It's been a common refrain under this regime, the team comes off a big win and looks completely flat

Awful time for a false start. Come on guys...

I can't believe how sloppy this offense is tonight. We are fortunate to recover both of those.

I was posting that as a rookie QB threw a dumb rookie INT. I'm not going to say that pick changes my post though. Our defense has shown very little resistance to an awful offense today.

The Rams scored 40+ points against our starters and haven't come close to that the rest of the season. This defense has been a known problem. When the offense isn't performing at its very best it's a guaranteed loss. Pretty sad for a team led by a defensive head coach...

Shakir having a lot of trouble downfield today

Seems like he very intentionally is not putting his cape on, not running at all. They'll keep it in their bag from now until the playoffs.

Coaching is a massive concern heading into the playoffs. We might be at a disadvantage in every single playoff matchup

Again I wonder what is the point of having a defensive head coach when this is the product we get from that side of the ball

I don't mind the TD. I mind everything that got them into that position.

Bizarre personnel decisions continue to hurt this team. No reason Spector should EVER be on the field unless we are down to our last LB.

Special teams and defense starts the game in disappointing fashion, typical.

Hurts goes down with a concussion and the Eagles offense hits a wall... Ridiculous to even consider a RB for MVP.

Meh. Our starting safety tandem isn't that important to the team's success. Elam in for Douglas might be an upgrade honestly. As long as Benford and Johnson are out there I'm not worried.

Pats down a starting safety and slot CB... Good day to get Kincaid involved.

Hurts, Brown, and Mailata (in that order) are more valuable to that offense.

No surprise resting the injured starters in what should be an easy game. Carter wasn't injured though, was he? He's been brutal since coming back so maybe a healthy scratch?

Yeah Barkley definitely is not the MVP. He's not even the MVP of his own team. Since Hurts left the game their drives have gone INT, long TD run, punt, punt, punt, missed FG. It's ridiculous that a RB is even in the conversation.

Dan Orlovsky nails it, as usual. Stroud may be a very accurate thrower and good on the move but he needs to learn how to make pre-snap reads and protection calls before he can talked about as one of the elite QBs.

KC's coaching staff is ready for the 3rd down blitz, Houston's isn't. That's all she wrote.

Not a great 13-1 roster but an incredible team because they have an all time great coaching staff. All the fans who said they would lose a few down the stretch discounted the coaching. It's unreal in all three phases.

That would be an absurd coaching and QB mismatch. Wouldn't even be worth watching.

Nobody wanted to hear it when they barely beat the Panthers and Raiders. But it's how they beat everybody. Houston will get back into this game and then someone on the Chiefs will make a play to win it at the end.

Correct. They'll go 16-1 (unless they rest starters in week 18) and we're the only team that has a prayer of stopping them from the threepeat because we have the only player capable of making a play to overcome them. This has been obvious for the last month.

After the initial set of games before teams had film on Brady's offense, we played 5 games without Cooper on the field. Baltimore, Houston, NYJ, Indy, and Miami. Here are the key offensive stats in those games and where they would rank in the league: Yards per game - 322.2 (21st) Points per game - 22.6 (14th) 1st downs per game - 19.4 (18th) So basically an average to slightly below average in those games. Really Miami is the only one you can look at and say the offense performed at a top 5 level. Sure adding Cooper isn't the only reason the offense has improved since then. The players have gotten more accustomed to Brady's scheme, the OL has gotten better, Allen himself has played the best football of his life since the NYJ game. But it's pretty clear that the catalyst of going from average offense to arguably the best offense in the league was adding a WR that can win outside. Cooper being on the field creates a snowball effect that helps the entire operation perform at an elite level. Just like adding Diggs back in 2020 allowed Brown and Beasley to be the best versions of themselves. You don't need Justin Jefferson but you need someone that can draw attention and win from all areas of the field.
