Miyagi-Do Karate

i don’t think the Bucs would be generating the sort of pressure they did last night against the bills. Our tackles would hold up much better. Plus, while TB’s LB’s are solid, our game really exploits secondaries, and I think their secondary is more vulnerable.

We had an elite pass rush this past year. 5th best— better than Tampa. Sure, it can improve. But I suspect it would have looked fierce yesterday going against that KC line. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2020-pass-rush-rankings

On a related note, Barrett is sort of an amazing and interesting story. He was an UDFA out of Colorado state for Denver. Played as a backup and PS player. Just spent his time grinding and learning everything he could from Von Miller and Demarcus Ware. Denver liked him but let him walk because they had Chubb and Miller. Then he is ready to sign a somewhat long-term deal with Cincy, and Cincy pulls the plug on it. he scrambles to sign a 1-year deal with Tampa in 2019, and get 19.5 sacks!! He is going to be signing a monster deal this off-season, and deservedly so.

never rarely had to blitz tonight— it was a total Jailbreak on most of those dropbacks just bringing 4.

agreed. If he couldn’t adjust to that, then I am not sure what they are doing on the sideline as coaches. Bowles always plays that zone. Mixing it up on 3rd down doesn’t seem to be something that can’t be solved through some better playcalling and execution. just a terrible Job by the chiefs coaches.

weird. You would think they could adjust to what the Bucs were doing. I am not sure there was anything confusing about it.

the chiefs offensive coaches got totally Schooled. They didn’t adjust at all to the Bucs 2-high coverage. When we did the same thing, the chiefs either ran the ball really well, or got the ball to Hill in space about 7-8 years out and he got a ton of RAC.

Who knows? These games are so much about match-ups. I actually think our O Would have done better than the chiefs did, but the Bucs balanced attack On offense would have given our D some problems.

Can you imagine the text chains josh had with diggs and others during this game? I am sure they wished they had a mulligan.

mahomes invented the 30-yard sack. I was shocked when josh had two of them. He hasn’t taken sacks that bad ever.

this is a great point.

We are both so sick. I suspect we are both simultaneously seething over the same football slights.

what makes it great is that it was a non-bills player and so you don’t have to worry about any blowback. reminds me of when the Patriots got a joke of a penalty call against the ravens back in the day, and Bart Scott picked up the flag and threw it into the stands. Loved it. And didn’t have to worry about a bills player getting fined or ejected.

I changed my mind. I am with you. also, that was not roughing. Three guys smooshed him very legally.

Reid is a seriously meh head coach. Not really blaming him for this loss, but not seeing his “genius.” A buddy of mine thinks he won’t relinquish playcalling duties because he is worried people will realize he’s not that smart of an offensive coach.

My favorite play was Antoine taunting Hill right to his face. Amazing.

I doubt he is really basking in the glow. It’s nice to win and get a ring, but stars want to play.

Wow. No TD’s for chiefs!! None.

I blame the defensive scheme moreso than the players.

KC fans after the game: we need a new number 2 receiver, three new olineman, 2-3 better LB’s, a big bruising RB, a new punter, and a shutdown CB. Both DE’s are useless and need to get a legit speed rusher. Also, maybe Reid needs to hand over playcalling duties to EB.

Dilfer > Mahomes.

What’s the over/under on punches Thrown by chiefs players in the 4th quarter?

Little too much hero Ball, bub. Hopefully he will get better with that with some more experience and growth.

Ronald Jones is okay, but it’s not like he is that much better than Singletary. Both guys have pretty similar stats. Fournette brings a great blend of size and speed. But Bucs only have fournette on a 1 year deal, because he is such a problem child. I doubt they sign him to a big deal.
