Yes and I said I expect those QB's to be able to do that stuff.

I see you missed the point as well.

It's a dog shit rookie QB. Coming into arrowhead doing it.

I thought we were concerned with opposing offenses?

So now we are playing what ifs? It was said that a team with better weapons would exploit us. We've already played them and they didn't. It seems like you're worried about something that we've already seen isn't happening. Now if the Bills come out and steamroll then maybe it's time to worry. Not now.

It's nothing until someone proves it isn't. Right now, nobody has proven that.

Top tier offense or top tier defense…either way it’s probably going to be grinding and ugly

And all signs point to it being an anomaly - see aforementioned victories over Cincinnati and Baltimore.

You're looking for something that doesn't yet exist.

I'm concerned that it looks like a bottom tier offense may have found something about McDuffie that's exploitable by better offenses.




I'm projecting what might happen if the above is true. Which seems reasonable in this case.




That's what I said. Maybe it's something, maybe it's not. But the idea that Coen and now Sean Payton "seem" to have gameplanned targeting our best CB is at least interesting, and possibly concerning. Ymmv.

Don’t you think are coaches watch the film and help correct a problem?
[Reply]

Of course. If they can fix it, they will. If it’s just an anomaly, they’ll know it.


I’m just curious if it actually is an issue. What is it exactly, and how they’ll deal with it if necessary.


I’ve literally been saying, “hmm, this looks odd, what am I seeing here. And if it’s an actual problem, what will they do about it?”

That’s it.

Everyone in the league sees McDuffie as one of the best defensive backs in the league. Like any good DB he will have a stretch where his play isn't always top notch but that doesn't mean someone "discovered " his weakness.

Methinks they doth protest too much..

Also, they had a short week coming off an overtime win on MNF. I was worried about that as I watched it happen.
[Reply]

We always knew he’d struggle with certain types of No. 1’s as he spent more and more time on the boundaries.
[Reply]

Yeah, and it may be nothing more than a stature issue. I know. I think it’s just interesting that of all QBs, Nix went after Mcduffie.
[Reply]

Yea this is no different than previous years except when they play a down game they still win.

Don't want to bank on that continuing as a trend, but that's the difference.

Pat historically doesn't play well against Denver for some reason with a few exceptions as well.

We won several times during that long streak of wins against Denver on some flukey shit like the RB fumbling inside the 10 yard line at the end of the game etc...
[Reply]

McDuffie hasn’t been on the boundary for majority of games until somewhat recently. Sutton isn’t a great matchup either so it’s kind of a perfect storm. Trent will get better out there but he isn’t gaining length unfortunately.

I seem to remember the last time we lost to Indianapolis (4-12-1 in 2022). I do believe we went on to win a SB that year. :-)
