20 points allowed
Lawrence three for only 90 yards in his first 23 attempts (3.91 avg)
Tackling was solid
Blitzes were very good including the Reid blitz that on the Watson pick play
He did this with 5 rookies playing a lot of snaps today. Just a remarkable performance from his defense [Reply]
Yeah, Shaq Barrett singled him out after the game.
#Bucs' Shaq Barrett says #Chiefs G Andrew Wylie was talking trash all night long: "I didn't even know what he was saying. I told him he's a scrub, he's trash, he gotta take a train home. Just get back on the flight tonight. I'm going to Disney World, baby!"

He'd mind-fucked himself. But he did say "y'know, if my coaches believe in me, why don't I believe in me? I kept telling myself after those fumbles that I didn't want to do it anymore, but that was a lie - I want the ball..."
So credit to the staff for keeping his confidence up even after they'd clearly taking him out of the role. As for the return, it wasn't a spectacular return but he does deserve credit for keeping things simple. Remember Vanover back in the day? Catch ball - go forward. That's what Moore did there. He got a great punt to return (man it was a bad punt) and knew he'd have plenty of runway in front of him so he didn't fuck around and didn't get cute. He went to gobble up as much of that open space in front of him as quickly as he could. And his coverage unit did a great job of opening that lane for him and preparation met opportunity.
The best thing Moore did on that return was not try to do too much. And because he didn't, the return opened up for him and he was able to take advantage of it.
The question is....which Moore on punt returns do we have? The one who fumbles and gets in his own head...or the one who can adequately do the job? [Reply]

Wylie just needs to handle it better but it's not like it was completely unprovoked.
I don't think we're going to see a bunch of that bullshit with the Eagles. There might be some subtle trash talking but nothing like the Bengals/Bucs. [Reply]

The latter, I think. I mean the last time he muffed a punt was a long, long time ago. [Reply]

go back and look at the snap on the last FG
that snap was a bit off to my eye...it came into tommy's body pretty close, low to the ground and he didn't catch it cleanly
when i saw it, i panicked
townsend plucked and placed with perfection! [Reply]

Oh I don't disagree. Wylie should know better.
I'm just saying that isn't the norm for him. He's usually pretty quiet. I think he lets all that trash talk get in his head. That's his fault for sure. I'm just saying it probably doesn't happen at all if the Bengals went about their business without running their mouths. [Reply]
That Bengals game was personal for every one of those dudes. After that bullshit last year? There was no way they were going to come out flat. The Bengals talking shit just made it easier for them to get worked up. [Reply]

Jesus, man - you're just absolutely refusing to give the guy any credit and then getting pissed off when people call you an idiot for it.
Nobody's saying you HAVE to say that Spags has had a fantastic year. It's a free country and you don't have to wear the ribbon.
But just about everyone is comfortable calling you a goddamn moron for simply putting blinders on and celebrating your ignorance. Worse still, it's not like anyone was calling for you to come out and announce it. You simply sauntered into the thread and felt compelled to double down on it.

You give him line-drives that he doesn't have to move for, I suspect he'll be just fine.
It's those hangers with the coverage circling around him that he starts to adjust to as they float up there that make me nervous.
Like I said, the Bengals punter just wasn't very good on Sunday. It almost made me wonder if they weren't going galaxy brain back there and INTENTIONALLY attacking Moore with the idea that he might bobble one. But still, if you're gonna do that, putting it to the middle of the field is fine but you have to hang it. When it's flat like that, it's not much different from catching a pass and ultimately there's just not that much time to think about it and get in your own head.
Give Moore credit for Sunday, sure. Doesn't mean I want to see him out there again in the SB though. [Reply]

I guess they could put Watson back there for the SB but we're sort of running out of options. I'm not a huge fan of Pacheco on KR duty either. I wasn't in the beginning and I'm for sure not now that he's basically our starting RB. [Reply]
