Boy that smarts. Can y'all stop calling them frauds now? They've beaten us three times in 13 months.
1. The pass rush was inexcusable. They doubled Jones all game and nobody else could get home. That's a recipe for disaster against Burrow, who, in my estimation is QB2 in the NFL. Yes, I'd absolutely take him over Josh Allen.
2. Chase looked like the same old Chase to me. He's pretty much a cheat code, especially if he's allowed to push off every down.
3. Kelce's fumble was a killer. He's won plenty of games for us with his heroics, so let's not belabor the fact, but that was a really bad moment.
4. I know everyone is frustrated with the defense, but for the most part it was poor execution, not schematic-especially in the second half. Coordinators coordinate, coaches coach, but players have to make plays. They didn't make enough of them. Period.
5. Wylie blows goats.
6. OBJ sure didn't help his case today.
7. We sure missed Thuney in there. I would think that the main reason they're still trotting out Wylie is that they don't want to have TWO new OL in there.
8. Mahomes just flat missed Mckinnon in the flat. Easy first down. I would not trade Mahomes for anything, but it is frustrating that he has this tendency. Just take the easy yards, man!
9. I love Pacheco. That's it. Just wanted to say that. We should have stuck with the run. It was working.
10. The silver lining? Well, it's a well worn saying that you learn more from failure than success. The Chiefs had plenty of opportunities to win this one; make any one of half a dozen 'oops' plays and they do. But perhaps this loss underlines some ongoing issues, and will usher in some changes. I'd rather lose this one now, if it makes them better later on.
I think an issue we have with the DL is we have too many specialized types up there. We have guys to play the run and guys to rush the passer but not guys that can really do both, other than Jones.
Danna against the run just tends to get washed out, but he can rush better than most we've got.
I think they need to get Williams up and ready to go and plug him in up there and stop the run firts. [Reply]

Not making excuses but maybe there’s reason to be optimistic that we’re better than what we showed. You’d have to imagine mahomes had a little distracting of a week as well having had a baby earlier in the week
I said this. A lot of the teams body language was off. Guys were just casually walking off the field between plays. DL got stonewalled continuously. Defense gave up more YAC than usual. [Reply]

It certainly seems like he would've helped on Sunday. [Reply]

Yeah, I posted in the game thread that I was a pretty big Stan for Allegretti because he's cheap and versatile but he was getting fucking destroyed out there. We really missed Thuney. [Reply]
