theJ Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Obviously the chase-sewell decision has been confirmed. The guy is lightning. Combined with Higgins and Boyd this WR room is lethal. Fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Man, this game felt like it was over early and we just kept coming. Lots of whiny chief fans about bad calls, but I didn't see anything egregious. Just hard work and big plays. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrow isn't going to last getting hit this much year after year. Look what the Chiefs did for their oline from 2020 to 2021. We need to do something similar. 11 hours ago, Beck Bristow said: Man, this game felt like it was over early and we just kept coming.

Their WR's pushed off every bit as much as they think Chase did, if they want it called that close then their is DPI on nearly every play then. Even in this game there were iffy calls against the Bengals, like I said, that's NFL officiating.

Veteran center and a pass rusher. Then add depth along both lines and corner in the draft. Our window is opening, we need to protect 9 better so we keep it open. Yeah, those "bad calls" were calls that got made all game, many against us I. The first half. I don't think Chief fans are used to playing a team with receivers that can pressure the defense the same way they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 reflecting back, that game was so much fun. i had some RL stuff to do, so i only caught the first half and last 5 min. but i watched the highlights of the 2nd half after the fact, and what a wild ride. Things i think i know after yesterday: 1) For the first time since 2005, i think Cincinnati finally has a team that can compete in the playoffs 2) Joe Burrow's penchant for playing big on the big stage wasn't just a college thing. 3) Tee Higgins is a beast, and Tyler Boyd is very dependable, but Jamaar Chase is a game breaker. that first touchdown grab kept that game from swinging toward to a blowout. 4) When i tuned out at halftime, i thought i'd see a KC final score of 45. To see that they only scored 3 points in the second half - hats off to Lou and what he's done with this defense this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates Uzomah Reiff Ogunjobi Huber I guess they can probably cut ties with Trae Waynes. But i would imagine they're going to start talking to Jonah about a long term deal. Trey Hopkins too. Maybe Germaine Pratt? (should be cheap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates and Ogunjobi will be interesting to see. Bates will be expensive if they don't get him under contract as I suspect he'll get franchised. Ogunjobi played well for us, but it might be a choice between him and Hill, who I'm sure is the younger and cheaper player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uzomah fits this team so well, and shouldn't demand top tier money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins is good enough to be WR1 on almost any team, but Chase is a top 5 NFL WR the next decade. That's just different.

To see that they only scored 3 points in the second half - hats off to Lou and what he's done with this defense this season. Lou's blitz mix in's were on point in the 2nd half, and huge credit has to go to the big time game from Awuzie, that has been a HR free agent pickup every bit as important as Hendrickson. We're 1 starting CB, 1 depth edge rusher, and 1 depth LB away from having a very good defense. 15 minutes ago, Beck Bristow said: Do we overpay Uzomah?

I bet we can get Uzomah back for something like 3 years, $21 mil. he and Joe have a good report, and he's a locker room leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Germaine Pratt? (should be cheap) If they cut waynes, they will have over 70 mill to play with, plus carry-over. What i would do is try to use the rest of this year's cap space on BJ Hill and Apple. At least get the ball rolling. Then turn to Bates. if he still wants top S money, he gets tagged for two straight years. It's way cheaper to go that route, but you have a scorned player, so we shall see. Uzomah already plays in a pass happy offense. Keep him at what he makes now (the same $7 mill per). Huber is probably retiring. That's whaty we have been keeping Cristman at arm's length. I'm fine with moving on from Reiff. Giove me Trent Brown at RT. Then get a better center (Evan Brown of Detroit, who played well filling in for Ragnow). Other sityes have suggested trying to land Scherff, which would render Spain obsolete. If they don't get a proven young guy, another year of Reiff wouldn't be bad. I just want better. Ogunjobi comes down to price. If we fill these other spots in free agency, then use the 9 draft picks to fill remaining holes. So if other teams break the bank for Larry O, let him go for the money. If they get him back for mid to hi 7 figures, keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. i had convinced myself that they could contend. the team was good enough. in the back of my mind, i always wondered what would happen when they were challenged by another really good in a playoff game. specifically, what would have happened to Dalton. maybe we'd have been surprised...i don't know.
