And? That was the league this past season…everyone dealt with the same s**t. We all talked about having the easiest schedule before the season started, didn't end up like that. Played in the best division that had the first 3 team 12 win division.

You want to talk about easy go look at what the COTY got for a schedule and who he played at QB. Easiest road to a Super Bowl ever. Bro didn't deal with the amount of injuries that Kyle did either.

Andy couldn't even beat the f**king Raiders without Mahomes. The Rams lost to Bryce.

It was an easy schedule lol. Just because everyone else had one doesn't mean we didn't have one either

Your name on here is so fitting cuz you've got to be full on Charlie Sheen to make these posts.

We played in the best division in the NFL. Even when we played the Cardinals week 3 they were 2-0 and haven't completely fallen apart cuz of injuries(almost like those play a factor)

All these teams around the league who were anywhere close to us in injuries didn't make the playoffs. You'd have a point if we got swept by Seattle and LA. You don't.

You play the schedule in front of you. We got lucky in some, so did other teams including Seattle and LA like I mentioned in the post above. You've got blinders on pretending the impact injuries we had somehow didn't put us at a major competitive disadvantage regardless of our opponent.

Maybe less Tiger Blood and more critical thinking?

exactly i think most would pick 5-6 wins me included and im an optimist i honestly saw this whole season as a cherry i did not expect us to win so much and i did not expect us to win a playoff game we were playing with our PS players and we (understandably so) did not prepare for Aiyuk to go a bit crazy making another WR/weapons a need

I would do the same looking at it on paper. Wasn't like that in reality though. Even most of espn picked us to beat the Texans. We weren't the underdogs we make ourselves out to be on paper

No I just knew we had the better qb in those games and believed in Saleh

I mean this is a bit ridiculous at this point our offense is the one that carried our games (no fault to Saleh here) through the back half with all our injuries and you cant really praise our offense without giving huge credit to Purdy and KS

i feel like you are just arguing to argue at this point

Thats because we had Brock in the back half to carry when Saleh couldn't anymore. It was a good year, not saying otherwise. Just not as impressed as you guys are by Kyle in this situation. Neither were the unbiased voters

but Mac Jones went 5-3 (which would convert to a 11-12 win season) as well there was a point where many people believed that we shouldbt even go back to Purdy (which i thought was stupid) but that was a real conversation and that was on top of our other injuries we had at that point

I don't care what the pre season projections were about strength of schedule. Everything changes once the games start and injuries begin to mount. Every team has some and if you catch a team when they have key players it changes everything. Coaching staffs have to change game plans on both sides.

Mac jones was the better qb in every win except the rams win. I picked him in 99% of those games. Saw a stat in the Trey thread recently that had Mac playing very well in 2022 without Kyle, so we can't definitively say him playing well now is all because of Kyle. The record is more about being better than Dart and Rattler and those guys

Houston was 2-4 going into that game but it was pretty clear to anyone watching their defense was dominant. We were going into that game with our backup QB and receivers. 2 backup OLmen and no pass rushers available for the game against an offense that struggled cuz of their pass pro.

On paper it wasn't an easy game in the least bit.

They had the 7th easiest schedule in Super Bowl area! They played absolutely no one and like one meaningful QB in Allen. COTY apparently.

Dude if everyone had an "easy" schedule then it negates the whole damn argument so let's look at other factors like having one of the most injured rosters in the league on top of it.

It also negates bragging about an ok sos. I picked them in all but 1 win. Can't say I was blown away

He's arguing because he doesn't like Kyle.

Who's bragging? I'm pointing out SOS wasn't as easy as you said. Same SOS as Seattle had. The guy who actually won COTY had one of the easiest SOS in the Super Bowl era. f**ker got to play Jared Stidham in the AFCC for god sake. It's a crap rebuttal as to why he should have been last in voting.

I'm shocked you being a Kyle hater weren't blown away with what he did this season

It wasn't what anybody said, it was actually projected to be the easiest schedule. I agree it wasn't the easiest amongst the easy, but it was easy imo and I picked them most games. It's even easier factoring in getting to play Seattle week 1, road Bryce, and Colts when they couldn't win anymore. Those are details sos doesn't take into account

I didn't vote him last, but looking at the other candidates I can see why it ended up that way. You'd have to take that one up with the voters

lol the mental gymnastics you guys go through to try to diminish Shanahan as a HC is just incredible. Olympic level stuff really.

It was an easy schedule. That SOS is bolstered bc of our losses to those teams. I guess Kyle fans took this COTY thing seriously and are now findings ways to justify why he deserved it over guys like Vrabel, MacDonald, Johnson. It's a meaningless award in my opinion but I guess it just gives ammo to defend someone that has zero SB rings as a coach…he was COTY in 2025!

It wasn't easy compared to the rest of the league. Which is the point…It was right in the middle of SOS this yr

you could literally do exactly what you're trying to do with every single team. "Oh they got Bryce" oh they got a home game here or there…all you're trying to do is form some confirmation bias.

vrabel- One of the easiest SOS in NFL history
BJ-4th easiest SOS this yr
McDonald-same SOS as SF this yr (15th overall)
Cohen-8th easiest SOS this yr.

Bad take that's rooted in your distain for Kyle.
