I don’t think that better talent is allocated properly in this case if that makes sense. They’re loaded up at wr but need help in a lot of other areas. They’ve got good pass rushers outside but seem weak up the middle up front, none of their linebackers are particularly good, Lassiter is starting at corner and he hasn’t looked great so far. I think they’re gonna have a lot of trouble slowing Josh down/the running game we’ve gotten some good corner play so far and our safeties are pretty bad in pass coverage but even worse in run support so that could be worse lol they won’t have mixon. theres a lot of valid reasons why the Texans are struggling against bad teams despite having some big name skill position guys and a couple household name pass rushers I think we’ll get one of taron/terrell back too and possibly both

The light blue highlights which seem like the whole point look awful to me haha the rest is fine

Were focused more on our own team here obviously but this ‘they beat bad teams but lost to a good one’ criticism easily applies to Houston too and they didn’t look particularly good in any of those wins. the spread being that close makes sense…I wouldn’t be shocked if it gets closer to even if Bernard or t johnson are active doesn’t mean they won’t find it starting this week but Houston has been pretty underwhelming so far

Man this has been the hardest game to predict in a long time. I think mcd is a bit of a wizard baffling young qbs and that Texans run defense looks gettable to me roster wise. Lassiter seems like he’s still learning the ropes at corner too that Houston defense reminds me a bit of the dolphins defenses that Josh has nuked. Assuming one or both of taron/terrell play I don’t think we get a repeat of last week even without Ed BUF: 31 HOU:24

I feel like the ‘amount’ of injuries is comparable to other teams…but they always find our best possible defensive players at the worst times 🤣.

Good lord do not let us lose to a team dressed like that

Say what you will about mcd in other respects but he elevates dbs play like crazy…I think poyer is probably a jag with any other team even in his prime

This is almost like the unexpected week 1 win actually made things worse somehow lol

Samuel will pick up…he’s proven reliable over a pretty big sample size it’s not like Deonte harty where we were guessing he’d take a leap in productivity. It’s just way too early to dig into anyone’s numbers especially when we were just running out the clock most of the second half in 66% of our wins

tough to tell anything this year as three of their games were bears, colts, jaguars. Last year they had a good run defense but Blake cashman, Sheldon rankins, and Maliek collins left and their DT play has been pretty bad so far jaguars didn’t have any trouble running on them but colts/bears they could just load up against the run

It’ll come down to the trenches as most football games do. Half our games have been against extremely mobile qbs so I’d expect the dline to be better in this one now that contain isn’t as important even without Ed

The bills have this rare ability to lose the two best starters in one position group lol then everyone still uses the ‘every team has injuries’ line. Chiefs would be 0-4 if you took their two best linebackers away. Heck they might be 0-4 if you just took Bolton away

Can’t get the offense right against good teams either usually…really don’t even think he’s an elite offensive mind at this point

The bills seem to be heading for mostly positionless offense and i think it’s hurting people’s brains that are used to the traditional ‘people listed as wrs on the depth chart catch most of the passes’ lol we could’ve thrown for 400 against Jacksonville if we really wanted and the extra yards would probably be evenly split between Kincaid, cook and shakir with a few more catches for Coleman

Half our games were over not long after halftime and we just ran out the clock…we’ve only played 4 🤣. Were basically missing a full game in a four game season of passing stats lol

If we have taron and Bernard back for the chiefs game I don’t really see us losing. Chiefs got a little unlucky seeing us late in the season they definitely would’ve won if we played them around now given our current situation. Niners game could go either way though even with those guys i dont think people can even comprehend how big a deal missing your two best players in one position group is(Milano,Bernard) because we get caught up in this ‘no excuses’ mentality about our own team. If the chiefs were down Bolton and drue tranquil they wouldn’t have won a game. Just getting one of those two back keeps someone deep on your depth chart off the field

People don’t understand that just because something we did went badly doesn’t mean something we could’ve done wouldn’t have gone worse 😂. It’s pretty amusing honestly. Idk who these good linebackers our supposedly stupid coaches refused to play are that everyone is suggesting totally exist haha

My wording was bad on ‘blown coverage type situations’ because I got lazy lol…his td earlier this season was unquestionably blown coverage. His td against the chargers was bad defense imo seemed like miscommunication between the corner and safety to me personally it wasn’t an outright nobody covered him situation though for sure it has nothing to do with him being on the chiefs, his entire season has basically been two splash plays that I don’t think will be sustainable but we’ll see. If he was more consistently making smaller plays rather than two huge chunk plays I’d trust the stats more I would’ve said the same thing about Keon if josh scrambled around on that terrible trick play and actually got Keon the ball there on a huge play…the defense just dropped him so I wouldn’t have read into the big play too much

Reid’s career is also littered with early round wr busts so I guess we’ll see lol. The guy busts on wrs as much as anybody. In fact knowing Reid’s career is what makes me think worthy will probably bust 🤣 my favorite nfl beef is even keeled bill belichick saying notable Andy Reid draft pick Freddie Mitchell ‘is terrible and you can print that’ haha if Reid didn’t botch that pick the eagles likely win that 04 Super Bowl 2 of those worthy plays accounted for 89 yards and 2 TDs on just dreadful defense/blown coverage. That really shouldn’t swing someone objectively looking at worthy’s game in either direction sometimes reids wr hits don’t jump out in the stats department early that much i agree with but watching them on film you could tell they had it. Worthy is below that line imo. There is nothing he has done that mecole hardman couldn’t do

I don’t think the chiefs are anywhere remotely close to the pats dynasty personally…if they weren’t the healthiest team by a wide margin last season they were not winning the superbowl and that luck seems to be evening out this year

It’s kind of tough to gauge…how much of it is running because scared to pass vs running because it’s easy. Since 2019 we’ve been bottom half of the league in rushing yards allowed per game zero times. Last year we were 15th and the year before we were 5th. This year it’s too early to tell there have been a few short stretches of terrible run defense for sure though. I feel like most seasons we have a game or two where the defense gets steamrolled and we all panic haha going back earlier than 2019 we were pretty bad and average but those rosters were pretty terrible

It’s crazy he can play professional football with the left hand injury but probably couldn’t golf right now if he wanted to 🤣

Chargers defense just refused to cover worthy on that play that everyone is overreacting to lol his two statement plays have been busted coverage type situations. I honestly think there’s a real chance the chiefs got absolutely fleeced on that trade…Carter is looking pretty good early

Haha I agree in the complete opposite way if I’m interpreting this post correctly. Coleman looks like the more complete player to me and it’s honestly not particularly close. We’ll see though as worthy is gonna have more opportunities now. Worthy just jaunting past a corner and a safety on a go route is not gonna be there for him the vast majority of the time…I have absolutely no idea what the chargers defense was doing on that play 😂. Coleman made some big time plays in tight coverage during an everything going wrong type of game and had a couple open deep shots if the oline held up a split second longer dewayne Carter who we ended up grabbing from that trade down is lookin pretty good too seems like he immediately phased out Austin Johnson

Idk what the heck happened in the ravens game lol Simon pointed it out that the flat routes were there at times and then I couldn’t unsee it 🤣. seems like josh/brady or maybe both panicked trying to keep pace with the ravens offense and abandoned the shorter stuff that likely would’ve worked and the ravens very much knew we would
