Chiefs TE Travis Kelce on wearing Guardian Caps: ‘I think they’re silly’ | Chiefswire
“I think the guardian caps are silly,” Kelce said. “We’re just out here wearing mushroom helmets that are doing nothing but adding weight to our heads. Hopefully, we can get rid of those so we don’t have to wear them again.”
Chiefs rookie WR Skyy Moore adjusting to dual roles on offense, special teams | Chiefswire
Moore returned a combined three kicks for 21 yards and one punt for no yards in college, so his experience there is quite limited. His role on offense, however, is progressing much the same. Moore explained that it may take some time given the intricacies of Andy Reid’s schemes and the different roles that he might play within them.
2022 NFL Preview: We’re about to find out if the Chiefs are a long-lasting dynasty | yahoo/sports
There are plenty of teams that looked like they’d win for many, many years — some with great quarterbacks — and they never make it back to a Super Bowl after their first couple. It could be Dan Marino’s Miami Dolphins, Brett Favre’s Green Bay Packers, Kurt Warner’s St. Louis Rams, Drew Brees’ New Orleans Saints, Aaron Rodgers’ Packers, Russell Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks … sometimes budding dynasties end way before we think they will. The NFL is competitive. Nothing is ever guaranteed.

Morning Bowl of (T)Weeties:
Arrowhead Guys Twitter:

No, #Chiefs RT Jawaan Taylor was not "benched" after penalties per Andy Reid: "Well, I subbed out some guys. He also got hit in the mouth and got a cut in there that wasn’t feeling too good. He’ll be fine though."
Taylor re-entered the game for a bit after PTW/Donovan Smith left…
For the record, here is where Jawaan Taylor was lined up when he was flagged for his second penalty that wiped out the TD.
Taylor has to adapt to the refs, but this spotlight he has on him now is complete BS. Dude was doing the exact same thing last year in Jacksonville and nobody cared one bit.
#Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie says that missing half the season last year gave him a big chip on his shoulder coming into this year. He's focused on doing his job and proving he can make an impact.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game. #Bears #ChiefsKingdom #NFL

Nope , No, Never gonna happen….
Lol yeah I know, he burned that bridge just found it interesting since analysts are comparing Isiah Pacheco to Hunt.
He was all-world with us.
He has been serviceable back-up in Cleveland.
The year we lost him, our offensive production in games with him were almost identical to those without him.
I’d give up a 7th for him. I don’t see the value. Maybe Andy could turn him all-world again, but I doubt Clark is over being lied to his face.
And unless he’s getting paid league minimum, what on earth does he think he’s done to deserve a hold out? Shows that his judgement hasn’t improved over the years.
More on this

Kareem Hunt has a 4.4 ypc in 3 years at Cle.
CEH has a 4.4 ypc here.
Kareem already making $6mil this year and wants more.
And all that is before we remember he lied to Reid and Clark Hunt.
That’s one thing Andy don’t cotton to.
kareem hunt — hahahahahahahaha
Nicely sized up. A clear no.
Trivia surprise:
Dick Vermeil, HoF coach, coached 3 teams and was sub .500 with one of them. Know which one?
The one he won the SB with.
Josh Gordon next?
Almost inevitable. If he hasn’t learned by now to move to the ball rather than waiting feet planted for the pass to come to him like I saw a couple of times last year…
think that sweater keeps her warm?
I think the sweater is irrelevant.
I think you overstated that
There’s a sweater?
the proper response is; who gives a fuck about the sweater
She has eyes, too. I know, she’s perfect!
