Please suspend this hothead for at least a game or just announce that you’re sanctioning after game interaction to get violent. That’s a bad message to send to people in the stands.

I think he’s crushed by the blocked FG and the conservative play calls leading up to the FG attempt, when he moved the ball at will all 2nd half. He became embarrassingly aware of the futility of his special teams unit. He’s frustrated that after accumulating over 500 yds of offense, he lost. More importantly,we should be crushed by our secondary’s performance.

Under circumstances like Reid, Mahomes and Kenneth Walker, I think he’ll be productive. Not sure about vintage Cheetah, or even better than what Thornton looked like, but productive.

Do you think Kincaid and Shakir forgot how to play? This is a case where Brady is encouraging Josh to break the pocket and run whenever he sees DBs and safeties, who have been spread out tracking downfield patterns, have there backs to him. If you’re running with Cook and throwing multiple bubble screens to Johnson and Davis, how many targets to Kincaid and Shakir are there in the small amount of plays they ran in the game. The runs by Cook and Josh opened up crossers to Shakir that should have been a 75 yard TD in OT. Don’t you think he can be targeted more if Josh is not looking to run. Brady must expand the offense to get Shakir and Kincaid more involved if he wants to maximize our talent. Brady runs the show.

The Chiefs will sign Hill and be very formidable down the stretch with an easy schedule. We must beat them and lose no more than 3 more games to get home field.

The only reason for this is that Happy Hairston is not really an NFL cornerback. The sooner Beane trades for or at least signs a veteran the better.

The sky is not falling but if we want to be on the short list for a championship certain areas have to be addressed. First and foremost DC Leonard must find a way to shore up our pass defense. Rams receivers were seemingly uncovered and running free as we were protecting a 7 pt. lead with 90 seconds left in the game. Bishop looks lost and out of position, while Gardener-Johnson is a personal foul waiting to happen at any time. Our corners are Benford and a promising rookie(Igbinosian) who’s learning. The other guys either can’t stay on the field or can’t cover NFL receivers. The other problem is our reluctance to design or target throws to Kincaid or Coleman on a regular basis. We can’t depend on playoff teams to allow Josh to run wild every time. The offense has to become multi dimensional for us to be a serious threat.

I couldn’t imagine Josh having another lackluster performance in a stand alone national TV game after that aberration last week against NE. This was a historic, multidimensional display of QB talent never before seen before averaging over 10 yds per passing completion and rushing attempt. Our running game with Cook and Josh seems like a perfect complement to the type of passing attack Brady is designing without his #1 receiver.

It’s about time, it’s been 4 games. This guy can’t stay on the field and really doesn’t fit this team. If we could move him for a db or a lb it would be a win.

What did he forget how to play in the the last couple of games after being our best receiver the last few years? Brady has made a concerted effort to chase splash plays more with Moore, Kincaid and even Coleman and Palmer. Josh is not taking Shakir underneath throws as much. Now with Moore dinged up, and Josh under scrutiny for bad decisions, Shakir will be targeted more and will be more productive. Let’s not doubt this really talented player, who Josh trusts, after a drop and a fumble. Look at the back of his football card and just rest assured at the end of the season, he’ll have 70 to 75 catches for 750 to 800 yards, averaging 11 yards a catch. That’s nothing to sneeze at.

Beane has been rendered useless by Terry after giving him irreplaceable status in his organization. Clearly his performance cannot threaten his long term GM viability. Let’s look at his personnel decisions over recent seasons. His drafts which focused on D-line has been dreadful. Walker, is one of four drafted in the last 2 years who is legit and he came in later rounds. His early round selections have no impact. Our LB corp is so thin that if Bernard or Williams(and they’re not great)get hurt where do they go.The secondary featuring the likes of Happy Hairston and the rookie Igbinosian are not ready to stop NFL receivers. Bishop and Gardener-Johnson have shown flashes but did either of them make one play against NE to get us off the field. Bishop looks confused and Gardener-Johnson is a mental blowup/personal foul waiting to happen. Let’s turn to the offense. O-line is getting older but still efficient. His receivers the last 2 seasons have been Shakir and a bunch of underperforming draftees and journeyman. Bottom line, Beane should have been gone with Sean but Terry saw him as head of operations for Pegula industries rather than a legitimate NFL GM.

The question is can it be fixed with these players. Hairston to me, has not shown the ability to stay on the field or cover anyone in a one on one scenario. The rookie from Ohio State will be a player but he’s learning the league. Hancock looks good but he’s on the IR. Who else is there.

He looks confused and out of position on plays that are wide open where he’s not anticipating. In our entire secondary you can’t point to one player who’s playing at a high level. Sorry, this is a scary proposition and Leonard, who was a very good db, looks like he’s aware of the abilities of these players. It’s hard to fathom a team that doesn’t bring pressure and drops 6 or 7 in coverage, has receiver wide open in big spots. It make you long for the days of Taron Johnson White and Poyer.

Maybe Brady should understand, it’s his job to demand Beane bring in a veteran db so that he can be ready for Vegas. He shouldn’t look surprised when Leonard’s defense gets torched by Nicua and Adams. Beane freed up cap space by renegotiating Oliver and he’s waiting to be 3 and 3 to get some guy who’s working at a Domino’s during the bye. We know he’s never proactive.

Brady gave up on the run just when Cook got going. He didn’t however give up on bubble screens on 3rd down which got stuffed because Palmer whiffed on his block. Brady is learning on the job and he must take what the defense is giving you. Don’t try and show how explosive we can be,take what Josh and Cook can provide without exposing us to TOs on slow developing downfield throws so much. Without Moore, only Kincaid can take advantage of a LB or safety mismatch.
