Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

I'm not sold on him just yet. He abandons the run too quickly for my liking. 

That’s been my take for several weeks, however, this week I’ll give him a pass on it just knowing KC’s rush defense is so good.

The game plan was to pass the ball and they almost pulled it off with Bryce Young… wow.

Dave should have earned his 2nd year without Tepper interference with yesterday's game

The playcalling seems suspect at times because there are certain plays we literally cannot run because of the physical limitations of our QB. 

The offense looked completely different with Dalton under center but unfortunately he ran out of steam in like 2 games. There were plays he called that I’ve never seen ran for Bryce. Bryce just lacks that type of arm talent.

It looks like he created a completely new offense for Bryce now compared to what he was calling when Bryce started the season.

Let Dave pick his QB and let Bryce and the new guy battle it out in camp. It should have already happened this past offseason.
 

 

PLEASE show me the plays that Bryce couldn't throw. Lol you guys are acting like Andy was throwing 70 yard bombs out there!!

I don't think it's necessary to succeed, but it's clear Bryce doesn't have the arm strength to really fit the ball into tight windows with arm alone 15-20 yards down field regularly. He can throw really well at that distance with anticipation, but he just lacks the same arm strength as some other notable high draft picks.

However, the question becomes - can he make up for that in other ways? He might be able to, because he played a very good KC D ( tho passing wise it is more middle of the pack - still a good D).

Canales deserves a lot of credit. I'm very pleased. He's definitely making strides with Bryce. I also think some of his lack of commitment to Bryce as the starter is to motivate Bryce. I think he liked what he saw when Bryce was benched. 

Even the Defense looks tremendously better with just a couple more pieces getting healthy. Wonnum has made our pass rush viable again. 

I would love to see this team with one more good player across the defensive front, DT or an edge rusher.

He has been having to work within Bryce’s limitations, especially in the red zone, and doing about as good as he possibly can imo.

Limitations in the red zone? You mean the all rookie catchers? or the geriatric option AT? He would have hit JT Sanders (but he was injured by that point) on the seam for a Touchdown but he had a player there that wouldn't make any other professional roster just completely whiff a well placed ball at the end of the second qtr.

I have zero problems with a rookie head coach with a conundrum at QB. He has handled this situation with wisdom and it's yielding tangible dividends. He's made the absolute most out of this sh!t sandwich he was dealt and the team is playing hard for him. Kudos.

This here, I appreciate from him. I saw it as making him earn it, which no one had done. And they had needed to from day one. 

It was a definite risk on the job security front. The whole benching and whatever took balls or balls and mindset.  

[Ricky Spanish]

I'm encouraged with what I am seeing.

And also, I know people don't believe it, but the defense has been improved recently as well. Getting healthy has helped a ton. Don't get me wrong, they still aren't great, but they look better than the beginning of the season. Hell we had 5 sacks today, Wonnum has been a big boon to our pass rush.

We held the best offensive coach of the modern era to 10 points in the second half. Small victories and all, but that showed the ability to adapt and adjust as the game goes on. It was nice to see. I'm interested to see how the defense looks once we get the best player on our team back (Brown) and use our high draft pick on an edge or interior lineman to help the pass rush.

It also shows to me that tepper isnt meddling like last year because Reich wanted to do the same thing and was overridden.  Thats a positive I would imagine

I know Evero isn't incredibly popular at the moment, but I really don't fault him for this season's poor defense. This defensive unit has been decimated with injuries. Since a couple of those guys have gotten back, they've been pretty solid.

Pj walker had a great comeback. I don't want him as our head coach. 

Reich was absolute cheeks as our coach from the jump

I'm still of the opinion that Frank didn't pick his guy, Dave did it for him. He just didn't seem to care after the draft and it pretty much showed in his coaching.

The defense played great yesterday. If Bryce’s one TD pass is enough to win the game, than the defense shutting down Mahomes in the fourth and keeping it close all day is the same. 

people are willing to throw all the other players in offense and defense, and even fans not showing up, under the bus to prop up Bryce. Yesterday was a team effort.

The D gave up 30 points. The D also let the QB run for 30+ yards that last drive giving them great field position. Great is not the correct term.
