The Cheifs with their best friend the refs.

Only NFC team giving them a problem is the Eagles. But it's the NFL, any given sunday and all that jazz. Look at the Ravens last year.

Eagles probably only NFC team giving them a game yeah. But Lions are kicking the **** out of everyone they play. They can win in a shootout, win in a street fight, or blow you out. But it is single elimination in the playoffs.
 
Lions don't have a pass rush anymore after losing their top 3 edge players (including the DPOY)... but the secondary is top 5 in NFL, and offense is unstoppable

Payton is a genius QB coach. He turned Brees from a good QB to a hall of famer, he could make anyone from that QB class look good. Nix just needs to learn his system.

I dont know about anyone. His system is hard to figure out given how much you gotta process at the line of scrimmage.

It isn't for every single QB. But if you have a brain and the ability to process it's more than doable. Look at 2019. Brees goes down, Teddy Bridgewater comes in and plays very well.

Teddy's actually a really good fit for Payton's system.

Hiring Raheem Morris was an absolute joke. He was hired because TF wanted someone who wouldn't vie for control. Morris wasn't getting a chance as a HC anywhere else so he'd agree to basically anything TF said. We basically hired him BECAUSE he's a bad HC.

That's not fair.

He was interviewed with the Panthers, Commanders, Seahawks, and Chargers.

Andy Reid has proven this. The Juggernaut he turned KC into is proof of that.

As a lions fan, there's a fine line between patience (Dan Campbell) and pulling the chord asap (Matt Patricia)

I don't watch the falcons but I do think it takes longer than a few games for a coaching regime to take effect. And changing every two years is a recipe for disaster... but you also gotta pull the plug when it's a dead man walking.

Thought needle to thread

Dude was Rooney Ruled across the league. Zero teams had any legitimate interest in him apart from the dysfunctional Falcons.

And we're Koo having an epic meltdown from being 7-4, we're Chris Boswell not being insane from being 7-4. WE've only not been in 2 games. Seahawks and Broncos. We have a clear issue, that's pass rush.

This team is also a few lucky plays away from being 3-8. If Barkley doesn't drop an easy TD they lose to the Eagles. If anything goes wrong against the Bucs in the first game they lose. And if the Saints don't hand the game to the Falcons with the pick 6 then that's a loss too.

This team has probably won more games than it should.

The pass rush is a big issue but not the only one. The LBs have been iffy at best and the secondary has eroded as the season progresses.
