With the way Williams played on Sunday, I expect the Chiefs to bow out of the Mack trade talks.

Goodbye, Sam.

That's the KOD (kiss of death) right there. Sam's done.

We have 1 pick in rounds 1-3.

We need a new Center badly. FA, or draft, we can't go into 2022 with Matt Paradis.

Caleb Williams is not eligible until the 2024 NFL Draft. Do a Riley/Williams package like Arizona did with Kingsbury/Murray?

It's the right move. If you want your team to be defense-forward, you need your whole team built around that. Run the ball, no turnovers, play good defense, and make just enough plays in the passing game to win. It's classic Rivera. It's classic Fox. It now seems like it's also classic Rhule/Snow. This philosophy can get you to 8-9 wins. On rare instance, your offense can get hot and make a bit of run, but it's a far more difficult way to try to win. Not only are the rules slanted toward offense, but as you've seen, there are just some phenomenal athletes on offense. Those guys are going to be beat perfect defense. Think about the TD that Horn gave up in Week 1 to Davis, or the TD that Thielen scored yesterday. (a small aside: its clear Rhule is a figurehead/motivator for Snow, but philosophically, Rhule's longtime mentor is the leader of the team).

No one cares that he's younger than Joe Burrow anymore...

When we were 3-0, I said it was more like 2002 than 2003, but nobody wanted to listen.

Moton looked awful on the left. Erving to LG, and Christensen to LT. Keep Moton on the right.

Like the guy who the Bears drafted with our second round pick who hasn't played a single down.

Fitt wasn't the GM when we went all defense in the draft. His one draft was about evenly split between offense and defense

I fear a similar game to the Vikings game last year where we control most of it but Kirk Cousins does Kirk Cousins things and pulls out a miracle fourth quarter come from behind win.

Just @Giants, @Atl, Atl, WFT, @Dolphins, Pats get us to 9 wins which was a reasonable (even optimistic) expectations going into the season.

The irony is that in the preseason 9-8 or 8-9 was seen as a reasonable to optimistic view.

Ideally, that's how we'd used Chinn.

When teams commit to taking away Tyreek Hill deep, Andy calls drag routes for him to catch and run. Brady could do something similar for Anderson. Maybe he is but the line isn't allow for that either, I don't know.

His play will fall off not long after he turns thirty if he doesn't radically change his play style. Hopefully he can get a chip before then.

I'm more worried about their evaluation process. They said yes to Teddy, and then yes to Sam. They looked at Fields and Jones and said no.

The defense forced two turnovers in the third quarter. We were still outscored 7-0.

I've had the same thought. The question is where is 2022's version of 2003's Jake Delhomme?

This season will be more like 2002 than 2003.

I mentioned in another thread that I'm curious what we do defensively. We're primarily a man to man team, but that doesn't typically play well against a quarterback as mobile as Hurts is.

AJ Bouye is currently wearing #24 on the Panthers roster.
