KC was destroyed on the edges last night, and there was a deficit in the middle too because their top notch guard was playing on the edge.
Lesson is: You have to have a complete, quality OL with depth to face a defense like that.
I know we need to upgrade our defense - big time. But KC lost because they could not protect their franchise. That is priority # 1. Everything else comes after that.
Nice observations 3wt. I agree, protect Joe Burrow has to be our #1 priority. It is nice that we have some good Tackles but we need a couple
good Guards to put us over the top to compete with a team like the Eagles. We hung with them for the first half when we played them because
of spectacular play from Joe, but it caught up with us and it shown who the real Champ was going to be IMO.
When we played the Eagles, I could see this coming. That team is built the right way, from the trenches out.
