Here come the flags to make this game close

Hold them to a fg here.

Someone's not doing their homework

Wow, blatant DPI

Eventually this lucky bubble of mediocrity has to burst...right?

This is not a dominant Chiefs team.

Too bad...without 5 turnovers, the Elves might actually be in this game. DTR & Ford should've played earlier.

Todd Bridges with another int

Hey Stefanovich...how bout you bench Chubb

Chubb is washed and worthless

Game ended on the fumbled punt.

Yup, after Jeudy they have nothing.

Andy Reid..." gouge out their eyes"...

Mahomes' deep throws are terrible today.

All eyes will be on the Bills D. Hopefully they were embarrassed and come out motivated. Josh will eat tomorrow.

Does the McRib come with that?

What is this the chicken or the egg? McD came first to the scene. He was instrumental in selecting (with Beane) our defensive players. For the most part they've under achieved against better opponents. This may be a cop out but it's a combination of both. And most fans (IMHO) are justifiably nervous going into the playoffs.

15/97/ 1td in our playoff game this year says otherwise. Sean's dominant defense held Pacheco to a mere 6.5 yards per run.

What for like 5 minutes and their players had no clue what to do because they've never been trained, coached or taught this strategy. Why do you think Elam sits on the bench every week. Sean sinks or swims with his zone. Take it or leave it. And when his guys are asked to man up they look like fish out of water. I don't know too many baseball pitchers that throw only 1 pitch.

But there lies the problem. He's hammered "into them"and trained his defense to be exclusively zone. So if by some emergency he faces a KC, Baltimore or Rams team that starts exploiting that scheme, he doesn't have a backup plan because his players can't play man or his DL rarely stunts with pre- snap movement. You gotta have a D that has more than 1 pitch to get guys out. I'd also argue that alot of these qbs you've listed (Tua, Purdy, Carr, Dak) are hardly elite and maybe not even "above average". Just because an organization is dumb enough to pay them elite money doesn't mean they are.

I don't dispute any of that. But it's fun to think about. Unfortunately with our current defensive scheme and personnel, I see our chances of winning a SB the same as getting struck by lightning.

Ben Johnson HC Jim Schwartz DC .....would be amazing...

Yeah tried to sneak one in there but should've known the brethren would call me out.

Exactly....I've been saying this since the day we drafted Josh. He's had absolutely NO game wrecking elite defensive player. And until Sean finds one, the result will be the same.

It's not just KC & Mahomes. This defense got destroyed by Cincy and Burrow. Even Skylar Thompson made us sweat. Where are the metrics there?
