This right here is the only thing I'm concerned about right now.
I am not worried about a Mahomes and Andy offense in the playoffs until they show us reasons to. Especially with the reinforcements coming at LT, WR, and RB.
But the defense... I dunno. It's reminding me a LOT of 2022 right now when it seemed like they couldn't get stops in those Nov/Dec games if their season depended on it. And really, they couldn't in SB LVII either.
We are putting a lot of eggs in the Charles Omenihu post-ACL basket to be a hero. I think Nazeeh's better than he generally gets credit for, but this defense can't play man coverage with any consistency right now and they can't get pressure when playing soft zone. [Reply]

Yeah I'm feeling the same. Offense I'm pretty confident with, even with the dodgy OT play. The defense, man, it's a tougher one. I think our secondary with Sneed and Watson did a lot of heavy lifting for our DL. You can get away with a ponderous/non-existant pass rush when the secondary is sticky and gives you time. Now we're asking the DL to win quickly and it can't.
I've got a bit of hope Uche gets worked in and Omenihu comes back balling. [Reply]
