Success

For the record - Elam did not get "burned" on the long Hill completion. He played it pretty well - it was just a great throw and catch.

I'm so happy for Tyler Bass. It has been a rough time for him - and that might just be a kick that can make him feel all kinds of confidence going forward.

Feeling a Von sack here.

Probably gonna have to be a turnover w/ them in 4 down territory.

All we need is a hold from the defense. Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

We're not worthy of Josh Allen. And that's okay.

Most teams do not have defensive HC's anymore. If you have one, he's gotta be incredible at DEFENSE. This defense has talent. The philosophy is weak.

It was bad tackling/angles - but also, you can see how their OC sets up the blocking SO much better than what we have. There is real design to those plays.

We often challenge when we shouldn't - then fail to challenge when we should.

Still - Elam is a great ball hawk.

Glad Beane is seeing all this before the trade deadline. We need an impact player on D.

We haven't given up many points - but this D leaves a lot to be desired right now.

Ray Davis is a joy to watch.

Honestly, Elam didn't play that too badly.

Too bad w/ Bass - felt like he was getting his confidence back w/ the long kick.

I'll tell ya - that play call on 4th was NOT GOOD. It can't be drop back and scan the field for the open guy.

Great to get the fumble - but the D doesn't look like it made any adjustments. The DB's all sprint backwards on just about every play. It always seems like we're so afraid.

Gotta win now. I don't want to be thinking about that phantom call - truly phantom - the whole week. I'm really having a hard time letting that go. It was the 2nd holding call in a row. That's gotta be egregious to throw a flag - and instead, it didn't even exist.

Honestly, at least it was good to see Bass make a long one. His confidence seems to be coming back.

I just don't get that - 2 holding calls in a row had better be CLEAR. You are taking a team 20 yards back. I didn't even see anything on the 2nd call.

We play such a safe defense. They have to be more disruptive. They have the personnel - the coaching needs to be more aggressive.

Shouldn't Babich be adjusting to the fact that they're running w/ ease?

Everyone says the Chiefs schedule is easy, but they could lose 3-4 games by the end (imo). They're winning a lot of one-play games, and the percentages will catch up w/ them. I still see them w/ the 1 seed, but I think it will still be up in the air heading into the last couple of weeks of the season. We have to beat them, and probably lose no more than 1 the rest of the way. Possible, but not probable. Getting the 2 seed wouldn't be so bad if it means a team like the Ravens would play KC in the divisional.

That's what I was thinking last night. Like, why do my teams always find a way to beat themselves? That was just an utter disaster. I think I saw that was Judge's first error of the entire season.

Sad to hear this. I always enjoyed his posts. RIP.
