Chiefs' offense: "one of the worst in the league, by nearly every measure"

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/9...chiefs-offense

some numbers to chew on from arrowhead pride

Quote:
The Chiefs are actually 12th in the league in PPG, at 23.7. But if you take away the 14 points the defense is directly responsible for, that number drops to 19 PPG, which would be tied for 23rd - with the Raiders. The Chiefs are relying on the defense to score points, which isn't good. Defensive scoring is random and shouldn't be part of the game plan. They didn't need Tamba Hali's pick-6 to beat the Jaguars, but they did need Eric Berry's against the Eagles.

They also are just not moving the ball; their 333 yds/gm is 21st in the league and their 4.9 yds/play ranks 25th. "Well Kyle," you may ask, " if the Chiefs offense is so bad, how are they undefeated this year?" That's an excellent question, thank you for asking. The answer is that the defense and special teams are much, much better than we thought.
Quote:
The problem the Chiefs are having is getting to the Red Zone in the first place. They're 30th in yards per drive, with only Tampa Bay and Jacksonville behind them, and Cleveland directly in front of them (not good company to be in). This is a really, really bad offense. But here's the real kicker: the Chiefs' offense has the best starting field position in the NFL this year, and still can't score.
Quote:
The Chiefs average 17 yards per drive better field position than their opponents (ok, ok, 16.95), the best mark in the NFL (2nd table). Only two other teams average more than 10 yards better starting field position than their opponents (New England and Chicago). The Chiefs' average starting line of scrimmage (LOS) is their own 36.97 yard line (best in the NFL), while their opponents average starting LOS is their own 20.02 yard line (also best in the NFL). What all of that means is the Chiefs's offense is handed consistently great starting field position and can't do anything with it, then they let the special teams pin opponents deep in their own territory. The defense bails out the offense by not letting opponents move the ball, giving the offense the ball back with great starting field position. Lather, rinse, repeat.
There's a nice breakdown of our defense against philly over there as well:

Quote:
I have to reiterate and emphasize just how much the Chiefs played man to man -- like a ton of it. And they have the secondary to handle it, unlike most teams in the NFL. Specifically, they matched up Sean Smith on Cooper a lot on the outside. If this had been a prize fight, Cooper's corner would have thrown in the towel somewhere around the middle of the second quarter. Smith owned him right up until the end of the game when he started cramping up. Cooper just couldn't shake him, especially on those aforementioned deep routes Kelly had him running all game.

Here's the only "if" I care about:

If the Chiefs get a franchise QB, the team will be a consistent SB contender.
hell, with the defense you guys have, an above average qb gets you that. That's just being honest.

I don't think he can do those things the way elite game managers can, but I'll give him a shot to prove what he's got. His 4th quarter performance against Philly was definitely terrific.
I don't know if he can or not. That's being honest. There isn't a whole lot other than the Saints game, that really has shown that he can do that. Again, that defense of the Saints was no where near the level that Giants defense was.

Yeah, we're so spoiled with all of those playoff wins in the past two decades, and the franchise has been on the bleeding edge for years when it comes to knowing what it takes to win in this league. We should all just stick our head in the sand and act like it's Sept 2010 or Oct 2003 all over again. Why talk about the playoffs when we have perfectly nice September wins to remember?

And again, what modern era are you talking about? Are you going to tell me the Giants and Ravens model is all that different from eras of the past? Elite teams are still winning a shitload of games by playing terrific defense, running the ball well and often, and having a QB who runs an efficient offense.

The NFL has become a 9-7 league no matter what kind of offense you use. Mediocrity rules as far as wins/losses and that's just how the NFL wants it. It keeps excitement up. But yea, I do understand why fans like the wide open offenses.

Elite teams are winning because their QBs are threatening defenses at key moments.

Period.

And you shouldn't. And it's not like the "haters" aren't enjoying the wins either or don't acknowledge it all takes time... once I've been on a ride 700 times, I'll enjoy #701 for what it's worth, but I'm not going to act like I don't know how it ends, either.... and I'm sure as hell going to start wondering about the better rides. If it's different this time, awesome.

There are ~6 teams every year that win 11+, ~6-8 that can't win 6, and everyone else is mediocre.... so, yes, it matters what kind of offense you use if you want to be in that top 6. Sure, it's entertaining, but it's also how you win.
