Some of the comments about Collinsworth and Mahomes yesterday made me feel like this board is largely populated by 12-year-olds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqOptic Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 No. Their worst personality (Kelce) is still likeable and their fanbase is educated (for the most part) and not annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how It's a mix of things. Against man, he's just too talented. Against zone, the dude is just insanely football smart. Posts and crossing routes that a lot of guys will run all the way to the sideline, Kelce will run until he hits a hole in the zone and just stop. Same with stick or curl routes. He won't run his curl to where the defender is, even if the play calls for it, he'll shift to wherever the opening is. And he and Mahomes are so in sync that they feel those zones the same way. Most route runners aren't going to be given that much freedom, because it's asking for disaster. If they misread, you get INTs and incompletions. And we do sometimes too. Mahomes missed Kelce wide open on a deep cross to the left against Jacksonville. It wasn't a bad throw, it was Kelce and Mahomes reading the place for Kelce to stop differently. They're also really good at having him pretend to block just long enough for guys to look away from him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Kelce is able to play at this level and move they way he does at this age with his play style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Trying to answer this in a neutral way and not from the POV of someone who has always thought the Chiefs are the bad guys… the one real negative I can think of is that there’s definitely an arrogance within the team and the fanbase. Probably deservedly, in fairness, but it’s bad enough seeing them dominate the division/conference without having to hear all about it constantly as well. I can understand why they don’t have the same seemingly universal dislike that the Patriots did for the majority of the last 20 years, though. They haven’t been winning for as long, Reid is more likeable than Belichick, Mahomes is more likeable than Brady, and they play a fun style of football.

RuskieTitan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 No. The Patriots were 'villians' not just because of the success they achieved, but because of the rule breaking they employed to achieve that level of success. The NFL did it's job to sweep all damning evidence under the rug and destroy for they knew it would shake the foundations of the sport if the truth came to light. Until the Chiefs blatently cheat - and flaunt it - they won't be the 'bad guys'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art_Vandalay Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Yes, in the sense of they are always going to be the favorite to win it all and we just naturally want to see the overwhelming favorite get upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not nonsense good look at Bart Scott’s early season comments. I know Barts and idiot but acting like it wasn’t said is also dumb, many talking heads had them third in their division at the start of the year.

Is that the same Bart Scott who claimed Joe Burrow got the red dot from the ravens defense and was in jeopardy, only to see Joe throw for almost 600 yards in their next meeting? And Bart Scott isn't "everybody". So yes it is nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
