    Shavers must be a really good blocker.

     

    He was outstanding yesterday.

    Really got after it. 👍

    Ingram played way too much.  He was a liability out there. 

     

    I said the same thing in the game thread.

    That game was way too big for him and I was hoping the Bills could find a way to manipulate him off the field in the 2nd half.

    With too many injuries on D, it created a ripple effect and they were forced to rely on their patchwork dime packages more than they wanted, imo.

    Patty hasn’t had to make a business decision in a while.  I think that might be about to change.  
     

    Josh got hit way harder against the Lions last year if I recall, without a flag…and he completed the pass. 

     

    I cannot believe Mahomes didn't bruise the back of his brain.

    Then he got up and immediately dropped one in a shoebox for 25 down the sideline.

    I hope the time he's about to spend in and out of a cold-assed tub starts making that body skittish on weekends.

    We've seen a lot of snarling and kvetching about Mahomes tendency to flirt with the sideline and mess with defenders to buy time or space. He messed with it it again today and Epenesa almost murdered him for it.

    I'm wondering if the only reason he didn't get flagged was because stripes are well aware of the issue and don't care for it either.

     

     

     

    I didn't notice this til seeing this replay but I love the fact that Hancock's unconscious instinct is to push Bosa into Mahomes so he gets a piece too. :lol:

    Was that one of the plays where there were alignment/communication issues? It’s all a blur lol. Not that he hasn’t called a timeout to draw something up that didn’t work before though anyway 😂

     

    The preparation issue forced him into 2-3 over the course of both halves, but there's been so many of them that you're 100% correct that it's becoming a blur.

    And you can also add in yet another in the 2nd half where he insists on rescuing an opponent from themselves on a crucial down. The man is clearly a true and generous sportsman.

    I was really surprised we didnt get a single roughing call the way AJ and Bosa were slamming and driving him into the ground. Loved every second of it. 

     

    My mouth while the ball was in the air on the sideline one: Hohohoho, that's gotta be a flag :lol:

    My mind while the ball was in the air on the sideline one: <that might have been one of those that was a bargain for just 15 yards>

    Yeah this totally happened today - dad brain Josh lol.

     

    How about some guys go through streaks, without some weird conspiracy reason/checking a box.

     

    So much being poured into "Josh doesnt look like himself", it must be something outside of football.   How about Josh shoots it straight in press conferences and says hes been off on reads/rushing his footwork. 

     

    I'd say he checked another box by beating Mahomes again - pregnancy theories aside.

     

    He has been off on some reads.

    But it was a gag.

    I disagree.

     

    They aren't a patchwork mess.   They will continue to get Max more % of snaps.  But they played well today --- Bishop, on down.  Many guys stepped up.  KC had been rolling and it wasnt just the front 4.  Mahomes had time on many occasions , and we got key PBUs, Bishop and others.

     

    Have you considered that McD is finally calling the defense again and the secondary is getting dialed in?  They have a plan on getting Max more involved and Hancock as well.  

     

    2 weeks in a row where defense steps the F up. and we are calling the secondary " a patchwork mess"?  Weird timing, I strongly disagree.

     

    There's just too much confusion out there at key moments. It's better with McD having the call sheet, but it's still not good enough to get us where we want to go, imo.

    The sooner they start committing to the younger guys to start and stay out there, the better off they're going to end up down the road.

    The defense was coached well. But the usage of timeouts was ridiculous. The 4th and 17 was stopped on the original play, he gave them a free do over. The head coach can't freeze up in critical moments.

     

    I agree with this, but I would change "The defense was coached well" to "The defense was called well".

    Because the problems we've seen with preparation under Babich have in no way whatsoever diminished.

    You picked the game they held a future 1st ballot HOF to <50% competition rate to call out the secondary?

     

     

     

    They are a patchwork mess right now and if the DL hadn't been repeatedly working over a weak KC OL I think they may have ended up in big trouble.

    My point is to address the lack of cohesion by committing to your ultimate starters now instead of continuing to juggle your way through it.

    It really seemed that. Both games this did not look like the same D

     

    There are a few other additions that can help like Max, Ogujonbi, both the Jordans...

     

    But hoect is one guy who is so unique you can't just next man up that

     

    Actually I was referring to Oliver as our best defensive player, but Hoecht is definitely one of the only two significant FA acquisitions we made.

    He was repeatedly impacting the game at multiple positions and that loss is going to seriously hurt.

    Sometimes elite players make elite plays.  When Josh pulls some insane play out of thin air, it’s not because the other coach is an idiot.  It’s because Josh is a freak.  Mahomes is pretty good.

     

    The throw he made immediately after Epenesa tried to kill him when he was flirting with the sideline again made me take my hat off and tip it to him.

    Alls i know is without the timeout, Mahomes was flinging it up for grabs under duress with very little hope. But there was a timeout by McD.

     

    I do not freaking understand how somebody in the organization isn't crawling up his ass about his insistence on bailing teams out of their own chaos over and over and over again. I don't hate him but that single issue means that if I ever sit next to him on a plane, he's going to punch me for sure.

    They’ve had this problem with experienced secondaries as well. 

     

    Not like this they haven't.

    They're generally ranked NFL middle of the pack on 3rd downs and they weren't as bad as a couple plays made them look tonight, but those handful of plays were a horror show we rarely see and are the kind of game-changers that will cost you wins eventually.

    Every secondary gets worked sometimes but tonight was beyond the pale at times, imo.
