Andy blames himself, not Alex, for Chiefs' sputtering offense

That was the only game that year, that he had to come down from more than one score.

I know that if the game is close, Alex Smith can bring the team back. people are talking about from multiple scores.

like 8+ points.

Fair enough. I think the Eagles game was the only one.

Teams don't score against the Chiefs. It may happen once or twice where a team gets 28 points, but its not going to be a consistent thing.

Oh, and I don't think that we will see the offense play that poorly again. It really cant. That was just, ewww.

I agree this defense isn't suddenly going to start giving up points. The offense should get better...having a "dip" in performance is fairly normal even when getting better. Not too worried about the offense just yet.

Yet more meaningless, useless drivel, is there anything you're good at besides servicing truckers at the rest stop?

I've tried to talk football around here and it's kind of pointless. Mainly because of morons like yourself who don't know anything about the game.

so it's difficult, yah know? Besides, most people on the planet have a sense of humor. Except for you. You're better at being a loser.

Yea this doesn't exactly prove Keg's point.

And what is the offense supposed to do when they get the ball in good field position anyway? Bitch at the defense because they dont get to rack up yards before scoring?

The article about the defense stated teams had better statistical chance of turning the ball over than driving for a FG on any given drive. That is going to result in good field position.

People act like every time we get the ball at our 20 we go 3 and out and that's just bullshit.

And where exactly was this my point? I was doing the research. My question was if Alex Smith could lead this team from behind if they were down more than one score.

So in other words, 40% of our offensive points are coming on drives that started on the opponent's side of the field.

I'm more worried that we're only scoring on 32% of our drives.

Thats going to happen when you lead the league in starting field position.

Do they need to score more point? Yes.

Stating its odd we score 40% when we have a short field is also an indication of how often that happens.

[O.city]

I don't think this is anything we didn't know. With this defense, put a top 15 ish offense on the field that can score 23 ppg and average a few more good drives per game and were unbeatable.

But it needs to happen quick
