Just got back from the game. Ill try and summarize my thoughts and post them in the post game thread..
1. Arrowhead was INCREDIBLY loud. Only way I can describe it is go sit by the scoreboard at a basketball game and try to hear the guy next to you when the horn goes. I couldn't hear the people right next to me.
2. The OLine got worse. The strip sack happened right in front of me and Solder flat out got beat off the snap and whiffed. There were ZERO running lanes for RBs tonight. Constantly hit in the back field.
3.When Vereen wasn't hit in the backfield, he was SOO timid. Never hit the hole hard. He looked bad
4. Gronk looks slowed a bit, but was constantly bracketed and chipped at the line. That TD was in front of my section and was damn impressive. Took on three guys, but I was scared when the brace popped off his arm. Tim Wright, why did we trade for him? He rarely played and gave up our vet on the line and captain
5. WRs: I've said it before , I'll say it again. LaFell was a bright spot due to two missed tackles. Edelman was blanketed all night. Amendola.... BB let his ego get in the way of resigning Welker, who could get open quick.
6. TB12 was not good. Hard to fault him for his play when he constantly is bumped, pushed, or has a lineman in his face. As I said before, no way he could communicate. Multiple pass plays where a WR stayed in to block. No run game means the DEs can pin their ears back. The interior line is bad which pushes Tom back into the DEs running circles around Vollmer and Solder. TB had no chance on the strip and the last pick I truly believe was him just trying to fit a ball in and make something happen.
7. Defense was atrocious. BB bend but don't break will struggle vs Manning and Smith type QBs who will take what you give them. Smith consistently hit check downs and slants. Btw, BB great job playing zone and getting picked apart, then having Revis play man(rarely) and give cushion. This ISNT how Revis made his $$. The game plan obviously sucked, McDaniels sucked, BB sucked
