Yeah you said they ranked really highly. They didn’t. 26th in yards per drive 18th in points per drive. 29 in third down %. They ranked highly in forcing turnovers and were otherwise below average to bad.

The defense did not rank highly last year.

So we are down to start over again on offense and risk another Dorsey when Brady gets an HC job but not down to start over on defense?

What reports are you referring to? when he was in college 2 years ago?

You are wasting your time FWIW. wait a week and he will be posting about how nobody can name any other HC candidate. It’s Groundhog Day.

Basically the only coach the team McD folks would hire is Andy Reid. But, you know, if Andy Reid is willing to quit the Chiefs and go to the Bills, who knows if he would do that here? Plus, he's old. better to just stick with McD!

The reason this is still discussed. led both teams in receiving yards in a playoff game we lost to the Chiefs, again.

What you are missing is the pursuit of the truth. Wholly negative propaganda to offset positive propaganda doesn’t seem right. I wouldn’t say the reports out on Caleb Williams this year have glowing at all, I don’t know what you’ve seen otherwise?

I don’t know why you’d think he’d be done. He is in a no-lose scenario. He gets to write a nice editorial narrative sandwiched in between probably true quotes, and if he’s “wrong,” he can fall back on “just reporting what my sources told me.” he gets to live in an island where he can pretend to be just following journalistic standards if he’s wrong, and look very smart if he’s right and rinse and repeat. What are the odds the next long form piece Ty Dunne article is inside the Cleveland Browns dysfunction and the Shedeur Sanders drama, with a bunch of quotes from an anonymous Stefanski or whoever gets fired from that hellhole next year? Even money I think.

My issue isn’t that he takes shots without substance. My issue is pretty concisely laid out previously. Do you find it counterproductive when someone posts Stephen A Smith’s silly opinion on something, and someone says “I try not to listen to this guy, because he kinda sucks?” Just seems like an extremely strange and unique hill to die on. Maybe if I charged $5 to read my posts, we could shame everybody who ignores me to stop being “counterproductive.”

“You need to pay $5 to read “Axe-To-Grind Monthly” otherwise you are just being a troll and maybe threatening the bastion of free speech!” Maybe if Ty Dunne didn’t make a deserving reputation of posting hatchet jobs, more folks would have an open-mind and actually pay to read his work instead of writing it off. You know. Vote with your wallet and all that? Thought that was just doing your part as a good citizen. I guess I NEED to give Dunne some more money to have an opinion on him. Do you own stock in Go Long?

They were elite defensively last year so it’s kinda not an overreaction tbh

The play is designed for them to run by each very closely and potentially “pick” a defender to spring the other one free. They both ran drags. At least one was positioned too close to the other and they collided. That’s not really “running the wrong route,” but the truth isn’t as pithy as “he sucks, he ran the wrong route.”

Do we think Kyle Long is a fan of the piece?

It was a mesh pattern so neither of them?

Totally respect you enjoying the content. i find the “I interviewed 30 people who have a million reasons to have bad things to say about X, and guess what? They have bad things to say!” pieces to be worth less than what Dunne’s substack costs. If it was free, maybe I’d get into the nitty gritty with you about it, but claiming that paywalled speech is being “killed” is certainly something lmao.

Ty Dunne picks the angle, then finds the sources and writes the article to find the conclusion he planned to find all along. Calling the predraft process where they eventually selected the clear cut #1 QB prospect all year at 1.1 “rigged” tells you all you need to know. It was totally “rigged” when the Jags took Trevor Lawrence too, I bet.

Rewatching, it looks like they ran a lot of 1 or 0 TE sets. they also would motion their TE (Conklin) to the outside of the formation occasionally.

Usually when you use quotations marks, it’s to quote someone.

What’s the old saying? even a talentless hack is right twice a day?

Maybe let’s pump the breaks on the victory lap until Monday morning.

You can learn from another NFL team without them needing to be better than you.

Do people still care what this guy types on Cheetos dust keyboard? Remember his “epic” takedown of McD that resulted in a 6 game win streak and the 2 seed? An unserious “journalist” whose claim to fame is being on speaking terms with jilted lovers Monos and Whaley

Who is KC elite #2 boundary CB that has carried Spags and their defense these last 4 seasons? Bashaud Breeland? Won an SB and went to 2 with Spags. Out of the league. Rashad Fenton? Won 2 SB’s with Spags. Out of the league. Jaylen Watson? Went to 2 SB’s with Spags and won both. 7th round pick. Missed all but 4 games last year. Who replaced him, to go to the SB, again? The Chiefs have largely had a very good CB1 and a very good slot CB and an unremarkable CB2. Hm, who does that sound like?? There was exactly ONE season where they had two good boundary corners. Sneed and Ward. They lost in the conference championship that year.
