I heard they were smaller and lighter through the middle of their dline and that is where you need to run against them.

Great coaching up of Hardman on fielding the punt when we had no return team.

We finished 1st overall in D one year BECAUSE we faced David Mills.

Seems like most of that vaunted WR draft class is overrated. Harrison a possible bust. Odunze onderwhelming. Nabers great but bad career compromising injury. BTJ stunning collapse year two. Worthy - KC faithful see a possible bust, Pearsoll - we’ll give him a pass but not showing much. Polk Corley and Mitchell on second teams already. Burton an embarrassment. Ladd may be the only one of ten performing at least at his draft position.

Not disagreeing it was a horrific call that sealed the game. However, having watched 25 years of the Brady and calls, I make zero apologies.

Of course the Pats don’t even have to play Chase

The most concerning thing to me big picture is the D seems to be aging fast, even where they are not that old. Bernard can’t run anymore and injured every week. Benford looks old. Oliver’s body breaking down. Hoecht can’t last two games. Rapp. Johnson. For splash plays can only look to Bishop, Hairston and Walker. Seems you will need draft classes of 12-15 players just to replenish the D.

More like Isaiah Hodgins

Where’s the Mahomes bail-out flag. What’s going on

Has Hairston had a snap?

With Kincaid out Brady should see how Coleman works in the intermediate slot. Everyone says Shakir is a slot receiver, but he’s not even that anymore. He’s a backfield receiver now. Shakir has great skills but also has the shortest arms and smallest catch radius in the league. I think Allen just got sick of having to make perfect throws to hit Shakir over the middle past 10 yards. The answer may be on the roster: Coleman.

Drake Maye is leading the MVP race with castoffs Bills WRs that were not separating, easily handled in man coverage, and holding Allen back. Time to stop whining and make it work.

Joe Burrow has returned to practice. 21 day window opened. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46918631/bengals-joe-burrow-returns-practice-21-day-window-opens

Honestly, I’m shocked we haven’t seen a defender sit on the little screen to Shakir and take it to the house - yet.

He actually did a decent job after getting burned for the TD to make sure the pass was incomplete. Waddle did end up dropping the pass due to Hairston’s efforts and the catch did not survive ground. I don’t know why it was ruled complete when he didn’t hang on to it. Should have been placed at the 1.

Allen had 15 seconds to find someone on first down and no one was open. Miss Hollins running the secondary ragged by the end of the first quarter.

Sanchez’s wife is a TV actress who plays a woman in love with a disgraced football star. Kinda crazy.

still don’t understand why the chiefs did not lose a timeout for challenging a call that was not reviewable.

Wait…I thought it was all Kromer.

On the other hand, guys coming off nasty lower leg injuries are not a bad place to mine for value if the player is young enough. Sometimes, full recovery is not achieved until year 3 after the injury.

Hoecht went down in the fourth quarter, a play before the 4th and 17 conversion.

The stages of Oliver/Hoecht grief: 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. BARGAINING 4. Depression 5. Acceptance

To get 5+ contributors like this year, you need to be drafting 10 or so players. I’m glad they kept all their picks, especially with a history of success in the middle to late rounds.

Would have no issue with Von for the Hoecht role. Also, need a bridge for when Bosa may not be available.

I’d have given a fourth just on a flyer for Mitchell. X receiver skills with speed.
