Yea. Kinda hard to understand why unless it’s purely psychological. 

Between the grind of a longer season and the immense turnover that usually happens (personnel and coaches) i feel like it's just hard to do unless you're the chiefs and you get pushed there by horrible officiating

I think we are missing some obvious things in the Hurts "drama” this week. 

Brown targeted the entire passing offense with his comment.  He was 4 catches on four targets last Sunday. Devonta was 4 of six and Dotson 1 of two.  I said after the game and stand on it, Moore called a disjointed game.  The first quarter failure is squarely on Nick’s, Moore’s and PATULLO’s shoulders. WTF does an offensive pass coordinator do?  Most slow starts are with the passing game.  Falls on his shoulders a lot.  The OL had a rough game in pass blocking and were pretty bad in blitz pickup.  It wasn’t just Hurts.  And Hurts isn’t solely responsible at close to a 70% completion rate. Against that defense, running the ball made sense.

That said, we are missing something obvious about Hurts and BG’s comment.  Of course, he and AJ aren’t hanging together as much this year.  Hurts got married this September and on Oct 13th became a Dad. Pretty drastic change in social life those first few months.   So in the last two months, Hurts has faced the 40 day rule with his wife (recovery from pregnancy) with the first two months of a child learning to sleep at night.  Some of us forget what being a new Dad is like that first two months?  The Beats have even cited that Hurts was helping with night duty.  Over 35 years ago for me and I can remember how tired I was with our first born.  I probably wasn’t processing quickly then either.  Hell, I figure the discussion between AJ and Devonta on the sideline was what advice they could give Hurts about moving the baby to five hours of continuous sleep at night.  Both have gone through that already with their first borns.  Couple that with the impact soreness from playing has on sleep and we are probably seeing Hurts at his most worn out period of the season.  Good news is today, his daughter hits two months, which is usually when sleep patterns start to adjust and even if his wife had a C section, his wife has probably recovered enough so she is taking on more of the night duty allowing him to overcome the tiredness fog and get more sleep.

No locker room is impervious to drama. If you win things go great, if you lose, they don't.

And if you have AJ Brown, your locker room gets wrecked even if you’re winning. Because…….PaSsINg 🙄

It's the offense that Hurts wants to run

Closest thing I can think of is Antonio Brown. But...that was also Antonio Brown. 

I thought of him too. Him and Vonte Davis I think it was, both retired from the game mid game. 

Still a shame about Davis. Gone far, far too early.

Yeah it seems like the film breakdowns say it's like whack a mole with the problems that have happened on our bad plays. No one cause.

We just have a weird and ugly offense, I think that having such a great rushing attack is almost hard to deal with for modern coordinators especially with how great the receivers are, too many options and too many mouths to feed

 

 

The Final Stretch is here who will trip up first.    Can the Birds get this Bye Week and #1 Seed?  I think they can, just keep winning.

Huh? Hurts announced he was engaged in September, they never got married. There is also nothing saying he had a kid. There was one random Twitter rumor and nothing more. No beat writer ever said anything about it or being on night duty. She was even in Brazil and while in the picture you can’t tell shes pregnant there would be something out on the internet of Hurts with a 8 month pregnant fiancé.

Because Stafford plays poorly in a game, it's ok for Hurts to play poorly? That the logic you're going with?

I pointed it out because of the hypocrisy. The Hurts haters will gloss over Purdy and Stafford for stinking, and gush over how they'd take them over him. yet they'll blow things way out of proportion when it comes to Hurts having a bad game. We got tons of pages of fans whining about how it's always been a problem and "the passing offense is broken" nonsense.

Not hard. Teams deal with turnover and injuries a lot following a SB appearance. What the Chiefs are doing is impressive (albeit extremely lucky), as they just keep winning after continually going/winning. Mahomes has been bad for the most part this season, but they've found ways to win. He was bad last year too, but they won. 

Anyway, couldn't be happier for what the whiners are going through 😄

Wow, they pulled it out.   I fell asleep after the 1st half, I think Stafford 23 yard and it was raining. A lot of punts.  Anyways, Rams just threw a huge monkey wrench in the NFC Playoffs.  They are now 1/2 game back for the Division and Wild Card.   So outside of Minny who has a strong lead for 5th Seed.   Washington and Seattle are not locked in with the Rams on their heels.  Greenbay is still up on both Washington and Rams.  Plus they play Seattle so that could shake up things more..  I'm not shocked after an explosion like 44 points, you come back down to Earth a little bit.  Plus bad weather.  Rams started 1-4, now they've gone 7-2.

That’s not what tweets from PHLY and The Athletic said.  I want to say I saw a tweet about Burrows being pregnant last year too.  Could be wrong.

Super Bowl winners also deal with turnover and injuries. Point was it’s the Super Bowl losers that have the "hangover”, not really the winners. Look at history

2013: Seahawks win Super Bowl, next season make Super Bowl

2014: Patriots win Super Bowl, next season make AFCCG

2015: Broncos win, next season go 9-7 (this team did have a lot of turnover and Manning retired)

2016: Patriots win SB, next season back in SB

2017: Eagles win SB, next season in NFCD round

2018: Patriots win SB, next season lost in WC but was 12-4 

2019: Chiefs win, next season back in SB

2020: Bucs win, next season 13-4 but lost in NFCD round

2021: Rams win, next season they sucked

2022: Chiefs win, next season back in SB

Meanwhile SB losers are the ones that tend to deal with bad following seasons. The only team recently I can think of that lost a SB and got back the next season is the Patriots. That’s why I mentioned psychological because there has to be something else that SB winners don’t deal with, and I’d guess it’s all the work put in to just come up short has to be draining and carry over into the next season.

Yea, I agree with this but it just seems like it affects the losers more than the winners. It very well could be just by chance but the Patriots and Chiefs seem to not have that problem. 

Helps to have HoF QBs (and possibly the two best players to ever do it) to avoid stronger regressions to the mean.

The upcoming Commies game has legs.  Not just eliminate them from winning the division, knock them out of the playoffs.

I think that is testimony about how AR doesn’t get stripped of coaches nowadays.  Looks like Spags sticks with him.  What does it say about Doug and Nick that the coaches they lost failed as head coaches and Flip as an OC.  Closest thing to success is Gannon.
