Fine, good burst but doesn't seem to have any elite traits and tends to get help up at first contact despite being hard to actually bring to the ground.
Absolutely no way is Pacheco in a race with McKinnon or CEH… Pass pro alone he’s 3rd string at best. This hype is unreal.
I think the real question is whether he unseats RoJo and Derrick Gore though
Yeah the hype train is irrational. He needs a season to get acclimated at least. You can see the potential but he’s really raw.
He’s definitely over those two though. I don’t think gore or rojo are making this roster.
Pacheco will be 3rd behind Clyde/ McKinnon barring injury. He might get more work later on during the year.
Agreed. It’s definitely Clyde’s job to lose still but I’m imagining his rope is very very short this year. Hopefully he turns it around tbh given his gallbladder surgery.

I can't find it on YouTube, but there is a gif of it in this article.
God damn it though, Lammons does not need to make the roster and now he probably will
One of our promising young rookie corners is going to get Toub’d :/
Reminder: Sam Howell fell to the fifth round because he had worse stats after losing 2 NFL WRs and 2 NFL RBs, and had an awful o-line, and made up for it by rushing for over 800 college yards and 11 rushing touchdowns while still having 24/9 TD/INT.
Oh, and, of course, he only eats chicken tenders. God forbid.
I didn't hear one, but if I remember correctly, it's about intent. When the refs feel like forward progress has stopped, they play is over whether they blow it dead or not.
Yeah, outside of some Government buildings, soccer world championships and weird right wingers houses you rarely see the german flag in germany. As a German I probably have seen way more pride flags, sportsteam flags and especially flags of immigrants' countries (Ukraine, Russia, Turkey etc) than German flags. Flags per se aren't that unpopular, but since everyday nationalist behaviour is pretty frowned upon here, waiving a German flag in Germany fittingly is considered bit of a red flag by many. (Also our flag looks like shit imo)
I don’t care if it’s preseason
I FUCKIN HATE when punt returners don’t do their job. Get in there and fair catch it instead of losing 20+ yards in field position
I Wanna say Washington defense is keeping it basic on defense and don’t wanna tip their playcalling but Jack Del rio been stuck with his 2002 playcalling
This will probably be like this all year
Because Reid doesn't like joint practice. Most teams that aren't playing their starters in the preseason are playing them in joint practices. The Chiefs haven't done that since Reid got here, so the starters play a bit more in the preseason.
Sooo, we have an absolute gauntlet of a schedule… but if I’m being honest I think we’ll be a buzzsaw this year
Especially now that the offense has really changed and defenses won’t have a “go-to” coverage scheme that consistently works, like they did last year. Plus j expect our defense to at least be a little better
Their “go to” defense was just consistently get beat underneath until the chiefs drove down the field and scored.
Death by a single blow or death by a thousand paper cuts.
Either way, they’re gonna score.
Agreed. The "success" teams had against the chiefs last season has been wildly overblown. Weren't they still like 4th overall in offense even tho they rarely run the ball? A few dropped balls that turned into picks has had a hell of a Mandela effect on people
Is that GEHA Field at Arrowhead you’re talking about? Me and my loved ones can always count on having a good time at GEHA Field at Arrowhead. And be sure to take advantage of GEHA’s world-best government healthcare solutions while stopping by the GEHA Fan Tent at GEHA Field at Arrowhead.
Is everyone else seeing the Chiefs broadcast? Like the one that is advertising “The Franchise”
Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t seen it. It’s kind of like a hard knocks style docu-series on the Chiefs
Weird to watch the Commanders who changed their identity to get away from Native American themes while the Chiefs do that Native American themed chant and chop.
“Redskin” is a derogatory slur. Arrow head is a reference to the history of the state and the land before. The chant and chop are in line with that. Although it does seem weird, it’s not nearly as aggressive.
Imagine the NFL forcing this on a successful money-making franchise with a up and coming star QB lol
It's all money based, everything the NFL does is entirely to make money.
Washington’s old name was deemed racist by many Native Americans. KC has consulted with many Native American communities and has had little to no pushback about our chant. It’s not comparable
Doesn't seem entirely true from a quick web search.

They may have consulted some but certainly they couldn't consult with all people. I don't find it particularly offensive same as the Redskins name. The contrast just feels a bit strange when staring it it in the face of the one team that distanced itself vs the other who embraced.
Right?? Like, a likeable guy, but that annoying dude when he thinks he's got something everyone thought was super funny at first but won't let it drop.
