    Why, because they don’t have tyreek? WR is the only position group you can look at KC and think “chumps”

    Everywhere else they are still a top tier team. Their defense is strong as hell and they still have Majomes. Sure they aren’t literal lock-in favorites to win the super bowl this year, but don’t act like they’re some rusted husk of the team that literally just won the super bowl.

    I hate this sub so very much sometimes

    Made this comment elsewhere, gonna drop it here too:

    I just ran the numbers.

    In the five seasons/10 games since Mahomes became QB1, not counting last night, the Raiders have lost to the chiefs 9 times by an average of 16.9 points. Only 3 of those losses have been what you’d call “One Possession”:

    Here are the combined margins of victory per season

    2018 - 39 total points

    2019 - 49 total points

    2020 - -4 total points (the only season with a win)

    2021 - 66 total points

    2022 - 19 total points

    I don’t understand why people want to burn everything down when last night was technically better than our historical average against Mahomes, and it was done with a rookie QB, OC, and Head Coach.

    Gruden & Carr only did better than last night’s margin twice in 6 games. Bissacia and Carr didn’t beat that margin in either of their 2 games. McDaniels and Carr had 1 of 2 games better than that margin.

    Why is this sub holding AP & AOC to a much higher standard than the “Glory Days” of getting stomped by 27-39 points???
