Beane better concentrate on making trades.

The offense scored 14 points and had multiple chances to win the game. Its starts with the guy you pay 50 million a year.

Talent is not good enough. The WR group is an abomination.

And still played better than the offense.

Yes

Holy hell the linebackers blow.

Dorian Williams should never be on the field.

Made two bone headed plays on the catches he made. Just an absolute moron.

Chris Olave should be on this roster tomorrow. Its time for Beane to call WGR, apologize, and make a move.

Yes

Two weeks in a row one of those plays has been dropped 14 points...

Nothing new. Except Josh has joined him and isnt bailing him out anymore

I dont want to hear another thing about the defense. The offense blows and the QB is sloppy as hell right now.

Right now its Mayfield. I'll get back to you after tonights game.

They drafted Malik Willis while he was there too. He had plenty of chances to draft and develop a young QB during his time there. Part of being a head coach is helping to evaluate which QB to draft, and then when given that player to help him develop. Part of that is on Vrabel. Had Allen not developed McDermott wouldnt have a job either.

He was 7-10 and 6-11 in back to back years. He lost 7 straight games to end the year in 2022. He also was part of the brain trust that drafted two busts at QB. Vrabel is a good coach but stepping into a great situation at QB in New England has started a weird sort of mythology about him.

I think he has been better than last year, particularly catching the ball. That said he still isnt fast or clever enough to run a full route tree, thats a big concern. If he cant figure that out he becomes a situational player only. When a wideout is able to run the full route tree exceptionally well, you go from trying to win the lottery on catches you mention above, to working for a paycheck, making cash on every down. Part of this is on Brady. You have to put Keon in better positions to do what he does best. slants, curls, Ins, outs, comebacks etc. Until he gets more crafty with his releases and route running ability he is just useless on gos, corners, and posts.

I put my hand out to shake McKellers hand and he pushed it away. Too busy flirting with the two blondes behind me in line. I feel like Dennis Shaw would have at the very least shook my chubby eight year old hand.

Only if you eat a bunch of Spanish rice with it first. That was part of the story as well.

Life has beat him up enough. He's essentially a loser outside of his Chiefs fandom. My everyday life would be a dream come true for him. My sports life is another story.

When I was a kid my Father took me to the Thurman Thomas show at the Eastern Hills Mall. That night I met Keith McKeller and JD Williams. Got a football signed by them. A year later my Chiefs loving cousin from Missouri visited and popped my signed ball with a fork. The same year my Dad died. Fast forward to today where I have to hear the same cousin gloat about the Chiefs in group chats all the time. I still have the ball, its still poppped, my father is stll dead, and the Chiefs never go away.

He and Bo Nix are adoptive brothers. Pretty cool story.

Its likely Worthy ends up having a worse year statistically than Coleman. That said, the optics of the trade will continue to haunt Buffalo until they are both out of the league.

I am going to be completely honest. I dont understand the physics of how a ground cannot help secure a ball to hands if the bottom of the ball is touching nothing but ground. I also fully admit I have no idea what a catch is beyond what a referee tells me. If there is that much nuance between what is and isnt a catch I am not going to involve myself in it.

Were his hands under it though? I legitimately dont recall? From memory it looked like he hand two hands on top of the ball and there was nothing behind pig skin and the ground.
