I don't know what Shad sees in him. I think there's now an element of dysfunction in the building. Doug is becoming Coughlin-esque. Baalke and his scouts are paperwork clerks now. Head coaches are notorious needs pickers. Baalke needs to push back with, "Simmer down! Strange will be there in the 3rd or I'll buy you lunch tomorrow" and "I just signed Johnson and extended Hasty. Seriously, Dougie, no more running backs. Go to the break room and grab a snickers. You're not yourself when you're hungry."

No defense has shown they can consistently shut that offense down.

We could have picked the 3 best defensive players in the draft, and we aren't shutting that offense down.

If you can't beat them, join them.

They aren't wasting their time trying to build a team to stop KC, they are working on building a team that can run with KC and to out score them.

No one can shut them down, but Cinci has slowed them down. Held them to less than 25 points in 3 of 4 games. And the Bengals even won the game where the Chiefs scored more than that.

But yes historically the Mahomes' led Chiefs will score 28 points. So you have to plan to be able to score that many, and then hope you defense can make some big timely plays to force TO's, force a few FG's or punts.

Good point. However, Philly is clearly trying to build up waves of pass rushers to throw at Mahomes in the Super Bowl rematch, much like the NY Giants unleashed on Brady.
