Gay and Bolton need to play the majority of the snaps at LB
Thornhill in for Sorenson
Tyrann back to playing close to the line
Get Gordon ready to play a lot and they need to get him involved early and often
Ward and Jones need to get healthy
Jones back to DT
Frank Clark needs to take whatever he was taking the second half of the year I’m 2018
Spags needs to adjust his scheme to be more aggressive
Brendan Daly needs to be fired or at minimum put on the hot seat [Reply]
I noticed McKinnon in on some early series. I think the coaching staff recognizes that Clyde leaves a lot to be desired.
Not that McKinnon did anything of note, but with working him in and picking up Gordon, at least the offensive coaching staff is open to making changes, unlike the other side of the ball. [Reply]
Some of the takes I've seen on this and other threads are just foolish. Throw the ball every down, fire Veach, cut this player and play that one, blah, blah, blah. We can all blame the usual suspects (Sorenson, Neimann, etc.) but make no mistake, this was a team loss. Where was #32? Hill dropped passes he usually catches. Kelce couldn't shake defenders until the 2nd half. We didn't take the 10-12 yard slants and crossing routes the Bills were giving up. No pass rush. Two red zone turnovers by our half a billion dollar QB. Multiple errant throws by the same QB. I could go on and on. About the only players that didn't suck were our 2 rookie O linemen and our kicking specialists.
Opposing teams have got our number. Play Cover 2, sooner or later we'll shoot ourselves in the foot because we just aren't patient. Run the ball because our front 7 are reluctant to lay the wood to anyone. We have to start looking at the other team's weaknesses and make a game plan to exploit them. We can't wait until halftime to make adjustments on both sides of the ball. We can no longer expect Mahomes to win every game. [Reply]

It also helped that the Bills stopped taking deep shots, ran the ball more and punted on 4th and 2 or 3. [Reply]

Basically, KC has a low margin for error vs the top teams, but I still think they're capable of beating anyone. And I still expect them to overwhelm the bad/mediocre teams.
With one of the worst Ds in NFL history, we are not going to win the SB unless we have perhaps the best O in NFL history. We have to leverage the strength of this team -- the passing attack -- as much as we can. [Reply]

Well fuck me running, knew Kelce got dinged but wasn't aware of the other stuff... it turns out the super bowl hangover myth is real, not sure what else to say [Reply]

But lets put away the pitchforks and torches for a minute, and stop to consider the great moves he HAS made...
Converted a 3-4 into a respectable 4-3 in one offseason
Completely remade the O line in one offseason, and the arrow is definitely pointed up on them
Has been nails at finding crucial role players like Damien Williams, etc etc etc
Then of course his ace up the sleeve... Mahomes (don't gimme the Dorsey did it line)
He is young, and hasn't been perfect... but I've seen more than enough positive developments to let him learn from his mistake, and continue growing into the role
Veach is going to attack this defense like a rabid dog in the offseason, we all know it [Reply]

I mean it could also be that Clyde got hurt. [Reply]

I do hope Veach stops asking for input from our defensive coaches too much. It's good to ask what they need but I think he has leaned too much into non-scout evals there and it has hurt us.
Can't prove this but it's my best guess based on interviews.

See Hitchens still here at his $$$$.
Yeah if he's taking pointers from Daly and House, thats gotta stop
In fact it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they were both let go [Reply]
The biggest thing is the attitude that seems to be coming out of our stars. They seem to be taking it for granted that they should just be beating these other teams instead of preparing better than the other team's players. Our players do not seem to be giving their best physical efforts either. They are seeming entitled. The coaches need to crack down on this attitude. [Reply]

The only DL that has earned it is Jones. Everyone else should be playing as if their snaps could disappear any moment. [Reply]
