HUGE bounce back performance from the OL
 

I know it wasn't perfect from a pass blocking perspective, but just from a pure physicality standpoint, this was really great to see.

When you can do that against the Bucs DL and front 7, you should be able to do it to anybody.

OBJ sucks

I don't care if we can run block or not at least if that is at the expense of bringing in great pass blockers

But to your point, yes - they played well tonight. The interior is so solid.

Yes. Throw Burton and Pacheco, and even CEH in there too. There was a real **** you streak out there.

And I'm here for it.

Shut up, bitch.

We just punked a front 7 with a bunch of badasses. That stuff translates to the playoffs.

Yes. It was great to see.

I never bought the idea that they has regressed as much as it seemed after the Colts game.

Glad we got back to some sense of normalcy here as we absolutely can’t expect to contend with anything but an above average OL.

Shaq Barrett said the OL was pretty much the same as what we trotted out there in the Super Bowl though

Pass protection with OBJ was shit though.

Almost like it's silly to overreact to one bad game???

Give Mahomes an elite run defense and a nasty violent run game, and we’ll win a lot of ****ing games

Definitely the best they’ve looked all season.

What's Shaq Barretts bitch ass have to say now?

I'd say those interior 3 were flat out monsters tonight. I'll even give Wylie a little credit. Brown, Jr. -- might best be suited to play RT, or maybe OG. If we get up big on some team, I'd like to see the Prince get a shot. Brown needs to start backing up to the pay window.

:clap:

I disagree that it was "shit", but yet it didn't matter against arguably the best defense and front 7 in the NFL.

I admit I didn't see that coming. Especially against Tampa's front. I feel this OL is better at run blocking. I'd like to see less RPO to allow the backs to hit the hole without delay. You can have the best QB in football and still run a lot. Belichick wasn't afraid to run constantly if the other team couldn't stop it. That's one adjustment Reid needs to make when the running game is working.

He’s too busy sucking Pachecos dick to talk

It was great to see. Hopefully they can keep it going.

I would like to also point out that Devin White got drug like a bitch on multiple occasions

Vindication personified.

Nothing lmao

Shaq Barrett's stats against the Chiefs: 4 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 QB hits, 0 TFL

Just pathetic that people were calling it a bad line after one poor game, despite everything they’ve proven in the past.

It’s really weird that so many fans of such a talented team and coaching staff expect failure. This isn’t the Broncos or Raiders.

Hey he did make a play from the backside when nobody blocked him that 1 time!

They're full blown cowards.

Like I've said in the past, before we won a SB, it was understandable. Now, it's just pathetic.

TBH, it was two poor games. The line didn't look great against the Chargers either.

They just made one of the best front 7s in the league look like Ray Ray and the Ravens against the Big Willie's. "They double teaming me coach"

That Colts game was just bizarre all the way around. As bad as we played on O, had Wright been our kicker in that game instead of Ammendola, we would be 4-0 :mad:

Wasn’t Priest Holmes against Atlanta but it was fun.

But Mahomes has proven many times he doesn’t need perfect protection anyway. A slight issue at tackle is no reason to throw in the towel. Plus, I’m not sure any tackles are going to look great vs Bosa and Mack.

Top offense in football according to some advanced metrics....even facing some legit defenses

I don't think we're keeping OBJ.

In general, the more you rely on passing the more athletic your tackles should be. The more mobile your QB is, the more athletic you want your tackles. OBJ is not athletic at all.

Inside line was great. But who gives a shit. We arent a running team.

Mahomes had almost 250 yards and 3 TDs.

You act like it's preventing us from throwing the ball well/consistently.

OBJ looked a lot more violent and even agile than in any game I've ever seen him in. He just threw some guys to the ground.

Hope that's a sign of things to come.

I think tonight was evidence that we should be

No shit

When we can be more balanced as an O, we become damn near unstoppable- really, the only thing that stopped us tonight was a few dropped passes.

I mean, that's the hallmark of CP.

Two big drops from MVS and CEH kept that from being 300+ and 4-5 TDs.

Facts

You are a dumbass did you just watch the game? Notice we ran the ball. That’s what good teams do along with passing it . You do both they set each other up.one dimensional will get your ass beat mabey not every time but against good teams it will

This performance does make the Colts game that much more inexplicable. I mean WTF were we doing out there?

I guess we were looking ahead to the ****aneers but come on man. When they’re handing you your ass wake up and go get a play.

This game really reminded me of when we beat Buffalo 2 seasons ago. We went off 46 runs for 245 yards. Mahomes had 225 yards and 2 TDs passing.

