Alex Smith will be gone. Bob Sutton should be. Andy Reid will not (and should not) go anywhere. Get some coffee and your headphones. We’ll get through this together. It happened again. The Kansas City Chiefs ripped our hearts out with an early playoff exit. This time, it might actually be worse. Not because the meltdown […]

Andy Reid’s stated logic for keeping Bob Sutton had little to do with good reasoning and a lot to do with Reid’s views on the Chiefs’ success. Andy Reid probably could have made a solid argument for why he wanted to keep Bob Sutton on as the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive coordinator for 2018. He […]

We don’t know how seriously the Denver Broncos are trying to move Aqib Talib, but we do know that the Chiefs should welcome him to KC with open arms. Aqib Talib makes total sense on the 2018 Kansas City Chiefs. No qualifiers needed. On today’s Roughing the Kicker, we’ll look at the ins and outs of […]

There are tons of things to love about the Chiefs trade of Alex Smith, but one stands above the rest. Brett Veach is showing something great. Remember when the Chiefs were in a salary cap hell, understocked with draft picks and desperately in need of young playmakers on defense? Feels like it was just yesterday. […]

The Chiefs are about to enter an offseason of overhauls, and Brett Veach is looking like the man to pull it off. The Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC West on Christmas Eve, traded their Pro Bowl quarterback before Groundhog Day and openly parted ways with one of the team’s greatest defensive players before Valentine’s […]

Don’t let anyone tell you the Kansas City Chiefs were out of options on Marcus Peters. They were not. I won’t argue that Marcus Peters was a terribly fun player for Andy Reid to coach. I won’t refute reports that Peters wanted to leave Kansas City. That very well may be true. But for Andy […]

With recent reports indicating that Clark Hunt was unwilling to pay Marcus Peters beyond this season, Chiefs fans should wonder about the extent of Clark Hunt’s influence on football decisions.

When the Chiefs signed Xavier Williams, many fans assumed that the Chiefs were done finding defensive starters in free agency. Not so fast. The insta-analysis on Xavier Williams is pretty simple. He’s a young, ascending player who can stop the run and fill one of the three major holes the Chiefs have on defense. These […]

Schedule release day is a smorgasbord of junk food for starving NFL fans, and Brett Veach is cooking up some news of his own. Nobody really knows much of anything about what the NFL is going to look like in 2018. In fact, the Chiefs are probably one of the most volatile teams in the […]

The NFL Draft is finally here, and it seems more evident than ever that the Chiefs have their sights set on a cornerback — and they should. We’ve already talked (and I’ve already written) about Chiefs GM Brett Veach’s comments regarding his propensity for trading up in the Chiefs’ in-house mock drafts. We know that […]

The Kansas City Chiefs drafted defense like most of us thought last weekend, but not in the positions where fans expected. All things considered, the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2018 draft was probably fine. We don’t really know. Undrafted free agents can become stars and top-10 picks can become busts in the blink of an eye. […]

Sammy Watkins could plausibly be fourth in targets in the 2018 Chiefs offense and still be worth his massive contract. Sammy Watkins’ $48 million contract has become a negotiation point for many of the league’s top pass-catchers.

For Patrick Mahomes, some interceptions aren’t interceptions at all, and the others are well-timed mistakes. Sometimes, interceptions are just interceptions. Sometimes it’s just a turnover on a poor throw from an inaccurate quarterback. Sometimes, interceptions can be blamed on someone else. Maybe the receiver tips the ball up or runs the wrong route. But sometimes, […]

“Literally day-to-day.” That’s the phrase that Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder used to describe Eric Berry on Wednesday. Now, what exactly does that mean? “Literally day-to-day.” That’s the phrase that Kansas City Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder used to describe Eric Berry on Wednesday. Perhaps that is a sort of esoteric upgrade. It’s at least better than […]

We are witnessing either the beginning of a new era of Chiefs football or the cruelest joke ever played on a tortured fan base. There is no in-between.

As the Carolina Panthers gain a Pro Bowl safety at a bargain price, Kansas City Chiefs fans lost their collective minds—for a variety of reasons.
