Agree with everything you said above, but I also think we don't have to outcoach them but closing the gap could be the difference. That is the thing though, every year we have excuses even if they are legitimate ones. Hoping we don't look back at Allen's career in the league and think, what a shame.

So has the scheme been fine in the playoffs against the Chiefs? The Chiefs have turned this defense inside out 4 times now in the playoffs. Was it aggressive with 13 seconds left? We need quality defenders, I get it but why has the defense been toast every year in the playoffs when it matters most? It hasn't been the offense letting us down it's the defense, no matter who we had on the field.

The sceme we run now is highly zone, I think it will be beneficial to play more man to man. Though we might need new players at a corner spot and safety spot IMO. We also have to become more aggressive getting after the QB and a young DE and Dt could be beneficial in the draft. I'm hoping Solomon turns into at least a good situational pass rusher. I don't like how the defense seems to sit back and let offenses dictate the game, hoping these new assistant coaches can inject some aggressive eas into the scheme. There that better *****? Also like to stay up in coverage not 6-8 yards off the receivers allowing them to get into their breaks and routes easy.

The good and very good QBs slice it up very, very, often and every year in the playoffs. There answered for him IMo I should add. I do like the fact the Assistant coordinator or whatever the title is runs a lot more man defense.

I wish they'd change the scheme, it has cost us in every playoff loss, so sick of seeing receivers running wide open in a zone.

Brady needs to call better plays no doubt, but our defense has ***** the bed Everytime we've played the Chiefs, the Bengals game, and the Texans game. The defensive scheme unfortunately has so many holes in it and nothing is going to change because it's McDermotts scheme, wish they'd change it up a bit it's the same thing repeatedly in the playoffs. Comeon Coleman is like 21 years old no way in hell he's out of the league in three years barring illness or injury, get a grip.

Difference is it would have been tied and we had 133 left with 2 timeouts. Reid and Spagnola give us a coaching master class every year in the playoffs and amazingly do it every year winning by 7 or less.

Outcoached every year we play them in the playoffs, Brady the last two weeks Mr. Conservative. Almost bit us last week this week it did.

Yeah don't have the time or need to rewatch every throw but my statement still rings through accuracy issues do not turn around much at all like his did. Whatever the problem in the mechanics were or are from now on, he corrected his issue which is an oddity!

Yeah I know but it all the years I've watched football I haven't seen many guys improve their accuracy like he has.

Exact same opinion I had, mechanics are so hard to change. So happy a lot of us were wrong.

When Mahomes and Burrows has slice and diced the defensive backfield in the playoffs it has some correlation even if the players are different.

Very true however, it shows the defensive schemes vulnerabilities when a QB is on, remember the big playoff games?

Everyone has different opinions on players, may be able to pick up some very good picks with that 1st and you have the first player if you don't trade back.

I been wishing since McDermott arrived he played a more aggressive defense, that isn't happening. If our defense was aggressive and we got beat in the playoffs I would find it easier to accept. We sit back on our heels and play zone and let the offense dictate everything and just pick our zone apart. Disclaimer though I'm not so sure we have the players to play aggressively, but it would be nice to see for Once against an elite QB.
