Although it is improving, the Chiefs Defense is not capable of compensating for the wretched Offense.
The playoffs are possible, but not without a suddenly rejuvenated Offense. And that will not happen without a suddenly rejuvenated Offensive Line. And that will not happen.

They showed LJ stats rushing the ball to the Left-Middle-Right sides, shortly after halftime Sunday. I don't recall to the number what they were, but he had virtually all of his yardage up the middle.
And the play action pass was working effectively with the middle runs too. Once we got into relative scoring position on the field, AS abandoned that theory, ran to the outside, and had straight drop back passes. Neither of those two things were effective.
IMO, if we would let this OL plow straight ahead, and mix in basically nothing but the play action pass (Steve DeBerg days style of offense), I think we could make it work. Our defense has shown enough improvement to compliment that type of offense.