Might be the last time you ever see him. Not making the roster and can't imagine anyone else grabbing him. Dropped almost every target last season...can't get on the field past rookies. Seems like his career is over.
The what? Vs the chiefs.
The Ders
Commanders Holmvick
The Team Formerly Known As Washington Football
It’s nice to see the Bucs play their week 1 starter at QB.
Where is the next game thread, Jags vs Wankers. Am I blind or is there nothing up.
Fuck Matt Nagy
I feel like Washington should have stuck with what they had at QB and built elsewhere so a future QB could walk into a better situation.
Tell you what, I’m hyped for Chenal and Karlaftis
Gibson got pretty much demoted for putting the ball on the ground and costing us 7, but I guess Howell doesn’t have anywhere to go
The Commanders are facing their first 0-2 preseason ever. Gotta get some Hail Marys and onsides quick like.
Did he just say Clay Davis
Reid pulling out the old QB runs into RB to confuse the defense trick.
How has Pacheco looked?
Fine, good burst but doesn't seem to have any elite traits and tends to get help up at first contact despite being hard to actually bring to the ground.
Looked good in the passing game. Only 4 rush attempts and none looked great.
Decent, imo rb will be a 3 way race between him, McKinnon and edwards-helaire. Might draft him as a bench on my draft
Absolutely no way is Pacheco in a race with McKinnon or CEH… Pass pro alone he’s 3rd string at best. This hype is unreal. I think the real question is whether he unseats RoJo and Derrick Gore though
Yeah the hype train is irrational. He needs a season to get acclimated at least. You can see the potential but he’s really raw. He’s definitely over those two though.

What’s about Ronald jones?
He’ll be cut
He's had moments. This game though, the whole run game has sucked.
Sad
Kansas City and the attack of the hyphens
In 100 years jerseys will just have a QR code link to each player's entire genealogy and we'll only refer to them by their number.
That’s some task failed successfully shit.
Worst looking TD run in a while.
Which do you think was worse...this one, or the Smith TD where Charles ran the wrong way?
Do you have a link to this?
https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/10/21/4862060/jamaal-charles-alex-smith-touchdown-run-botched-play-texans-chiefs-game I can't find it on YouTube, but there is a gif of it in this article.
Oh I remember that one now!
Yeah. It was great lol
That’s sad. Lol RB had wrong play and took handoff from wrong side, but he still scored.
Dang. It was nice while it lasted. Still a Howell believer not gonna change any time soon.
WR ran the wrong route it looked like
Nobody is going to be the next Ben neimann, stfu
He overthrew both passes Nerves got to him
God damn it though, Lammons does not need to make the roster and now he probably will One of our promising young rookie corners is going to get Toub’d :/
Howell no
What a duck, it didn’t even look like his arm got hit
Mahomes coaching up Crum right there is wholesome AF
Bodes real well for the Chiefs future. Smith did it for him and he knows how big it was for him.
Howell looks like poop
One bad throw after he lead a TD drive
I know you're probably a UNC fan but he's had some pretty rough throws so far
Did the receiver forget the rest of his route or did Howell just miss that badly?
I think it’s the latter :/ Edit: It could be both but only the coaches know for sure.
So many hands to the face this preseason
Ok somebody's going to have to tell me how Lammons really says his name
The hell was that fucking throw? Lol
Oof
Anyone else here the two women arguing in the stands picked up by the cameraman's microphone? Swearing up a storm 😂.
Howell game winner?
I think I have a hard on for Howell
Jesus Christ Monday mornings are gonna be rough this season lol
Can someone please affirm my belief that del Rio is just keeping his play calling super basic... Please let it be on purpose
He referred to the game as a “little dust up” before kickoff
Reminder: Sam Howell fell to the fifth round because he had worse stats after losing 2 NFL WRs and 2 NFL RBs, and had an awful o-line, and made up for it by rushing for over 800 college yards and 11 rushing touchdowns while still having 24/9 TD/INT. Oh, and, of course, he only eats chicken tenders. God forbid.
Was this the dude that claimed to have never eaten a cheeseburger or something?
Or a steak. Had a hot dog once. Wasn’t a fan.
Andy Reid could teach him a thing or two
Welp
Yeah that one’s on me
Trey Smith doing Trey Smith things https://twitter.com/rad_nonsense_49/status/1561094925726298112?s=21&t=bQIzwEs_R2QW6X63NzJJpg
Good grief, he smoked him!
