It isn't. The Kincaid miss was not a mistake by Josh. Bad timing caused by Kincaid stopping for too long. Anyways this game was always going to have to be a defensive win. Do people realize we have no outside WRs today?? Letting the Colts march down the field with no resistance on two consecutive drives is completely inexcusable.

We don't have a championship defensive line. Not even close. No excuse for letting Flacco stay comfortable in the pocket when Indy is now down three starting OL

I sincerely think every single person on this board is misinterpreting that throw. It was not about ball placement. Looks like a stop and go that Allen throws because of the blitz. That is a timing route. Appeared to me that Kincaid's stop lasted a tick longer than anticipated.

Stop me if you've heard this one before - our opponent is missing two starting IOL and we still get no interior pressure. Our DTs stink from top to bottom

Yeah that is a timing throw, not a ball placement throw

Sigh the timing was off, Kincaid was sitting still flat footed and had to get running again to try and get there

No more RB screens. They literally never work

You think so? Looks to me like Hamlin is responsible for that lane but gets too far upfield and creates an easy edge for JT to get around:

Hamlin pressed the line way too much there. He needs to get horizontal and take away the angle

I guess but we are basically playing without outside WRs

Not really a fan of the play calling there but there isn't much Brady can do in this one... Take points when we can get them and the defense needs to dominate. That's the recipe today. Offensive TDs will be hard to come by.

Yeah we aren't gonna have any kind of vertical passing offense today so we will have to keep grinding out drives like this

Great power from Cook!!

Oh Flacco is BAD bad

I know it's easier said than done but Epenesa just needs to stay under control and grab that ball. Inexcusable to let it bounce away

Oh come on how does nobody jump on that

Yes Flacco really is THAT bad

Haha lmao

Ugh we can't be throwing away 1st downs when we're down our top 2 WRs

You’ll never guess who got the fine.

Sigh not looking good for Cooper to play. Maybe not Samuel either. We can get past Indy with this motley crue but hopefully Cooper at least is back for KC.

I don't know how much stock you put in PFF (frankly I don't know how much stock I put it in either). This season they have Rapp and Hamlin graded as 66.3 and 61.4. They have Reid and Cook graded as 66.2 and 59.2. I'm sure Reid and Cook are given more difficult assignments which puts their grades on a higher curve. Still it is not a stark difference IMO. Since safety and LB are devalued positions, there would need to be a massive talent gap there for me to give anything more than a slight advantage to either side. The post I responded to said the Chiefs defense is "much much more talented" than the Bills defense. I don't agree with that characterization. They have a 1 of 1 talent which gives them a distinct advantage automatically. Other than him I would say the rest of the units are of fairly even talent. If you took Chris Jones away and asked every defensive coach which roster they'd rather have I'm not sure either side would win in a rout. Spagnuolo's scheme is the other distinct advantage that they have IMO. His blitz packages have given our offense fits. I can't remember a time that we did the same to them.

Penalties that take TDs or 3rd down conversions off the board (or create 3rd down conversion) should be reviewable. That would be one simple way of removing the most frustrating calls without completely slowing the game down.

Meh. DT is the one spot I say they have a massive advantage, obviously. In my eyes EDGE is a wash, LB and safety I'll give them a slight advantage, CBs I would probably take our entire tandem over theirs but it's close. On the whole I'd say they have more talent if for no other reason than they have one Hall of Famer in his prime and we don't, but it's not "much much more talented." Where their defense really wins is with scheme. They're willing to play more man and Spagnuolo's blitz packages are for my money the best in the league.
