It happened to the Chiefs when they were far superior to the Bucs but lost to Brady and company because they had lost so many linemen and couldn't protect Mahomes. The difference was that game was a blowout and this one was really close.
My dream is they get another fairly big name vet to come in and compete for the RT job. If Collins is healthy and 100%, but him at guard. I think he is better suited as a mauler than a dancer anyways. Volson is quality depth and a great find, but can you imagine an offensive line with:
Carman (I think he is a pretty good LT and held up well in just two starts)
Cappa (pretty sure he could play the left side)
Karras
Collins
FA with PFF rating above 70 in run and pass protection.
Of course, they will likely also draft a tackle to develop, but I see secondary as their biggest need right now, which is probably harder to get a vet in FA.
I think Adeniji's ship might have sailed. I haven't broken down how many of his snaps were against Chris Jones, and maybe it was a lot, but you simply can't give up 3 sacks in a game and something like 7 pressures.
Great post. Yes, would like to add a RT in FA. Collins I believe has also played LG before so might be able to leave Cappa right where
he is at. Also agree with your earlier post that the officiating wasn't the reason we lost. That was a tough task to do if we were healthy,
to go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs 4 times in a row, the bad OL was the reason we lost and the refs just a topper.
Will watch Kay's follow up a bit later...
