Can we talk offensive line?

Some people will never be happy, no matter how well the Chiefs do or how big the win. I feel sorry for them, they can't enjoy success.

Don't want to jinx anything but imagine how clay would feel if we won? Couldn't enjoy his team win a sb because of his ego. That would just be sad.

I'm extremely happy and have been enjoying this win all day

Might not be the best timing, but this is something people haven't talked about nearly enough this year. It's the main reason we haven't seen the consistency on offense we had hoped to see.

There's only been one period of highly productive offense in recent years, and it was the 2nd half of Reid's first season, when the line had gelled into a solid and consistent unit. The points started piling up, Smith had some of his best statistical games, and the running game was rolling. Then Dorsey allowed three of those linemen to walk in the offseason and we've had mediocre line play since.

B*tch about Smith all you want, but if we could get ANY push whatsoever up the middle, this would be a far more productive offense. It's absurd how often the RBs get stuffed at the line and fail to convert 3rd and short or 4th and short.

The line was a major reason we lost to TEN(along with Smith, DAT, and coaching the final 3 minutes from Sutton and Andy). They took it to heart and came out fighting Sunday. Hopefully they play like that from now on.

Either way we may not see the explosiveness in the run game we saw last year unless it comes off of a Hill sweep.

500 yards of offense and no sacks allowed against a top 3 D and we get this shit WHAT THE ****???

[Pasta Little Brioni]

The weirdest thing is Chiefs have scored 30 per game on Dencer, but struggle with the shit Titan secondary

I know we had a good game guys, I'm not talking shit on the Chiefs. Alex got hit hard many times last, our rb got lit up in the back field by unblocked guys. We've struggled all year to push the ball in from the one yard line. That's what I'm trying to discuss. Don't take this shit so personally, just a discussion is all.

Who's taking anything personally? If I've given the impression that I play on the offensive line for the Chiefs, I'm sorry for the misrepresentation.

This thread just seems very ill timed. The offensive line played well last night against a good defense. They've actually played fairly well all season. Spencer Ware is an average NFL running back. If Charles was running behind this line, there would be fewer complaints about the offensive line play.

there were times last night where Denver had 9 in the box. Nine. It's hard for me to put that on the line.

And why Kelce and Hill have been very productive especially Kelce this last half of the season. I have said all along that especially this last half of our season teams have not respected AS and our passing game and have stacked the box and why our running game almost parallels Denver's run game but the difference lies in the fact that AS has far more experience than Siemian in getting the ball into his playmakers hands.

You realize Denver is a great defense that usually does that and mych more right?? This point was more valid after last week's game. Line was awesome last night.

Yes as you say the o line has struggled overall. This thread isn't exactly crazy to have even last week was the appropriate time to make it.

Oh I trashed them last week, but they all get sucked off after that dominating beat down. What team has ever done that to them in recent years?

oh yeah, that was one of the most fun games I've ever witnessed from the Chiefs, it tanks up there with the beat down of the patriots in recent years.
