I really think this board reminds me of the movie Memento. No memory other than what we want to believe. I was chastised because I was remarking that the run defense was not very good. I have no idea why the Raiders, or any team with a half way decent running game, would get away from running the ball when it's working. Especially yesterday when the wind was insane.
I know the Patriots are struggling, their WR are not getting open. The Chiefs have the same problem. The real difference, IMO, which means nada, is that the Patriots have better players and possibly better scheme on their defense than the Chiefs.
Maybe I have battered Chiefs fan syndrome. I've been watching since the first AFC/NFC championship game. Patrick Mahomes is a very good QB, the receiving corps on this team really struggles with man coverage. I expect the refs to be very lenient with the Patriots coverage of Kelce and Hill. Who is going to step up and make a play for this offense?
