After Allen had already torched us for 100+ yards and one TD, we eventually put Leonard Johnson on him. Keenan was limited to 40 yards and only one TD after McD and Frazier caught on. Those are the kind of late 3rd quarter adjustments that win super bowls. Edited November 27, 2017 by Jauronimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to hand it to some degree to McD for going back to it after it backfired so badly the week before. But the last few games, when the defense was getting gashed, he didn't really do much to try to take away the pass or the run, he played his weak zone with some blitzing but the blitzers weren't getting through and Rivers was throwing to wide open WR anyway.

Augie Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I’ve got to give him a ton of credit for turning around what was looking like a death spiral! That was 3 weeks of ugly football, but they came out prepared. Now....if we could score some more points.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The realism was from taking a shot at an unquantified, unknown entity rather than expecting Tyrod to transform into something he isn't overnight. The chances of the latter were hovering around zero, so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense was putting up points last year, now it's surprising when we get more than one TD a game. Just the entire production of this offence have fallen off a cliff (compared to last season)....so yes Dennision i agree is very very putrid OC as most can clearly see with this playcalling going on!

I feel like Dennison is the one who is holding the team back. McDermott has energy, discipline, etc. Just the opposite of Rex. Now I want to see if Dennison can either change the conservative nonsense, or is replaced next season (I know, I know, replacing your OC is not the type of continuity that winning teams thrive on). If McDermott lets Dennison continue next season with the same lame offense, then I will hold McDermott responsible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs time to build his team and I hope he gets it. Beane will have to do a good job for him. Dennison I am not so sure about. I don't like some of his situational play calling nor his calling in general. Whether a better QB and offensive talent in general changes that remains to be seen. Ditto !!!

Yesterday was a good win on the road after a three game free fall. It turns out that our early success was when we had the 10th easiest schedule in the league. We will see just how impressive yesterday's win was (or was not) depending on how KC finishes. It appears that they are in a free fall. I think we will have better perspective on McCoach after these two Patriot games coming up. We shall see.

Nick the Greek Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I guess he sorta fixed the defense. Either that or KC is truly awful on offense. Its probably a combination of the 2, but he deserves some credit for the defense being better. KC did have good running backs.

Hunt has looked slow for atleast a month now, Reid's play calling has been off as well. He had a run of stupid play calls in the red zone which started the their slide and yesterday it looked like he over simplified things. No passes to Hunt, no tosses to Kelce, Tyreek was a ghost.
