It’s just such a close and fast play when the defender is keyed in on stopping him from running up the sideline. I feel for the defender who needs to react at incredible speed on whether to shove or not. Keep in mind Mahomes has made a living pretending to step out of bounds and then tip toeing for another 4 yards. All that said it is a penalty, just unfortunate.

They get every break all year. It’s crazy.

He definitely gave him a shove out of bounds. Mahomes definitely flopped like a fish when he felt contact. Probably couldn’t believe his luck when the hand touched his shoulder.

Lol, I love the delayed head snap back a second after the contact.

We want him to play well so he bankrupts the Bengals with his contract.

Would love a pick 6 here

Who is Jones waving goodbye to? The game is at home and it isn’t over, lol.

Chiefs fans are trash and should suffer

I’m not sure why, but I feel like we would have played a lot better vs the Chiefs this week. Something about last week was just weird about the matchup or something. Bad vibes the whole day and no energy.

I think you mean no Levi Wallace

Hoping the Bengals win here and then get absolutely blown out by the Eagles.

Probably hoped to mix in more 3 LB looks this year, but Bernard struggled so it didn’t work out. Maybe next year.

Because we’re tight to the cap and a return man can be had for much cheaper. His cap hit could pay for half of a competent guard.

I think they bring back neither. The expectation is that Cook will carry the load and we’ll bring in a very cheap vet or late round pick to be the third down back. Hines can be cut with no dead cap. He’s probably a goner.

We didn’t have Saffold who seems worse than Williams at G last year. Spencer Brown also looked worse to me. He had off-season back surgery and didn’t have any training camp. For a big guy like him that can be a career killer. Idk if it’s on Kromer or Dorsey, but we only seemed to have like 2 running plays. Maybe get creative and add a few more for next year to make things more difficult for the opposing team.

If Edmunds walks and we draft his replacement, that frees up enough cap to sign a starting caliber o-lineman. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

I think Frazier doesn’t have a contract, so he doesn’t need fired. Maybe they are clearing out his guys that are still under contract.

I said Benford, not Bernard. Benford played safety in college some so it isn’t that big of a stretch. He’s also a late round pick, so if I were him I would do anything to get on the field as a starter.

Oliver’s 5th year option is fully guaranteed and his stats haven’t been that great. Idk if you will find a trade partner. Might have to sit tight with him and hope he improves.

I think they are going to give Benford every opportunity to win the starting safety job. This is a budget year and we need to find adequate cheap solutions where possible. Hopefully Hyde is well enough to return. Sounds like Poyer might be gone.

Hey pal, I think you might be lost. You’re looking for the “Reasons to be Pessimistic” thread, which is every other thread except this one.

If we sign a vet WR like Crowder this year he probably won’t break his ankle during the 4th game of the season. What are the odds that happens twice in a row?

Defense: - Don’t bring back Frazier. Look for somebody better or at least different. - Let Poyer walk unless he’s coming back at an absolute bargain. - Benford to safety - Let Edmunds walk (depending on input from new DC and scheme) - Sign vet UFA MLB that is cheaper than Edmunds. Think of D. Jones and T. Settle caliber signings last year. ^ We’ve already reduced the cap dedicated to defense here to be much more reasonable Offense: - Draft WR and G/C in the first three rounds of the draft - Insist that Dorsey develop a short passing/screen game - Maybe bring Crowder back if they liked him in the little bit of time he had before he got hurt. Otherwise look for a reliable vet slot WR on a good deal. - If they can manage the cap, look for a middle of the road vet right tackle. Special Teams: - Maybe ditch some of the higher cap specialists like Taiwan Jones - Bring back Martin If we can replace our worst players with okay ones (Saffold, Spencer Brown, WR2, slot WR, Jaquan Johnson, Hamlin, Marlowe) we have a chance to really improve if we can tweak some things in coaching.

Players have career years in a contract season all the time. The trick is to not fall for it and let them walk afterwards. Let some other team overpay them when they revert to their regular selves.

I hope he gets paid if that’s what he wants. It won’t be by us. If the market isn’t there for him because of his injuries it would be cool to have him back on a cheaper deal.
