Watching KC vs Buffalo I have to say we undervalued the TE position this season. Mahomes has thrown underneath all evening and Kelce has beaten his man nearly every damn play. When he’s not hitting Kelce for a first down Hill is juking half the secondary out of their cleats for a huge gain. 
 

Would we gripe about Teddy dinking/dunking as much if our guy is muscling his way for a first down every completion?

I’ve heard people divided on this all season. Did Thomas really regress or did Brady under utilize him? I’ll be honest, I didn't analyze this enough during the season but one thing is for sure, his absence was felt.

He was terrible when used. I have to assume that had a lot to do with him not being used more. Who's touches were you going to take away?

@WarHeel just check his stats, its a lazy way. I believe you did watch some games, remember *ANY* play he was a part of? Im done waiting, hes had the time and coaches. 

 

Im a sanjay TE believer. I want to control the middle of the field. No better friend to a QB than a TE. Its full hate on Teddy season, but if he just had a OK TE and healthy CMC, I doubt many would be calling for his right now replacement. TE is the most dangerous weapon in the league currently, a true match-up nightmare. They can block, so benefits running game. Move all around the field, back-field, outside, goal-line, etc. Its not like when a speedy slot WR come on the field, Ds send in nickles to defend... TEs could need a DB, LB, and DLman to marchup.

 

Wish I liked Pitts enough for the 8th..

This.  And honestly, we had 3 guys at WR who could turn nothing into something on any play they touch the ball, and Teddy still underperformed, so I don't think even a Kelce could've saved him.

Mahomes to Kelce is one of the most dominating connections in recent football history. Bridgewater to Thomas or Manhertz is laughable in comparison since none of those guys are any good. Bridgewater couldn’t hit an open DJ Moore in the end zone and literally cried about the play call being the problem like the dude is that horrible lol. The closest we had to KC was Newton to Olsen but we obviously have to upgrade big time to even come close to that again on both fronts.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
