Why didn’t the chiefs do this to Edelman?

If you double Edelman then Brady will just focus on Gronk, or get to Hogan through his progressions. I do think the Chiefs would have been wise to jam Edelman at the line to throw off the timing and give the pass rush a little more time to get there. A prime Berry would have allowed them to do that, as he could cover Gronk fairly well. As is, they didn't have the horses, especially if they both weren't on the same side and you couldn't use triangle coverage.

Greater imagination in defensive fronts (amoeba looks, standing DL) or late shifts just before the snap to **** with Brady would have also helped.

You mean and make Brady actually have to take some time and go through progressions instead of allowing him to get rid of the ball in less than 2.5 seconds? Fricking crazy how Grandpa couldn't adjust...really all year. Our talent is not as bad as what the stats say. He better be gone.

The reality is I don't think the Chiefs defense has the horses to do terribly much to stop good offenses who execute well. You can blame Sutton if you like -- and maybe he does suck, I don't pretend to have watched that many Chiefs games -- but it's not like your defense is overloaded with talent so far as i can tell, and it's not like the Patriots haven't done this to plenty of other teams.

Should have.

Reid was running Hill deep to clear out the underneath. It's incredibly effective if the blocking holds up and the other receivers are making plays...but

1) Kelce might as well have been Jake O'Connell yesterday
2) The OL could not hold their blocks long enough for the D to clear out
3) Mahomes held on to the ball too long

Pass blocking improved in the second half which is why Watkins put up so much yardage. However, using Hill horizontally and motioning him creates chaos for the defense and would actually force McCourty up (eventually), which would open up things for all the receivers over the top.

To use a boxing analogy:

Pre-prison Tyson used his jab, footwork, and defense to get inside on his opponent and set up combinations that took their heads off. Post-prison Tyson waded into the pocket and looked for a single bomb. It could still work, but it was much easier to defend, and left him open to far more punishment.

Andy's gameplan was like post-prison Tyson.

Those are pretty advanced techniques, and i'm honestly not sure the Chiefs defense was good enough to do pull that off without creating more problems for themselves than for the Patriots.