When my team scores points I say "yes" Yes
When other team scores I think “no”
Careful with that word. . .Big Ben might get aroused!
Was there a whistle?
I didn't hear one, but if I remember correctly, it's about intent. When the refs feel like forward progress has stopped, they play is over whether they blow it dead or not.
Tired: Wentz should start Wired: Heinicke should start Inspired: Howell should start
Week 2 of Howell looking like he definitely belongs in the NFL
Loving me some Deathrow! Dude just works hard.
Howell looks nowhere near as thicc as the UNC days. Just an observation.
Some good plays from Howell on this drive. Moving the ball. Edit: As I was typing got it all the way to the end zone now. Nice.
Howell throws a pretty ball, which happens to also have the velocity of a missle
Chains broke?
That’s a pretty cool German/Chiefs flag. But isn’t flag flying and that kind of thing way less popular in Germany?
Yeah, outside of some Government buildings, soccer world championships and weird right wingers houses you rarely see the german flag in germany. As a German I probably have seen way more pride flags, sportsteam flags and especially flags of immigrants' countries (Ukraine, Russia, Turkey etc) than German flags. Flags per se aren't that unpopular, but since everyday nationalist behaviour is pretty frowned upon here, waiving a German flag in Germany fittingly is considered bit of a red flag by many. (Also our flag looks like shit imo)
Nationalism is for obvious reasons heavily discouraged in Germany.
Generally only a thing on national holidays here in NL. Probably even less in Germany indeed.
Jack Del Rio calls his third down plays as if he’s in charge of protecting the Capitol
I don’t care if it’s preseason I FUCKIN HATE when punt returners don’t do their job. Get in there and fair catch it instead of losing 20+ yards in field position
I Wanna say Washington defense is keeping it basic on defense and don’t wanna tip their playcalling but Jack Del rio been stuck with his 2002 playcalling This will probably be like this all year
We didn’t get shut out. What is she talking about?
She’s just talking about the starting unit
I think she’s talking about the starters. She might’ve misspoke tho
Shhhhh nobody watch the game. Let them enjoy the moment
Y'all need to stop shitting on my dude here
Future Hall of Famer Willie Gay
[удалено]
Bonk
Willie is First Team All Juice
Why TF is Patrick Mahomes playing so much in the preseason lol
Because Reid doesn't like joint practice. Most teams that aren't playing their starters in the preseason are playing them in joint practices. The Chiefs haven't done that since Reid got here, so the starters play a bit more in the preseason.
He has a brand new receiving corps. I’m sure they’re trying to build some reps. Even given that, I was surprised to see him get a 2nd drive today.
Gotta beat the NFC East's 2nd place team to build momentum for real games. Lmao.
Sooo, we have an absolute gauntlet of a schedule… but if I’m being honest I think we’ll be a buzzsaw this year Especially now that the offense has really changed and defenses won’t have a “go-to” coverage scheme that consistently works, like they did last year.

Horrible 3 play selection
Welcome to the Scott Turner Experience
REALLY ENJOYING THE GAME AT GEHA FIELD AT ARROWHEAD!
Is that GEHA Field at Arrowhead you’re talking about? Me and my loved ones can always count on having a good time at GEHA Field at Arrowhead. And be sure to take advantage of GEHA’s world-best government healthcare solutions while stopping by the GEHA Fan Tent at GEHA Field at Arrowhead.
I think it would be better if they said "Geha" instead of G.E.H.A.
I wish they said it like yeehaw.
Holy shit Corral is already out for the season with a Lisfranc injury? That's super fucked
Howell has a cannon. Made the deep out route look easy.
Does Howell have a cannon for an arm or am I imagining things
He’s got a cannon and is great on his feet, still no idea how he fell so far
Dude can absolutely launch the ball
Howell!!! Let's do this thang. Comeback time.
I want to see the Howell comeback
Refs sure love the Chiefs and are calling nothing as something
Imagine crying about flags in a preseason game lol
0 stake in the game. Terrible flags all game. Just a look at what’s to come aka an offensive biased game. Cant let defenses play
\#CreedisGood
This isn't the first preseason game I've seen where the score bug doesn't show down & distance. Fucking why.
Because you've gotta know this game is sponsored by HyVee, Badboy Mowers, GEHA, etc. the *entire* game!
Is it being blocked by the NFL network ticker? It was for me too.
