I don’t care if it’s related. I’ll move it later. fuck the raiders! tonight was an epic choke!

This defense isn’t taking the ball away. 6th worst ratio in the nfl

They are nearly 6ypc since Tenn. they are killing people up front yes, I’m referring to the corners id rather thornhill whiff trying to make a big play than what he’s doing now. Nothing.

They better do something. It’s one of the things I’ve noticed after re watching games. Seth wrote about it too. as a group, they aren’t doing either thing well as a foursome. They can’t pressure or stop the run without scheming shit up. If the chiefs come up short of a superbowl, it’s going to be on the dline imo.

I just watched the game for the 3rd time and here is what I saw- I focused on red zone , oline, and Chris jones - red zone- they absolutely don’t want to run the ball in the red zone which is just ridiculous. (Especially from 8-15 yards out) No one is expecting it so do it. First drive against cincy they get down there and run it on first for 7 yards- then two failed passes. The oline mauled cincy. oline- they are tremendous in the run scheme. We know what they are in passing downs. Just average. The coaches have started to lean run as we have seen, now they need to trust it everywhere. I know we have Pat, but manning, elway, Brady et Al at the end of their careers rode the run game for Super Bowl victories. (Brady early in his career) Chris jones- he was effective - all this talk was non sense. He was in the backfield on the runs plays. He faced double , triple teams regularly. He was getting whamed and chipped. Those other clowns need to win one on one. Burrow was magnificent in the pocket slipping and sliding. penalties- those two penalties were momentum killers and bullshit calls. however, chiefs had the lead again and couldn’t hold on. the bengals have held pat to under 300 yards and his lowest ratings in all 3 games. Unless they show they can stick to the run and execute for 60 minutes, the bengals will beat them again. It’s just a rough matchup. Burrow is Brady in the pocket, so you need instant pressure. It’s gonna take a perfect game. the db’s are great. In this league they are doing what they can… without all the holding etc. they would benefit from some pressure as we have seen in other games chiefs dline is getting pushed all over in the run game. The front four can’t stop the run on their own. They can’t rush the passer on their own. This has to be a focus next year. Thornhill is pedestrian.

In a nutshell

They had a first down and didn’t run it once after killing them on the ground

Some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever read the bengals had one plan, stop Chris jones. In the playoffs and big games the opposing coaches clearly are narrowing their scope. 11 games of tape showing one guy doing work. how about maybe some of those ass hats who are one on one get some pressure ? Chris jones is the best interior lineman in football at this moment

Telling no lies

Exactly. our db’s are gonna start making plays too. They’ve have literally had blanket coverage all year. They will learn to break them up abs start anticipating

I mean seriously, they don’t even break up passes or anything. I’m trying to remember

The safeties make ZERO plays.

Fact of the matter is 0-3 at the moment.

3 games 3 field goals

Chiefs offense didn’t score after 3:49 in the 3rd. 18:49 to go in the game and no points. not sure what it is about the cincy defense

Even the final play was great coverage

Wish mahomes would take what’s there in the stressful moments sometimes the check down was so wide open. he’ll keep learning

Yup

No hardman, no Toney. That matters. all the speed and play making at wr missing. That will help later But ultimately the chiefs defense was bad
