I usually push back against the analytics. But I actually liked Staley going for it both times. Chargers are moving the ball. KC D not really playing well. And you know KC is going to score points.
on both 4th down misses, it was sort of bad luck. Parham concussion, and then the tipped pass.
If you took all the strengths of Moss, Singletary, and Breida (without their weaknesses) and combined them together in a single person, you would basically get Austin Ekeler.
Agree. It’s more style points than anything. Josh and Mahomes have a little more playground and improv to them. They are as effective as Herbert, but it just looks a bit more herky jerky.
Buck is like, “I would never speculate, but let me speculate: he is shaking because he is cold.” A simple google search reflects what Parham was doing.
this is a great point. There is something beneficial from a psychological standpoint to get early points, get a lead, feel good after the first drive, etc., which can’t be quantified.
it’s the classic “take what the defense gives them.” Staley plays that cover 2 shell all game. He is the self-proclaimed pioneer of it. Chiefs just diced them apart on a bunch of 5-8 yard passes.
i do think having him focus on WR will be better for the team.
But if he is out there, shouldn’t he get the ball? I don’t think he was targeted once or had one jet sweep or touch against the Bucs.
I think this game we need to take care of the ball, get points when we can, and let our defense cook.
The panthers are solid on D. I think when they get into trouble is when they turn the ball over on O a lot. Would like to see us play smart.
