The Raiders played really well. Carr made the throws he had to, the Raiders D-Line played great, and our secondary got burned a few times. I'm not concerned. Raiders are a playoff team and call it complacent, poor game plan, whatever, we will improve. The O-Line will need to be schemed around a bit more with more screens and draws, but we will be fine.

18-1

Can’t win them all.  Chiefs have been looking complacent most of the season and it finally snuck up to them.  Amazing how Chiefs can play like trash while Carr plays best game of his life and we barely lose.  I fully expect us to smoke the Raiders next game.

I don't think they've looked complacent at all.

Joe Biden's ability to stand there for 90 minutes and not storm off the stage is commendable. I wouldn't have been able to do that.

If they keep this playoff formant (which I pray they don't) the Royals should enter the offseason looking to add major league pieces with an expectation of making the playoffs in 2021.

2007- opening day. I’m at the game with my Dad. He was sad because he knew he would have to leave before the game ended to go to a funeral for the son of a friend. “But Dad,” i say “Alex Gordon is going to make his debut today.” So dad comes to the game, at least for a few innings. Bottom of the 1st, Schilling is on the mound for the Red Sox. Royals get a couple, and it’s 2 outs bases loaded. Back then Schilling was known for the bloody sock and the 2001 World Series, not weird political stuff, he was legend, but we had drafted a kid from close to home who was going to be the next George Brett. Alex strikes out and Dad has to leave to make it to the funeral. Don’t worry Dad. 7 years from now, we’ll sweep the Orioles and that kid from Nebraska will have played to his potential. He’ll even make a great catch in left field in to help us win that day. We’ll find each other after the game and hug. “Love you Dad” “Love you too son, hey- remember when we went to Gordon’s first game? I bet you didn’t picture this!”

Actually I did, but my imagination was always a bit dreamy.

Cheers Alex. Cheers. No, you weren’t the next George Brett, but you were the only Alex Gordon, and that’s pretty damn good.

In 2014 i bought front row royals tickets from O town cat. They were right behind the dugout. We beat Detroit on the day before the all star break. He sold me the same seats again (at face value because #1cat, #1royal) and i went with mrs cf3, j-dub, and slimz. It was a pretty light crowd, and the game was nothing special. We’re down a run and Alex is up. I yell to Rusty Kuntz- “WATCH ALEX WALK US OFF!” and he did. What a night. If you look close enough, you can see us behind the dugout partying.

 The best player on the 2014-15 teams was Cain.
The vocal leader of the 2014-15 teams was Hosmer.
The emotional core of the 2014-15 teams was Salvy.
The secret weapon of the 2014-15 teams was HDH.

Yet, Alex was at the heart of it all, quietly being the best defensive left fielder in the game, and worked hard enough to be a really good offensive player. He was clutch, he was a winner, he lead by example. Cheers Alex. To the next chapter.

And Mitch is amaze. He’s a dork and his overused sayings are ridiculous, but how can you not embrace a nerd like that? He loves the chiefs, just like me and my chiefs buds.

Michigancat- that would've happened in any NFL city, including Seattle or San Fran. JMHO.

maybe but probably not. I don't think Kaep ever got booed in Santa Clara and the reception was different wherever he went (and Kape kneeling was much more objectionable than a "moment of unity"). I bet a place like ATL or New Orleans with a lot more black fans wouldn't have let the boos be heard or would have shamed the racists into silence. yeah most NFL crowds are pretty white and racist but they aren't all the same.

Imagine going to a chiefs game, as a chiefs fan, watching the super bowl banner go up, seeing the troph, and booing the team before the game even starts.

I do find it p funny that people are upset about sports being political when we've had 100 yard flags and God Bless America and flyovers and salute to service and all that for like 100 years. I mean, come on guys.

i watched some 2019 highlights before the game and forgot that Mitch pronounces "touchdown" like "touchdahn"

did I tell you I was on a zoom call with Mitch during quarantine? talking to him in a normal conversation he sounds like he's announcing a game. it was amaze.

question for everyone: when did "chiefs kingdom" become a thing? I don't remember it when I lived in KC like 10 years ago and didn't pay attention to the Chiefs again until last season

Mitch invented it. He started using it in the early 2000s I think but it took a while to catch on. He's so herp derpy about it. If a player is from anywhere from Nebraska, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, Iowa, etc. he'll be like "Jones was born in Fargo- he hails from the kingdom."

Thoughts on the game:

1. The pre-game unity thing was so tame and frankly a-political, it was disappointing to hear any boos, but not unexpected. This thread explains it some of the in stadium confusion too.

So, lots of talk about Areowhead fans booing during the moment of silence for racial inequality.

I’m was at the game. Here’s what I heard/saw: (1/6)

2. Andy's face shield was amaze/incred. I can't get over it. I was crackin' every time they showed him.
3. I don't know who will be able to slow this offense. They brought the whole thing back and upgraded at RB. Patrick looks totally relaxed, and for a team without preseason reps, they only had a few out of sync moments. I bet once you see the rest of the league and how sloppy some offense will look, the Chiefs performance will be more impressive.
4. D-Line looked good, secondary looked good enough, and we only need an above average D most weeks.
5. The fake crowd noise (they had extra crowd noise pumped in) is so dumb. I don't hate it as much as I hate it in baseball, but I still hate it.
6. 19-0 is totally in play.

I love the Chiefs.

Fake season. Doesn’t matter. These are essentially exhibitions so who cares.
