Yes, I watched us get shut down most of the play offs, I’d like us to raise our game to handle pressure better.

Well it’s on film you can always go review it, if you can’t admit it was a contributing factor then there isn’t much to talk about, doesn’t matter how many times or what reasons you use to deny it.

He also dropped a very important pass that sealed our loss…

If you don’t think we need better offensive lineman after the last 4 games against quality defenses, this discussion isn’t going anywhere. 16 pts total after multiple drive starts inside the opponent’s 40 ridiculous. Unable to protect your qb in AFCCG unacceptable. This isn’t a one game occurrence. And we lost to Houston the year before. Making it to a AFCCG does not mean you will make it the next year. This team needs an improved O-line and an impact player on defense.

Maybe, I’ll re look…ha, didn’t see the word other LOL…

Except Tampa’s defense won them the game last Super Bowl and being able to generate pressure in Qb’s still is the best way to disrupt an offense.

You can stay in your fantasy world, but this team has played relatively the same for the last 4 games all against very good defenses. What ever they did to improve had little effect. We’ll see where we stand after week 17, I would venture to say KC will still give us fits, as well as any team with a good aggressive D that can pressure without blitzing.

Probably not, but flaws certainly can be exposed…

Was gonna say, Stafford has no issues with the long ball..,

No he was pretty good, more than just short passes. Belicheck has built a wall in front of him and he has two good tight ends. He is totally set up to succeed. I wish Beane would build a line like that for Josh, he would be unstoppable.

Do you think they were exhausted? I have to admit I did not pay much attention to the rotation. Or could they not keep up the intensity they showed in the first half.. Cleveland certainly faded in the second half today…

Didn’t know that having a discussion in a forum could solve a professional sports teams deficiencies, thanks for clearing that up👍 It’s all sunshine and candy going forward…

First half yes, 2nd half not so much…

He no longer can throw accurately down field, we’ll documented last year. Folds under pressure can’t or doesn’t want to take the hits anymore. You obviously haven’t been paying attention as of late. Teams that can pressure him beat him…

Inexcusable to be exact. Not sure he’s above average, too many head scratchers to be honest. Not the first game he’s fallen on his face….

He has a dead arm, he’s mostly imobile if we could have generated any pressure on him in the second half it would have been a different game. My d line standard expects a line to be able to pressure a statue playing on the road with two rookies on the line.

If you can’t see the issues that weren’t fixed from last years team what can I say. I’m sure we will pick off the low hanging fruit, why wouldn’t we? But the last 5 teams we played have handled this offense each better than the previous, if your happy about that good for you.

Pretty good? First half maybe, couldn’t get a stop in the second half against an oline with two rookies and an old broken down Qb. You should understand what a dominant running game can do for your qb. If you are happy with what our D did today, enjoy your low expectations. Watching the Pats oline give a rookie Qb starting his first game all the time he needs is giving him confidence and the ability to succeed. Our lines will be the downfall of this team along with a OC who thinks he’s way to cute for his own good.

Go watch the first half of Cleveland vs KC and comeback and tell us how you feel about this team? We did nothing different than last year which looked inadequate once we got into the playoffs. Tell us all how we have improved this year?

As a coach don’t make your day so hard with stupid decisions. That cuts both ways. The play calling and the execution was not good enough, this team in all areas was not prepared to do its job today… Who’s fault is that?

Couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t want to overreact, but after watching the first half of Cleveland KC, we are in no better shape to get to the SB than last year, we treaded water, got a year older. How disappointing. This team is not set up fir a Super Biwl run. Good defenses or bad weather Or Daboll can shut this offense down at will. And our defense isn’t good enough to control or win a game on a regular basis. Oh we’ll have our occasional offensive blow out against teams that can’t execute a 4 man rush, but that’s about it… Sad realization…

Then punt, or establish a gd running game…

It’s more than obvious now, having an average at best oline is not going to cut it. We need to give Allen better or we are not going anywhere. We also need at least one impact player on D fense. It’s going to be disappointing if we keep going down this route…

Just watched Cleveland run one for 10 yards. Crazy to think we don’t run one a game..

I saw get horribly held on the interception play, didn’t notice him after that…
