That our receivers drop the ball too much when Allen hits them in the hands perfectly? Perfect throw, it needed to be caught.

And Baltimore.

Diggs left before the coaches even got to the tunnel, was talked into coming back by Duke Johnson but then left again after a few minutes. Not a great look for a team captain.

The Chiefs literally let Hill walk because they wouldn't pay him. Chiefs didn't even have a WR with a $5 million cap hit this year. MVS was the highest at $4.8 million. Not them. The Raiders top 2 WRs made had a cap hit of $16 million combined this year. Nope, not them. Chargers yes...Bucs yes. Look what happened to them. The correct model is an elite 1st rounder on a rookie deal paired with a legit high priced #1.

I think they need a new DC but they won't. Frazier's schemes even with high level talent are exposed by good offenses in playoff games. I'm wondering if we could get more out of what we have in those situations with a different scheme. It would be hard to get less. It's like he coaches scared and gives up free yardage to not get beat deep

There is no way you can afford to pay 2 WRs #1 money. Every team in the NFL relies on a true #1 and a guy on a rookie deal. Look around and find me one team that pays 2 WRs #1 money. You won't find me one because there isn't one.

Especially if the Jets get a competant vet QB. Even Carr makes them a LOT better than they were this year with that D and the young skill position players. Fins have no 1st round pick this year.

But they weren't a great defense...they just took advantage of officials not making calls against them. Kudos to them. They didn't get away with it in the SB and got flagged often and blown out.

Because every team hits on all draft picks?

Maher again!!! I can't believe it!

So KC has a great defense? Or one that just plays situationally well?

Dallas D looks quite nasty as well

That's how KC does it. However their DC gets the most out of his talent in big games unlike Frazier who seems to do that until we play a really good offense, then he gets exposed.

I doubt that will be one of the demand made of him. In fact I know it won't. That's what I am saying. If they are going to continue running this scheme they need to focus on the offense. They simply need to outscore teams in the playoffs.

It's a scheme issue IMO. They give up way too much when they try and take something away. It makes sense because year to year it is much easier to stay consistently good offensively than it is defensively. This has been studied. Much higher correlation year to year with good offenses versus good defenses. So if they are going to not be good when they play good offensive teams then they need to outscore them.

I just answered why. You must never have had to endure a significantly rough stretch and then had to continuously perform under it if you don't understand how this happens. At some point doing it over and over again with no breaks or downtime it just wears on you mentally and emotionally which then becomes physically. The answer is, it's simple. Football players are human beings not robots

If I was Beane I would sink the majority of resources into the offense. We've seen the defense get smoked in the playoffs all 3 years in the losses with all the picks and All-Pro players. If they can't stop anyone when it counts then they damn sure better make sure they can protect Allen, have WRs that get open other than Diggs and let the offense go toe to toe...

Didn't see one so I will start it... 49ers CBs playing aggressive against the Cowboys talent. Bills should have tried that a little more often

Yeah his first game.

Based on what? A healthy Mahomes hasn't been able to beat Burrow. Now a severely hobbled one is going to?

Not even close. Marvin Lewis lost in the first round every year for like 8 or 9 straight years McD only lost in the first round his first season.

Tomlin won 2 Superbowls

I was afraid they might look like this. I didn't want to say anything because people would have likely yelled at me for jinxing them, but even last week...they had to expend way more energy than they should have to beat a Dolphin team with their 3rd string QB. Just think the tank was on E and there was nothing left to give and even with everything on the line they just couldn't muster anything else

Emotionally and mentally spent. Just had nothing left to give.

It's taken me a while but our scheme just basically relies on Allen to be a superhero too much. Basically if he is off, or the other team has a great scheme against him, we have a hard time consistently playing well on offense. Sure we will get our plays because Allen is still Allen. But it's got to the point that we need to stop taking that for granted and get him some help. It's like when you have a great worker who can make up for 3 people being out by piling more work on him. Sure...that works for a while but then you eventually burn that worker out and when something comes up that needs all his attention other areas start failing since he can't bail them out. I guess what I am saying is we need more answers on offense that don't include Josh Allen being an alien, because our offense relies on that more than any other in the NFL.
