Does anyone on this forum ever admit when they're wrong? Do they hate admitting it even if it is a complete positive for the team they say they love....is this more about the people than it is about the Chiefs? You people are pathetic, get over yourselves and enjoy the process of this team growing.

Blah blah blah a bunch of statistics that are slanted due to the Chiefs having an early bye week.

Use your eyes. The O-line can't pass protect worth a shit therefore the offense is designed to dump the ball off within the first 5 yards. Your stats are misleading and benefit from a system designed to take pressure off the O-line combined with an early bye week.

Good post, IMO.

I will admit that I expected (hoped) that the OL would be decent enough at first. They were not. So my expectations of playoffs dropped off severely.

Then, when the OL showed the improvement they had, I admit that I was wrong again in overreacting as if they would not improve.

I have no problem admitting such things. Team and integrity >>> forum ego

:thumb:

I think run blocking usually comes together first because it takes less communication.

They have an assignment/player to block and they go.

When pass blocking the Oline has to communicate and adjust to what the defense is doing. Less time working together hurts that.

McGlynn still looks clumsy as **** imo.

I'm not sure he will ever be a great pass blocker.

Fisher had a penalty and a whiff ... but the time between mistakes seems to be getting longer and longer. He'll be fine.

Hudson still gets mauled, but he's good on the move.

Fulton is a power guy, i worry about quickness in pass protection

Seems like Harris is making good strides but i haven't really focused on him every single play recently to see for sure.

Hudson might be a pro bowl C with a legitimate (not all star, legitimate) starting pair of G's around him...
