Regarding Canales, looking for him to not be out coached is probably not the best criteria to go with. 

That is going to happen. This is Canales year of getting schooled. You learn later on if he is getting it. And it it probably isn’t a one year thing. He’ll be a sophomore next year, still facing professors.

Eager to get a sneak peek at Brooks! I'm not expecting him to set the world on fire, but any positives he shows before getting a full NFL offseason complete with strength & conditioning (rather than spending the offseason having to rehab his knee) will be more than welcomed.

Fingers crossed we get to see his vision effectively utilized as that was one of his major strengths as a prospect.

Honestly, we are gonna need to pass in this game. This is the 3rd ranked rushing defense but the 16th ranked passing defense.

So our strength is going against their strength.

Our "strengths" don't actually move the needle on the dials they are judged against. 

This is a JV squad taking on the local college team.

But hey, I'm still hoping our little guys learn a lot and have some fun moments.

The question is, can he survive to get to that third year?

I suspect next year is also going to extend our streak of losing seasons so Tepper is going to have to be much more patient than he has been so far. I rather doubt Canales makes it far into season three, if he even makes that if he isn't close to .500 after 2025.

I don't think it will be a complete stomping at all. That's not really the 2024 KC team. They have only scored 30 points once this season(shootout versus TB) and their biggest margin of victory has been 13(vs. the Saints).

I guess they clearly show better versus the NFC South but not THAT good. Not by their recent years standard.

I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.

they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era. 

but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are.

i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

I mean.....his guy has to be someone willing to come so Geno Smith is out. If you mean RUSSELL Wilson, that is laughable.

Fields and ZACH Wilson are just basically the beginning of the end. These aren't likely to be Geno Smith turnarounds. Fields is further proving that he just isn't much more than a gimmick player. Zach Wilson still probably needs a year or two under some better circumstances before I would consider him a candidate for being a turnaround. He is just jumping straight back into the NY Jets fire here.

If we start turning the ball over(highly likely with Bryce) then it could get ugly. That's the only way I think it could be 20+. I do think Bryce gets yanked in the second half for Dalton, however. This is the game he loses his job to Dalton for the rest of the year. Canales was right when he said it last. Andy still gives us the best chance to win any game.

I don't know what to think of KC. On the one hand, they seem to find a way in most of these games to prevail, so they obviously are a very mentally tough team(see the 49ers blowing leads left and right) but this is overwhelmingly the worst season in Mahomes career. Frankly, he has been in the bottom third in the NFL all season. That's strange.

All of them are better than Bryce except for Jones and that's the only thing that matters.

I dont think KC has had to reach into their bag of tricks and needed to score points.  They are doing just enough to win games and leaning on their defense.  I think you see a completely different offense in the playoffs.   Maybe sooner if their #1 seed is being threatened

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
