I thought:
- Defense was excellent, obviously. A nice surprise. Jones makes a massive difference, no surprise. DEs looked good, Christ, even Nnadi. Sneed had a few wobbles but I think improved, McDuffie is a stud. I think Williams might be a better athlete than Watson, but right now I'd take the latter. Tranquil looked a little lost at times, when he figures it out we can go another notch up.
- Offense was pretty ugly and I don't think there's a single reason. WRs not separating, Mahomes hesitant, OL was poor, bad play-calling, refs, silly mistakes. Just a bag of ass and one of those days.
- Refs were awful. Just incredible they singled out Taylor that blatantly after Collinsworth's comments. But also...
- OTs. Smith is exactly who he's always been, hopefully Heck can work his magic. Taylor just needs to figure this out. I think he will, but you can't pay $20m a year for a guy giving up those penalties.
- WRs. Good on Moore, promising in patches. I think Toney did OK but wilted, kinda expected given no real off-season. Marginal improvement on the last game maybe?
