Defense: 3rd
Offensive Rushing: TD's - 1st, Yards - 6th
Offensive Passing: TD's - 26th, Yards - 30th

One of these things is not like the others.

I'm guessing total ypg would be a better indicator

A lot of yards accumulated in garbage time. You look at points per drive and it has a better correlation with teams that actually made the playoffs

Well, thats the important part.

It's pretty clear what's holding this team back. Even an average passing game puts this team over the top.

Do you even realize that Maclin and Kelce haul in 70% of targets putting them in an elite tier at their positions? Quit talking out of your ass

Nowadays I just don't think it matters whether he's here or not. There isn't a whole lot of serious, mature discussion anymore. At least not on the main board. It's unfortunate but it's the way the board has gone.

So we know the defense isnt the problem. We also know the rushing offense isn't the problem. Now we're eliminating Kelce and Maclin as the problem. This list is getting shorter... How many fingers do we have left to point?

Maclin never had this high of a reception % with any previous QB. That tells us enough

I should put up a screenshot of what Dane has flooded my inbox with, the kid is an absolute sociopath. The type that I sedate and ship to a psych hospital on arrival in my ER department. He's that insane.

I understand your point. But what I'm saying is points per drive most likely (I'm not sure) doesn't take into account various factors, such as turnovers caused by the defense. The defense created 29 turnovers in 2015 compared to just 13 in 2014.

Turnovers usually set the offense up with nice field position which leads to more points

Honestly I'm mostly on here for the Royals talk anymore, the Chiefs talk just jumped the shark because of people like him. It was the same one note beat into the ground over and over again.

Then partway into this season he was actively trying to turn up his trolling and anti-Chiefs posts up a notch. He kind of jumped the shark. He was always trying too hard. It wasn't that entertaining.
