Things are going great!

Pretty good game from Xavier Worthy last night, huh?

The Chiefs' rookie wide receiver scored a touchdown on, quite literally, the first regular season carry of his professional career. As it turns out, Andy Reid had a plan on how to use Worthy effectively and, as it turns out, it was a good plan. Don't blame yourself, no one could have seen this coming.

Xavier Worthy's somehow got even better after that, and he finished with another touchdown and 43 receiving yards to boot. And granted, every year someone always looks like a star in the opening game and then proceeds to have an absolutely mediocre rest of the season, but Worthy sure did look a lot like a guy who was going to be heavily featured in the Chiefs' offense all season. I don't want to bring up the Tyreek Hill comparisons yet, so I won't. But we're all thinking it.


Letting the Chiefs get Xavier Worthy already looks like a huge disaster

This blog isn't really going to be informative, just FYI. It's really just a space where we can all come together and collectively grieve about the fact that the Bills willingly allowed the Chiefs to draft Xavier Worthy. The Bills, who could use a wide receiver or two or four, actually traded with the Chiefs knowing full well what would happen. And they can deny it, but they knew. We all knew. Our timelines were not going to let us forget last night.

I am WELL aware that it's one game and that the Bills are their own team and should be able to figure out how to run the offense without one single rookie wide receiver, but that's not the point. The point is that there is no world where I will ever give the Chiefs the benefit of the doubt. Every Chiefs win is because another team allowed it, in some way or another. Everyone just gifts the Chiefs all their wins, and the Bills are certainly as guilty as anyone there.

So go ahead and be mad on the web about Xavier Worthy's incoming Hall of Fame season. Life's too short for context.
