Overall, not a bad half of football. Offense was really solid for the most part. The defense on the other hand.....WOOF....... McDermott has to figure it out. To have all week, and to have played this team 6 times in recent years......to still not have a clue on how to defend Kelce, I just don't understand it. He's supposed to be this defensive genius, but can't take 1 guy out of the offense...... So frustrating.

VON!!!!!

Whelp......Way too much time on the clock. If they play a soft zone here and allow them to get free releases off the line, I'm going to lose it. Have 2 guys plow into Kelce at the snap. Don't even let him get into a route.

BOOM

Two TOs...... Tush push this twice and blow them off the ball!!!

COOK DROPPED ANOTHER FREAKING TD!!!!!

I know we're on offense, but this Kelce crap is killing me. How is there not 1 guy assigned to him man to man every down with a 2nd guy assigned to assist that guy on every play. He's literally the only guy that can beat you physically. So cover him and scheme up the rest.

If there was ever a time for a defensive TO, that was it. It was obvious something was wrong before the ball was snapped.

I said do something different with Kelce...... I didn't mean don't cover him at all.

They are not calling ANYTHING on the Chiefs...... The narrative of these refs coming into this game about them is proving to be true so far.

Need the offense to keep scoring. If we can get up a couple scores, it might help take Punkchecko out of the game.....

Nice stand...... But man, this defense needs to figure out how to cover Kelce. It should not be this hare when he's the focal point of their offense. Dodged a bullet a couple times there as guys were open. Offense might have to score 30+ to win tonight.

Kelce wide open again..... Whatever McDermott is trying to do is not working.

Can we please just double Kelce......and not with Klein.....

I hate using injuries as an excuse, but man.....we are beat up in the middle.

Defense has to keep the pressure on this drive. They had their chances on the last drive, but didn't finish. Come on D.....FINISH!!!

BOOM

We are definitely at a disadvantage at kicker. No way Bass makes that one. Nice play on 3rd down...... And, while he didn't get there, Von was a step away on that rush. He's going to get one......

Klein vacating his responsibility for no reason there. No reason that should have been a big play.

Points are good there, but man......we have to finish that drive with a TD. Big props to McDermott for going for it on 4th down. All night.

This game starting like crap

Ugh.....not the start we needed. Smart play by Kincaid, but that's potentially a drive killer.

Nothing more left to say. Just win. GO BILLS!!!

This was one of my thoughts going into the week. While I am not sure it should be our base defense for the game, I think we should up the pressure on Mahomes more than we have in the past. Honestly, outside of Kelce and Rice, I don't find their other pass catchers overly dangerous. Punkchecko is a worry for sure, but I think I am sending waves at Mahomes. I'm using simulated pressures and delayed blitzes at times. Send the initial rush, use a spy that can convert to a rusher anytime he sees Mahomes trying to escape the pocket. My hope is that by sending the waves is that even if they hand it off, the 2nd wave will be able to stop the run. Limit Mahomes movement in the pocket. He will turn his back towards the defense today looking for a way to escape. He does it all the time. Make him pay. In the past, you didn't want to send extra pressure because you feared getting beat down the field with Hill. He's not there anymore. Trust your CBs to lock up the outside WRs for 4 seconds while bracketing Kelce and make sure you get home. Again, not doing this every down necessarily, but there are definitely situations in longer down and distances to do it.

Man, listening to all these talking heads, we may as well not even play this game tomorrow. They have already crowned the Ravens Champs.
