    They are smart with their run plays. Ofc it could be just personnel...we don't have a Pacheco, but for this game it's not like they ran the ball well. It's the defense that did well.

    I don't think you can rule it out.

    I resent that couch remark. I'm in a recliner. And my NFL season ended when the Texan's season did.

    The Colts game was, essentially, a playoff game and the Browns game was, obviously - and both games - especially v Cleveland - the playcalling was very effective.

    This offense is predicated on the run setting up the pass. They *have to* therefore at least establish the threat, which they couldn't do against Baltimore. That's a talent issue, not coaching. Their run game does not frighten teams.

    The OL IS far from 100%. I get it. And we're missing Tank. The defense isn''t 100% either. Plus we need a big Nose tackle and a safety.

    We got as far as could be reasonaably expected this year. (surpassing expectations by a mile) gotta keep perspective/context.

    Next year, assuming health should really be something.

    I don't put it against Slowik for the lack of personnel to run effectively, I only blame him for his lack of improvising effectively knowing he has no real talent in that position. Next season will be better with hopefully improved players in those positions.

    I think they watched the games and know they need to find guys that are threats to score anytime they touch the ball. They also need to get tougher and improve the front 7 on defense.

    Hard to improvise with Dell/Brown etc... out. The offense only had one skill position player that the defense truly Nico. You cant beat a team like the Ravens without playmakers. Chiefs had Kelce/Paecheco/Rice and they still only scored 17 points. The Ravens defense is that good.

    I'm just glad that it appears Slowik will still be down on Kirby next yr.

    Do coaches typically wear pads? Looks so weird on a scrawny white guy

    Welp it seemed like everyone had Ben Johnson as a lock for either Seahawks or Commanders. Slowik is probably back in the mix again, more than he already was.

    Adam Schefter is so full of BS. I wouldn’t trust anything he says.

    If Quinn was the guy in Seattle like so many people are saying, why wouldn't they have already made that hire?
