2024 NFL Season Thread

[FireGilbert]

Are the Chiefs one of the least inspiring 4-0 teams ever? Average win margin of 5 points.

Compare to the Vikings with an average win margin of 14 that would have been higher if they didn't fall asleep in the 4th today.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If there's anything we know about the NFL is that you'd rather be peaking in January than September. Vikings have been the most impressive team in the league so far while the Chiefs have been very underwhelming, especially on offense. But the Chiefs have pedigree and part of you wonders if they aren't just coasting cause they know they can dial it up when it matters. Losing Rice is big though, even with all the scrubs they had last year they still had Rice as a reliable #2 to Kelce. Without him now that WR room is grim, Worthy can be a big play guy but he probably can't replace Rice's production in the middle of the field.

I think the Chiefs being 4-0 is actually more terrifying considering Mahomes has been mediocre and the offense hasn't looked great.

This screams a Chiefs offense that will have Rice, Kelce, Brown, and Worthy in offense all together for the first time at the end of the season and will be tough to game plan against them in the playoffs because you have no film of them from the season.

And that defense looks elite again, which really is the scariest thing.

Except Brown and Rice are most likely both gone for the year.

i didnt see any of the Chiefs game against the Chargers but just curious if it was a "clean" win or were there the standard pro Chief reffing involved? Also as a Chargers fan, can they please get rid of overrated Bosa, guy is always injured and is overrated in the few games he actually plays.

[Erick Estrada]

It's a given the Chiefs are going to get favorable officiating as long as it's the Reid and Mahomes show but I don't think there's much to worry about with their start as they will cruise to a Division title and home playoff game and save their good stuff for the playoffs. They will likely make a key trade for a WR prior to the trade deadline but otherwise I don't think there's any reason to panic especially in week four of the season. They are more of a defensive team now anyway as Reid and Mahomes know how to score when it matters.

Teams show up against the Chiefs knowing that they're the two time defending champs.

I watched many teams that looked good thru week 6, and barely made the playoffs in the end. You can't win the Superbowl in week 4.

The Rice injury is bad, and they won't be able to replace him. So it's a matter of JuJu, Watson, Hardman being able to catch balls better than the group from last year. Maybe they add a guy with high pedigree who's not working out elsewhere. Eventually they will get Pacheco back and hopefully Omenihu who is their second best defensive lineman by the last quarter to help out.

I get that they have the Patriots level of hate and why everyone thinks the refs get access to Gracie Hunts only fans account and slant games in their favor in trade....But in reality, other teams choke and screw up at key times. They make bad decisions or miss executing plays they should, or let the ghost of Mahomes spook them into making poor coaching decisions. Things that many Chiefs teams did for the first 30 plus years I watched them.

Why am I just finding out about Gracie Hunt now.

Davante Adams is very likely to be traded closer to the dead line.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He is injured, saying could be multiple games.

[puffnstuff]

Seahawks list basically every good dlinemen and linebacker as inactive tonight. Mafe, Nwuso, Williams, Baker and Murphy all inactive.
Bet on the Lions. And probably the over.

[KelVarnsen]

Titans uniform and helmet combo is a mess. Dark blue helmet, white jersey with bright blue pants. The white helmet they used to have was much better.

[KelVarnsen]

Putting mayo in his coffee is a better choice than some of throws Levis makes

[Senator Clay Davis]

With the Red Rocket at the helm the Panthers look competent enough, so the Titans looking like they'll have an unopposed run to the #1 pick.

[MRCboicgy]

Great effort after dropping the pass, Cheetah

[trackercowe]

This is going to be a loooooong game. 4th and half a yard and the Titans punt it... Losers.

Good thing we only have to suffer through this for 20 more minutes.

Looks like it might be Rudolph time!

[Senator Clay Davis]

The only reason to watch this game is the comedic potential. Just can't take a chance that we'll miss the Levis masterpiece.

[KelVarnsen]

Oh boy. Mason Rudolph.
