Come on, man. That's just not true. You can't ask for much more than possessing the ball with over two minutes left with a chance to tie the game [Reply]

Respectfully disagree...Broncos put up 13 points in the 4th quarter. The game was over in the 3rd. The rest is just window dressing. They never controlled the game, they never produced until near the end of the game and didn't win...ergo...it was garbage time. [Reply]

Winning at PIT is difficult any season... both teams have their issues and PIT came out on top. So, whether it's losing like that on the road or getting backside obliterated at home by a good team... a loss is a loss. [Reply]

We have no speed at WR right now. Losing both of our explosive WR's was a massive blow to our offense. Getting Jeudy back will not only give us some much needed speed and our best offensive player back, but it will allow Sutton and Patrick to feast on #2 and #3 corners.
The run defense was terrible and Kyle Fuller hasn't played well but the run defense hasn't been an issue up and until now, and now that Darby's back, we can always bench Fuller and put Darby in. [Reply]
I really don't think we do. It's hard because we did play those three weeks against the dregs of the league. So it's hard to separate the results from the competition. But again, we were those teams the last few years. To be a team pounding on those teams is a step.
I think the coaching staff needs to go this offseason. I like Fangio, and I wish there was a way we could have him as just the DC. Assuming that would never work, we just need to move on. Shurmer has never been good, and he's never going to be good. I would be fine getting rid of him at, say, the bye week.
Injuries happen to everyone. But the reality is that they have had a huge effect on us. There's no way you can take away three of your top six or seven producers on offense, and not have your offense affected. Mahomes has not been good this year. How is he going to do if Kelce or Hill sit out for a month?
No matter what, though, we are stuck with a limited ceiling until we at least make some coaching changes. It's getting Vance Joseph bad. [Reply]

Pittsburgh has been terrible so far. But as I watched yesterday, I found myself wondering why. There is a lot of talent on that roster. [Reply]

You guys don't have a Kelce or a Hill.
The offense has still been good. They're ranked 5th statistically and Mahomes is on pace to nearly hit 50 tds.
The offense just isn't good enough to consistently put up 30+ per game and overcome a horrific defense [Reply]

Well, of course. Those guys are first-team all-pros. I'm talking more about offensive roles. KJ Hamler was starting to produce a little. But more important, his speed stretched the field. Jeudy was just starting to produce. Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick are good. Getting all of them on the field creates problems. Shurmer isn't going to ever be accused of being imaginative. But with all those guys, he didn't really have to be. Throw Albert Okwuegbunam out there, and it's another guy that requires defenses to make some hard choices.
You start getting some production out of your offensive line, and lose both of your starting guards. We don't have a Mahomes, obviously - someone who can offset a bunch of scrubs. As well as Bridgewater has played at times, he is what he is. We might just be the best team in the entire league at picking up eight yards on 3rd & 10. Seriously, I defy you to find anyone better.
Our defense is good enough that we don't have to go out and score 35. It's not good enough to allow us to go into the 4th quarter with 130 total yards. [Reply]
