Wait a minute....So another qb just went off on that incredible chiefs defense??! NO WAY...SHUT UP! 😂

A Backup at that.

340 yards 2 touchdowns 9.7 yards per attempt 116.4 passer rating.

Aidan O'Connell is a jag at best.

Chiefs defense is overrated AF.

I wonder if he was already calling the plays, or if he's gonna get one of his assistants to help with calling the offense so he can try to show a bit more overall focus than Eberflus in game lol. 

Well I'm going to assume he cannot have worse in game situational awareness than Eberflus but you never know lol.

Facts. They are bottom half of the league against the pass when you breakdown the numbers. All that top defense crap was for them stopping the run. Too many qbs have put up good games against them now. It just doesnt mean your gonna win because  champs find a way in the end.

Some years back, country had gotten to ja point where it was just pop with a twang. That was when you saw the rise of "new traditionalists" like Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam who wanted to take it back to its roots. 

Maybe they need people like that again.

They got people like that but I mean, go back to the 1970s and you had the outlaw movement which was the same thing basically, a reaction against what at the time they called Countrypolitan - with strings and sweeteners and very narrow artistic type of value system. 

The style of countrypolitan changes but the game remains.

I don't believe there is really any data to back that up.

Yeah… it might just feel that way because the game has become so pass friendly the last few years 

However, I think it’s slowly starting to trend back in the other direction which I’m all for. 

The NBA is a tough watch these days because all teams do is shoot 3’s. The NFL was becoming something similar with passing. Maybe I’m just getting old but I actually miss watching teams run the ball and defense was a thing

Yeah, all the mock drafts have that happening with us taking a fuging CB at 5 lol. 

One super under-the-radar thing is happening this year, and no one is paying attention. The recent first-rounder is Caleb Farley. He's still young and finally healthy. He's played fairly... Well too. 

 

I think he's from the area and likes home cooking. He has elite traits and has just been unhealthy. I mean, why not sign him at this point.?Be one less draft pick to use on DL.

Its not something that could be backed up by data one way or the other.  Its just an opinion, like most things stated here.  

Regarding my comment that started this discussion, Imo its more difficult to find good offensive linemen than wide receivers, due to a number of factors.  Granted that anyone that reaches the NFL has elite skills, but  I think that most players with the size, strength and skill would rather play on the defensive line.  If an offensive linemen does his job well, no one hears his name.  But if a Dlinemen gets to the qb a couple of times a game, all the fans know it.  

Have a good offensive line directly impacts the run and passing attacks.  Where as have a good group of receivers only indirectly impacts the run game.  Miami's run game has taken a huge hit this year, while ours have improved.  I think Hunt is a big part of the reason this is true.  Not the only part of course, but a big part.

I think Hunt and Lewis are a big part of the turnaround. You went from one of the worst IOL to easily a top 10 IOL(center is weaker, obviously).

I do think our offensive coaching has improved tremendously, as well.

    • Absolutely LOVED Smitty as a player. Who didn't? But Smitty the person, yeah... not so much. Unfortunately all those things that made us love him as a player had no off switch. He was basically the exact same person off the field that was on the field and that's obviously just not gonna work well in polite society.  
    • And our record says we were a losing team that lucked into getting into the playoffs. Playoffs are not our standard because we didn't earn our way in, the Falcons had to do it for us. We also got in because the NFCS sent another losing record team to the playoffs and the Panthers are the only team in the NFL to go twice with a losing record. That's not something to be proud of. The reason I brought up the 13 and 16 point scores was those are not typically wins most weeks in the NFL. In fact, there were 31 wins this season where the winning team scored under 20. 7 of those happened in week 18. That means this past season, only 11% of the time, the winning team scored under 20. Prior to week 18, that was 9%. Week 18 was a statistical anomaly.  How often does a team go into the red zone 6 times and come away with 13 points? Not often. GB did and we won that game. And we played a Jets team (0-7 at the time) that was offensively inept. Teams also don't consistently win one score games as often as we did either. Those things tend to balance themselves out the following year. I'm not erasing wins. I'm looking at how this team actually performed during the season. We defied the odds winning 2 games scoring under 20. The record, and the stats across the NFL, show we are in reality closer in performance to a 6 win team than we are to 8.    If Bryce was a FA for another team would we be looking at him? Probably not. He's in the retread and dice roll category. It just so happens we just signed him to the option. There's not a lot of good options out there right now. That's why I'm not in the sign a vet as QB2 club. Bring in a retread or dice roll. Trotting a vet out a couple of games isn't going to get us anywhere long term. 
    • Not sure he is in the top ten but: His 9.99 RAS score, second among 1,512 tackles since 1987, isn't a gimmick. You see every bit of that explosiveness translate to the field when he kicks and slides in pass sets. NFLDraftBuzz
