I did and still do. Our running games appeared to be an impactful part of the game tonight, instead of just going through the motions because we "had" to. Williams look good too. McKinnon was pointless but Gore can still run imo.

Williams appears to be our 3rd best WR. lol :)


fyi Kemp had another good game. Is that 3 straight?

It was good for like 70 yards before garbage time ROFL

That is no different than any other week.

Keep telling yourself that.

We used lots of dink passes that substitute for runs. Mahomes played dink and dunk early, then chucked it deep late. Short setup long.

Part of the problem is Patrick hates to checkdown and We weren't really running anything where the screen or flat was the 1st option. We need those plays or for Patrick to take the easy yards sometimes on 1st on 2nd down to keep the defense honest.

You know this isn't the same thing, right?

No one was ever arguing against that. ROFL

We should fire those hand it off to guys and bring in moar throw it to guys!

One replay showed that they tried. Kelce was just too good. I think another factor the past few weeks was that Travis was not healthy. He looks like he's getting back to healthy.

I wonder if certain DCs just simply don't like to run zones. And if a team doesn't practice much zone defense then they certainly aren't going to be good at it. Looked like the raiders may have run a zone early and then gave up on it. Didn't pay a lot of attention to that so I could be wrong.

I did notice the two deep a lot but they also seemed to change out of it from time to time. And those often times turned into big plays for the chiefs.

How's Daurice Fountain doing these days?

We do need to run more and we did and it worked.

Turns out we needed more Darrel running routes down the field.

You guys do realize that Patrick threw 4 TD's off of play-action, right?

You do understand that in order for play-action to work, you have to actually be a threat to actually run the football, right?

They ran just enough for the Raiders to respect it. Ok, cool. Some weeks it may take more. Some weeks it may take less.

Running the ball isn't just about YPC. It's about everything else that it sets up.

I don’t understand what that has to do with the price of tea in China. But really he was making the team over the rest of the available WRs. That was my only argument. The only reason he isn’t here now is Josh Gordon. So. Yeah.

The plays they made yesterday have been there all the time, including the games we struggled in. The difference was Mahomes staying calm in the pocket, reading the defense, anticipating throws, and making them along with getting the ball to the flats with more decisiveness to give time for the catch and run. There were multiple throws he made yesterday that he simply wasn’t doing the last four games even though they were available.
