    A better OC and offensive line.

    Would only take 1 drive - either Mahomes gets concussed or he hearing footsteps for rest of game

    Right now he’s super protected which leads to him being extremely comfortable - he’s not worried about anything cause if it’s close he’s getting bailed out by refs

    How the f*&(& do you know that?? Was he initially ruled out of the game (changed to questionable) or not for an injury? And then came back in...

    You ever played in the NFL. I have not. I don't know what playing in a high pressure situation and your body not feeling right feels like.

    I know I had spinal surgery in 2021 and I still deal with the consequences. Every surgeon who saw my crushed disc asked if I was in a car accident or had been hit on the spine with a bat (I have not). I haven't felt right physically since 2021.

    Not sure how Azeez feels / felt. I know he was ruled out and then was back in the game. Not sure how it affected him.

    Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) exited during the first half of Saturday's Divisional Round contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Al-Shaair registered a tackle in the opening quarter but was unable to add another stat before departing.

    Yards mean nothing if you get to the red zone and choke half the time. We proved that. Its embarrassing. The fact that Slowik is being sought out for a head coaching job just proves you don't need to be a crackhead or junkie to be thinking illogically.

    Windows missed? Not even close. CJ is still one of the best QBs in the league that any receiver would love to play for. This year, Jayden just added his name to the list of league's best QBs. Let's see how Jayden does his sophomore season. Also he's older than CJ.

    Truth. And as much as we dislike them, the Lions are not the Chiefs. KC will threepeat. Lions are us with injuries only theirs is on the defensive side. Too many prisoners of the moment.

    Jayden Daniel’s is ballin tonight. They have 4 takeaways against the Lions and 45 points on the board, we had 5 and barely managed half those points, which pretty much encapsulates our offensive woes all season. But I will admit, it was pretty cool hearing everyone sing CJ’s praises last season like he was a once in a lifetime sensation and now I’m slightly jealous Daniel’s has come in and pretty much done the same AND is about to stage a HUGE upset

    This is a franchise that opted for Randy Bullock when Justin Tucker and Chris Boswell were available undrafted free agents.

    Also, it would’ve been great if we had an extra receiver capable of getting separation quick each play like oh IDK, a Diontae Johnson type?

    SMH, why couldn’t he just suck it up and just pretend to be happy for his team for an extra week? Our high school JV receivers out there today weren’t it.

    JD has a cheat code whenever he is pressured and with short yardage runs. CJ doesn't have that kind of running ability.

    Also the NFC doesn't really have any superhuman QB's leading teams to the playoffs, so Daniels can develop into that already. Maybe when Stafford turns back the clock. Mayfield can but he can also make mistakes. Hurts, Purdy, Goff, etc. are all system guys. AFC has Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, and Burrow who are all superhuman at times.

    I don't have it in me to read 97 pages of disappointment. All I'll say is that the refs gave the NFL what they wanted today. Mahomes is soft, but plays to the advantages the refs give him.

    I hope a defender decides to make one of his baited "roughing" fouls worth it some day.

    The Chiefs are now 7-0 in games when Clay Martin is the referee.


    ...not as bad as James Harden being 1-13 with Scott Foster as referee through 2022. Yet.

    Bc I watched the play. For the 8000th time, what I am saying is he could have stood completely still and not ****ing moved, which its possible to do (even while injured), and the middle of the field wouldnt have been left completely open. He chose to run to the flat on both plays.

    Look, we disagree. It's fine.

    Lions lost worse than the Texans and are going to take all the media attention. Thanks Goff.

    Using what metric?
    He was in the bottom quarter of passer rating, right above Aidan O'Connell and right below Caleb Williams.
    Stroud had an objectively horrible year this year. I hope he bounces back but he was one of the worst quarterbacks in the league this year.

    Having their #2/3 WR would have helped today.

    Having a competent OL coach/scheme would have also helped

    Having a competent OC to tie that all together would have reaaaaaaly helped

    Defense was pretty amazing, except for the 2nd Half parts where they decided to let Kelce run wild uncovered (having 2 starting safeties out may play into that?)

    OL and OC coaches should be fired on Monday. We'll see.

    It’s also a franchise that said no to Peyton Manning because we had Matt Schaub…

    On the bright side, we are keeping more and more hungry to reach Super Bowl. We are going to keep improving our roster for sure.
