The outlet was Shakir on the left side. Spags made a great blitz call there.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories as a general rule

I predict the Chiefs will win because Reid and Spags will completely outcoach the Eagles staff. And if they do the Chiefs will be there with the great teams like the Pats with Brady, Packers with Lombardi, the 70's Steelers and the 80's Niners.

What is unrealistic and emotional is the idea that Josh would call that kind of presser. You know that so why are you demanding it?

He wasn't rushed back since an independent neurologist makes that call.

Not sure what you mean.

It hurts a lot more now when we get knocked out. But it's still a helluva lot better than to not make the playoffs at all.

I believe Josh in the post-game talked about how he shifted protections to the left on that last play. Spags made a great call to disguise what he was doing and brought the pressure from the other side. So there were three guys crashing in from the right, Torrence was looking left. Even if Torrence gets out to get one guy, there is a guy running free right at Josh, so it would have made it difficult if not impossible to go to Shakir. And even with all that, Kincaid has to catch the ball.

It hurt. I thought Bishop played OK as did Hamlin. Kelce wasn't really a factor. I am surprised they didn't put Ingram in for Elam.

But we had a shot and the Browns didn't. Don't know why that's not apparent to you.

I agree. I was speaking in the theoretical. People always think the grass will be greener, but more times than not it's brown. That said, we need an infusion of talent on both sides of the ball. Depends on the circumstance

If I was going to make a theoretical change of our HC, I would explore a trade with the Steelers to get Tomlin.

You believe what you want. The video you showed as proof of your thesis shows the opposite. Spags fooled Josh on that one and it worked.

Yeah, the video shows it. Three guys coming from the right side. Even if protection isn't shifted to the left, even if Torrence picks up one guy, a guy is running free at Josh.

As in devolving into a non-payoff team

I think if you look historically those changes work out worse more times than not. Belichick has said he doesn’t want back in the NFL but I see your point.

Every single spot for us was short. I’m not a conspiracy guy but it really causes you to wonder. The one where the ref facing Josd had us get the first down but is overruled by the other guy with no vision of the ball was absurd.

Belichick has said he doesn’t want back into the NFL. And sorry but McCarthy isn’t the answer. You want to bring in a coach that you are saying is kinda dumb? Take a deep breath.

Not because of you. Because of reality. McD could be replaced if he has lost the faith of the team. People are Ali yelling about replacing Brady, but from all appearances Brady and Josh have worked very well together. We have to beat a team that is the NFL equivalent of Jordan and the Bulls.

Well there you are then. It is possible you change McD if he has lost the faith of guys in the locker room but there’s no evidence of that.

You’re emotional over the loss. We all are. But you’re not being at all realistic about any of this.

Yeah. This will happen. Give me the names of 2 HCs that you think would be absolute upgrades and would achieve what you want. Two that are better than Reid.

Do you deny they’re better? Not by a ton, by a razor’s edge maybe. But they are.

Yes we do. You get into the playoffs you have a shot. In the drought when we were not in the playoffs we didn't.

They brought two guys off from our right and Josh shifted protection to the left. So the CB had no one near him to pick him up.
