Mahomes thinks Chiefs can go 20-0

[nickers]

He may have jinxed his team with that comment...

[Tour2ma]

"Thinks" and "can" is kinda far short of a Joe Willie guarantee...

Agree it ain't happenin', but who would expect that QB on that team to say any different?

Hell... I'll bet Baker has had the same thought

Aside...

Is it just me or does nickers in that avatar pic look like he has some Klingon in him?

Solid body guitars rule!!! Fender Stratocaster... I'm a leftie like my hero Jimi Hendrix- never in my wildest dreams could I ever reach the top frets on one (other than ordering up a custom made one).   So I had to settle for a double cut out...    Gretch Corvette, & BTW, mine has a wham bar on it, with double pickups... .    

Like this...  Of course I had to flip it in reverse...  I'm not as talented as Doyle Bramhall another leftie- who managed to flip a right handed guitar at Crossroads upside down and play it decently...  against all the logic you ever learned- pick up, not down, and your chords are ass- backwards too... Believe me- I've been asked to try... and in case you're wondering- I'd currently be hard pressed to play the three chord intro to Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water, I'm so out of practice.

Yup, and Kurt Cobain was another. Ditto Paul McCartney.    We're about as uncommon as left handed golfers- like Phil Mickelson....  & FWIW, I tried playing golf left handed, but wound up playing righty- very poorly I might add...  I mentioned it before, Jack Nicklaus is left handed- but golfs right.  

It's one of those weird things about nature, there's really no reason a person should favor one hand over the other, but 80% of the world is right handed.  PS- I played tennis left handed, and was fairly good at it.

Some are ambidextrous:     My sister  writes and eats left handed,  but she always threw a ball  right handed.    I don't know about how she batted or would play golf...never saw her do either.

LOL, I'll go way off topic... I have no proof since I can't ask him- but my cat Norman is left pawed.   When he's playing, always swats with his left. Takes after his Dad.

Most of the best golfers I know are lefties who play right-handed.

Cruel secret of the game is you want the leading arm to be the stronger for swing control.

And yes... there are examples of righties who golf lefty... one just won the PGA...

Just a bit of history on  undefeated seasons:

Pre 1932:/playoffs: 

Team	Wins	Losses	Ties	Other
1920 Akron Pros season	8	0	3	1 game canceled
1922 Canton Bulldogs season	10	0	2	-
1923 Canton Bulldogs season	11	0	1	-
1929 Green Bay Packers season	12	0	1	-

Post 1932:

Team	Wins	Losses	Playoff results	Final result
1934 Chicago Bears season	13	0	Lost NFL Championship Game against New York Giants	13–1
1942 Chicago Bears season	11	0	Lost NFL Championship Game against Washington Redskins	11–1
1972 Miami Dolphins season	14	0	Won three playoff games including Super Bowl VII against Washington Redskins	17–0
2007 New England Patriots season	16	0	Won two playoff games before losing in Super Bowl XLII against New York Giants	18–1

1948 Cleveland Browns[edit]

The Browns were a member of the All-America Football Conference, a professional football league that played from 1946 to 1949. In 1948, the Browns won all fourteen regular season games and the 1948 AAFC championship to post a 15–0–0 record. Cleveland's perfect 1948 season was part of a longer string of 29 straight wins, which stretched from 1947 to 1949 and included both the 1947 and 1948 title games. Overall, the Browns won all four AAFC championship games and were accepted into the NFL when the two leagues merged after the 1949 season.

do a history of winless seasons, Steelers had one before we did.

Phil Mickelson is completely right handed. He learned his left handed swing by mirroring his fathers opposite swing

How's Chiefs Kingdom?.. Kink #1.. 

It’s just that under head coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs have seldom faced this particular problem to begin a season — and this is hardly the first time since his arrival where significant parts of the Week 1 line were unsettled before training camp has begun.

https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/6/29/22555567/pff-calls-chiefs-offensive-line-chemistry-a-major-concern-for-2021

LT	57	Brown, Orlando T/Bal	00	Miller, Wyatt SF21
LG	62	Thuney, Joe U/NE	73	Allegretti, Nick 19/7	65	Smith, Trey 21/6	79	Durant, Yasir CF20
C	66	Blythe, Austin U/LAR	52	Humphrey, Creed 21/2	64	Williams, Darryl CF20
RG	69	LONG, KYLE SF21	76	DUVERNAY-TARDIF, LAURENT 14/6	77	Wylie, Andrew SF17
RT	75	REMMERS, MIKE U/NYG	67	Niang, Lucas 20/3	70	Wanogho, Prince Tega SF21

PFF ranks the KC OL as a fair #7.. A Browns defensive line lack of chemistry just waiting to happen...

defensive Edit---All of that likely contributes to why the Kansas City Chiefs are planning to take one of their best interior defensive players, Chris Jones, and move him out on the edge more this upcoming season.

75 days away & Good Bye June.... 

[Pat Mahomo]

The starting O line for KC is much more likely to be

LT Brown

LG Thuney

C Humphrey

RG T. Smith

RT. Niang.

It will take some time to get chemistry whoever they roll with, but the talent upgrade across the board will outweigh that 10 fold.

This line is going  to be outstanding.  Trey Smith will prove to be the steal of the entire draft.

[Tour2ma]

Pat better be wearing track shoes early on...

As for draft steals... I do not think OGs are eligible for that. Although Bitonio came close for us...

Smith has been getting first-round buzz ever since joining Tennessee. He played three different positions competently as a freshman before kicking out to left tackle full-time as a sophomore and looking out of place with a 62.9 overall grade. Smith has continuously battled blood clots in his lungs, which have cost him games and practice time. The next step toward dominance that was once promised never came, as he peaked with a 78.6 overall grade in 2019. He'll flash some monster blocks, and his pop on contact is about as good as it gets in the class. After four years, though, consistency is still the issue.

I'll see your Smith and raise you a Newsome and a JOK...

And yes, I know string bets are not allowed.

From the day Trey Smith left the Senior Bowl. There was noway I saw him sitting until the 6th round.. His non-Combine medicals..Cost him far more than JOK's did. 

Trey's only taken 2 snaps at your projected RG spot..https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/trey-smith/62960/draft-profile  makes me wonder if his anchor foot (clots) becomes a issue moving him to the right side? ?

Wait ! Non-KC sports trivia time...Name a Cleveland Brown nor non-star that could get this lucky? https://fox4kc.com/sports/arraignment-and-plea-hearing-scheduled-for-chiefs-frank-clark/ 

It starts with.. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark will face a judge in Los Angeles County in the middle of the NFL season.

What will the NfL Or Andy Reid ponder?

[jiggins7919]

I doubt undefeated, but I can see why he'd think that. I'm betting on the Chiefs to win week 1, that's for sure. Week 1, on the road, AT Kansas City? And we haven't won an opener since 'Nam? Yeah, give me all that action.
