the rotation is too much for me. Pay the top guys the most and play them the most. This communist approach to d line is ridiculous. Other teams don’t invest this much in 8 guys on game days. It’s also not working. Never get stops when we need. Shouldn’t these fresh guys be dominating at end of game. It’s a myth. Kingsley Jonathon is just fine as a reserve DE for 10-15 snaps a game. Play your best players as often as you can.

This is exactly the problem.

Haha. I know. People will rage. but after WR in round 1 I can almost justify it.

You pleased with james cook? if you knew now what you know aboit AJ would you have drafted him 4 years ago in second round?

Boogie Basham, Cody Ford, Aj Epenesa, James Cook.

Also true.

Epenesa was brutal for 3 seasons. 0 contributions. He’s a miss. Sorry. boogie basham is a miss, ford colossal miss. Elam is a disaster. james cook in round 2? all the other assets invested in RB in rounds 3? he’s neglecting significant areas of roster for the same mistakes. Or resign Floyd. DE and DT are a need going forward.

Giving that deal the year after drafting GR50 and Boogie back to back while AJ was floundering just felt like they had no plan or hope those guys would get it.

He overpaid to get him here for sure. It backfired. Tough to manage around now.

Never said that but excellent try. He had more misses than hits in first 3 rounds. Very few “GEMS” in later rounds. It’s fair to criticize.

I agree. He’s hitting it lower and it’s moving left to right. When he is in a groove it was high and fading it in. not sure how to get his confidence back

I get it. But it’s fair to question the recklessness of the deal just to get him given his age. Beane blew every other team away with the money and that’s why he came here. We are paying for it now.

Hyde and Poyer what? what about them? bernard is a good player but let’s not act like he is all pro

He’s been bad. Really bad. cap situation is a disaster, multiple day two picks are wasted and we are left with aging players at positions now costing us games. he hit on Allen, made a nice trade for 14. what else?

He’s mentally screwed and I’m afraid we have seen his best. he’s become a middle of the road kicker.

Was this game ever in the balance?

That tackle will be banned next season

I do watch games. All of them. Have you been watching? Have you noticed Greg Rousseau the past month? He had two sacks against Miami and nothing for five weeks after. Same disappearing act as last year. Phillips 3.5 sacks is .5 more than Rousseau while missing 3 games to Rousseau's one. He also has a sack in each of the last three weeks. Do you want me to keep going? Do you watch games or are you just looking at total season stats?

McDermott was never going to change his philosophy and give up the reigns to his defense to Schwartz

He's another example of Beane not hitting on his first or second round picks. That same year Miami took Jaelen Phillips. His impact is much greater. I dont know the issue overall but there are too many DEs on this roster making a lot of money to not impact the QB more. Last night was a perfect example. The fact we are having to blitz as often as we are says alot about where this group is at.

Im sure he does. I also think Brandon Beane needs a talent evaluator guru so we stop missing on 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks year after.

This punt gave me flashbacks to Shawn Powell on Thursday Night Football against the Browns back when EJ was QB and was hurt during the game. Line drive 40 yard in air punt right down the middle of the field. Needed something to flip the field and he we get that. Hilarious to watch core special team players whiff or not even come close to the guy. Whats Matt Araiza doing?

Your kidding right

To me what this game comes down to is what defensive lineman want to step up and consistently win one on one matchups against replacement level offensive linemen. They are down three starters. The drop off to those guys looks significant in a few cases especially. I do not want have to get so reliant on Milano and Edmunds blitzing to get pressure and let Chase and Higgins have their shots 1 on 1 downfield. There is a lot of money and draft capital invested in this DL even without Von. I see teams with much less impact games more consistently than this current group. Time to have their best game of the season.

Because the bills and bengals played the same number of games and we had a better record. Not the case with KC