This year we ran 37 times for 189 yards. Mahomes had 249 and 3 TDs passing. Very similar type of game. Both were following a stupid loss the week before where we didn't run the ball worth a damn. Before that Bills game we lost to the Raiders and had 80 rushing yards on 20 carries.

junior is doing what i thought (and it could still happen), lamar jackson was going to do: play himself out of contract money.

37 passes 37 runs. 189 yards on the ground. Amazing how committed they were to the run. 6-8 yard chunks we are used to seeing against the old defense.

And they did it against a damn good defensive front. I just hope they keep doing it.

We should be a running team? That's stupid as ****. You're really dumb dude.

Its easy to commit to the run when you aren't getting stuffed everytime.

Yes. I too hope we can become Tennesee.

People pointed out that our tackles aren't very good and probably need to be improved, at best the jury's out. I thought OBJ ended pretty strong last year, but tell me you're confident giving him the contract Veach offered.

Staylor may have a point, it might not matter because Mahomes. It might just mean you drop the odd game you shouldn't. I don't think Wylie is actually as bad as some suggest, especially at that cost, and OBJ could still have a strong year. But perfectly reasonable questions asked of our OTs.

They kicked ass and made Bareet look stupid.

the problem isn't that OBJ sucks, he doesn't. The problem is that he turned down a giant contract because he wanted to be paid like Trent Williams but his level of play isn't even close. He's ok, he's good. But he's not a Trent Williams or a Willie Roaf. He doesn't dominate like those guys have.

Yeah I think that's probably right. He has a big enough body of work where he's been an above average to fairly good OT, albeit a better RT. That's probably where he is and that's the range he should be paid at. This year he's been poor imo but not unreasonable to expect he improves back to that level.

We need an Oline callout thread every week if they respond this well, seemed to light a fire under their collective asses.

Word

I was pretty much half asleep for most of the game with this damn sinus infection, but did we shift philosophy a bit when it comes to rushing the football? Seems like a lot more of the runs were designed to get CEH and Pacheco going downfield ASAP instead of stretching the field first

We have a ridiculous run blocking OL.

Andy Reid adjusted from last year when everyone played shell on us.

Instead of doing stretch and slower developing runs now it's boom fast inside zone.

These plays were available last year too but now we're taking them.

Give Mahomes 2nd and 2 or 3 over and over and it's almost impossible to stop.

Why is that anyones problem other than OBJ's?

This is how we need to play to win every week.

Look, the 2019-2020 offenses were a lot of fun, but defenses adjusted. They're forcing Mahomes (and the other young stud QB's) to have to be patient, consistent, and execute long drives to beat them.

Run the ball. Hit the short and intermediate stuff. Execute. Then you'll get some deep shots open up.

It's just the way it is. Good to see Big Red stick with the run, and the quicker hitting runs most of the game. That needs to be the backbone moving forward.

Make them pay for dropping 7 and 8.

If Mahomes scares them so much they're willing to just give up 6ypc, then that's totally fine. It's still 10 yards to a first down. 7 or 8 to a TD.

Football is still football.

Didn't seem like it to me. I noticed quite a few sweeps, tosses, and slow-developing runs. Everything was just working.

O line played like they took their performance last week personally, which they should have. OBJ is not a great LT, it is what it is. The interior was every bit as dominant as we expect.

Listening to Pat and Andy's post game, you can tell even the staff and players challenged the Oline this week to not play so putrid.

Anyone defending the Oline before this Bucs game is a dork... they deserved the criticism... especially for being labeled as "the best Oline in the NFL".

I hope they can continue to take their jobs seriously after they have now shown during the Bucs game that they CAN do well.

Agreed. Hopefully they can play similar to last night on a more consistent basis. It’s a long season. Not every game will be great, but hopefully they can find a strong groove heading into the playoffs.

It was the same basic set of plays from what I could see. The situational play calling was just better and of course, the execution was stellar.

That was very fulfilling to watch.

That level of line play in combination with last nights play calling is going to tough for anyone to beat.

The play calling last night was MUCH improved over the Colts game, but the execution was superb!

On offense we had a lot of quick throws/screen type plays.

Took some pressure off the line.

Wylie isn’t a negative player. He’s a decent RT. He’s way better than Orland Brown Jr

Yeah, Wylie was pretty ****ing good last night. Unfortunately Brown was still pretty shit in pass protection. Incredibly damning when the opposing HC/DC switches his most effective EDGE onto you after identifying you as the weakest link.

Here a highlight reel from last night. Just watch OBJ in passing snaps. He handles his business most of the time.

Again, not saying he's perfect, or that he's good enough for that contract Veach offered him. But he definitely looks better in this game, vs. a top-5 DL, than he has in the past. It's a step in the right direction.

That's what I saw most of the night as well. He played pretty well. Not great, not outstanding, but he did pretty well. He got beat a few times and that's what some will hang their hats on, but it doesn't paint a complete picture.
