Blank Stare

If I’m Manning, I move on for one more big pay day for another franchise. Not as good as he was, but he can still win in the right situation with a solid supporting cast. I’d cash in on another 2 year deal if I was him. This is the greatest time to be playing QB with some of this funny money thrown around for the position and supply and demand. But he’s got enough money I guess.

Schefter is part of the gullible media hype machine. Another cheats mouthpiece.

Not that it’s any surprise but Schefter just said both Juju and Connor eyeing return Sunday. They know what time it is. Exactly. Don’t think the Jets won’t be out to ruin our season if it comes down to that game. We did it to them a few years back when Fitz was there and division games are always unpredictable.

Agreed. They HAVE to know this. The key to the game is our offense vs. their defense. I’m fully confident in our defense against Hodges. If our offense is not up to the challenge, it will be a long night.

How Belichickian of them. Can’t say he wasn’t “Doing his job”.

Not a shot at you Yolo, but shocking! Knew he would be back for this one. I bet Conner too. Steelers know they need this game. Honestly, I fully trust our defense. It’s our offense vs. their defense that will determine this game. And you can bet they’ll be sending the house at Allen.

Then where would our customary false starts or holdings come from? It’s hard to replace what Lee Smith brings to this offense.

Gore is no world beater, but should be active. He’s a reliable, steady presence if we get a lead. It’s Senorise Perry that should be sat down. Yeldon offers more to the offense. I refuse to think he also can’t run down the dang field to make a special teams tackle or watch them fair catch. But, a thumper, bruising back should be on our off season wish list. A compliment to motor would go a long way.

Tomlin is doing a helluva job this year. Maybe his finest yet. But if we can’t beat a team led by devlin Hodges with this defense, I’ll have serious questions about our playoff legitimacy. Yes, they are at home with a great defense, but you have to figure out a way to get this done. Play like it means something.

Very classy. Even if he trashed us in that presser, I’ve always thought Harbaugh was one of the best coaches in the league. Guy gets his team ready to go.

What’s LeGarette Blount up to these days?

Juju and Conner prob back for this one. They know how important it is. Stop the run and make Hodges look ordinary.

Man, what could’ve been. Come on AJ Green!

That wasn’t always the case. Look the offensive line and Daboll did him no favors today, but some of it was on him. Also, he DID force the ball on a couple throws that could’ve been picked. I can think of one in particular in the first half where he was rolling right and nearly sacked and threw a floater that could’ve easily been picked. Just throw it away and move on. This game was a regression for him and he needs to be better. I don’t disagree. The offense sucked collectively today. But this thread was about grading Allen. He needs to be better. He was reverting to some old bad habits. Doesn’t mean he won’t be better next week. This experience is great for him and the entire team, but this is big boy football this time of year. Have to step up.

Yes.

Ridiculous how they continue to block punts.

We need a bruiser this offseason to be a perfect compliment to him. Gore ain’t it.

The sacks in plus territory to start. Throw the dang ball into the bleachers. A number of times this year he’s knocked us out of FG range with that stuff or made the down and distance impossible (like the 4th down PI on Cole Beasley today that didn’t have to be 4th and a mile). That stuff is inexcusable at any level. Have to get rid of it and live to play another down or it’s points off the board.

I realize that, but this was a pretty steep regression. Vintage rookie year josh. He hasn’t shown that since the Cheats game. But this might be the best defense he’s played since then. He hung in and battled, but still made some inexcusable mistakes. Like I said, I’m still with him. Just disappointing. That first half against the Cheats was worse. Had like 2-3 picks. Did zilch on offense.

I’d really thought/hoped/prayed that Josh had turned a corner after that Dallas game toward becoming the guy. Of course he’s still learning and I’m not ready to write him off or anything. He just regressed pretty badly this week. Here’s hoping he shakes it off. That’s one thing he’s shown capable of doing. Besides, it’s the Bills. When have they ever made anything easy on us.

McD will still dress special teams dynamo sinorice Perry. Guy constantly over does it with special teams at the expense of the offense. One or both of Julian Stanford and Sinorice Perry should be inactive to help the offense with guys like Yeldon, Duke, or Sweeney. You’re telling me Yeldon wouldn’t have helped underneath catching short passes today on those cover 0 blitzes? He did great against NE in that role. Or maybe Duke gets you a physical catch today against a physical defense that bullied our diminutive receivers. Sweeney can’t be worse than Kroft. Guy is invisible.

Anyone else sick of hearing people call this guy Duck Hodges? We’ve got a whole week of that coming up. Ughhh. Awful nickname. Media is so simple.

This will continue next week too I’d bet. Cheats did it to him too. Until he adjusts, the teams with firepower on D will continue to test him.

I’m pretty ticked off at how we played today, but if we can pick up 2 more wins this year that would be incredible. If you told me at the start of the year we’d be 11-5, I’d have “Kool-aid man’d” it right through a brick wall in excitement.

Go Chiefs!
