NFL 2024 Season

What's a "Mike Williams"?

 

[Kev The Rat]

He's never been much of a separator. He's one of the best route runners and contested catchers of the last 10 years though. There was a stat saying that the Chiefs had only one contested catch all season until last night, when Dhop got two in a single night. Chiefs' receiver problems over the last two years haven't been about separation, its been drops. They've basically solved that overnight.

Draws immediete double coverage - every single down, or at least he did in Houton and Arizona - not sure about Tennessee. That will help Kelce, and the other receivers when they return.

Teams have to pick their poison. They can't just double Kelce now that there are two big, strong pass catchers who can instinctively move into areas of the field to extend plays even when they break down. You can't double both of them

I think Hop is the perfect fit for how the Chiefs need to play now. He's barely even opened the playbook, it's exciting to think of the potential offence they'll be able to put together with Nuk in the mix

The answer to me is very obviously make Hopkins win the battle on the outside 15+ times. If he earns it he earns it, what you can’t beat the Chiefs doing in letting Kelce (or Grey or Watson) walk 12 yards down the field uncontested on a bunch of third downs.

Even last night Hopkins was winning because the Bucs played a ton of zone and allowed uncontested in breakers. Mahomes is too good to win that way. At least contested catches are by nature a contest.

I can like this. Maybe keep Mickey around if he is willing to acquire talent and picks instead of doubling down every year.

 

[Acrobat]

This is why Mahomes is the best QB ever. No one else makes this pass. The catch by DHop is out of this world as well but this angle shows Mahomes true greatnesss as picks out Hopkins.

I agree here on Mahomes' throw - but that is a routine catch from Hopkins, nothing special.

Really tough for next year’s cap though.

until I read the Esk break down the cap it's not real

Too early to proclaim a perfect season for the Chiefs?

Yes. They were in overtime last night.

Maybe, but outside of the Bills, Texans and Steelers I can’t see anyone else laying a finger on them. Bills are the best bet out of these 3 teams but that depends on how long it takes our offence to get going. The Bills also have the edge (3-1) in regular season games in the Allen/Mahomes era. It’s the playoffs were it all falls apart for the Bills.

They Chiefs may have the #1 seed sewn up early and then rest players for the playoffs, a loss may come in that scenario. Doubtful Reid would do that, but you never know.

The Chiefs are better than everyone they play aside from maybe Buffalo but I once again want to stress this is not the 2007 Patriots. They will have to work for the 1 seed yet.

@Prevenger17

An obviously ridiculous thing to say. No other Chiefs receiving player apart from Kelce would be able to do what Hop did in that level of coverage. An incredible throw (ball was never in danger even if Hop couldn't bring it down) and an obviously incredible catch
