Zac Taylor also made a comment regarding the ticket situation, which I found incredibly ridiculous from a coach. The motivation part doesn’t bother me. I can take a good joke, but when using something for motivation there needs be some truth to the slight.

Good point, legalized scalping really damaged home field advantage in the playoffs. It’s too tempting for some folks not to take a decent sum of easy cash.

Getting the band back together was a desperate attempt to cover holes the front office created. I didn’t have much to say about it at the time, because fans are attached to those guys. How many Super Bowl contenders sign guys off the street just before the postseason, needing them to become major contributors.

I feel the same. The Chiefs loss was brutal last season. I didn’t even want to watch football for the remaining playoffs. This feels emotionally easier because I’m not shocked by the loss, but I’m more concerned about our ability to win a title. I thought we lost from a fluke/coaching blunder last season, but truly believed we win the title otherwise. I’m no longer certain what this team is. The entire 2022 regular season felt like a formality before making up for 13 seconds in the 2022/2023 playoffs, and it ends in the divisional round.

Sure, but SF played it perfectly by just having a D lineman truck him. Asking Elliot to block someone while having big guys converge from the edges is asking guys to do things they don’t usually do. I found it hilarious, and I needed that tonight 😆

Strange McCarthy couldn’t envision that with a running back under center.

Elliot as center was awesome, greats stuff.

Good to see McCarthy has extensive play calls for last ditch efforts in a losing game.

This Dalton Schultz guy is terrible. He’s fortunate he’s got a great Cowboy name.

I didn’t like that Shanahan screen pass. It’s basically an extended run, why risk stopping the clock with a potential dropped pass?

I don’t fully blame McD, because deferring the coin toss is the call in today’s analytics driven league. I do agree that it wouldn’t have been a bad move. There’s times when offensive driven teams should take the ball first. Gaining momentum with a first drive score can be huge in these games, but it doesn’t seem to be valued.

I’m not convinced we would have used him properly anyway.

Beane made too many luxury picks on DL. I’m not just referring to multiple picks at the same position, but also drafting guys who are projects that take time. Those are picks you make with a Lombardi Trophy, not while trying to take the next step.

That’s fair, I didn’t like the matchup, but I’m still feeling somewhat unreasonable because I didn’t expect a blowout. It happens too much at home during the McD years.

I’d like to know how much of the draft falls on Beane vs McD, because the drafts have been bad.

I do question some things about McD, but what has Beane done in the draft besides drafting Allen? The homegrown talent on defense and offense is questionable.

I really like McD, but I’m starting think this team needs a disciplinarian style coach. We need someone who can get things under control. Their team too often looks like a train going off the rails.

KC, The Who Dey stuff is annoying.

McD has changed this franchise around, let’s not forget, but this is a continuation of a trend. A trend where his teams get blown out at home. It’s been happening since he arrived, and it’s a problem.

Wonder if Poyer is going cry they aren’t soft.

This Cincy fan/team us against the world stuff is annoying. They were in the Super Bowl last year, come on.

Milano is the only keeper on defense. Anyone else is replaceable.

Sounds right. Seems like they’re struggling with the pass game, you’d think it would have been the perfect time to incorporate Allen’s running.

Why doesn’t Allen run in the playoffs?

Cool another third and long deep pass’s
