Pass catcher is still our #1 need

[HappyDays]

We entered the past two offseasons desperately needing more pass catchers. Well here we are again. Coleman was a non-factor. Samuel dropped a catch, tougher than it needed to be but still a play there to be made. The final play of the game a pass catcher let us down. The more I think about it the more disgusted I am.

 

Hopefully Beane has finally learned that he needs to OVER invest in pass catchers. The only way we're winning a Super Bowl under this regime is with an offense that can completely steamroll the competition. We need someone other than Allen that can make the clutch play at the end. No more half measures. Go all in on giving Allen an offensive cast worthy of his talent.

They are not, save for the Josh pick, good evaluators of offensive talent.  And I think there's enough evidence to support that after 8 off-seasons.

 

The team speed thing was glaring...again.  

 

It's going to take a major shift in philosophy to get to the SB with McD.  Sadly, I don't think he'll ever revert from what he is.  It's in his DNA.  Beane needs to look McD in the eye and say your strategy doesn't work.

I would rank sports psychologist as the top need, and then pass catcher. Also big mean defensive player that plays a little dirty (or mostly dirty).

It’s Beane’s strategy too.

We quietly got better.

They loudly got better.

Although I don't understand why Coop was so underused.

He hasn’t learned. He will never learn. Fire up your Madden franchise if you want to build that kind of team around Josh. 
 

We are gonna go DL in the first round, again. Maybe spend a 4th on a WR.

Agreed - team speed - get some WRs with speed and fix the secondary.

Yeah it is.  And because they tend to think alike we're seeing how they've plateaued.  The Carolina nonsense should go out the window this off-season.   

[Chicken Boo]

Not that Beane had a shot of landing either, but Nabers or Thomas would have made a difference today.  

[HappyDays]

Mack Hollins was our best pass catcher today. That can't happen.

He doesn't fit this offense.  I thought he would, but I was wrong.

I was begging for us to take Ladd McConkey in the draft. He was pretty damn good this year for the Chargers. Coleman seems like a good kid and may turn out okay next year but Ladd would have been a game changer for us this year.  We need a speed guy and will have cap space, so maybe there will be someone in UFA?  Hollins obviously is a must resign guy.

I unfortunately am expecting more of the same. But to me it's obvious that even Myles Garrett wasn't changing the outcome today. We needed a real downfield passing game to take the pressure off and we just couldn't get it going with any kind of consistency.

Speed kills and Worthy made plays to help the Chiefs win.  Not surprised is Coleman is out of league in 2-4 years. Beane still does not understand speed and Kincaid has been a disappointment.

At the start of the season I wanted Douglas back, at the end I don't. He was completely invisible for the entire season. 

[Simon]

The failure to properly assimilate Cooper into the offense was inexcusable

Lol good luck with that 

[Lionel Hutz]

Amazing how much we’ve invested in receivers recently to end up with Mack Hollins being our most dependable receiver.

 

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Yes, find a legit #1 WR and improve D this off-season.  Hope we can get back.

Not sure I want any of them back except for Taron and Beneford
