The Chiefs but for one season. What exactly is you point? 

 

We haven't proven anything. Yet. Except that we can win against bad teams.

 

I'm not really expecting you to comprehend this, since you always quote me with the most asinine drivel you can come up with.

All jokes aside, I'm glad I can think for myself rather than mindlessly droning the company line at each opportunity and trying to pass it off as "impartiality."

Bro you need to take this stuff less seriously, they don't need you to defend every poor decision they make. God knows they could use the accountability.

Bragging about 'thinking for yourself' loses its impact when you've demonstrated that you don't do it very well.

Freaking out and coming up with crazy conspiracy theories and making suicide references over a guy taking OL drills makes for a pretty good demonstration.

In the first sentence we have an insult that is rooted in nothing but an attempt to counter a previous retort by turning the tables around but provides no such example and really only comes across as some elaborately worded pee wee herman "i know you but what am I" offshoot.

 

The second sentence is even more comical because you suggest I'm touting a conspiracy theory-when it happens to be one which you have actively proclaimed to believe in, and it's concluded with a statement that we already happen to know to be false when we look at the information taken form multiple sources including the head coach himself.

Some of you find it hard to understand why this move would be questioned. Let's start with some basic facts:

 

1) As a defensive tackle, Fua has not made one significant play in 3 years on the field. Not one. Star, KK, Cole, Dwan all made more plays in their first 6 games than Fua has in his 3 year career. This does not indicate he is either powerful or has good footwork.

 

2) 6'1" guards are not the norm in the NFL. It is not as though he has prototypical measureables.

 

3) Our o-line has been a bit dicey since training camp. They have performed better than expected, but the team has had to adjust game plans to cover up this weakness.

 

4) 25% of our o-line roster is now made up of conversion projects.

 

5) We are more than 10 million under the cap.

 

6) The team is good enough to go to the playoffs and make some noise with decent o-line play.

 

I could go on and on. The point is, doesn't it seem far more likely we might find a serviceable guard by looking in the ranks of people that have played the position before and have the size and strength to indicate they might have some upside with good coaching?

 

The move is a head-scratcher, and only the hard core homers would think otherwise.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
