well earned shame, and solid offseason moves and they should be fine.

It's really scheming. Everyone adjusts....EVENTUALLY.

They will figure you out enough...

Their games would be close then Mahomes would make an impossible magic throw

Or Tyreek would turn a 5 curl into a 50 yrd TD

Or Kelce just sitting wide the hell open

I think Mahomes has to get better.

watch Brady, Brees and Peyton get into their 30s and became pre-snap gurus.

Still too many times he isnt getting the ball out in a rhythm
