I haven't seen an all time bad performance like Toney's tonight since Reche Caldwell cost the Patriots in the AFC Championship.

It's....impressive.

Brady's 2nd to last year in NE he had Gronk, Edelman, Chris Hogan, Josh Gordon and Philip Dorsett and Cordarelle Patterson, that was a deep useful bench of guys that they won the SB with

Then the next year Gronk retired, Edelman got hurt, Hogan left (and was cooked), Josh Gordon fell off the wagon, and Patterson left in FA. Yeah.... that was a problem. Then they traded for Mohammed Sanu who was good! for promptly 2 games before getting a high ankle sprain and was worthless the rest of the way.

Wtf was Andy doing going for it on 4th and 25 from his own 30? That's some Bill level hubris

I still don't mind this too terribly much even though it was very silly. Defense is going to have to make a stop either way, you're just trading the possibility of only needing a field goal for the possibility of needing a TD. Which is not nothing of course, but whatever, the game was kinda over I think we mostly knew. And the defense didn't get the stop anyway.

What I do care about is having a couple of 2nd and 1's and 2nd and 2's deep in Lions territory and ending up settling for field goals on 4th and 2ish both times. Seems like if you're going to go for it you might as well do it then. Especially the second one, you're already up 3 and another 3 doesn't salt the game away.

e: poo poo, this is actually not the worst idea I saw: On the long 4th down run back to the 9 yard line and take a knee. You are mostly guaranteed to get the ball back one way or the other (barring defensive penalties). The only way you lose the game outright is if the Lions score a TD and get a 2 pt conversion. I don't think we'll ever see this happen in a game but it's fun to think about.

But yeah I'd have yanked him after the pick six regardless.

I don't know what you do with Toney if this keeps up. I mean he's getting open, he's got that going for him. And Mahomes will not not throw to an open receiver. It, uh...just yeah, whew. I don't know. Answer is he gets this figured out real quick or you sit him I guess.

can't wait to see the drop highlights, I was listening to it on the radio and even with them trying not to kill Toney it was obvious the guys were dumbfounded by his performance

Dunno where you got your notes from but he was drafted by the Chiefs. His college was the Western Michigan Broncos, so maybe the horse confused you.

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.
I really hope this is Skyy Moore's alternate universe double, and he's snuck into this dimension just to confuse ppl

Agreed, it was a catchable, but inaccurate pass. If you make your receiver slam on the breaks and totally turn around to try to catch a ball then it's no longer an easy catch (his drop-6 was on the other hand a perfect pass). Mahomes was inaccurate a lot last night. Probably because Hutch had him running all night, a lesser QB would have eaten like 6 sacks.

It looks to me like Toney kept slightly speeding up and slowing down (slightly leaning forward or not once he has taken a few steps when is on screen) so I dont think Mahomes knew where to put it because he couldnt tell if Toney was going to settle into the hole in the zone or try to catch and run.

edit: \/\/\/\/ agreed either way.

if you get both hands on the ball it should be a catch, if you don't have to jump or lay out or even have a defender within 3 yards it has to be a catch

So the Chiefs probably had the record on uncalled penalties last night, right? I wonder if someone is going to go through each snap whe6 the RT was both lined up illegally and committed a false start, because it has to be almost every passing down

Besides their 3 blue chip players and the IOL the Chiefs are largely a team of young unproven guys. These lads will improve as the season progresses.

It wasn't just Toney either. You RARELY see such a disgraceful showing for a group of ball catchers in the NFL. Just one gently caress up after another

Pacheco also kind of sucks especially compared to how Montgomery and Gibbs were running

True. And getting caught from behind by a 335 pound defensive tackle isn't a great look either

He dances way too much. Too much wasted motion and often doesn't hit the hole immediately as he should
