We needed Thuney at guard. End of story.

This was one of the worst signings of the season

should have brought back the LT from last season if nothing else

The two Super Bowl losses that we had the first one against Tampa Bay, we had three starters out. This o-line that we have we have now we have two incompetent tackles and a duct tape left tackle that should be playing left guard. But like I said in an earlier post, even in our three Super Bowl wins Mahomes was never comfortable in the pocket, but luckily our offense finally started clicking. It never got started tonight.

I said it three games ago.

If we don't win the Super Bowl, Thuney at LT will be why.

And it was.

Can't say I take much joy in being right.

Einstein never said it, but the point stands.

I argued about this relentlessly in fear of what could happen down the road and sadly my fears were realised. DJ played three quarters alongside Thuney, Creed, Trey and Taylor. The hamstring happens and he never played alongside those guys again. And what makes it worse is the two games he did play he was facing the Chargers and Denver D-lines so he was thrown right into the deep end.

Hindsight is easy right now but you have to wonder what could have been had he got a fair shot at it. There was time to see a glimpse but Andy was too dug in with Thuney and that was it. Andy and co went for the "comfortable" route instead of being brave.

Adjustments weren't the plan tonight. It was more of trying the same thing and hoping for different results.

Humphries at LT doesn't save this game. The difference would probably be negligible.

It was a lottery ticket late in the year. I dont blame Veach at all for swining

Probably, but we never got to find out. If he holds his own, maybe we can send help on Taylor's side where he was getting constantly beat.

Yeah it was definitely an admirable shot, especially when trying for a three peat, but the LT position needs to be handled in the offseason, which Veach definitely didn't do in last year's offseason, he gets a solid F here for entering the season with Kingsley thinking we were good

That's fair.

Idk, I figured if we lost people were going to point to this as a big "What If" when it's really not.

If the coaching staff thinks Thuney at LT is a better situation, maybe Humphries is just ****ing bad lol. He would've gotten annihilated just like everyone else did.

It would have allowed Thuney to move back to LG and get Caliendo’s struggling ass out of the game.

I want to say “we should have played Humphries,” but I go back to the fact that the coaching staff sees him every day in practice. If the guy would have helped us win, he would have played in a second.

How much worse would it have been to make the switch to thuney to lG and put Dj in at left tackle
