Somebody already said it... But the Spags hire was a "buddy" hire...

Been saying the same thing since TC. Way back in the "Biggest Weakness" thread.Thought they were one of the worst units in the league. |

Pennel almost single handily shores up the middle of the d.
I’m flabbergasted he wasn’t playing. I have no explanation |

I really did like veach up until recently. Not grabbing the linebacker philly cut was inexcusable. It was a no downside no risk move that he didn’t make.

To some extent I'm glad that happened so our defense doesn't develop a mentality that our offense will keep bailing out defense out. But this offense at full strength and without really stupid mistakes would have won this game despite our complete defense and special teams incompetence. |

When Spagnuolo was hired didn't he say something to the effect of we have the MVP, great offense, so the D has to be just good enough? I fear that lax attitude is trickling down and always in the back of their minds.
I am even willing to bet that the buddy hire conversation between Reid and Spagnuolo went something like "Hey Spags I have this generational kid who will do my offensive bidding, just oversee the D so that I can focus on the best looking 3rd and 2 TE screens". |

The 2014 defense didnt make the playoffs because the offense didnt have 1 single TD reception. Houston tied the record for sacks and they didnt allow 1 300 yard passer all year. That's pretty damn good.

I agree with this. The offense and team in general are heavily dependent on pat nailing those shots. It’s not that we necessarily HAVE to be like that (we did good with a ball control style) it’s just that we’re letting mahomes be the hero so he needs to also deliver. I have no doubts this team would be in a similar position if we were playing a different type of tempo offense. Also the left tackle is ****ing everything up. Once fisher gets back this team changes completely. Fisher and PENNELL need to be in the ****ing game desperately. |

Btw that 14 defense did that without DJ and Berry for most of the year.

Sutton's shitty, soft "numbers" defenses should never be held up as a positive. Ever.
That guy ****ing sucked worse than Reid and isn't even worthy of holding the piss bucket for Marty, Cowher, and Stram to piss in. THOSE guys knew how to build a defense that ate souls for shits and giggles. |
