Reid was a very good player for Houston, makes me wonder how much of it is scheme because this defense just doesn't create many turnovers.

As much as we all hate to admit it Denver ALWAYS plays us tough. Those two games will be their season.

They're shooting blanks man.

Just saying https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e9e318b659.jpg

But they're absolutely terrible.

We're going to have to score at least 16 points to beat them.

just don't use jon baker on kickoffs

I think the DL is a much bigger issue last game.

I thought Furious George had several nice snaps. Jones and Dunlap certainly deserve a ton of credit on that 4th down turnover series. That’s 3 huge individual effort tackles to force a turnover on downs with 3 plays to get 1 yard.

But Jesus Christ on WAY TOO MANY passing downs they would send 5, engage with the lineman and stop ****ing moving. All 5 of them. I’ve never seen anything like it. Not washed out. Not overran. Not jammed up on a double. Just one on one and getting ****ing stoned 5x. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Next Gen stat of the game: The Chiefs defense generated a season-low 15.6 QB pressure percentage (25.7 from Weeks 1-12).

Orlovsky pointed out this morning that the Bengals swapped personnel (positions) to create mismatches.

They had Chase in the backfield and Evans out wide to cause confusion in coverage.

Not really though.

22-9 was stupid but never really in doubt.
43-16
23-3
30-6

That's from the last 6 games with the other two being close. Played them closer in 2018 and going back into the Alex years. :shrug:

I wonder if the strategy was to keep him in the pocket so they played conservative with the rush to stay in their lanes.

If that was the plan, it was stupid. He's no statue, but I am WAY more terrified of him in the pocket tossing it to whomever, than I am him running, plus he doesn't throw on the move like Mahomes.

Dude is best in the pocket. That's why he eats so many sacks.

It’s was weird. I kept thinking how the hell is it Mahomes has like 1.5 seconds when they bring 3 but every blitz we bring gets picked up and stonewalled like the online was ran by AI or some shit lol.

Just my two cents, and I'm probably off by a mile, but it looked like Spags was mush rushing a lot, and he dropped a DL into short coverage a lot.

I think he was trying to simulate pressure and make Burrow throw a pass that could be tipped. Burrow has a lot for them in his career and several have been defensed/picked.

Again, I don't really know, but that's what it looked like to me in the heat of the moment. But watch some of those clips that have been posted since the game in various threads, and several times we've got DLs just a couple-three yards off the LoS right in front of Burrow with their hands up like they're waiting to try and bat a pass. And they took their swings, just didn't get lucky and bat them.

Not saying this was the only thing Spags and the defense tried either, because there are plenty of snaps where that doesn't happen. but there were a handful when it did.
