Travis Kelce's production has plummeted to a career-low 8.4 yards per catch

Another reason besides being 35 years old?

I mean the KC offense is pretty bad. The Oline is garbage and without Mahomes that team would be lucky to be 500 in my opinion.

Kelce is at the end. He is good for maybe another year or 2. And his main focus will be minimizing his reps until the playoffs. I just don’t think he has it anymore for a full season grind.

Kelce will always show up with big plays in big moments because he just knows how to do it and Mahomes and him work off a hive mind. But he is physically already not just over the hill but half way down.

Yep, he has been one of my two keepers for years, not next season.

Buffalo is now on my $&!* list, until they play KC. Would be nice to see them eliminated from all NFL coverage for a couple of weeks.

Wait until the playoffs start.

Ding ding ding! Winner. I mean, how many tight ends have been at the ‘elite’ level after 35? MAYBE Tony Gonzalez, and that dude was a fanatic about his body.

It’s just a brutal game. And tight ends (even ‘flex’ TEs/Big WRs) have to block big dudes SOME times. And if you make 80+ catches, you probably get tackled what, 60 times? Some of them are brutal!

Dude has been great. I don’t think people should crap on him because he is not as good as he was 7 years ago. Honestly, it’s pretty foolish of the chiefs to still have a 35 year old TE as a focal point for an offense.

Antonio Gates had a great season at 34 years old, but then began to decline:

Jason Witten had stats similar to Kelce at age 34-35:

He an Mahomes have an established connection and he seems much more of a safety valve than a vertical threat this season… He’s now just moving the chains instead of making big plays, finding open spaces in the defense whole Mahomes scrambles

She had the same effect on Teibow.

Definitely getting older…still has 700 yards though. Only 2 tds is a surprise. He’s not washed up, but clearly old man genes starting to kick in.

Here’s the real problem with Kelce right now :joy::joy:

If Kool-Aid Man joins Tay Tay and Kelce as a third, does that count as a bundlerooskidoo?

Skip is averaging more YPC than Kelce.

Better target to catch ratio

Just 1 Tuddy behind with 114 fewer targets.

Reporting Eligible

I was disappointed that his TD celebration wasn’t puking into the trash can related.

Wasted opportunity, Skip.
