No clue. The only Cowboy over there was double covered. If there were three Chiefs and only one Cowboy in that area somebody had to have been wide open somewhere.

He literally laid it out in his post game presser.

I hate how every rapper these days just lip syncs over a backing track. I saw Outkast and The Roots and J5 back in the day when it was an actual real concert.

This is a good game. Fun watch.

It happened while I was in college. Freshman and sophomore year my dorm TV was in ESPN pretty much 24/7. It was either live sports or a constant cycle of SportsCenter. Cool. I'm down. Then came Around the Horn and the network very quickly became just shows of random idiots yelling at each other. It was entertaining at first but the novelty of it wore off very quickly first me and it went from entertaining to annoying very quickly.

This is the problem with Bryce at QB. Unless everything goes perfectly the result is likely to be a negative play and everything rarely goes perfectly in the NFL because those are professional football players coached by professional football coaches on the other side of the ball too.

I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.

Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face. -
Yeah, it's just not for me. The whole screaming hot takes version of sports media is just incredibly played out. It's lazy and boring and I don't know why anyone is still tuning into it.

Pretty much this. Love Cam but he needs to take a look in the mirror and realize he's becoming what he despised as a player.

He owes it to his best offensive player to sit down and have the conversation. Listen man, I got caught up in the game and I thought I saw opportunities there and I fuged up. I'm sorry. I should've fed you the ball. -

Well, we built on that momentum alright. LOL Trying to prop up a QB with a game plan instead of trying to do your best to win a game with the tools you have at your disposal is what you do with a rookie early on in his career on a bad team. It's not what you do with a 3rd year #1 overall pick when you're shockingly sitting at 6-5 and playing for the division lead. I mean, I get the temptation. I really do. You see all these stacked boxes and you know there's opportunities in the passing game but your opponent is constantly stacking the box for a reason. They WANT to take away the run and force you to throw. Taking away the run from yourself via play calling is just giving them what they want. Yeah, the box is stacked. fug it. Force them to key on the run anyway. We have to use the run to setup the pass. You can't be a pass first offense with Bryce Young at QB.
