I think at $17.5 million a year, it is reasonable to expect Kelce to put forth a concerted effort and not be distracted. As has been stated, he is not the only problem, but he is part of it, and although it could just be correlation, the dropoff in performance aligns with the TayTay ridiculousness.

ridiculous is a grown man calling her TayTay
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: Chiefs 2024
At no point in this season has it ever appeared that Kelce was not putting forth a concerted effort or that he was distracted. He is on pace to have the same number of catches. The offensive line is just not holding up long enough for routes to develop so Kelce's yards per catch are a lot lower because they have to do more quick dumpoffs.JKLivin wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 7:52 pmI think at $17.5 million a year, it is reasonable to expect Kelce to put forth a concerted effort and not be distracted.

Put your corny politics aside and watch the games. With KC missing so many of their targets and the o-line not holding up, there are much less chances for YAC yards for Kelce because he is covered with much more scrutiny.
FYI, Hollywood Brown should be back before the playoffs and rumors are that Rashee Rice might actually make it back as well.
Re: Chiefs 2024
From 2016-2022 when Kelce had 7 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, he had 675 catches in 111 games, an average of 6.08 catches per game.
The last two years that you're whining about? 173 catches in 28 games, an average of 6.18 catches per game.
Kelce's catch percentages of 76.9% last season and 74.8% this season are the two HIGHEST of his NFL career. His yards per target stats of 8.1 yards per target last season and 6.4 yards per target this season are the LOWEST of his NFL career.
Taylor Swift has nothing to do with this. Mahomes just doesn't have enough time to allow Kelce to do what he normally does, which is find gaps in the defense.

He has had a few games with a shockingly small number of targets, especially after the first few weeks but if you decided on a narrative after Week 2 because you don't like Taylor Swift's politics then it makes sense.KUTradition wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 6:57 pmwait, you’re saying psycho doesn’t know what he’s talking about?twocoach wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 2:51 pm From 2016-2022 when Kelce had 7 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, he had 675 catches in 111 games, an average of 6.08 catches per game.

Re: Chiefs 2024
Kelce is adjusting to the reality of the offensive line. Getting Hollywood Brown back might help some. He is nearly as quick as Worthy but far more savvy and experienced. He would help keep some drives moving that otherwise stalled out and maybe get a few red zone TDs that have been FGs lately.
People may magically feel better about Kelce if the offense looks a little more formidable.
Their ceiling is higher than every other team's ceiling. Hopefully it's not too late to get in enough reps to be able to execute against elite playoff teams with more reps together as a unit.

Re: Chiefs 2024
It's actually pretty simple. When I watch football, I want to watch football. I don't want it interrupted every few minutes with:
"And Kelce makes the catch for a three yard gain, bringing up fourth and seven. As some of you may know, Travis is dating pop superstar Taylor Swift. Let's take a look and see what she's wearing today."
"The Chiefs win, taking their record to 12-1. As you can see Taylor Swift is very excited. I'm sure she and Travis Kelce will celebrate tonight."
I don't care if it is Taylor Swift or whoever Riley Gaines is. It has nothing to do with football. It's no different when they pan up and say "And here's Billy Bob Jim Bob and some other random idiots wearing cowboy hats. They're out promoting their new album, "Riding Horses and Drinking Beer," and will be performing at halftime." Who cares? There's a game going on down on the field.

Re: Chiefs 2024
You don't rant about any of the other wives, girlfriends, random celebrities, random facts that get shown in games in every single game. I am already fully aware that Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant, I don't need that to be mentioned every time he completes a pass, either. But I don't whine about it because it is as irrelevant to the game as the combined 8 seconds a game that Taylor Swift is mentioned or shown.JKLivin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2024 8:46 amIt's actually pretty simple.

If you to only watch a sport when that sport is on then football isn't your sport. No televised sport has LESS action per minute than football. It's 10 seconds of action and 2 minutes of filler, wash, rinse, repeat.
Re: Chiefs 2024
Swift is the one that comes to mind because we are talking about the Chiefs. I also don't need to see Mahomes' wife every few minutes or Purdy's or someone's mother. I don't care of Jason Kelce is at the game or not. Honestly, I've moved to watching highlights online while I'm on the treadmill. Most of what is watched at my house is two-year-old girl-directed at this point.twocoach wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2024 10:10 amYou don't rant about any of the other wives, girlfriends, random celebrities, random facts that get shown in games in every single game.
