It's like they didn't watch the Patriots over the last 10 years, flipping the ball to undersized WR's and RB's in less than 2 seconds while blanketing the field with DB's and rushing 3.
It's like they haven't watched the Chiefs all year, moving the ball at will regardless of who plays OL.
The modern NFL is about matchups, especially individual player matchups. The whole "trenches" argument died years ago.
Oh, they sure do.
And people also don't realize how big and physical the Chiefs' DL actually is. They still think this is the line "led" by Justin Houston and Bitchmade Dee.
They don't realize that Chris Jones and Mike Pennel and Derrick Nnadi are some big, strong, physical guys, that the DEs are big and physical and sound.
Well, Chris Simms does. But I haven't seen another national person actually be aware of that. [Reply]
Aside from Brady, the rest of the Bucs players are just happy to be here. This reminds me of the Browns game where you could sense Browns players were just happy to be playing in the game and in the 4th quarter couldn't close the deal because the moment was too big for them. I envision a similar scenario. [Reply]
For the #Bucs, safeties Jordan Whitehead (shoulder) and Antoine Winfield (ankle), along with LB Lavonte David (hamstring), have no game status. All will play. WR Antonio Brown (knee) and TE Cam Brate (back) are officially questionable.

Simms actually watches the games...I'm not sure the rest do. :-) [Reply]

I think it was...the Bills? where they had a scoring drive that was aided by a couple of DPI's. What i found great about it though was that the Chiefs didn't let a few DPI's affect their aggressive play vs the receivers.
If they throw flags, w/e. They can't throw flags every play the whole fucking game. Stay aggressive, keep fighting those receivers even if you get flagged a few times. [Reply]

The real question is....how effective will they be?
One of the first plays of the game should be Kelce breaking Lavonte David's ankles (and hamstring), then flat out running over Mr. No-contact Whitehead. [Reply]
