I’m slightly curious what the numbers look like in the playoffs. I FEEL like the absolute number of calls decline.
this could be because the teams learn throughout the season what they can get away with OR the nfl simply adopts a more let them play stance in the playoffs; or a combination of both.
I still feel like a team playing man the whole year gains an advantage during the playoffs where man coverage gives the defense more options.
the chiefs have thrived (especially in the playoffs) regardless of their rank in dpi and dh since spags.
Constantly dinged up and never creates turnovers. solid, but as you say overrated.
we need 2-3 IMPACT players on defense. If Rasul isn’t impact I don’t know what is.
I hope the bills switch to man coverage. Zone defense isn’t as effective as man in the playoffs where they don’t call penalties. A team that’s been playing man gains a huge advantage.
McDermott’s defense collapses in the playoffs rather than gets better probably because they run zone all year.
I wonder if this was a case of beane self congratulating for drafting a project player.
I.e., “hey look I drafted a top 5 TE in the third round. he has to be top 5, look at his salary.”
I watched until the niners punted after intercepting mahomes to start the second half. The game was over for them at that point imo.
every team the chiefs played in the playoffs completely or partially folded against them. I guess that’s another way of saying they have superior coaching 🤷♂️.
