Pratt Gone

trying to strip the ball and it was a bad habit the rest of the Defense took up. We need our Linebackers to learn how to take good angles, wrap 
up and tackle while being able to cover. Pratt brought none of this, game changer? Give me a break.

You must have missed the big games and primetime games last season where he shined. I'd recommend rewatching the biggest game of them all Denver.  Where like many, we lose without Pratt's game changing plays in clutch. 

Look, having a Star QB and hall of fame players isn't enough to get to a SB. Ask Palmer, Allen, Lamar...  Bengals are dangerously close if not there to not having players who know how to win a big game.

Palmer had hall of fame players, as does Lamar, Allen not so much. It's significantly hard to get to the SB without the these big game players... Even with stacked rosters. We are already short the big game players we had in 2021 and 22. And hope as much as you want but the likelihood that we are in Divisional round and out territory is much greater than SB bound the more players we lose. 

It just won't happen. KC isn't the most talented outside of maybe 3 players but they have big game players. They have players who know how to win. Palmer had a hall of fame line, hall of famers on the Dline, Hall of famers at WR and couldn't win a big game here.
