Its why you don't build your team around defense.

You rarely have a good defense year over year.

Baltimore is unexplainable.

Pittsburgh had one of the best QB, WR and RB combos the game had seen.

It allowed them to build teh D.

Without Bell, Big Ben and Brown That team would have been average.

If the Bills had a halfway decent defense, they could have pulled this one off

Nov 3 is trade deadline day. I know nfl teams usually don't do much, but they need to make a move
- Michael Pachla


Carolina is playing well this year. Not a good trade partner.

Wonder if beane know's that there's 30 other nfl teams?

Agree, even 2 more stops would have made a huge difference. KC had some 3rd and longs and we still couldn't stop them.

Ha - Klein forced a fumble cuz he totally missed on the tackle on Kelsey and reached out and hit the ball.

Missed opportunities, mostly on josh. If he hits Beasley Over the middle, Singletary wide open in the flat or Diggs heading to the left side of the endZone, those all would have been Big gains. Brown also dropped a perfect throw on 3rd down on the first drive which can’t happen and diggs can’t come up with the Bomb in the back of the endZone.

McDermott played not to lose on defense hoping a Dline man or LBer could come up with a play, and they never really did.

Development isnt linear- josh will get better. KC lost 3 game’s in a row last year all with Mahomes at qb

you will not beat the chiefs if they only punt twice


all is not lost


the offense beat a good ram team, a good raider team and an under rated miami team

Hughes is mediocre,
and has been for years as a pass rusher
Giving him $10mil a year is ridiculous

Was just being a wise arse about it. But, regardless of the circumstances, he caused a turnover.

Agreed?

usually the d makes a few plays in sloppy weather


josh was meh, but had a bunch of drops and the d did him no favors

nor did the running game


josh literally won them 4 games on his shoulders


time for the d to earn their paycheck, and probably can leslie

Somehow he's survived 3 regimes. He must have one hell of a magnetic personality

Helaire got 6.2 yards per carry and over 160 yards


singletary and moss combined got 2.8 yards per carry and 42 yards


I think the rbs and o line need a come to Jesus moment

whoever gave him the last contract, structured it where you saved next to nothing if you cut him at the end of the contract

Disagree.

KC in the 2nd half was control the clock and keep the offense off the field.

Run the ball for 6 yards a clip and let teh clock roll.

IF they wanted to, KC could have gone to another level, IMO.

Gonna need to cut more than just Murphy to being in a few guys

He’s been fine previously as a #2 pass rusher
Just not as our #1
I was surprised when he got this latest deal with us

When your best dlineman tonight is a guy off the practice squad, you’re in trouble.

Next draft we need a DE in the 1st rd and a LB in the 2nd round. If I need to watch Klein play any more I’m going to vomit

Well if he's willing, think it's time to give Alexander a call.
