    They definitely covered more than 2 seconds much of the game. Mahomes just had enough time for tea and cookies back there. Pass rush was a much bigger issue.

    Tough to tell with 1/3 accurate in your statement.

    We agree the d overall was not good. No pass rush. The coverage was pretty good most of the game and really the run D wasn’t bad except for containing Mahomes.
    Third down D was a real issue. KC went 6/10. Seems no mahomes scramble for 2-3 yard conversions was super annoying and a huge piece to their win.

    We have to address this defense, with Tanny, Henry and AJ we can compete on offense. We don’t have a Patrick Mahomes elite QB, but Tanny has proven that he can get the job done in the right environment.

    But, we’ll need a top tier defense. A defense that can get off the field on third down and doesn’t allow explosive pass offenses like the Chiefs to march downfield and score drive after drive. One stalled drive by our offense and the flood gates opened up because the defense was so porous.

    Pees tried to do what the 49rs did yesterday but we just don’t have the personnel. Rushing 3-4 and trying to cover on the backside. The problem is Mahomes has literally all day to sit back and wait for one of his speedy receivers to get open. The 49rs have a great pass rush, they get home with 3-4 rushers. We can’t. We have address this for next year.

    Our Oline still needs some work too, when facing known passing downs, they get manhandled. I don’t know if it’s the Oline coach or what. They got better as the season went on so I think we have the personnel but something needs to be fixed there as well. We’re really close and I think we can be a consistent contender with a few more pieces.

    Try again. He said IF we had a change of pace RB and nasty D.

    Not an "attack" at Jackson... but if he doesn't improve his throwing, his career will be short - as it tends to be with most "dual-threat" QBs.

    Can't wait to see what the Offense will look like next season. A. Smith will have 1 year of play calling under his belt, no "New" offense to install, (presuming RT is back) RT will have an entire off season, training camp, and preseason with the 1's to adjust what worked and what didn't and timing with the 1'st unit.
    Lot's of positives !!!

    I think it can be both. I do believe we've turned a corner but you could certainly say we got a little lucky. Maybe "lucky" not the right word but I definitely don't think we can expect Henry to keep up this type of production. This in all likelihood will end up easily being the greatest season of his career. Same could probably be said for the tear Tannehill went on after taking over. Not saying they both can't continue to be very, very good. But to expect this to be the new "norm" is probably a bit foolish.
