  1. Kansas City choked, but credit to the Bengals for capitalizing on the opportunity. The Rams CHOKED last week, but the Buccaneers still lost. Burrow is mentally tough. Stafford and Jimmy are soft. Think Cincy gets it done.
  2. I don’t think he’s saying Mahomes was mocking Josh. He’s saying he thinks it’s funny to call Pat ratface.
  3. Tip of the hat to Butker for making the 48 yard kick just as the script dictated. Guy’s a hell of an actor.
  4. They’re going to beat him back to back years?
  5. So I just watched each KC snap from the first half of last year’s game just to make sure I had my facts straight. White played man on Hill exactly one play. It was the third play of the game, third down. Hill smoked him on a deep post. Mahomes threw a strike, and Hill dropped it. I don’t think they went back to that matchup even once I the second half, but if they did it wasn’t very often.
  6. So that whole part about the offense dictating where the ball goes applies to Sneed when he doesn’t shadow a specific WR but it doesn’t apply to White even though he plays primarily zone and I certainly didn’t see him travel with Hill last year. I think I see how this works. I’ll just agree to disagree.
  7. So then is Tre your #1? He’s primarily a zone CB, so anything that’s true about Sneed not dictating who he covers would apply moreso to White, right?
  8. I don’t know. He does a little bit of everything, and that’s what Spags likes in a DB. I do know that he lined up opposite Diggs on the boundary every play before Mathieu’s injury, and he mostly followed Diggs around the field in the AFCCG last year. I guess I don’t understand the rationale behind saying a guy can’t be your #1 CB unless he plays at the boundary a certain percentage of the time. It’s like saying Kupp isn’t a #1 WR because he lines up in the slot.
  9. I just said that Sneed moved to the slot when Mathieu was injured. That happened in the first series. He covered Diggs for 7-8 plays. They had to change the game plan after that. It wasn’t Sneed getting Safety help on Diggs.
  10. Who do you think lined up across from Diggs yesterday and erased him? It was the same guy who lined up against him in the AFCCG last year and shut him out. Sneed held Diggs without a catch until his concussion. Fenton came in and Diggs caught passes on the first 2 plays. Sneed is absolutely our #1. Spagnuolo would absolutely say as much. The fact that Spags moves him all over is a testament to his skill set. Mathieu’s role is critical in this defense, and I think Spags is preparing to put Sneed in that spot next year and let Mathieu walk. He’s the best CB we’ve had in Kansas City since Dale Carter.
  11. I’d like to draft Cobe Bryan’s and Isaiah Thomas just to screw with people.
  12. So is Tyreek not a #1 WR because he lines up in the slot so often?
  13. Feel free to watch the game again. He was lined up on the boundary against Diggs every snap until Mathieu went out. Ordinarily, Fenton would have played the slot but with both out, Sneed took over that role. Sneed in our #1 CB and Ward is our #2. Fenton is our Nickel, and sometimes Mathieu covers the slot as well. Our backup CBS are Hughes and Baker. Neither of them can play the slot. They’re pure boundary guys just like Breeland was last season. Sneed played the boundary the first 4 weeks of 2020 when Breeland was out. When he returned, Sneed moved to the slot.
  14. I’ve heard several interviews with opposing players who talk about how much faster Hill is than anyone else they’ve ever seen. The guy just instantly accelerates. It’s like he’s driving a Tesla and everyone else is driving a Mustang. If you ever want to get a true sense of his burst, don’t watch him. Focus on how defenders react when he gets the ball. Barry Sanders was the same way. He wasn’t as fast, but defenders had that same panicked look about them as they desperately flailed around hoping to not be on the wrong end of a highlight.
  15. Even if all those guys leave, if Buffalo doesn’t bring in more talent than that via free agency there are going to be a lot of pissed off fans around here.
  16. Why not just draft your own guy? Beane already gave up the pick that was used for Justin Jefferson to get Diggs. You want to give away another first rounder for the right to pay Metcalf $20,000,000 a year? At some point you’ve got to draft your own talent rather than overpay for the talent someone else found.
  17. That article is so terrible, they owe money for reading it.
  18. If there’s a sliver lining, winning that game would have meant a trip to Kansas City the following week. That Divisional Round game didn’t just knock the Texans out of the playoffs, it sent their entire franchise into a tailspin.
  19. If there’s one thing Bill O’Brien has experience with, it’s blowing leads in the playoffs to the Chiefs. That 24-0 lead was a 28-24 deficit before halftime. It literally collapsed an entire franchise.
  20. How does he not get more opportunities? In 2 years he’s had a total of 149 targets. 17 of them were TDs. Assuming 7 points per TD, that’s 119 points. He nearly averages scoring .89 points every time he’s targeted. Meanwhile, just this year Beasley got 121 targets and scored once. That’s .06 points per target. What am I missing?
