BillMafia716ix Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’m tired of 14 not showing up when it counts in the playoffs. Whose fault is it going to be this year?

PBF81 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Sherfield sucks as a WR. Why anyone thinks differently is a mystery. As to Davis, the forum's favorite whipping boy, he's been our biggest producer in the playoffs in '21 & '22 with a 70% catch%. He had over 40% of our WR receiving yards and 75% of the WR TDs. Beasley & Sanders had three only two other TDs. Either way, this was KC's best road game for their offense this entire season. That's inexcusable given the circumstances. Their receivers, most of which suck, were wide open at opportune times for them much like in the 13-Seconds game. That's a coaching issue. How TF do you leave Kelce wide f'n open at key moments. Mr. Defensive Guru failed again in the playoffs. I'm curious who gets thrown under the bus this time. But hey, the eighth season against tougher competition will be the charm. Yeah, that's it.

Luckily we have emerging stars in Shakir and Kincaid to build around. Would love Pittman from Indy and a day 1 or 2 WR to develop Chiefs had 8 plays of 20 yards or more and we had 0, Allen ended up with 186 yards and that was the difference because it was so many passes around the line of scrimmage and WR's not getting separation or just dropping passes. This needs to improved and while running the ball is important this will always be a passing league. We scored just 7 points in second half, that is not beating Mahomes. It's pretty obvious that Diggs is not a guy you can count on in big playoff games. We have no receiver that can turn a 10 yard pas into a 20 plus yard play. More speed is needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a huge fan of Diggs but he losing me. I’m convinced he’s hurt. His production fell off a cliff round the Bucs/Bengals games. He wasn’t himself as a player, he was even subdued on the sidelines. I bet we find out he had cracked ribs or something and played through it like the ultimate team player, which should totally destroy the “selfish diva” media narrative.

Toyo321 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I missed any receiver that could catch the ball when we need it the most. We have two true receivers on this team and their names are not Digg's or Davis. Its Kincaid and Shakir. They went away from Kincaid in this game too. You have to scratch your head on the play calling and execution at the end of this game. If you know that only the underneath stuff is working all game long and you decide to change that up in the last two minutes of the game, that is why this team fails. They do not know how to win when it matters with what has been given to them by the opposing team. Onto next year, ughhh.....

His other worldly ability to block in the run game wasn't a glaring downgrade and it's almost hysterically ironic that you say that Mr. Drops-a-lot would have made those catches. The offense averaged 17 PPG the last two weeks of the regular season, both times against crap defenses. Last week we had only 203 passing yards. If that's a flow, great, but some points would be nice. Seemingly unnoticed by McD apologists is that our offense has scored less under Brady and Allen has often been relegated to being a gamer manager. If not for his rushing we wouldn't even have a winning record. It's a fair speculation to think that Brady's done what McD has instructed him to do in the name of " Complimentary Football," and turned Allen into a short-yardage game manager to support his defense. Unfortunately McD's defense doesn't work out beyond the Wild Card round in the playoffs. The youngster will learn at some point. Maybe when he's coaching a different team after Allen retires having left career passing yards and TDs on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBDawg15 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Kincaid wasn't targeted from the 10 minute mark of the first quarter until there were 8 mins left in the game. Zero redzone targets.

Heavy Kevi Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Gabe and Josh just aren't reading the same book, let alone on the same page. And they seemingly are never in sync with what Gabe is supposed to do. Lots of what looked like bad passes where Gabe didn't run the route Allen thought he would. Gabe was missed is the perfect thread title, and it's because he ran a crosser when Josh was expecting him to run a comeback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
