NFL GDT: Week 16

[Gene Parmesan]

At this point, couldn’t hurt to make a change. Vikings changed OC’s. Ravens famously did it before their SB run.

Why can’t they make a DC change?

Because defenses need athleticism and talent. The Chiefs have little of both at LB and in the secondary. A D.C. change won't change anything about how slow Ragland and Hitchens are at filling run gaps or the lack of ball skills among the corner backs.

So there is no way Jerry Jones let's Zeke play next week right? Him, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, Cooper, Dak, and Dlaw should all rest.

Crap, I do not want to play Seattle in the playoffs

 

[GKJ]

Chiefs averaging 37.5 points scored in their 4 losses.

You’re completely right, the lack of talent on defense is a thing, but Sutton absolutely deserves SOME of the blame. The dude consistently puts his guys in situations to fail, and the defense plays soft and passive in every situation, mentally AND physically.

Basically, not only is there a talent problem, there is a mentality problem. These guys, even the talented ones, look like they wanna get home to their couch. I swear, the Chiefs are just a faceswap of the Jags at this point. No doubt in my mine that this defense is among the worst of all time

Andy Reid never thought linebackers were important, so that's not a surprise.

They are locked into #4 so might as well sit them. Issue is the 53 man roster and whether they have enough guys to play O and D as well as special teams.

I'm not saying Sutton doesn't deserve blame. His scheme sucks. The only thing they do remotely well is rush the passer. If those guys don't get home it exposes the back end.

The key for Chiefs opponents- the OL must block that Chiefs pass rush. If they don't......

You could say that about any team

If you cant protect your QB you will be in trouble

If you're Christmas shopping at that time, maybe you're not that big of a fan. Or you should plan your life schedule better. Or I'm just a bitter Steelers fan.

Unless you basically run the ball on every play and he just hands off.

I'm at a bar so I cant hear the explanation. But why was that ball not down when the broncos touched it on the one yard line? I thought all you had to do as the kicking team was touch it to down the ball

 

[Terry Yake]

so this is more than likely the raiders last home game in oakland?

They usually give the receiving team a few seconds to grab the ball and return it after the touch before it's whistled down. Harris got it pretty much right away which is why he could return it.

I know nobody is watching, but that was a great play by Harris.

Let's go Raiders, do it for THE TOWN

 

[c9777666]

Great story

 

[GKJ]

Raiders some how keep getting a feature game at Christmas. The only time the last 4 years they didn't was the year they were actually good

 

[GKJ]

Is Elway wearing leather gloves?

 

[Halladay]

The NFL is full of dysfunctional franchises, these two seem to apart of that group.

They weren't that bad in 2015 (their 7-9 record was seen as a positive)

 

[Halladay]

that was a terrible roughing the passer call. Good thing no one really cares about this game.

I do damnit

In all seriousness, time for the Raiders to go out Oakland on a high.
