The sample size is super small. Get some perspective. Seriously.
This loss absolutely sucks. I fully admit to that. But this doesn't meaningfully change where I think this team ends up in January/February.
Nah, this game exposed the OL and DL. Badly. I guess we can all beat our dicks as they dominate this diaper shit schedule the rest of the way but when we've played the other elite teams like the Bills, Titans, and Bengals they show us who they really are. [Reply]
I'm mad but not as mad as I've ever been. The ugly showing against the bucs in the super bowl and whatever it was we did in the 2nd half of the afc championship game both made me way more upset. This didn't cost us our season and as long as we take care of the rest of our games we still have a good chance at the 1 seed. [Reply]

You're acting like they didn't show up.
The idea that you'd feel SO different about this team if 1-2 plays had gone different versus how things ended up is crazy to me.
There’s a consistent theme to these games that we can’t get to Burrow, and we make key mistakes. Yes, they’re close. But we’ve had three chances and counting to figure it out and still no dice.
Anyway, you’re one of my bros, I love you, I’m going to light a nice cigar and pour a single malt scotch and start decompressing. [Reply]
Online is average. Even worse when anyone is out. Brown is below average and can’t protect against speed. Wy,ie and Allegretti are backups for sure which complicates things when they’re both in for starters.
Defense is ass. I don’t GAF what stats are out there. These dudes routinely give up 6-8 on first Down. can’t tackle. First contact they give up another 5 yards due to shitty tackling.
Team overal always seems to be underprepared and relaying on Mahomes in the back of their collective minds.
Whatever. Enjoy the wins
But this team is always slow on of the gate and defense seems to relay in their own end zone backline as the other defender considering they let teams march 11+ plays and don’t seems to tighten up until they get backed up,
Defense is hard to watch Though a lot of that is the current state of the nfl where holding a team to 27 is considered a good defense. [Reply]
Our lack of defense forces Pat and the offense to be perfect in every possession. NOT REALISTIC !! And it wears on this offense over time as you saw today.:-) [Reply]
