I think this is really the best argument for Thuney.

He DID improve over the three games in question.

He was flat out bad against Cleveland, regardless of what people try to say. By Pittsburgh he was probably above average. I wouldn't say 'good' but he did get better every week.

That's worth something.

We know how we match up with each one of these teams already and the smarter choice will be made. The game won't be close.

The game won’t be close? Wut?

Honestly, I'm just glad the 2s got a full game of reps to see what they do/don't have.

Humphries gives us a high ceiling, so I'd prefer they at least give it a shot, but if he's struggling early just go back to Thuney :shrug:

There's a good chance Watson will be back, we appear to have solved our line issues, and we've added 1 if not 2 WR's since playing these teams.

Baltimore and Buffalo are both less talented than last year. We won't play either one in the divisional.

You really think Denver and the Chargers are within 7 pts of this team in the playoffs?

No...

I believe we’re the favorites in every post season game but what you posted is pure fantasy

Yeah - it just never even passed the sniff test. Found my posts from the other thread below.

It's just made up from whole cloth. Really stupid.

His grades per PFF have been:

50.4
68.3
57.9

There's no way that's the "#1 OT in football" over that stretch per PFF.

By their own grades, he's been sub-starter level for 2 of the 3 weeks and just barely above average starter level in the 3rd.

That don't make no sense.

63.8
59.5
80.3

his 'ranked' scores are all better than Thuney's over that time period. Thuney's average over those 3 games is 58.9 -- Tunsil hasn't had a single game that low in that span.

Thinkin' you read something wrong.

We have both a better offense and defense than last year. Both Baltimore and Buffalo lost talent this season.

I'm not sure which of those points you think is arguable. Buffalo's D is complete bottom 10 ass. Raven's D is unbelievably weak vs the pass and rely on the pass rush to get home. Flowers is hurt and may not even play next week.

We beat Baltimore by a toe

Lost to the Bills

Beat Denver by a blocked FG

Beat the Chargers by 2 then 7

I like the Chiefs but not sure what you’re watching to say the games won’t be close

The current roster is completely different...

Except the rest of us have watched these games and noticed each game that the whole line got better in pass pro when he was at LT.

It's gonna be Thuney. Humphries was ASS in the second half today. Looked absolutely gassed.

What's really stupid is your take that we're gonna start him at left tackle after 1 decent half of football all season.

Put the f'n crack pipe down

When you post fabricated data, it doesn't exactly give you much credibility.

Unfortunately I don't think I saw enough to say with any authority what should be done. We just didn't do enough real football and Wentz was a mess. The one real bad whiff was obvious but he had several really strong reps as well.

I don't think he'll be a clear upgrade on Thuney (unfortunately) but I'm not convinced he was worse than Thuney would be either.

I'll just wait and see I guess. I just can't form any strong opinion from this game.

The whiffs are the main issue. Thuney doesn't seem to do that. He may lose, but he loses slower than any other LT on the roster. And Patrick has been playing with more confidence since he's been there, very possibly for that reason. I really want Humphries to be the guy, but if they start Thuney I'll at least feel like our floor on protection is high.

Sure but you don’t think the games will be close??

Because that’s what I’m disputing despite believing we’ll win them all

dannybcaitlyn 01-05-2025 06:58 PM

If he’s the starter. I think he needs to get in a high humidity setting and run some sprints with Watson the next two weeks. His conditioning is off and most of the bad play was in the second half because of it .