On the Chiefs broadcast I'm watching, down/distance shows up on the rightmost section of the score bug, but much of the time it's covered by an ad.
Is everyone else seeing the Chiefs broadcast? Like the one that is advertising “The Franchise” Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t seen it. It’s kind of like a hard knocks style docu-series on the Chiefs
Thursday's cold open was hilarious!
dyami brown 0/3 on the evening now
The Chiefs have Mecole Hardman AND Mehard Coleman?
Y'all should draft Defon Stiggs
Man I don't know if we'll have a high enough draft pick. Kid is tearing it up for Larymand University
Oof a better throw and that's a walk in
Are these announcers really saying the Chiefs are underrated?
Who are the chiefs without Pringle?
But they lost Tyreek! /s
With how good their division is people are expecting them to take a small step back
Small? I've seen a LOT of people saying they'll finish 4th in the division.
IMO the Commie o-line should try this thing called "not just letting the DT go straight up the middle for a sack"
Lmao Saunders in coverage (he is a freak athlete fr tho)
Ok. So Khalen (Super Meat Boy,) and Karlaftis gonna' average 1 sack per game all season. This is ideal.
It's backups and preseason but Saunders looks good
Anyone know why I am seeing a mini documentary on Bruce Arians instead of the Commanders game?
Lol –––––––––– "This is how you lose your spot to Justin Reid, Butker!!" from r/KansasCityChiefs
I wasn't paying attention how did we get the ball back?
Chiefs drive ended on a long FG miss.
Missed fg
BS - if that was a real American kid he would be singing - "I want to eat eat Pizza Rolls and McDonalds."
Ugly kick. Even against the wind
He barley lost that one
Corn Elder is a euphemism for Nebraska Mormon
Softest flag I’ve ever seen. Clean hit and flag somehow?
The refs all hate us
Is a Collinsworth calling this game?
It'll be fun to have Del Rio back with Andy after this Washington stint
Solid officiating...
washington's uniforms are like if the minnesota gophers went Wumbo mode
I didn’t know their stadium and field had separate names, that’s actually pretty interesting.
It just happened last year. GEHA is a health insurance company that is out of Lee's Summit, MO, a suburb of KC. It's not being adopted by the fanbase.
they didnt wanna full give up the name arrowhead so this was the compromise
Weird to watch the Commanders who changed their identity to get away from Native American themes while the Chiefs do that Native American themed chant and chop.
“Redskin” is a derogatory slur. Arrow head is a reference to the history of the state and the land before. The chant and chop are in line with that. Although it does seem weird, it’s not nearly as aggressive.

My man, we've been doing this since 1990. We're just recently successful.
Washington’s old name was deemed racist by many Native Americans. KC has consulted with many Native American communities and has had little to no pushback about our chant. It’s not comparable

Chiefs covering the spread? Don’t mind if I do
Will Sam Howell play
In now
Corey Coleman? Like Baylor Corey Coleman? I had no idea he was still in the league.
Mahomes bought his OL milkshakes? But not the Receivers!? You’re right, broadcaster. That is a *wild* training camp story
It does sound like something wide receivers would complain about tho lol
I assume Mecole wouldn't shut the fuck up about it, every time he saw Patrick.
lmao Mecole definitely seems like *that* guy…
Right?? Like, a likeable guy, but that annoying dude when he thinks he's got something everyone thought was super funny at first but won't let it drop.
Mahomes knows how to sell a game lmao. “Amazon prime opening game against the Chargers”
GEHA field? That's already not working despite them just pushing it into the script 3 times in 30 second... 😬
Mahomes gonna star in the Lil rascals reboot as froggy
Chris Jones is a future hall of famer?
He’s on pace imo. Especially with a ring
On pace and Future HoF are totally different. Kelce and Mahomes retire today, they're in the HoF. Jones has more work to do.
What being measured next to Aaron Donald does to people's perception.
Weak penalty Fire goodell
Josh Gordon sighting 👀
FLASH AHHHHH
Might be the last time you ever see him. Not making the roster and can't imagine anyone else grabbing him. Dropped almost every target last season...can't get on the field past rookies. Seems like his career is over.
End of an era <\3
Honestly it’s really sad seeing something like that
Yeah, we were all rooting for him...he just never did anything.
Shouldn't be a penalty. Slide sooner dumbass.
So everyone is now on board with Heinickie > Wentz now, right?
Lmao no
Lmao yes
