We played one of the worst games I've seen us play in a while, from both a coaching and execution standpoint, and we still "only" lost by 14. That's not great, but with a team as young as ours an early loss in the season against the best team in the league will hopefully show us where we need to improve. This game was a trial by fire for deshon Elliott, Queen, and Harrison on defense. They'll go back into the film room and learn from it and be better because of it. I'd rather have these teaching moments early in the season.
Do you think tho that this is probably as good as the defense will get considering the personnel we have? I'm sorry but if Judon is our best pass rusher we are never beating Mahomes. We can beat up on sorry teams on D, but not the elite ones.Offense wasn't good. No bones about it. Much, much, much more disappointed in our defense though. We made very few critical stops, and KC did literally whatever they wanted.
I don't like how Roman panics once we fall behind. You're a run game genius just stick to your strengths. I get why we traded Hurst, but why do we keep Dobbins on the bench (1 carry!!!). We could've kept Hurst if we don't intend to involve Dobbins more into our game.
My rb pecking order is: Gus, Dobbins, Ingram. And Dobbins could play on 3rd down and obvious passing downs.
Also we would have won if we had worn the black pants instead and I will not accept any differing opinions on this.
Wow really? Yea we need a new game planwe ran so many bootlegs and that's notoriously been one of our least effective plays with lamar (i think someone on twitter actually had those statistics during the game but cant remember who - that actually quantified how bad we've been on boots)
we didnt play to our strengths at all
Fucking agreeAlso we would have won if we had worn the black pants instead and I will not accept any differing opinions on this.
bullshit those all blacks carry magic powersBlack pants were not going to stop Mahomes and the Chiefs last night!
"See that's the problem with you cats. Always shoulda, coulda, woulda. We LOST. We got outcoached! We got out-played! NO EXCUSES!"Fucking agree

I think the rookies will improve. Queen Harrison and company never even had a preseason. They, especially, should get better as the season progresses.Do you think tho that this is probably as good as the defense will get considering the personnel we have?

True. Imagine if they traded for say the best (healthy) running back in the league...that wouldn't stop the coaches from abandoning the run.Not even a trade would help us beat kc. We need so much more than players.
