After the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the New York Jets in Week 9, we checked the comments on X to find the strongest reactions to the game. The question is: Are they overreactions or not?
Thank god we won, but we need help. We don’t stand a chance against better teams right now.
I agree the Chiefs need help, especially at receiver. But saying they don’t stand a chance against the better teams is a reach to me. They already beat Denver and were a couple yards away from sweeping them. If we’re calling
Denver one of the best teams in the AFC, how can we sit here and act like the Chiefs can’t hang with those teams?
Sack Nation is back!
The Chiefs got to Geno Smith five times, and Chris Jones, the leader of Sack Nation, had two of those sacks himself. That was good to see, but let’s be real about who they played. The Jets stink, and even after a five-sack game, the Chiefs are still near the bottom of the league in sacks. I need to see them do it against a better offense before I’m ready to say Sack Nation is back.
We now need 2 wide receivers; Patrick Mahomes isn’t human.
I’m with you on this one because as good as Patrick Mahomes is, the Chiefs have to get him some help. To me, the cleanest path is to trade for a receiver now, whether that’s Josh Downs or Brian Thomas Jr. If Tyreek Hill gets healthy enough to play at some point this season, I’d bring him back too. He already knows Andy Reid’s offense and has chemistry with Mahomes, so he should be able to slide right in.
Release Butker and move on from Toub
I’m with you on this one. Harrison Butker has fallen off a cliff, and it’s gotten to the point where even the kicks you used to pencil in feel like an adventure. Then you’ve got Dave Toub’s unit committing penalty after penalty, and at some point that falls on the coach. I’d be fine with the Chiefs moving on from both.
