I don't know how many 3rd and 8 or 2nd and 14 type plays where we line up in some goal line looking formation and run some kind of reverse, tossing the ball to the ball-carrier 5-8 yards behind the line of scrimmage I can stomach. What exactly is the strategy behind chucking the ball 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage to a ball carrier who then has to kill himself to pick up 10 yards just to g

I think with a win on Sunday, we'll be able to avoid the "airing of grievances" tradition of Festivus.

Did anyone else notice the Chiefs one dimensional offensive gameplan? Hail-mary, Hail-mary, throw a bomb down field, Hail-mary.... all with a few L.J. runs and QB rushes sprinkled in between. It was ridiculous to watch. Thigpen kept hurling the ball down-field often into double coverage, either hoping for a pass interference call or a spectacular catch. Lucky for us the wind was ferocious

Are you serious, no one noticed this? Early in the game on one of their first big collisions, Chris Long completely manhandled Jake blasting over and around him. He just pushed him over like a rag doll and Jake fell to the ground, while Chris got up in Pennington's face pressuring him and disrupting the play. I think Chad was just barely able to throw it away as Long knocked him down. And

Today was a rough day. Watching us struggle the way we do can be so frustrating. So we start with two false start penalties that are complete nonsense, clearly offsides on the defense according to my own 3 minute DVR review of the play. Then we miss a bunch of big plays, tackles behind the LOS for a loss, a few near sacks, etc. (although the secondary did warm up later in the game picking Bulger
