Re: Any given Monday Night Chiefs Gameday Thread
I watched the game this morning (UK time) and have to say I thought it was a definite improvement on D over the Dallas game. And I think Mariota did what he could (he's not JD5!). What disappointed me mainly was two things; play calling on 4th down (and too many screens altogether) and the second half adjustments/Defensive play. Once the scored on that opening drive it felt like half the D had thrown in the towel.
I'm not going to cry for the heads of Quinn and AP though. Last season was 2 giant steps forward, this season is one big one back. I still don't think we realise what a shit stain Snyder and RR left behind.
Whitt doesn't convince me he knows what to do though, or has the guts to call out stuff (like ill discipline and pulling Wagner out of situations he's a liability). The press stuff last week had me thinking DQ was telling Whitt what to do, and I'm still convinced of that. Maybe not in season (as I think those moves almost never work out), but he shouldn't be here next year. He made 0 half time adjustments I could see and seemed afraid to try to pressure Mahomes (Luvu playing spy FFS?). We need to find our own Vance Joseph or Steve Spagnuolo, that knows what to do and when.
