Did Newton play well today... you tell me

Mixed bag today. Made some crucial mistakes so you can't say he played well, but he also made some big time plays and we moved the ball fairly well overall.

But it wasn't like he was just awful out there.

But no, he didn't play well. It seemed like no one played well enough today except the defense.

he was lights out in the first half until that stupid throw to steve that PP21 picked off in the endzone. steve had him beat by 5 yards and cam horribly underthrew it.

Unless PP21's arms are 15 feet long than he couldn't of had him beat by 5 yards because PP21 had a hand on him the whole time.

Bad throw though

Other than the INT, I thought he played very well in the 1st half.  I thought he played very poorly in the 2nd half.  Then again, our coaching staff did a very poor job of countering the adjustments the Chiefs made in the 2nd half.  The 2nd half was just an embarrassment.  That's pretty much the story of the Ron Rivera error... uh, I mean "era".

This.  Smitty has to stop lobbying so much for the ball.  Try catching the ones thrown your way first.  A couple of years ago, Smitty single covered deep was a shot you take.  These days, Smitty single covered by one of the best CBs in the league isn't a shot that you take.  That's just the reality.

maybe 5 yards is exaggerating, but it literally happened right in front of my seats, steve had him beat and if it was a better thrown ball i think its an easy TD

He played amazing the first half, but then the offense as a whole had a fuging meltdown in the second half... I have no idea what the hell happened in that locker room at half time, but the team came out flat as hell the second half.  And that's probably an understatement.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
