How many years would belichick have to coach to even make this move worth it even if you do actually like belichick. The guy is over 70

Idk how you get to him…their interior oline is phenomenal and the tackles are just allowed to hold like crazy

It’s weird there wasn’t more interest for him…I mean I could totally buy the chiefs front office being much better than the rest of the league but the offer seemed pretty low ball so I doubt anyone else was really interested Is it 3 mil a year? I think the titans payed him some this season and the chiefs are only eating part of his contract this year. I’d assume next year would be more than 3 mil but could be wrong

I think part of this move is their front office knowing the juju injury is going to be nagging too though. So this move is like one step back one and a half steps forward. The people saying it doesn’t matter at all I don’t agree with but I don’t agree with the ‘all hope is lost people’ either lol if it was on top of a healthy juju and they were getting one of brown/rice back it’d be a little scarier for me

Can’t disagree about giving it to him if the season ended today but a lot of the buzz is recency bias…Lamar is coming off a hugeee game. There’s a lot of season left though

Haha I do think he’s a great offensive mind but the clock management thing and people completely ignoring his decades with the eagles is absolutely spot on. The guy was a game management disaster and always getting dunked on by his own fans and really anyone 🤣. All this talk that he is some wide receiver whisperer and never misses on draft picks kind of gets me too…he’s overseen/coached some absolute head scratcher picks over the years Belichick calling Freddie Mitchell ‘terrible and you can print that’ in the lead up to that pats eagles Super Bowl was one of my favorite things ever haha

They got burned a bit last year…yea it’s just a regular season award but they reached a bit giving it to him and he still didn’t shake the underwhelming in the playoffs label really so it didn’t come off well. could be wishful thinking but I don’t think they’ll be in a hurry to give it to Lamar again if other guys are comparable

They’ll give Josh his first before they give Lamar his third if it’s reasonably close imo especially given the bills were ‘supposed’ to take a big step back on offense. It very well may not be reasonably close though haha we’ll have to wait and see..that ravens offense is ridiculous

They’ve felt like a 5-1 team that caught a few very lucky breaks to me this year not that that’s not a plenty impressive record in its own right 🤣 Reid definitely sold his soul to the devil after his time with the eagles haha.

Even if we just wanna limit talk to recent edge rushers, I mean it’s still early but karlaftis/anudike-uzomah were both first rounders and I’d still take Rousseau/basham over that despite basham being straight up worthless lol karlaftis is pretty good and Rousseau is very good but maybe not quite great

1 seed qb is usually a decent estimate but I don’t see it happening this year…Lamar is probably way ahead of Goff right now in the betting odds despite those setting the odds having a good idea chiefs and lions have the inside track to the 1 seed I doubt Goff is even in the top 3

Diggs’ last game was such a vintage past prime Stefon game haha 7 targets for 23 receiving yards when 17 of that came on one reception

Just mentioned this in another thread and thought I’d throw it in here too…we’re 2nd in offensive dvoa after the titans game just ahead of Washington and Detroit but wayyy behind baltimore. Last year we were third offense has been so hard to evaluate this year because there’s so many objectively bad teams that have good defenses where it just feels like the offense is underperforming against a bad team

I really don’t trust Houston…I think we’ll be the 3 seed. Cj stroud seems to play so much worse when games are on the line and maybe we’re all a bit biased lol but I think it’s pretty clear diggs really didn’t move the needle at all for them. Collins won’t be back until at least week 10 so maybe they get upset by a lesser opponent in the next few weeks and they’ve got ravens chiefs lions on the schedule still so that kind of evens out our tough games. thank god baltimore lost those two games early lol at least there’s some chance they slip up and we pass them in win total

Feels like it’s not even just the drops with him lol. He just seems bad at tracking footballs unless it’s the 2023 playoffs 🤣

I think that’s opponents more than anything…the Texans defense is ridiculous and the ravens defense gave us problems because they’re good against the run and their issues against the pass were pretty minimized by our wrs we must be doing more right than we think because we moved up to 2 in offensive dvoa after this week…its by a slim margin but still 😂

Haha they have looked this unstoppable in the regular season many times

Looked like some absolutely horrendous holds on that screen

I think they’re partners in crime in underperforming lol their oline was not even close to nfl caliber in the past and they had nobody at the skill positions but I think there’s enough pieces in ny now where a good coach could have the team performing at least ok/a bit below average

This is sounding a lot like ‘if they weren’t really bad in the red zone and prone to big turnovers they’d be a better team’ 😂. Well yea but they are those things because they’re a bad team lol the ‘if’ game gets pretty murky…maybe Washington knew they could be conservative and settle for fgs because the giants didn’t have a kicker as one example. If you’re gonna un injure the giants kicker you change decision making for Washington too

I like how Troy aikman will complain about a few josh Allen almost ints before anyone talks about Patrick mahomes actual interceptions 😂

Somehow Daboll is the most overrated bills employee being discussed this year despite being gone a couple years 😂 the guy had limited cap concerns for his gm building the offense, no previous 5 year period of the team being dominant causing parity to throw talent acquisition for a loop, absolute prime Stefon Diggs, and still made as many boneheaded, bizarre playcalling decisions as anyone we’ve had since. there’s little doubt in my mind he’d be performing the same or worse at oc for us if we swapped him in for Brady

Gave away 4 points on a pretty uncharacteristic boneheaded taron johnson penalty too. Probably could’ve held them to single digits

There’s a lot more nuance than just ‘win percentage’ . if we had just eked out a 13-10 win against that defense that’s still a win, but lighting them up should definitely be worth something discussion wise also the main reason they only have one win was will Levis attempting borderline psychotic plays in close games and he didn’t even play in this one 🤣

There isn’t much of a fun ‘could X team dethrone the chiefs in the division’ angle anymore which leads to less chiefs objective analysis. We’ve had the whole ‘the jets and/or dolphins are gonna dethrone buffalo and here are the reasons’ the last few years I don’t personally agree but obviously we’re all guessing at this point lol so I can respect it they seem to have more exploitable weaknesses than I can ever remember them having. Obviously still a huge threat I just don’t think they’re scarier than they’ve ever been they’ll probably improve some on offense but I don’t think the ceiling they can improve to is nearly as high as it has been in the past.
