I finally wore my Josh Allen jersey for the first time this year. Then he went 23/26. That is a pretty obvious causal link.

I think it is the opposite. I don’t think the dolphins would deal with us. Stinks, because I wanted Phillips or Chubb.

You’re saying we can’t squeeze in his $100 million contract? Who knew?!

AJE also basically slammed him down once, landing on his shoulder with all his weight. I thought that would be a possible separated shoulder and a roughing call for sure.

Agree, especially that last part. He sniffed something out, which is generally a good thing.

I think he thought it was a screen? The oline sort of shifted like it was.

I have to say it was fun seeing CEH out there. That dude is terrible!

perfectly said!

the chiefs strength is their outside CBs. I think it was smart to be going away from them.

Agreed. But I think they had a ton of success on first down. Chiefs definitely stiffened up in the second half and we did get into second and long a few times. But more often than not, we were getting 3-5 yards on 1st down. I think there is a direct correlation between that commitment to the run and Josh ending up with basically 2-3 incompletions all game.

I will defend Brady a little bit here. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to stick to the run like that. Maybe they could have mixed up their running plays. But the commitment to the run was impressive. Allowed us to control the clock, and get us in 3rd and manageable.

“Thank you— but we insist!”

Anyone else think the chiefs jumped Offside on our missed FG?

I have never seen a player look more lost. Felt bad for Elam.

I think Calais wouldn’t do it. Wanted to head his career where it started. But I agree about him being a great fit— what an amazing player! I am thinking Jalen Phillips from the dolphins, if they would trade with us.

it’s injuries. Can’t trot AJ Klein and Kair Elam out there in the AFCCG.

he has really struggled in coverage this year. Don’t get it.

Wonder if the dolphins would trade with us. Phillips or Chubb should be on the market.

Would love if someone used this thread to dissect what happened on that play. I have heard various theories.

like what? (Asking genuinely).

Somebody needs to get McD credit. He thoroughly outcoached Reid, the offensive genius. And he did so with a lineup without many of its best players.

I thought that was the long 3rd down conversion where he got picked? That happened on the 4th down too?

Brady really helped him out. Was hoping he would call a game with some quick, easy throws. Got him into a rhythm. And Josh forced nothing.

Can someone explain what happened on the 4th and 17 play? The coverage looked, ummm, a little suspect,

I am always surprised at these Achilles injuries by pro athletes. Maybe it’s because I am an old man athlete now and have learned things the hard way, but I probably spend 20 minutes every night just stretching my Achilles, and then do 20 minutes more of that Achilles stretching before I play hoops (which I do 3-4 times per week). And on top of that, I wear Achilles braces while playing all sports, including sports as low impact as pickleball and golf.
