Well this is the portion of the season where us Chiefs fans start to overreact. The Chiefs lost to divisional rival Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead. It was the first time in 11 months that the Chiefs had lost a game and the way they were manhandled on both sides of the ball, left a real nasty taste in the mouth. Though, I cussed and boo hooed Sunday afternoon and evening I regained my composure and confidence by Monday. Then as the week moved along what started as rumblings of Le’Veon Bell being on the trading block, to the Jets releasing him, to his ultimate signing with our defending Super Bowl champions, it went from a disastrous start to one that feels very exceptional. This move feels like something the Patriots would do and that is the model to follow.
It is bounce back week on the Run It Back tour. In a game rescheduled from Thursday night to Monday late afternoonish that could have a lot of playoff seeding implications. The Buffalo Bills do a lot of things right. They are effective in the pass game and control the ball with a solid run game. Defensively they defend the pass as well as anybody in the NFL but they lack a real good pass rush. The Chiefs will have some opportunities in this game but they need to be in position to capitalize. Josh Allen poses a a strong threat with both his arms and legs. I am trying to find reasons to pick against my Chiefs but there just doesn’t seem like there is enough there. A team in search of a reason to play with a chip on their collective shoulders finally has one. I like the Chiefs in a good Monday night road game against a tough Bills team. The Kingdom comes out strong and pulls away late. Chiefs 28 Bills 23
This week Jude and ventured downtown again and made it almost to Westport before stopping at Oddly Correct. Oddly is one of those second wave roasters that has been roasting great coffee in KC since their inception. I chose Pantan Musara a fully washed Sumatran. Though I typically shy away from Indonesian coffees because they are overly earthy, a nice way to say it tastes like dirt, I gave this one a try because it is the first fully washed variety that I remember seeing. Right out of the bag I am reminded of every other Sumatran coffee, strong aromas of earthy mustiness. Like an old attic or fresh straw in a sheep barn but ground up you feel like your taken to a spice market, scents of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a spicy hint of Chile de àrbol. That spiciness sticks around on first sip like Mexican hot chocolate then mellows out in an agave like sweetness. This heavy brew is perfect for this mild KC weather we’ve had the last couple of days. I give my full recommendation so head down Main Street or order online at https://oddlycorrect.com/shop/sumatra-pantan-musara-fully-washed/
