You need so many DB's now, it pays to have 6 good ones instead of 1 great one, 2 or 3 good ones, and 2 BAD ones.
Great DLines make average DBs look good and good DBs look great. Bad Dlines make good and great DBs look average. Pressure the QB and filling your secondary becomes much easier and cheaper. [Reply]
Thanks Bearcat for my 2021 TOUR! Glad you were so interested in me to spend quality time searching my season review! Hope it made your day. Whatever. [Reply]

For me, it’s Singletary running at 5.0 yards a clip.
Lining up Sorenson as a deep safety more than 1-2 times. Made me want to shoot my eyes out when Allen dropped bombs on a Sorenson blown coverage. [Reply]
So much about that first game that screams fluke. Of course the 4 turnovers. But with the number of long pass plays they never had to sustain drives. Chiefs actually had 9 more first downs. Bills had 5 receivers average 16 yards or more as our secondary was so shit. Allen only had to complete 15/26. He was their leading rusher, gotta contain that. Pat hadn't figured out the short game and was terribly inefficient. They did stuff our runs pretty well outside of Mahomes scrambles. Unleash #1!
I feel irrationally confident that the Chiefs advantage is as big as it was going into last year's AFCCG. I think that line was only 3 points IIRC. [Reply]
