I would like to nominate Chris Collingsworth to this discussion. His voice almost makes the game unwatchable. I mute him frequently.
Collinsworth has a grating voice and he never will STFU so you can just listen to the game. Just way too much talking.

How can he talk with Mahomes balls in his mouth? Extremely talented commentator.

Honestly I have tuned out all of them. Its just background noise now. I think being in the gameday thread helps with that because most of the time I dont even hear what they are saying. Im too busy keeping Booze from wandering around the different threads.

Yeah, if the second TE is going to mainly block -- which makes sense with CeeDee and Pickens and Ferg -- then play the better blocker.

It's probably another Tolbert situation with Jerry, though.

Updated TURD projection: 124 catches 811 yards 15 TDs.

Has there ever been a weirder stat line for a receiver?
It's nothing bad but one particular play we keep running to him that he just isn't capable of turning into anything any longer. Its why he has so many catches for such a low average. He is still useful, obviously in the redzone and he will make some clutch catches. But we need to stop with the bootlegs and him running 2 yards past the line of scrimmage to catch it.

I do not feel reassured by this win. It's nice to win, don't get me wrong, but the skins were severely handicapped. How often do teams have to play without all 3 of their starting WRs? Other than Dak's performance, I am unimpressed. I don't think we've solved anything. I'd say there is less than a 10% chance we go into Denver and beat them.

I mean we have played games without 2 of our top 3 WRs and 4/5ths of the Oline but I get it. Man coverage against scrubs can be deceptive. Because man coverage against good receivers is a million times more difficult. I'm not buying into this defense until we see some sort of consistency.

Regardless the offense is a blast to watch. But when the defense is absolutely miserable to watch it still ruins everything. I'm still not convinced we can defend even a below average offense.

Im the same way. Will get a better feel this week on how much the defensive changes mattered.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure we'll lose to Denver.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think the Broncos offense is really that great. I'm not a big fan of Bo Nix. They have a top notch offensive mind, but there offensive talent is kind of meh at best. So it's not exactly what I think is a super tough test. But I'll take two weeks of good defense regardless if we can put it together.

They're 16th in passing and 7th in rushing. They've gotten good production out of Dobbins. It will depend on how well we defend the rush and whether we can pressure Nix. If we can't get to him and he routinely has 5 seconds in the pocket, he will look like Dan Marino.

Even if its just average the WRs have to be better than what the skins played with.

In my opinion it's more like, can you just cover everyone. I don't care what the rush does, if you leave guys wide open even a dork like Nix is going to complete it. I however don't think in tight coverage that he is capable of delivering the ball and completing passes down field. So if you can just run man and have dudes in the vicinity I think the rush will have a chance to get to Nix.

And yeah probably more important is stopping Dobbins. A RB I have always liked but has never really gotten respect in the NFL because of injuries. Not all that different than our RB.

They played without 3 of their starting wide receivers??
