I was always the King of rationalization. In the 70's when we were getting killed, I was always able to rationalize the event by the time I finished my drive home from the stadium. Fortunately I haven't needed that skill for several years. Last night has caused me to resurrect it.
Offensive Line, street free agent at Center, 6th round rookies at RG and RT. They did a much better job than you had reason to expect. Herron, with an O looks like a keeper and Onwenu should be a rookie all teamer. McCourtey drops a pass giving KC 3 points, JC Jackson misses an interception and gives KC 7 points. Hoyer has repeated brain freeze and gives them 6 points. Edelman, whom I dearly love, is an endangered species. He will be able to join Tom and Gronk next year. He gave them 7 points. That's 23 points. A clean game and we win. I can see the ref calling Mahomes down but those are the kind of plays he connects on, falling forward, flipping the ball to a receiver for a first down. Screwed again. If Hjalty can't beat out Ferentz, I don't hold out many expectations for him. Still undecided on Izzo, blocks good, open early overthrown, 2 other targets-int and not a good look at the ball. Everbody is excited about Harris but he didn't look any different than Michel. On his 41 yard run, he was literally untouched until he ran out of bounds. I would have liked to see JJ in there trying some wide runs. That's what got them started against the Raiders. I was really impressed with the defense. Front seven is improving, even thought Bentley was improving. I was scared to death when I saw him man up with the RB on the sideline and he also covered the back deep knocking the ball out. I'm encouraged by what I saw. Lost to two of the best teams, Seattle beat us and we gave it away to KC. So we have a chance, that's all we can ask. P.S. I do not wish to see Hoyer behind center again, ever. Stidham wasn't perfect but throws a nice ball and still may have future possibility.
