Pastor Dillon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thursday was our worst pass block win rate in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Settle down guys lol. KC is really effin good. They played into Feb. Brought everyone back. Oh and are the Super Bowl Champs. Yes we looked rusty and bad. Most teams not named the Chiefs will. It’s one game, and not the end of the world. Now if we don’t start to see improvement from the line and the LB’s after 2-3 games then can worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, Watson was smart to not force the INT other than that one play, which wasn't really his fault, the blocking assignments were all wrong (come on, Fells?). My only issue with that game was the tackling, which I believe will improve and the very vanilla play calling. I am concerned about the offense clicking right now, hoping it is just cause they need time to gel. Still a chance of 15-1 (well... 1% chance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing this game was a foregone conclusion. How we lost is incredibly concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like how unmotivated we seemed coming out of the gate. Which is on OB and DW. If Murray comes up with that pick in the 2nd and/or Kiaimi makes that FG before half it’s a whole different ball game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's one of my takeaways - when the team doesn't perform well, it's just as much on Watson as it is BoB. Before you argue - Watson is now the 2nd highest paid player in NFL HISTORY. The equation changes when you're in this category, you're no longer able to say "well, he doesn't have an OL" or "his WRs were doing him no favors" or "coaching let him down". When you're making $40mm/year, the buck stops with you - as a player, you need to make plays to hide the deficiencies of the team, not play down to your teammates. This loss is expected, and blame is just as much on how good KC is as well as how bad we we were. The lack of competetive performance? That is heavily on Watson. I'll say this - of those that failed on Thursday, I have the greatest faith of Watson turning it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still trying to get my head wrapped around that one. Dude didn’t look like he belonged on an NFL field. definately looked, for one game anyway, that we miscalculated in choosing to pay him and not Reader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was completely botching tackles and was worthless in coverage. If this is how Cunningham is post contract, that's going to be a tough deal to swallow. But, I am going to credit it to a great KC team along with a bad job preparing for this opponent by BoB and Weaver... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve watched bob constantly be unprepared for big games so there’s little hope but I’m trying to believe that the lack of pre season is to blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Cunningham's flaws were technique - didn't get low enough on his tackle attempts, was grabbing instead of wrapping up, etc. So, it's not a stretch to think it's a lack of a preseason.

That’s exactly what I think it is. Camp the way OB probably ran it didn’t help anyone. It’s going to take 2ish games of live bullets flying to start to round into game shape and kicked the rust off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have taken perfect efforts to win both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
