Mahomes is naturally aggressive and will keep attacking. Even some of Alex's passes to wide open receivers were not good passes. dudes had to reach. Wilson TD was not a good throw and should have been picked, ala Pitt TD last week.
Our problem last night was not Alex Smith. [Reply]
Changes have to be made to this defense. DJ is not the same DJ as old. He's probably a part time player at best. He doesn't need to be on the field as much as he has been. As soon as Nelson is back....Gaines has to go to the bench. Eligwe and KPass need to start seeing more snaps as well. [Reply]
The last two games, we've played two of the better O-lines in the league, and have been dominated. Dominated might not even be a strong enough word. They were dominated last year in the playoff loss, and dominated the year before in the loss at NE.
It's really hard to know whether it is talent or scheme. For instance, why last year were we able to get pressure on Carr?
Another interesting thing: Look how much better Buffalo's defense is after abandoning the Rex Ryan scheme we run.
The big issue is that unless our offensive line improves a good deal when healthy, it's hard to see us winning shoot-outs in the playoffs, when we will be facing good offensive lines that will dominate this defense. [Reply]
