Chiefs 2021

[Deleted User 887]

Can't really take my bias out of this, but I've been to GB (never Lambeau), and KC is laughably better to visit than GB.

I would say that 90% of the time I would prefer to be in KC than GB but like all cities, a lot depends on what time of year you visit, what you choose to do, where you stay, who you hang with, etc.
All in all (or maybe I should say most in most) KC > GB.

Back to the Chiefs.
Gordon is great talent when healthy and not suspended. I have to assume he's going to help but here is my question. How exactly is he going to help and at what expense? It's not like Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce haven't been successful.
I guess having too many weapons is better than not having enough.
Selfishly, Gordon is probably going to hurt me - fantasy wise - so maybe that's why I'm a little salty regarding him.

If he doesn't fuck up and go hang out with Johnny Manziel again, you'd think he has to be better than Demarcus Robinson or Mecole Hardman.

I agree but 95% of NFL fans probably wouldn't have guessed 2 years ago that Darnell Mooney > Allen Robinson in 2021. Me being one of those 95%.
Strange things happen.

[pdub]

That's not true.
Your golden boy QB and your previous ginger mummy QB can't manage to get him the ball.

If (and that is a BIG if) he can stay on the field and at least be 60% of what he use to be he brings a different presence to the field both size and strength and 'respect' wise than Pringle, Hardman, and D-Rob can. My guess he would primarily play the X position and would get the targets going over the middle, slants on third and short and because of his size the 50/50 jump balls. Teams are shifting coverage with a safety over the top on Hill and trying to get hands on Kelce and bracketing underneath. When that takes place that means everyone else is man to man. I just haven't seen Pringle, Hardman or Robinson consistently winning those match ups. The thought would be you get your third corner, one on one against Gordon.
Who is the expense? At this rate probably D-Rob. He played the most snaps last week but wasn't targeted once.

[NewtonHawk11]

He's 6'3 225 pounds. He does well in all situations. His specialty is a slant and go concept. But you can also sometimes just throw a jump ball out there to him in 1-on-1 coverage outside the numbers and he will draw a flag or get the ball.

[Sparko]

Gordon is exactly what the Chiefs needed. THey have ample small slots, but Gordon is a beast one on one. He should remove at least one of the deep safeties for the crossing patterns.

[Overlander]

The TD pass to Hill in the Eagles game is a perfect example of what happens when a defense slides a safety up.

Linebackers covering Kelce AND Gordon?
Please?

[pdub]

Over/under catches for Josh Gordon Sunday night set to 2.5.

[Sparko]

I like Sunday night games when I am off the next day. The Ravens game was jarring and sleep depriving. Gordon should get the over pretty easy if he plays enough snaps.

[twocoach]

I keep forgetting that I don't have to work Monday. I hope that it's hard to sleep Sunday night because of how exciting the Chiefs win is!

[twocoach]

Chiefs got away with a false start.

[jhawks99]

Lots o penalties so far.

Let's see if we can play defense.

[twocoach]

Fingers crossed

[twocoach]

Need an early Mathieu INT

[twocoach]

Fingers crossed

Now watching through fingers. Ugh.

[jhawks99]

Ugh

[Sparko]

Reminds of the Duke game. Chris Jones out. Sorenson in. Pringle fumbling like a dumbass.

[pdub]

Pringle sucks.
Not as much as DeMarcus Robinson sucks.
But they both suck.

[jhawks99]

Where is Sammy when we need him?
