what about exchanging fgs? Or no scores?

honest question - have we ever seen the chiefs go for two there? I know it’s a niche situation they might not have faced but curious if we’ve seen it I understand. But many are acting like it’s without question anyway which would negate a lot

then the 9ers know they must go for it and not kick if the TD is inevitable

I think you are allowing yourself to be a prisoner of last nights moment. Nothing says either team scores a TD. once across the 50 the chiefs very well could end with 3 last night and ignoring last night, there’s a chance neither team scores on their first drive. im not arguing it’s a slam dunk choice but maintain most are completely discounting the possible upsides.

Drive 3 is sudden death though and that’s not a minor thing

Andy Reid going to accidentally walk into a door in the locker room and then with black eye target Kelce like 10 times from here

there’s also the reality that both a spread and condensed can be correct approaches for the same personnel, in the same era, etc…. Sometimes it’s just two different ways that are both good if you have solid players and good play calling

kind of? Substantially.

you put a te in the field to be physical

the percentage of passes that kamara caught flat footed and at the line of scrimmage as a 3rd option was maddening. he wasn’t getting wheels and whips and crafty screens on a lot of those targets. It was Chip block, slip through the line, wait for the check down and get clobbered by the mlb way too many times. im really hoping the two had some of those late night “if I were in charge” ***** talking sessions that revealed curry to be more exciting than Carmichael allowed

which is probably the mvp like 70-80% of the time…. But does take the fun out of it

no it was a completely dysfunctional offense and a trainwreck that relied on “we can’t do anything else” and resulted in kamara having his lowest yards per catch in his career

carr wasn’t seeing the field, receivers were a mess and kamara got a thousand dump offs approach

They overlapped in Nola - so fingers crossed they work together well and are aligned in strategy (and hopefully not the current saints passing strategy)

agreed

honestly, some sarcasm on my part. If we have the best qb and are settling for sneaking by some day - it’s better than never winning but it’s a bummer as an aspirational goal if we get to 2 SB and win 1 that would kind of be where I want the absolute floor to be with this type of qb.

we are never going to be a dynasty but we could possibly win is a fun standard to accept with the best qb in the league

oh we are blessed to have him and I’m not complaining but it’s without question that we could field a higher quality 52 around him 2-3 years ago. if we hit on a WR, or pass rusher suddenly - we get that 50m perk back

if you don’t care about the product on the field, any move is possible the practical nature of the situation is they can keep him a bill for 19m in cash - not a terrible bad value; or Trade him for a modest return, and see his cap hit go up; or cut him and see the increased dead money and get no return but instead have the ability to shift the dead money to next year. I think the situation would need to be incredibly toxic and not just uncomfortable to see him not on the roster. We will see.

there’s not a ton diggs can do to reduce the dead money. That’s just cash already paid but not yet accounted for in our cap hits due to amortization trading your WR1, to get a cap hit that goes up and creating a hole to fill is a tough pull to swallow even if you are capable of doing it.

meh. It’s normal for the receiving team to be a decent deal unless the player has fallen off a cliff. The signing bonus paid (and amortized) stays with the original club so it becomes essentially a year to year deal below market value. The bills giving up the guy for a higher cap hit is the real challenge

meh. The guy has a long history of asking for the attention they have given. Short of a refusal to cover diggs, how is the media supposed to tell his story without that context? That feels like it would be much more of a media driven narrative creation

that you’ve curated a hyper bills focused media bubble doesnt make this big news and that his sketchy answers and behavior are being acknowledged doesn’t mean they are creating a narrative out of thin air

yea, but diggs is not you. And he is not only doing it in the fly. He’s no showing events, he’s posting on social media. It’s a persona he’s intentionally curated.

ready: he has control in the contract he signed his contract keeps him here “I’m ready to go get a championship for the bills this year.”
