This was one where they tried to sneak the mic on him without telling, at the end he says he figured it out in the 2nd Q. They've done that with him before.. Seems a bit invasive to not even tell, but I guess it's part of what you sign up for

I thought you were going to say then you wrote a book from all the posts in that thread 😛 Congrats - I'm sure it was rewarding during the process to bring back all those memories from your past

One thing I've been thinking with the talk of how they are willing to let teams run, is how a season full of opponents bludgeoning you in the run game might contribute to wear/injuries on defensive players

I was wondering about the surgeon who performed the surgery. Don't top arhletes normally pick one of the leading surgeons in the country do do their surgery- I assume in this case they needed to act swiftly, wonder if it was just whatever surgeon was on call or if they had more options to try to get at least a top local guy (especially since it seems like it was more complicated than a run of the mill ACL)

I'm wishy-washy on this signing

Saleh is all gasbag no brake

Some good discussion on this page on the defense. One of Babich's favorite lines in PCs this year as reason for defense not performing is some variation of "the rush is not in sync with the back end". It seems he says it every week. I don't know why he can't fix it. To go along with that, as has been mentioned, even when the play call is good (and presumably the 'rush is in sync with the back end'), guys are just missing tackles. After the Dolphins game I saw an analysis of a bunch of the 3rd and long plays that were given up and in each case the call worked perfectly (corner blitz, simulated pressure etc) and in each case some guy was right there to make the play and whiffed. One thing Babich and McD are always careful to do is never throw an individual under the bus and when asked about a play that later is revealed to be a simple poor individual tackle attempt etc they always describe as an 'execution' issue I'm also starting to get a little skeptical on Babich - esp when every week he says the same things about getting off the field on third down, gap integrity, 'rush in sync with back end'. My hope is that with people out and rookies playing etc the defense we are seeing now is not the one we will see at the end of the year and in the playoffs (one thing that gave me hope in preseason was Babich mentioning the defense needing to get off the field quick this year to get the ball in Josh's hands, which seemed to indicate a more aggressive approach - but we haven't seen it so far)

Oh you may be right. My point that Bosa didn't hustle still stands though 😛

It was Bosa, and "hustling" is not exactly the description I would use - they even commented on it on the broadcast. The lack of hustle is what caused the TO - he took forever getting off the field which is what precipitated calling it. The fact that it was 'not needed' was more due to Rattler not being savvy enough to take advantage and hike the ball as Bosa was glacially getting off the field EDIT - actually they didn't use a TO on this play so ignore

Fully expect this to be full of posts about how tough the Pats are and how scared people are of them. Vrabel is a Meathead, McDaniels is a POS cheater, the owner is a POS human. F the freaking Pats to hell - CRUSH the MFers

Kc is like the old Pats - cockraches that won't die

Gonna be hard to watch all the Chiefs ball washing tmrw

Dang if rams could have fallen on that strip

He was laying some good hits today too

Eventually I may get over it, but still soooooo pissed Daboll didn't play Dart last week. Chiefs most likely would be 0-3 if he showed just a shred of HC ability Just such gross incompetence by him last week - such an idiot

On to the NE Meatheads

If stupid Daboll had played Dart last week Chiefs would prob be 0-3 Charger loss great for 1 seed - rooting for Balt now so Chiefs stay behind in div race

Shades of Tommy Doyle finishing with a torn ACL

Gonna set a record for most different kickers in a season

Nice job on the hold there

Cape goes on

Hoping they are not going to say he pinned it against his leg and good catch

Not losing turnover battle streak intact!

No replay?

Good clean up by bishop
