We did what we had to, but we are lucky the Chiefs turned into the Bills the last month or so. They made more questionable calls than we did. Next year Mahomes will be starting for KC. Our coaches are coaching as if they are more afraid of the qb making a mistake more than a play. It seems as if their instructions to TT is not to lose the game. That's a stifling way to coach and a stifling game to watch.
Maine-iac Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 The crazy thing is if you take out the Jets, Saints, and Chargers this is exactly how we were winning. We were playing great defense and then scratch and claw out 20 to 25 points. Then the lights went out and the defense went home for 3 games. Don't know what changed exactly from one week to the next but it's a welcome addition having them back.

JohnC Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 As the season advances it's interesting to watch how our draft picks are developing. Our first round pick CB White has generally played well right out of the gate. In this game I thought Dawkins played well although his holding penalty on a big play was damaging. The player that is coming along after a horrible start is Zay Jones. You can see him gaining confidence and making catches that he didn't in the first half of the season.

The defense looked prepared this week and the offensive gameplan was enough to get it done. Good win today in a hostile environment. Why was it a hostile environment?

I remember the commentator was just praising right when he was called for holding. Chalk it up to commentators curse.

Much of that falls on the full offense, but what we are seeing on O is not different than what was seen the previous two years. i don’t say that Taylor is the entire problem, but he is not the solution either unless you are fielding an all-time great defense and super running game. 8 minutes ago, nucci said: Why was it a hostile environment?

Perhaps, just maybe, the entire team responded to the shakeup of benching Taylor. Maybe instead of saying McDermott was stupid to bench Taylor, we should praise him for jump-starting a dead team.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I remain puzzled at how the run D held Kareem hunt to 17 yards on 11 carries after getting gashed like they have the last several weeks. 1

I thought the defensive linemen and LBers did a good job staying in their lanes and not overcommitting. When the qb isn't much of a threat to throw downfield there is a lot less space for the running game.

They gave up like 200 yards on the ground to the jets, who had no semblance of a QB threat. They gave up 300 on the ground to the saints when the saints basically telegraphed on every play that they were going to run.

If you arent at your spot every single moment on the run play the the rb sees that and runs through your hole. Today are defense was playing their gaps. I also seen a safety play a little closer to the line than normal on what ine would think would be a running play.
