I saw KC: 1. LT false start at least 1-2x 2. Kelce: illegal motion (diagnol upfield) on 1-2x plays and 1 uncalled OPI 3. OL holding: 2-3x uncalled, but this happens against everyone and most inconsistently called (other than DPI) Not saying we played a perfectly clean game. But complaining about a call that is "unbiased", Offside/false start/illegal formation, is just being juvenile and comes across as entitled. This wasn't a questionable holding/OPI penalty. Offside was clear, you don't get a warning for committing a penalty. You get a warning when you're close to lining up offside/illegally. Mahomes might wanna reconsider his reaction. Plenty of calls went their way earlier in the game.

We have a big hole at Wr2, simple as that. Doesn't take a defensive genius to realize that Gabse isn't winning 1-1 consistently. So you double/bracket Diggs on most downs, then focus on Kincaid. That means we need Cook and running game to be successful. For better long term success, we'd have Shakir or Harty be a consistent threat from the slot. That's been spotty, both guys have moments and I'm convinced we're wasting Harty (he is a talented player). But we need a Wr2, next year's draft is ripe for Wrs in first two rounds that can step in and be our #2.

Great win, doesn't matter what it looks like...we took care of business

Shakir or Gabe, they need to make a play on 1-1 coverage

And we just need 1 big play/drive to get rolling again. We have zero downfield passing game. I think we need to get Harty a chance, or Kincaid down a seam. Otherwise, if we stay small ball. Need to stay ahead of sticks and attack on 1st down

Difficult to blame defense/McD when the offense choked there

Reid almost held scoreless in 1st half...for first time in 5 years.... I'd say Reid is figuring it out. But McD had a great gameplan. We need to keep scoring on offense

Which is fine, we just need to finish

3 man front on 3rd down...even with 7 yards to go, would like to see us mix in some runs (power/traps). Same defense Cincy runs against us.

Bengals vs Colts...who we rooting for? Bengals 6-6 / Colts 7-5 Goal getting both these teams to 8 losses. Bengals: Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, Browns Colts: Steelers, Falcons, Raiders, Texans I'd say we root for Cincy, hoping they then lose to Chiefs and Browns. Colts then hopefully lose to Falcons and TExans

Not sure if the timing was confirmed/happened night before Bengals game. Perhaps that has been confirmed

Agree and disagree. This is going to generate clicks/business whenever it gets released. It becomes a bigger distraction in season, when the team is still in a playoff race. That's the "agenda" that Dunne has, is getting Sean fired

What are the players being asked? I think this is player support. They all specifically say "I know who Sean is"/what kind of coach he is. That's obviously support, outside of Torrence- both Murray and Sherfield "chose" to play here for this team and coach. They are reaffirming they know who Sean is, which reaffirms their decision to play here. They could have easily just said Sean spoke to us, leave it at that. Too many ppl reading into this

Exactly. It's the timing that bothers me the most. Content/messaging about MCD, some ppl read into it as a personal attack while others may not. I think it is, but having that "agenda" is part of being a journalist/writing an opinion. Timing is everything. Just like the "supposed" Brittany feud with Josh, night before Bengals playoff game. True or not, just making mention that the timing influences and impacts alot. Why did Dunne publish now? It would seem tat he wants it to derail McD/team, otherwise wait until after season

Admittedly, I haven't read every comment/78 pages up until now. Why is Dunne releasing this story/article now/right before our biggest game of season? There's obviously an agenda, even if you aren't convinced by his narrative in general. Like or dislike McD as our head coach, the article went over the top - on a personal level. Coaching errors/mismanagement in key situations/etc, fine...but this article went further. Creates an unnecessary distraction, during a critical gameplanning/lead up to game. Wait until end of season/offseason. Perhaps this is an additional catalyst for our performance, let's hope, but Dunne is dead to me now. Not that he cares, but it's unprofessional and hope he realizes there is a right way /time/more appropriate way to go about this. Not to mention interviewing some "pro-McD" sources, but perhaps they don't wanna waste their time with someone like Dunne.

In fairness, Bills have : Milano, Daquan, Tre all out. Yes, we've had to deal with it and Chiefs just got hit suddenly. No excuses, we still need to win. But let's not paint a picture of an unhealthy Chiefs vs healthy Bills squad. We are coming off a bye/rest, that's our advantage..plain and simple

We need a Jags win over Browns next week...hopefully Lawrence is ok

Yes...

That's horrible for them. Big jump in production for him and Nico Collins TY Need Houston to knock out some other "contenders" down the stretch...mainly Cleveland

No way...it's sunny again, game will start back up soon. Just need 20-30 min without lightning on radar

50/60 degree weather and sunny... To major lightning, rain, hail storm

Yeah too high for my liking still, given Browns play this yr. But I'm for Bpa. Since we have just 1 3rd rounder now, I'd rather see Wr round 1, then S/DT with our next picks. DT is an obvious early choice, given our lack of depth going forward

Agree, Torrence has at least been reliable/consistent for us (something we've lacked). Agree on Beane in general, hitting on starters/key depth. Problem has been finding/hitting on "stars", Kincaid has the look of a future star though. To keep up with big dogs, we need to find 1 every few seasons. I'd say we're back on track, if Kincaid continues to be a force. Ed has been a "star", need more though in general. The other problem has been the FA ROI on DL. Finally hit on 2 key ones, in Floyd/Daquan. But both FAs after this season. Going to need to keep "hitting" on his $4-$7m investments rentals. I like his approach, and getting Von looked great until the ACL, but we are now getting "old" and alot of cap tied up in serious-injured players

Perhaps been said already, but guessing that Von/Diggs commercial just got retired. Horribel situation, I feel bad for G/F (victim), if true...admittedly I might have missed recent info. Team might catch a break with Vons contract. If this was Josh (and it never would be), he'd be getting the "Big Ben" / rehab image treatment. So let's not fool ourselves about any moral high ground of team (guessing majority of fans as well).

I guess we shall see, but Allen/Diggs are surefire restructures IMO. Ed was added as an easy, afford another depth player. Beane liked his $1.7m rentals, which is what Ed would create. Needing 4-6 new starters, and likely 5-7 new primary/key backups, is the direction we are heading regardless. Starters: WR2, SS, FS, C / Key backups: Slot WR, Safety, OL, DT-2x, DE-2x... Beane will likely look to bring back Daquan. Then to the draft for filling a few backup roles (DT/DE, Safety/CB, OL) and starters (WR2, Safety, if we're lucky a C to compete). Main point, we easily can make moves to get under the cap. Difficult players to cut, but Beane had to realize that coming into the season (at least WRT Poyer/Hyde and Morse..Tre is unfortunate). It's a re-load through the draft and hope to find 2-3 1 yr rental guys to fill roles. Again, it's the vet/leadership that will need replaced which is the difficult part..but we have a strong core already
