Rice is a true #1. Not one of the elites but a legit WR. That was not an easy catch, it was a bit behind him and he had to contort to ***** it out of the air.

#25 is right there and can't make a play on the ball

Andy Reid is so good man. He's the master of leaking someone out wide open

Sure it does. Very worst case scenario is you're down by 1 the next time you get the ball. So many teams chase points too early and then lose the game by the number of points they surrendered.

Yeah I agree with kicking there. KC's defensive coaching is too good to play with fire.

McDuffie in hell today

Mahomes has not been very good over the last month.

Damn now they're going to be behind in the field position battle until KC scores

He's clueless. Worthy needs to run through his guy, not into him. As soon as he stopped running his route it was clear OPI.

Jaden Hicks got juked out of his shoes

McDuffie is in hell in this half. Too bad Dak keeps killing them

Dumb play from #0. Your only job is don't let the QB past you and you stupidly rush upfield right into the center

It started last week against Indy and was very successful. They can't score 50 yard rushing TDs or anything like that but they're consistently picking up 5+ yards.

Kind of scary that KC suddenly found a run game

McDuffie is overrated IMO. He struggles with bigger WRs.

KC coaching on both sides is just ridiculous

Green Bay was just as aggressive as Detroit on 4th down decisions in this game. Arguably moreso with that last play. The only difference is they converted all of theirs.

Christian Watson singlehandedly tried to give the Lions life. Stupidly goes out of bounds on the last 3rd down and then drops a pass that could have ended the game.

Yeah they basically put themselves in a position where they needed to get a 3 and out or the game is over.

Detroit is playing with zero urgency, I have no clue what the plan is here. They trust their defense to get a quick stop?

The thought is you need to score a TD and then hold Green Bay to a FG at best. Then you get the ball back down 6 and right back in it. Getting to down by 7 and then kicking off doesn't help when their offense has had its way with you all day.

I think Campbell has crossed the line this year and should have taken the FG on the earlier 4th down, but this one going for it was automatic IMO. They haven't stopped Green Bay all night and are running out of time.

Steelers 26 Bills 17 I don't have a good feeling about this one. Dawkins and Brown are both likely out. Palmer is trending in the wrong direction. Kincaid may be back but probably not fully healthy. So what is the plan on offense facing off against TJ Watt and a great DL? Pittsburgh will do the same thing every team does - sell out to stop the run and dare our putrid WRs to get open fast enough before their DL gets home. Their secondary is their weak spot but can we really take advantage of that? Color me skeptical. The defense I expect to do its usual performance where they never make any big plays but they make a couple stops in the 2nd half. 42 year old Aaron Rodgers won't be punished for his total lack of mobility as he is given plenty of time to stand tall in the pocket and find openings against our zone. McDermott in his post game presser will crow about how well his unit battled while lamenting the offense's inability to sustain drives, continuing to set the stage for Brady as the sacrificial lamb after the season. Ultimately I've completely lost faith in this group. Go out and prove me wrong.

Ah yes, renowned NFL insider Dick Johnson.

Yes. The mistake they made is they decided the goal is to have 8 possessions and score TDs on 50% of them. The league average is less than 25% of drives turn into TDs so we intentionally set the margin for error impossibly low. With the best player in the league at QB, the proper goal should be score 40 PPG and screw the down to down efficiency. The Tampa Bay win may not have been "efficient" or "complementary" QB play but you look up and all of a sudden Allen has 6 TDs. That should be the game script that you build the team around. The offense doesn't need to complement anything, it needs to run up the score and make the other two phases practically irrelevant. Especially under current management when you can never rely on the other two phases to lead the way in big games. McDermott made the mistake of betting on his process instead of betting on his unicorn, and he unfortunately dragged Beane down the same path.
