I wonder if Andy was just too loyal to Berry or if CHunt told him to play his inspirational ticket seller.

Two words come to my mind: Player's coach.

The Chiefs are now 0-3 in games EB played in this year. He’s proven to be more of a distraction than a weapon and the defense doesn’t play as well when he’s on the field. Not only did Gronk beat EB several times, EB strip searched Gronk the entire game and got away with it. If EB just gets his head around on that last pass to Gronk it’s an INT and game over.

I’m still in shock of how that game went it’s like everyone discounted that we’d be playing Brady, he’s the luckiest MF on the face of the earth and he proves it nearly every year. I waited 25 years for yesterday, who knows if or when we’ll be there again.

Yep. That pass to Gronk wasn't a great throw or a great catch -- it was bad D and good luck.

Andy Reid brought up Eric Berry in the post game PC as one of the positives as he will be back next year.

They need to June 1st that old man and spend the savings (9.5m) on someone that can make a difference.

I totally agree, but is it really THAT much of a cap savings for next season?

Wow! How so? By doing it after June 1 and spreading the cap hit out over a couple of seasons instead of taking it all next season? Please explain.

I seriously need an education on this issue. I hear people all the time say it will be too expensive to cut him etc. I just take it for granted that they know what they're talking about. Would love to be able to offer a reasonable alternative as to how it could be done and not be all THAT devastating.

They better get assurances from their medical staff that Berry will make a 100% recovery from the surgery to repair the Haglund situation and that he’ll be fully ready for training camp.

And no more “Eric Berry doesn’t need training camp, regular season games, as long as he is available for the playoffs” bullshit. That strategy failed miserably yesterday.

Disgusting that he strung us all along for the season, and then appeared in the title game only because his ego demanded it

smithandrew051 · 01-21-2019, 02:38 PM

People talk about scheme, Sutton, tackling, etc.

Without question, the single biggest issue with the defense is that far too much cap space is tied up in players that are either unavailable or unproductive (or both).

Houston, Berry, Hitchens, and Bailey. Houston is an average player anymore (when you account for production vs availability). The rest are well below average.

Having this much cap space tied up in these guys is such a waste. It’s an immediate disadvantage before we’ve played a snap of any game.

I don't see how he wasn't just told to get it fixed and put on IR early in the season. This was such a shit show from preseason until last night.

Can't force a player to have surgery.

I guess in that case, I judge the player and his commitment to anything other than his bank account if he won't do whatever it takes to get on the field after the Chiefs and city bent over to support him in his time of need. The Chiefs have been MORE than fair to Berry and he responds with "no spirit".

Right or wrong, I'm ready to wish Berry well in his next life endeavor....somewhere else.

No, but I wonder if refusing to have surgery voids an injury guarantee.

Guess we’ll find out!

The Chiefs-Berry divorce will be long and acrimonious.
