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.

I'd probably play dumb were I you as well.

You were among the loudest and most aggressive of the Piolismokers from day 1. Oh you changed your mind after a couple of years, but anyone that suggested that Pioli flat ****ed up the coaching search or the 2009 draft was greeted with both barrels by you.

I don't truly care - you were wrong. It's happened before, it'll happen again. But in the end, its incredibly hypocritical for you to call folks out for trying to look at past performance to dictate future results when that was your rallying cry when Pioli showed up.

Who gives a **** what the "consensus view of Reid's time in Philly" is or was?

It's the style of winning this team is living on right now. This is by the book, regular season success, amp up the fans in the stands, come up short when you need it most, Marty Schottenheimer football.

I haven't seen anyone say Alex is the biggest issue or the only issue. What I have seen is people saying he's part of the equation, along with the line, the injuries and the playcalling. And apparently it's okay to mention the injuries and the playcalling. And to run down Dwayne Bowe or any other skill player on the team. But any mention of Alex Smith is off limits. Instantaneous response. It's like there's a batsignal or something. Maybe a loud klaxon sounding in basements all over SF. Weee-ooohhh. And lo the defenders come swarming out of the woodwork, incensed at our audacity, that we would actually expect more from him.

Well if we had drafted Geno the SB would be an option this year.

Alex Smith is the QB for the Chiefs. He's a risk-averse, efficient game manager. No one claimed he was Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees.

I find it completely unnecessary to bring that up in every conversation.



Our current offense is a gigantic cluster****. There's no true slot receiver, the tight ends were literally signed off the street, the rookie right tackle woudn't be starting had he not been the number one overall selection and the interior offensive line has issues.

In all honesty, it's hard to believe that this team is 3-0, let alone, talk about a Super Bowl.
So are you saying that once we have great TEs, a probowl slot receiver, and the Vermeil era Oline, Alex Smith will be more than a sub 300 yard QB?

Marcellus is more obsessed with Geno than anyone...check the Geno Smith/Alex Smith thread (which is at 5,000 posts), and then see which of those posters are in here..

But many of you fellas have a lot easier time knocking down straw-men of your own creation so you continue to make them.

That's fine, but you're 'rebutting' arguments that were largely never made.
Thread over!
