Probably exactly what you see from Spags next week combined with different blitz packages to put even more pressure on Josh. The Falcons' blitzes gave Josh and the oline problems. Expect that from KC in spades.

Basically every receiver not named Shakir is a problem. We need a true X receiver and while Palmer is serviceable, he's still not the answer and with him injured it's moot anyway. Keon is a big slot guy and nobody will convince me otherwise. Trying to put him on the outside doesnt work and the proof is in the pudding. It's trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

TBF, it's not just TJ either. Even Benford, who we just paid, hasn't looked good. In man coverage, they're all a couple steps behind and can't close on the ball. Our entire secondary just looks slow. That's what Max brings to the group that's lacking...closing speed. You don't see a lot of PDs from our secondary for a reason.

Which is also why I hate the play. Especially when it can often result in the WR getting clobbered all for a couple yards. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

I'd do it. Our first picks have basically almost been like 2nd round picks anyway given where we pick year after year and given the lack of success with ours in recent years, I don't see it as giving up a ton when it addresses a clear and present need for this team.

Carolina knew the game was over. They weren't playing with any urgency or intensity in the 4Q. We were running it down their throat because we had that luxury this game. What happens in games we don't against good teams? On paper, this WR room should've been at least on par with last year or better. It's not. It's bottom tier in the league. Nobody is doing much of anything other than Shakir. We're actually missing Mack Hollins. He made lots of big catches for us.

True, but it was garbage time when Mitch was in. Tough to compare the two. Against teams like KC, having nobody the D has to respect on the outside is a problem.

Still hoping Beane pulls the trigger on a trade for WR. Cook looks fantastic as usual but receivers still struggling to separate and Josh looks frustrated. Moore is terrible and I doubt he's playing on most other teams. With Palmer out, we really have nothing on the outside.

Davis doesn't look like the same guy from last year and they really aren't using Ty like they did last year either.

7 I believe.

He was definitely going to be on a pitch count today. Easing him into it.

Has seemed to always be a step behind all season.

If they thought they needed a WR, that decision was probably already made prior to this game if they decide to go get somebody. I don't think this game really plays into it. Even still, passing game didn't look great today.

Hoecht is in on the QB on almost every pass. Great sign.

Probably wasn't happy with that blitz call on the screen that Carolina almost scored on. I think that was still Babich.

Hoecht almost got to Dalton again on that. He looks good.

Dalton has looked pretty bad and has been helping them out, but the D front has looked pretty good today. Probably lost Oliver for the season though if rumor of torn bicep is true.

Yep and just on 18 carries I recall.

Surprised Cook is still in.

D front looking really good today. Dalton isn't Mahomes though.

Cook is insane. 200+.

Hoecht has been in a bunch from what I've seen. They're taking it slow with Max. Not sure what's up with Ogunjobi.

Let him get to 200. Needs 6 yards.

He's a better version of Beasley. He should get way more targets than he does. And I'm not a huge fan of the WR screen Brady seems to like so much.

Shakir baby. All YAC. Still would love another threat at WR brought in.
