They've looked pretty pedestrian all season, at least on offense. I guess Tom Brady's tummy is still fucked up from the strawberry he accidentally ate. Still, gonna need a good week of practice from our offense and special teams to fix what went wrong today. Discus [Reply]

Oh I get it. Not sure how many people in NO care for him. [Reply]
It's really simple
If the Chiefs play to 80% of their capability they will win. If they play like they did in Indy they will lose.
The Bucs D front 4 should be the primary concern........Then the Chiefs Field goal kicker.
When is Butker scheduled to be back? I can't find it anywhere. [Reply]

We have running backs with below-league-average vision and less than average athletic ability.
Except for that guy who happens to be the fastest back in the rookie class.
So tired of the RB narratives on this board. The vast majority are only as good as their holes. And the blocking in Indy was pathetic. They were also defended very well.
How did Jonathan "CP cries about me daily" Taylor look? Would anyone have guessed that he's a star if they didn't know him? Ran straight into a wall 3 times out of 4 like he was facing the Steel Curtain. [Reply]

It is common knowledge that CEH and Pacheco have regularly failed to acknowledge huge holes our OL have opened for them. I don't even think that was disputable. [Reply]

With Pacheco some of that is forgivable due to lack of time/experience. CEH has zero excuses. It's definitely not entirely on the O line but there's enough blame from Indy to go around. [Reply]

Pachecho has missed like 2, and he's looked good otherwise. He's also just a rookie that probably has PTSD from playing behind a garbage OL with no QB. The narrative is overblown though.

You mean it's commonly assumed that it's regular. Is anyone breaking down every play to see how often it actually happens, and then comparing to every other RB in the league?
A lot of people predetermined that this would be a problem for Pacheco, so they're looking for it and blowing every instance out of proportion. And we already know that CEH gets no leeway.
Just gets old seeing people praise backs for running straight ahead through gaping holes, and then crushing our backs for getting swarmed behind the line of scrimmage.
Over the first two games, the backs averaged 5 yards/carry. The lanes clearly weren't there in Indy. Blocking was shit. Just because, in theory, this OL should be opening gaping holes doesn't mean it's happening. [Reply]
