The SB showed us about having a solid O-line

Mahomes magic could not get it done. He was running for his life. Brady didn't play lights out. He had a good line and game plan. But the Bucs LB's were killer and they put pressure on QBs and knew how to cover a great TE's. Having Mahomes and all that weapons did nothing for them. All the talk of having a franchise QB doesn't mean a lot when you don't have a team around him. Look at both teams for confirmation. All the talk of how bad we need a franchised QB is not the end all - be all answer. 

We need Moton back and a solid LT ASAP (draft or FA). Maybe when the cap lower next season, someone will be available that we didn't expect.

A solid offensive line allows you to compete with anyone, but the game is made for the o-line to eventually lose on every play if it goes on long enough.

We have to improve the O-line. Retain Moton; grab competent, durable LT; develop one new guard; retain other veteran guard; grab next C in draft if possible. Add TE support.

Here's a mock I did last night around the end of the game.

I wasn't intentionally going OL heavy, it just worked out that way.  Humphrey and Meinerz were the best guys on the board at positions of need when it was my turn to pick.  I'm taking a LT in the 2nd round regardless.  That would solidify our OL for several years! Oh, and re-signing Moton this offseason too.

They’re definitely important and I don’t think anyone would say differently. Chiefs didn’t have their all pro right tackle and pro bowl left tackle. We don’t need elite line play we need solid play. Mahomes barely got time in that pocket and they kill teams with those deep passes. He looked like he was back at Texas tech running around playing backyard football. It was ugly. His receivers didn’t help the situation.

....we still need a franchise QB more than anything.

No one can cover KC's weapons if you give Mahomes time to anticipate. He had no time last night. poo, he still nearly threw a half a dozen miracle bombs running for his life. 

This was the first time someone was able to get to him as quickly as that. It didn't help that they couldn't get that kind of pressure on Brady, either. Remmeber that was the same QB who threw 3 INT's the week before.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
