But yeah, some concerns out there.

Lou Anurumo might be the only DC who I think is as good as Steve Spagnuolo. Dude just always has a good plan against Reid and Mahomes.

Chiefs are going to have to figure out some things at LT. I still think Suamataia can be effective and have a good season, but Hendrickson is a really tough matchup. Don't remember seeing much 13, but some 13 sets with a TE attached to the LT or coming down for a crackback on Hendrickson to slow him down seems in order.

Also have to find some adjustment in their nickel and dime sets that helps against TEs. They're getting roasted there. Maybe they can find a 3 safety look that works better, IDK.

Room to improve.

Oh, and they miss what Marquise Brown offers. He would help against tough, grabby man coverage.

Is it me, or did Andy just kinda leave the poor kid to fend for himself? There were maybe 1-2 screens in that direction, little chip help until the 2nd half. IDK if that's on purpose to get him on the learning fast track, but man that was BRUTAL.

Need to get Donovon Smith on the phone

LT is obviously the alarm right now, we saw the rookie's floor and it's not good enough. Tackle play completely derailed the offense. Can the coaching staff get him or Morris to an acceptable level?

Crazy game... Bengals and Bills are basically division rival level in terms of how often they play, with the bonus of playing in some huge games, so can't ever expect it to be easy.

I would have been stressing the hell out had that kind of chaos occured in the playoffs, but it was pretty fun to watch given it's week 2.

Two of their top ~4 or 5 games down and we all get to laugh at the Ravens and Bengals (and Broncos) being 0-2. :toast:

Still, we should've gotten more going underneath, with the TEs at least, but just two catches from our TEs all day.

Didn't think we'd miss Hollywood that much in this one, but we certainly missed something or somebody, because we could get anything going down the field. Though, that last INT by Pat was mostly on Pat. Pass was way too flat. Really needed to lob that one over the top and let Worthy run under it. But, really, it just seemed like our receivers weren't able to get open. Again. Which is concerning.

I really don’t miss Mvs at all. But it shows why you still kind of need it. Mvs was actually a decent weapon against cincy because you can go over the top on them as long as mahomes picks the right spots.

The offense looked like last years and that’s very worrying

Lou does that. He makes you play the most boring brand of football and waits for the mistakes to happen.

I think - without seeing the A22 - that we didn't really scheme anything under it was all 10+ yards. Thats an Andy issue, we should have been running routes for the underneath stuff but I don't think we were.

If I’m remembering right last year when we played cincy, Mvs was insanely wide open on a few long walk in TDs but mahomes overthrew him. Prior to that he put up 116 and 71 vs cincy. If there’s one thing he did well it was show out against cincy. We really need that kind of option because it’ll take some time for worthy to get there.

That really is nice eh? Having the Broncos, Ravens, Bengals and the Jaguars all 0-2.

The TE's are whopping us because Gay is gone. He was the TE equalizer last few years. That's all it is. The other guys cannot do what he did for this defense.

Agree 100%. We threw his to the wolves today and did not offer support with a chip or keeping a back in to block.

Team in general is still getting their legs. The running game is looking good but with Pacheco hurt we will see what Perine can bring.

Defense is still a bit too inconsistent but overall they are doing okay.

Mahomes has got to figure it out. 3 interceptions in 2 games and a 4th called back due to penalty.

Kelce's age is showing but he still commands attention and will be there later in the season.

Offensive Line is hurting in pass protection right now, particularly at LT. That right now is about the only glaring worry.
