Big Blitz

Timed up horribly as we kick in fairly big second contracts to a bunch of guys that aren’t game wreckers. The cheap labor must be good to compliment them or ….. well you’re seeing it now.

No chance Palmer is ready for the Chiefs game.

So it seems to me every year prior to this the consensus was “we’re ok.” Question the AI all we want but I’d agree with that. I remember after the Dorsey firing thinking “we’re going on a run.” This time it’s different bc the defense is such a disaster and there is nothing at WR - in 2024 we won in the trenches, the turnover battle, and Allen being flawless. No one will tell you how good our WR group was. And in 2023 teams still had to worry about Diggs. Currently the WR group is being exposed.

Because we’re old and/slow on defense. Because Matt Milano can’t stay on the field. We knew Hyde and Poyer were going to keep us protected. This offense will need to score 30 plus a game vs good offenses. The defense only gets better if it gets healthy, Bishop gets better, and the suspended guys are good. Lots of ifs there that we had before the season but bc Beane didn’t do anything we were confident Bishop would make that leap and that Rapp was important.

I will say despite how terrible the holes are - WR, DBs, LBs - if Josh played just marginally better the last 2 weeks, we’re 6-0. That is how good he is. And what we can hang our hat on. But the question is has he been off because he’s hurt, the play calling, or the WRs? Or all of it. If those are the reasons then we need to trade for TWO WRs.

This.

I’ve said this every year since 2020. At some point we’re gonna do it!

Thigh doc says 4 weeks

It might be too much coaching. What did we do this off season? Bring in like 3 special assistants to the defense? I do think the D line has been better by a lot from last year. Walker and Bosa are significant upgrades. And Oliver was good again tonight. LBs and DBs. Absolutely horrific.

They look fat and happy, not humble and hungry. Like they accomplished what they could and got paid and are content - meanwhile they’re the hunted and are getting everyone’s best effort. The guys were hoping to get back aren’t exactly Cee Dee Lamb or Jalen Carter. This D won’t be getting better this year. The offense can. But it has to luck into a WR trade. And just like last year, we’re going to need to score 30 plus a game. DJ Moore is probably no longer available as the Bears are in the race. Shaheed? Olave? Both.

What??? What is going on? What was his full answer

Brady’s been figured out and hasn’t adjusted. And last years WR room was actually worse. Cooper on his last legs made it better probably should have told us something.

Set the tone for the game. I feel like a lot of mentally weak coaches let this get to the players - like here we go again.

Brady absolutely got schooled tonight. How did he not have a counter to the blitzing we knew they were bringing. It’s who they are. It looked like “just hope someone is open” pass plays rather than a confidence they knew exactly how to respond. I don’t think he’s that clueless. I just think it was more the WRs couldn’t get open and no Kincaid killed us. 60 percent that and 40 percent play calling.

KC went out and got Rice early in the draft then followed that up with Worthy. Brought in Hollywood Brown and Hopkins to help. We got Coleman. After all kinds of mental gymnastics to do it. Annnnd resigned Shakir. Brought in Josh Palmer. Elijah Moore. Oh and the worst signing of the Beane era - Curtis Samuel. No more excuses. No more everybody eats nonsense. This is a mess.

Yes. The “easy” part of the schedule is over.

I mean what are we doing???

That thought hit me hard last week vs New England with their CBs locking us down. That was reality check time.

That he’s still on this roster. He’s not the same player. But they “trust” him or something.

Nope. I posted pre game with the news of Jones being out this thread was coming. Daquan Jones. Another jag we keep believing he’s still playing like it’s 2021. And the Samuel injury and Kincaid injury. I can’t defend him anymore. Look around the league. Look at our roster.
