They were just finishing up talking about cut-down day which is this Tuesday. They will get down to the required 53 and it is always a bit interesting to see how that plays out. Right now some are conjecturing they'll likely pick up a released defensive end when he becomes available after that date.
So far I've just recognized how blessed we are to have a team filled with really pretty decent players in every room, and we can actually be disappointed about who we have to keep off the roster. Remember the days just before the cut-down date and we'd be resigned to the reality: "Um, we got nobody in that position room." "Uh, that position room is so weak, uggh, I hope who we keep is any good." "Well, I think the people we keep there can be okaaay..."
Oh my. Awful memories.
As it is the Chiefs just now drove down the field under backup QB Gardner Minshew for another score, this time a field goal. The first team offense did their job getting us to 17-3, now it is 20-3. We may actually win an exhibition game!
The best thing about this is that Patrick Mahomes is done today and that means he got through the entire preseason without issue. ::Whew!:: as it has always seemed to be good to breathe in these moments. As a team we've been generally injury-free for the most part, but then there is a whole second half of this game.
We're also wondering what is going to happen with the imminent Rashee Rice suspension. That they have yet to make a firm decision is disconcerting. The whole legal protocols have already been completed, but the NFL continues to drag its feet. Some think nothing will happen until a recently scheduled September 30th hearing after which they'll bring the hammer down, but they have had plenty of time to fully examine all the details of what happened now well over a year ago.
As it is now, next game that counts is the Friday opener September 5th against the Chargers in Brazil.
Go Chiefs!
