Maybe people have forgotten how bad the middle part of the season was last year? At one point the Raiders and Chiefs were tied atop the AFCW at 6-4.
Did either of you even watch the video that Clay posted that my original comment was about?
If you did that video was Bell featured behind the best OL we had in the last couple of years. Hence my comment of wishing our current OL was that good and hinting that it was not quite fair to try and compare what Bell was doing in that clip to what he will be doing behind this line in the coming weeks if it ever becomes that good this season. Maybe, maybe not. :-) [Reply]

Did you read what we wrote?
That line that you mentioned, that was so good down the stretch last year, wasn't good early in the season. They turned it around.
So why suddenly this year would that be so hard to do? [Reply]

IR moves typically come late in the week as it doesn't mean anything until the next game. I'd expect a ir designation tomorrow as it's effectively the chiefs Friday [Reply]

Yeah it was quite puzzling on the outside looking in. I don't think he was benched and put inactive due to fumbling because it hasn't really been a career issue with him...and we are being results oriented because it came at an inopportune time. Surely there was something the staff saw, maybe a nagging injury that held him down because I remember Reid saying something that he knows how McCoys body responds after coaching him before. [Reply]

Actually, he has had a fumbling issue through his career.
And his benching last year was about much more than fumbling. He wasn't injured, he was benched. [Reply]
