Chiefs 2021

[jhawks99]

Lots of Bengals fans here. I think Mrs 99 and I will hit the sports bar to watch this one.

[NewtonHawk11]

When the Bengals are on, not many teams can beat them. They have had their stinkers too. But that trio of WR with Mixon and Burrow distributing the ball is a tough offense to stop.

[holidaysmore]

Bengals offensive line isn’t great. Pass rush is going to have to dominate. If not it could get interesting.
Bengals top 5 against the run but have had issues covering TEs. If 87 is healthy and a full go expect a big day.

[Cascadia]

I think a healthy KC team is significantly better than a healthy Cincinnati team. Unfortunately the last couple of years, you just can't expect to have a full team every week.

However, outside of covid, the Chiefs are relatively healthy right now.

But for Clyde, yeah.

That's true, but I'm not convinced CEH is a difference maker.

Derrick Gore has been pretty good when he gets snaps with CEH out, especially in the passing game.

Were I Clark Hunt, and had effectively limitless money, I'd have entire team hoteled for the duration at this point. Give every guy four rooms, six, whatever it takes.

[Wiff]

I am here to announce that I hope that the Chiefs win their next game.

[pdub]

We shoulda drafted Swift.
CEH is marginally better than Darrell.
Kind of a wasted first really.

Big time. And you really can't afford those when you're so top-heavy, cap-wise.

[pdub]

Swift has a gear CEH does not. Both have been injury prone but CEH benefits from lesser attention defensively. I think Swift would be more of a big play threat than CEH.

I wanted Trevon Diggs at that spot.

Imagine that or Michael Pittman, Tee Higgins or, yowza, Jonathan Taylor.

[Cascadia]

I'm not sure I'd call the pick a "waste". Injuries are tough to predict in the NFL. When healthy, he's been a good and versatile back.

That said, I'd never spend anything higher than a 3rd round pick on a RB with Mahomes as your QB unless you're getting a Henry/AP/Beast Mode type back.

[Sparko]

CEH, as said probably three or four times in this loooong thread, is too small to be a primary back inside. He was crushed on that last play yesterday. I believe the Chiefs do better without him. Might even have two more wins, though his catch on the 2-point conversion was huge last week. His role was always as a receiver but rarely explored.

[pdub]

I dont agree the Chiefs do better without him. He is still pretty good at maneuvering through the holes given. Hes a good pass catching back. Hes also decent and getting better at pass blocking. Hes a versatile dude. But we could have gotten better value at that pick.

[NewtonHawk11]

Clyde likely sitting for next week or two, but will be fresh for playoffs.

Nothing wrong with giving him the next two weeks (hopefully 3) off

[holidaysmore]

Last year he hurt his lower leg around this time didn't he? Against the Saints I thought it was. Nasty looking injury but made it back for I want to say the AFCCG?

Anyways, I believe the Chiefs trust D Williams more than they do CEH but with only Gore behind him they are kinda thin at RB especially since both of those guys place special teams. I could see McGuire getting called up or watch for McKinnon status since he is eligible to return from IR.

I wanted Winfield.

[pdub]

Chiefs a 4 point favorite on the road to Cincy - they have a solid collection of skill players too.
Burrow 6th in passing yards and 7th in passing TDs ( sorry Cascadia ).
He and Herbert were good gets for each franchise.
