The Chiefs would have won the season opener against the Lions if Kadarius Toney didn't play

I actually think the Chiefs would've won that game without Kadarius Toney. He gave them an a pick six. He then dropped that ball at the end of the game where it was just easily catchable. He dropped that third down conversion when the guy ran across his face. If you just take him away and just have someone run routes but never get the ball, you win that game.

Opinion Football Medium

The Chiefs lost 21-20 and Toney's drops were directly responsible for a 7-point swing on the pick-six and multiple stalled drives. It is statistically very likely the Chiefs win without those specific errors.

Matt Nagy is a major problem for the Kansas City Chiefs offense

I have one thing that Chiefs fans need to be worried about. It's one name and his name's Matt Nagy. Eric Bieniemy is no longer with the Chiefs and Chiefs fans, you saw Matt Nagy in all his glory on that third and two when they got so cute. That was a Nagy special. The idiocy of taking the ball outta Patrick Mahomes' hands on a third and two is mind blowing.

While the Chiefs offense struggled at times in 2023, they ultimately won Super Bowl LVIII. Nagy remained the OC, so 'major problem' proved hyperbolic.

Eric Bieniemy was the 'system' for the Chiefs and now that he's in Washington, Patrick Mahomes will be exposed

Is Patrick Mahomes a system quarterback? Was Eric Bieniemy the system? Do I now have the system? Is the system belong to me now? All your system belongs to us.

Hot Take Football ScorchingSarcastic

Mahomes won the Super Bowl without Bieniemy, while Bieniemy was fired after one season in Washington as the offense struggled.

Kadarius Toney will be removed from the Chiefs roster by mid-season after a blow-up with Patrick Mahomes

What's gonna happen is he's gonna have another bad performance... he's going to get mad at Mahomes for not throwing the ball anymore. and then by week nine, he's going to get disciplined by the team for yelling at Mahomes... and then he's gonna get traded, cut, removed from the team.

Prediction Football Hot

Toney was not cut or traded mid-season, but he was effectively removed from the lineup late in the season and was inactive for the playoffs and Super Bowl following a series of controversies.
