NFL GDT: 2021 AFC Divisional Round: (1) Kansas City Chiefs vs (6) Cleveland Browns

[hatterson]

It’s easy to pretend the final play was poorly called by the defense, but we’re also having the whole football world say they’ve never seen that before.

The call on third down was probably worse TBH.

CLE only getting 17 points was a surprise given the KC defense and what everyone thinks of them

 

[Spring in Fialta]

No one was expecting that playcall. You can't kill the Browns for that.

I'm not. I blame them for their offensive play. Shameful in such a spot.

 

[DueDiligence]

What was the score when Mahomes went out, dude?

Mahomes also had his foot injury in the first half; that already had affected his throwing and slowed his running.

Ok. So Chad henne=Patrick Mahomes, thats the message here.

Tough loss, but can't leave this season unhappy with the Browns. They made massive steps forward and for the first time in god knows how long we aren't questioning whether we need a new coach or new QB entering the offseason or both, with massive steps in the right direction. Now, the D needs to be fixed, but that's a minor issue compared to trying to figure out if you need a new coach and/or a new QB. Tons of positive momentum going forward.

i will be placing a curse on the browns tonight

In fairness to Cleveland, they should have had 24 but an illegal hit robbed them of 7

On the replay, the only thing the CB could do who was playing about 3-4 yards off Hill, was to get closer and jam him. All CBs should be in press coverage at the LOS. Make the QB throw the ball over them, which is harder to complete, versus putting the ball into his WR chest.

Cleveland's Oline was beat up; they are the key to that offense.

KC's defense is good and has been good for like a year

 

[c9777666]

Romo's announcing at the end of that game was amazing. He really is a treasure.

I can't even imagine what lame cookie-cutter line Simms would have said on those last 2 plays

You can for that 3rd and 14 defense.

 

[StreetHawk]

Cleveland's Oline was beat up; they are the key to that offense.

Very few teams have the depth due to the cap to survive multiple injuries to the same position group.

Can't survive if you lose 2 starters of you OL, DL, receiving group, Secondary, LB, etc.

 

[Emperoreddy]

You can for that 3rd and 14 defense.

Yeah I agree. Can't let Henne get a long run on you. That was bad.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

can't really give the browns defense too much shit for that 3rd and 14 play, it IS chad henne

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

For Browns it was bitter ending but overall they should be happy with major strides team has made and they have QB to build franchise around

Alot of positives for Brown fans and organization going forward

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Yeah I agree. Can't let Henne get a long run on you. That was bad.

It was awful. They should be EMBARRASSED.

You won the game.

Don't be bitter that your QB is suddenly mortal.

 

[JeremyTB]

I think the Chiefs offense makes them better than they actually are. The defense is not on the field as much and the defense is playing with the lead majority of the time.

 

[StreetHawk]

3rd and 14, so they were not playing man, so shouldn't have their backs to Henne. He gets flushed to his non throwing side and is still able to get the first down. Have to see the wider shot of that play to see where all of the defenders were to that side of the field as Henne approached the LOS.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

You won the game.

Don't be bitter that your QB is suddenly mortal.

I am and will be.

 

[StreetHawk]

I think the Chiefs offense makes them better than they actually are. The defense is not on the field as much and the defense is playing with the lead majority of the time.

What Defences want is either an offence that puts up points or one that can control the clock to give them time to rest and recover before they have to go back onto the field. If your O can execute 10 play drives and eat up 6/7 minutes a drive off the clock, that is perfect.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I think the Chiefs offense makes them better than they actually are. The defense is not on the field as much and the defense is playing with the lead majority of the time.

Spagnulo's coaching makes them better than the sum of their parts, but overall there's plenty of talent

people forget our d line can generate pressure w/ 4 when they're healthy

i'd argue our offense makes our defense seem worse than they are

 

[TheAngryHank]

I am and will be.

Well good luck next week ,
