I’m mostly fine with McDermott not dictating plays at the end of the game. He isn’t an offensive coordinator. But he should be communicating strategy. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. Brady and Allen need to take that strategy and implement it.

Favre wouldn't win an MVP today. Voters seem to irrationally care about interceptions for some reason (even at the expense of TDs). I'd take the Super Bowl though...

I’m counting 9-5 in one score games for KC last year including the playoffs. 10-3 in 2022 6-4 in 2021 Pretty ridiculous success considering most teams are a coin flip in 1 score games.

Rebuilding from all the veterans on our defense leaving. Probably a year late tbh. We’ve lost White, Poyer, Hyde, Edmunds in the past two years and Von Miller has been effectively out with injury/suspension. We also lost all of our veteran WRs this offseason. We’re eating a big helping of dead cap this year. The goal is to get young guys some experience and do the best we can.

Kind of curious what other team’s records are in 1-score games. I think the Chiefs would be ridiculously good, and everybody else would be around where we are (.500).

If Allen passes it to Coleman there the DB is walking in a pick-6. Agree that Kincaid was a good option, and Allen should have taken the check down. To be fair, I’m pretty sure he was concussed.

If you’re talking about the last throw, Dawkins got bull rushed back into Allen immediately and he was hit as he threw. Probably complete with 0.25 more seconds to throw.

I’m pretty sure I specifically remember John Brown switching shoulders to catch a deep ball like that several times.

If people think Coleman is slow, Hollins is actually slower if you can believe it.

KC had a similar scenario last week where Worthy ran a man-coverage beating crosser to get a first down and clinch it. The Chiefs understand that a short pass for YAC is the move in that situation. We seem to struggle with basic playcalls like that.

Has he had worse WRs? I think today's star studded WR lineup is probably the same as the Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes, Charles Clay days.

Opposing QB stat lines vs the Ravens this year: Patrick Mahomes 20/28 for 291 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 101.9 passer rating Gardner Minshew 30/38 for 276 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 94.7 passer rating Dak Prescott 28/51 for 379 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 91.9 passer rating Josh Allen 16/29 for 180 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, 73.9 passer rating Joe Burrow 30/39 for 392 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT, 137.0 passer rating Seems like every other team can pass all over them but us.

I followed your instructions, and I'm just imagining Collins catching the ball easily and walking into the end zone. Was that the purpose of the thought exercise?

What's crazy is that Stroud had a game almost as bad as Allen if you look at their relative play and the impact on the game. Bills had 2 TD drives, Texans had 2 TD drives. Bills: First TD drive - Biggest play was a nice intermediate pass to Kincaid. RB punched it in. Second TD drive - Single big play to Coleman Texans: First TD drive - Biggest play was a RB screen. RB ran it in untouched. Second TD drive - Single big play to Collins Both teams even had cheesy FG drives where neither offense did any driving. Bills off the turnover, and Texans at the end of the game. And Stroud had 3 big mistakes - a bad pick, a bad fumble, and intentional grounding to knock them out of FG range at the end of the game. Allen didn't really have any big mistakes, the offense just had trouble moving the ball all day. Allen easily could have started forcing things leading to turnovers and eliminating the chance of a comeback at the end.

I think we can limit their offense a lot more with Milano, Bernard and Taron Johnson healthy. Hopefully we'll have that in the playoffs 🤞

I don't think our defense was excellent today on the average play. They make 3 really big plays (4th down stuff, INT, and fumble recovery). Relying on big plays probably won't work every week, but maybe thing will be better if we can get healthier.

He very clearly slows down looking for the ball. He isn't an NFL WR, he is Jake Kumerow. We have the current equivalent to Jake Kumerow playing as our #1 WR.

Lol the replay makes it look so much worse. He looks like a 9 year old in little league trying to catch a pop fly over their heads. Any real NFL WR and that is 6 easily. Allen even put a ton of loft under it which he usually fails to do.

If I were Allen I wouldn't throw the ball to Hollins unless it's one of those quick ones within 5 yards of the LOS. The guy is not a WR.

Fully agree with this post. The thing giving me hope is that the rest of the AFC looks meh as well. KC - If Rice is done for the season they are in the same place we are with minimal weapons. They will have to lean on their defense and every game will be close. One bad bounce and they can be out. HOU - We just saw how easily they can choke away a game. Bills easily could have won despite playing terribly. Not super impressive vs other bad teams like the Bears. BAL - Have already blown multiple games, and leaning on a geriatric (in RB years) rusher. If Henry keeps this usage up for 17 games and the playoffs I'll eat my hat. PIT - Pretenders, and I'm pretty sure everybody knows that. If KC loses tomorrow night, the entire conference will be clustered around 3-2 and 4-1. Bills *should* win 4 out of the next 5 games. We'll likely still be around 1 game back of the top seed if that plays out.

I think we'll see offensive play calling so conservative next week that it would make the GOP blush. It's going to be Jauron-ball, and I also think we win a low scoring affair.

Just need the Chiefs to lose tomorrow night and we'll be only 1 game back of the first seed somehow 🤪 AFC is so mediocre right now.

You believe we have a loaded roster? We clearly have poor depth, because after one WR injury Mack Hollins is our #1 WR and receiving target. We absolutely do not have a loaded roster, and it's partially by design (taking our medicine to load up again next season).

The thing that gets me is that the Chiefs are playing pretty much as badly as we are, but they keep winning due to a combination of luck and much better coaching. You think that kicker is drilling that long one vs the Chiefs? No way...

He sure looked out cold to me. The only alternative I can imagine that makes any sense is that he got the wind knocked out really badly (like when you feel like you can't breath and are gasping for air). But he was motionless for a good 5 seconds after hitting the turf.
