Caliendo is punching above his weight. He was not meant to start this year, let alone jump in week 16. Not every backup can be Allegretti, who is now a starter elsewhere.
On the bright side, Caliendo has experience now if Thuney doesn't return. More experience than Nourzad or Driscoll if they're called upon. [Reply]

Agreed. He was probably the worst player on the Chiefs side last night. Our running game kept getting blown up because he'd let his man through almost instantaneously and that awful sack he surrendered on our last goal to go series. [Reply]

By the way if Rousseau is "trash" then you're actually minimizing what Thuney did. Congrats. You should probably look up "logic" too.
ROUSSEA! is a decent football player. But because of some perceived weakness from Thuney, you and others decided ROUSSEA! was going to be a big problem for us last night.

That was my point. The guy is a mid player. We never heard his name, but this whole week it was "he's gonna give us problems potentially". Nope [Reply]

It's amazing when the blind side is protected how much different the offense appears. One of the sacks Mahomes uncharacteristically held the ball WAY TOO Long and did not throw it away.
My issue last night was some offense calls that bit us in the butt, running Hunt continuously up the middle for 0 or negative yards were wasted downs in a critical part of the game. He did eventually get free for some yards in the 4th Q.
All of these would be non-issues if the Chiefs just got a little lucky with the Bills fumbles, this game would have been nowhere near as close or maybe even a route. [Reply]

Declared what?
I believe my post about ROUSSEAU was actually phrased in the form of a question.
If you're not going to be honest about what was said, why should anybody engage with you further?
You're mischaracterizing the discussion to make yourself look smarter.
Hint: it doesn't. It makes you look like a douche. [Reply]

They rolled the pocket away from the pressure continuously. Hats off to Andy and the staff for calling an excellent game. [Reply]

I think it’s all about trust. Kingsley didn’t play G in college. I thought he showed a lot of potential vs Denver but he’s still very raw there.
I think it’s just an experience thing. I expect Kingsley to be the RG next year [Reply]

I had to go back 250 posts to even find a reference to ROUSSEAU and the word used to describe the matchup was "interesting".
The funny thing is Rousseau line up against Taylor quite a bit last night.
If you want to be a professional act like one. Right now, you're acting like the Chiefs version of Dave Portnoy. [Reply]
