It wasn’t the offense that prevented us from beating the Chiefs. We averaged close to 30 all year and Josh loves Brady’s play calling. Our defense didn’t play well and the Chiefs got 30 once all season in regulation. The Texans defense dominated their offense. We were supposedly rebuilding with a shuffled O line and without a #1 or #2 receiver. Winning 13 and 2 playoff games in his first full season is not grounds for bringing in a guy who crashed and burned for 2 teams calling plays.

That’s right, demoralize Josh to turn our offense into the Jags who couldn’t win in a weak division and fired Doug’s ass. No thanks

We need a legitimate edge rusher who gets consistent pressure and 10 plus sacks. We need a physical FA safety and a ball hawk corner. The offense is good enough to win a championship.

If Elam is back he’s just wasting a roster spot. Hamlin and Rapp are depth players and Bishop is still raw. We don’t need all three so Damar is odd man out. Douglas is a free agent and he’s history. The secondary hasn’t been good enough so it’s time to start again. A free agent corner and some quality high round defensive backs will probably do the trick.

Some of your points are well taken especially that we shouldn’t use the cap as an excuse not to take a big swing. First big decision is extending Rousseau. He showed growth and production in the regular season. Problem is he’ll want top 10 average per season, and he got stuffed against KC. I guess you need to get to the post season before thinking about KC. Miller, must leave immediately. Crosby loves Josh and seems like a perfect fit. If Carter and Smoot make strides along side Oliver, and we could add a Crosby, it might be enough. Beane would be reluctant to give up a first and you know Pete Carroll, would play hardball to trade his best player.

Bills didn’t play well, but well enough to win. The coaching staff was inept on goal line play calls and went for 2 too early. The decision to throw on 3rd down to Cooper with a screen made no sense and the protection on the fourth down play was a killer. Other than those three things, they could have won. I’m not mentioning the blown call for a 1st down when they never measured and and placed the ball way behind where the linesman came in. What’s the difference, these games comes down to one or two plays.

I never complained about officiating because usually the calls even out, but that phantom review of the 4th down QB push was a call that showed a linesman, with the best view of the ball, came forward way ahead of the line to gain. The ball was placed before where the lineman ran in, but still should have resulted in a 1st if they measured. They never did and turned the ball over to KC. Why can a tennis ball, traveling 90mph be spotted electronically and we rely on 70yr old freezing men, 20 yds away,placing a football buried under 8 huge players, that could determine the outcome of the game. The justification for the call is that ball placements almost never get changed. The NFL is in bed with sports betting and calls like these are the easiest way to get a result.

Nice analysis, agree with all your ratings. Rousseau is a tough one because he’s a a useful player, but with Beane’s incompetent apology we’re always behind the 8ball for acquisitions. Everything has to be done through the draft and on the cheap. It will be tough.

As long as you’re being sarcastic about my exaggeration, I’m good.

Once in regulation and why are you trying to say our defense played well. What’s the point you’re trying to make?

Still should have made that play. He had plenty of chances this year with minimal production. If he’s hurt, don’t play.

I ‘m sorry, I should have said once all season in regulation. You get the point. BTW there’s medication for your problem.

That’s a nonsensical take because he doesn’t call his own plays and on short yardage plays that turned the game, QB sneaks to the left was unsuccessful 4 times. Josh pulled 29 pts out of his rear end without a #1 or #2 receiver and Kincaid dropped a catchable ball to tie or win the game. KC never scored 30 all season until yesterday. Josh had 2TDs with a 105 passer rating and no TOs. The defense let KC march down the field for 2 scores on their last 2 possessions for 11 points after we took the lead 22-21, but Josh chocked according to dayman.

My prediction is the brain trust writes this latest soul crushing loss off as the untimely loss of Benford and Rapp compromising the back end. The problem is Rapp is injured often and Douglas is a FA. Our depth in the secondary is not worthy of a championship team. Hamlin should be a backup and an important decision has to be made on extending Rousseau. I know this team was thought to be in a rebuild after losing our #1and 2 receivers and rearranging the O-line with an OC in his first full season, but now the defense needs major changes after potentially losing 4 or 5 starters(Miller, Rousseau, Douglas, Jones, Hamlin) Beane’s perennial salary cap issues requires bold and creative personnel moves. I like Sean and his record speaks for itself. It may be time though to consider a different vision for our team’s direction. There’s a feeling that a HC voice stops being effective at about 10 years. I think the biggest mistake someone can make is thinking that doing the same things unsuccessfully will somehow reap rewards next time. Thats what we are going through.

Brandon has been building a roster to beat the Chiefs for 5 years. Sadly these postseason losses look eerily similar. No answer for Mahomes when undersized D-lineman keep giving up the edge and little pressure from our front four. We are able to score because our offense is hard to defend but our secondary is pedestrian and lets us down every time. Why is Elam here? Bishop is not physical enough and hurts us when he plays. Hamlin is a good story but he’s been ordinary. Sean is loyal to a fault and between Beane's defensive personnel decisions and our defensive game planning, I’m starting to doubt whether we can get past the Chiefs or an Eagles team that would have dominated our defense.

Greg got cut by the tackle on every 3rd down passing play and was giving the edge. He killed us and had no pressure. Might be a problem making a long term commitment to him.

Poor Dalton is too soft for winning football. He should have caught the ball to save that game and like on many occasions he shrinks in big spots. We thought he was a difference maker but he doesn’t want it bad enough. Shakir, Collin’s, Cook and Ty Johnson are dependable, winning players. He may develop into something, but he was a disappointment this year. He wasn’t worth a first round selection.

If they’re able to limit Kelce for the first time in 4 games, it will go a long way to winning. I don’t think Mahomes trusts Brown, Smith-Shuster or even DHop downfield when he starts running around. Look at how many receptions the other receivers had against Houston.

The most important aspect of game planning for a talented defensive unit is being unpredictable. My prediction is we start out establishing the short underneath passing game and then incorporate Cook, Ty on 3rd down and Josh with designed runs. This game demands Josh being a threat to break the pocket to force spies and people to account for him. Josh must take vertical shots also to keep a safety protecting deep. This game will come down to special teams, turnovers and limiting Mahomes running and Kelce on broken plays.

When your strength is creating TOs and you understand turnovers decide these games, naturally the expectation is to win the turnover battle. This defense held Henry to 86 yards and 16 carries and Lamar to 6 carries. That’s what the Ravens do best. They were victimized by an MVP QB who runs around to allow a receiver to come open and they did that to all their opponents this season. The incredible defense in the first half won us the game.

Sounds like a guy who doesn’t watch the games much. How many receivers and backs does he chase down. He’s the most physical corner we have and has a nose for the ball. Did you see how much time Lamar had to throw in the second half? That’s why his no name receiver came open on their last drive. Andrews like Kelce find little open areas and Lamar just runs around until they come open. We’re not playing for the AFC Championship without Johnson. Who’s next on your “major liability list” Shakir?
