The equivalent on offense would be Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce not showing up here or there. Sure they will have the occasional drop, interception, bad route, etc., but you never see all three disappear for an entire game or longer. Would people give them all a pass for continually not living up to their contract? Maybe, maybe not, but we don't have to worry about it because it simply doesn't happen. The players on offense bring it each week. The same apparently can't be said for the big money guys on defense. [Reply]

Yep, we will.
But they deserve all the crap they get today. They didn't do shit against the raiders. Chris Jones apparently got a couple pressure but I didn't see any real impact during the game. Carr looked so good because he could just stand there without any fear of being hit. Rodney Hudson kicked Chris Jones' ass all game. [Reply]

Sure but my point was that Ward got beat on that play [Reply]

Yeah I think our run D was good against Jacobs in the first game too. Spags knows Gruden wants to run first. The Raiders are 7th in rush yards per game.
Thing is the pass D has been really good this year, while run D continues to be questionable. But it's the opposite against Las Vegas. [Reply]
You guys see the clip of Jones? He took so many plays off, gave up early. Sometimes at the snap he just stood straight up and didn’t move much. Maybe that happens every game? Those big dudes on the DL can’t play every snap. [Reply]
