I don't know what is going on in the system. The biggest argument for Rod's system was always tough forecheck and not giving up too many good chances to the opponent, rip enough shots and play dirty hockey in front and down low, win. I think of the 12 teams with most games played in the playoffs, we gave up the least amount of goals. But we just can't generate scoring against contenders and I refuse to believe it is because our guys are incapable of scoring. 

There's something funky with the way we're setting up. I think it's just that we have played this style so consistently that teams are adjusting and finding answers to it and Rod has not enough set plays and gameplans that deviate from dump and chase or carry and look for a crosser or netfront. 

Rod has to figure it out. We have insane talent on this team and if we don't start putting up goals, we're going to languish as perennial contenders who can't get it done.

To be fair ...our gripe is timely goals when we need em. In terms of scoring overall...we are doing far better than most teams. Like top 6 in the league in goals for. 

 

This is a good problem to have. We're griping that we're less dominant than we should be. There's a reason record in the last 10 games is a stat tracked. Lol

He needs new coaches around him. He wont get new coaches around him. Therefore, he is the problem.

      BREAKING NEWS: Panthers hiring new coach

      By OceanRider · Posted

      Aside from your personal opinions on Trump, what bottlenecks exist that prevent qualified people from having success? If the candidate is talented and successful in what he has done already, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t be considered for the job. What does the color of someone’s skin have to do with anything?   From what I can tell, diversity hires only block qualified talent and lowers standards.

      Go Chiefs, I hate the iggles as much has any NFC south team

      Star players always get preferential treatment. It's not nearly as bad in the NFL as say, the NBA, but it literally does happen in all major professional sports. In college the preferential fugery is absolutely off scale. It's been that way for decades. It makes financial sense. Your stars players and teams drive fan interest and revenue. They care less about hardcore fans because they know very few of them are gonna go anywhere. Hence the pining after extremely casual followers(not even fans) with the Taylor Swift horseshit. It's a way to increase interest and revenue, although it will be predictably very temporary. For all our bitching and complaining about the dumb European games, that has actually worked to create some lasting interest in Europe. And that is a project going back to the late 80's with the early iterations of NFL Europe.  Same with the rule changes to foster more offensive play. Does the league really want Ricky Manning Jr. shutting down a star player because he can hang all over them? Do they want Peyton Manning getting knocked out by a rotational DL that dove at his knees? These are all efforts to expand the fanbase, increase the value of the NFL and member franchises(like the initiatives to include the ultra wealthy only as owners) that ultimately are designed for maximum profitability and longevity. It sucks for the fans but all of it makes logical sense and it isn't really some grand conspiracy.

      I'm all in on the Chiefs and have been for a few years now.  Mahomes is the best player in NFL history, period, and I feel privileged to be alive to witness his assault on the record books.
