Saunders only played 25% of the defensive snaps and Ragland only played 17 snaps!! We also sat Pennel. No wonder why we couldn’t stop the run

Yep

I know an important game against an AFC opponent, who have problems against, is a great time to try and get your rookie RB some playing time.

Stupid ****ing choices.

Sorry but the offense gets the blame too.

Sammy’s drop, Damien’s fumble and Pat missed an easy open Tyreek TD with no pressure.

Thompson only played 5 offensive snaps

This is the story of the game. I mean, WTF.

Mahomes put up 450 yards and 3 TDs. We really gonna blame Mahomes? We scored 32 points!! You think that would be enough but nope

Exactly.

All the hand-wringing over the screen pass (with a lousy interior line and a RB stable that fumbles like crazy) or the TO on the 2-pt (that didn't matter since we only used 1 of those TOs anyway).

The screen was defensible to clever; it was a safe call with a solid chance of working out that the D just sniffed out - happens. The TO didn't matter and I actually kinda understand why he did it.

But what in the **** was the defensive gameplan? Why the hell didn't we have Pennel on the active roster? Why didn't we play Ragland? Saunders shows growth for 3 weeks and can't get on the field? Why'd we play that team like they were some finesse short-passing team? What the hell was the defensive staff thinking/doing?

If Reid takes any bullets for yesterday, it's the amount of autonomy he gives his coaches. He doesn't have a hand in the RB assignments according to anything I've read. That's all Bienemy (and he isn't the reason our RB stable blows to begin with). He doesn't select the defensive alignments/gameplan - he puts that on Spags. He doesn't actively involve himself with the STs because he trusts Toub like he's a spouse.

And all of those guys absolutely shit the bed yesterday. Andy is a 'CEO style' coach who doesn't actively involve himself in everything but rather tries to delegate to the extent he's able. And the guys he delegated to vomited all over themselves yesterday. The defense and STs were a !@#$ing trainwreck and at some point you do have to say the buck stops with Andy and if he's gonna have to either put his hand on the tiller or sink with the guys he's putting his trust in.

He shouldn’t have been active.

It’s like Spags thought the Titans were a passing team. Joey ****ing IVie got more snaps than Saunders. IVie got 37% of the defensive snaps. Holy hell Spags

Amen

You think we lost the game because we depended on Mahomes too much?

I wondered at draft time why everybody was excited for Darwin Thompson.

Still wondering.

Let us also not forget that the game-winner LAST week was partially blocked.

What the **** is it that Toub does around here at this point? Flags on every return, blocked kicks, a non-existent return game and an idiot returner that keeps making the same mistakes.

Our STs have been an abortion this year and probably cost us (another) football game. I mean FFS, if you're not gonna be a solution, at least don't be the problem STs. You're the third wheel along for the ride; stop actively sabotaging these games.

When you pass so much it allows the time of possession to be shorter as if you were running the ball you would take time off the clock. With Moore they were running the ball but Mahomes first game back he threw 50 passes!!
