Nothing adding up for Chiefs on offense, particularly points


PITTSBURGH -- Nothing is adding up these days for the Kansas City Chiefs, at least when it comes to their offense. They have a bright offensive mind in coach Andy Reid, a couple of good receivers in Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce, a quarterback they’re paying a lot of money to in Alex Smith and some decent complementary parts.

Still, they’re getting next to nothing from their offense. The Chiefs broke a streak of six quarters without an offensive touchdown in Sunday night’s 43-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game so non-competitive it looked a lot like what happens when Alabama plays an FCS opponent.

But it took the 2-2 Chiefs until the final period to achieve even that meager accomplishment. Even with two final-period touchdowns, the Chiefs have just three offensive TDs in their past 12 quarters. If that doesn’t change, and soon, their season will be headed nowhere. The Chiefs put up little resistance against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who threw five touchdown passes.

After this week’s bye, the Chiefs face two more high-scoring teams in the Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints. Judging from Sunday night’s game, the Chiefs aren’t solid enough defensively to control a game on that side of the ball against a high-quality opponent.

Quick solutions might not be so easy for Reid and the Chiefs to find. Other than in the previous week’s game against the New York Jets, the defense hasn’t been generating turnovers and favorable field position for the offense.

The Chiefs have found it extremely difficult to go down what is almost always a long field for a touchdown. Their longest play against the Steelers was 20 yards until Spencer Ware busted loose on a long run late in the fourth quarter. They had one play of more than 20 yards the previous week against the Jets.

One possible source of offensive production after the bye is Jamaal Charles. He played for the first time against the Steelers but got in for only a handful of snaps. He got the ball just twice and rushed for 7 yards.

But it’s a start and the Chiefs are in no position to turn down possible contributions from any player, much less one of Charles’ ability.

Points are overrated

How I feel to dane lee and sandy NSFW

the offense has been hindenburg style and I got shit for it all year suck it haters

I like how instead of complimenting Alex Smith like they did the rest of the players they just described him as "A quarterback they're paying alot of money to"

Everything else about his is already know for anyone who was watching that game lol

i assumed if alex had a superior team, he would excel. or is it truly the coach? is john harbaugh available? :D

What are these "points" you speak of?

Andy Reid's "bright offensive mind" might be the most overrated thing in all of sports.

Let's not call Reid out for being a moron just yet. Did you see the gifs of Alex being a blind idiot? If Andy starts him all year then we can call him a moron.

No need to pile on what Philly fans have been doing for decades... People have been ROFL @ Reidtards offense for decades...

Its truly amazing how slow Chiefs fans are at learning from past mistakes.

Its like they have blinders on and just because someone dons the Red and Gold they are automatically fixed and are the bestest eva!

Same thing happened when Herm came to KC.

Oh I know, I have some really ****ing reeruned homer fans in my family... they swallowed Herms bullshit like about "not touching the offense" and "fixing the defense"

Just like they excuse Reidtards continuous bullshit playcalling and love of Alex Smith...

Exactly. KC is consistent. Consistency is important.

Just like huddling down 14 and driving in the playoffs...

Gotta make sure we get the correct play in...

Why didn't Teicher touch on those "hidden points" in his article?

False.

There is one thing adding up. The Chiefs offensive player payroll.

If only the scoreboard displayed hidden touchdowns.

Hidden points are where it's at.

the offense is "fine"

/sandy cheeks
/tiger

Him and Alex smith should never heave met terrible combo.

Th hate on every one last week who saw the cracks on offense really makes the homers look like reeruns

That thread was awesome.

LMAO

I think it was Royce back in 2013 who came to the OM and told us the Broncos scored too fast.

Sunday night Pitt scored too fast, then scored fast again, then again.

the reid gameplan is like the old 3 yards and a cloud of dust only he uses RB swing/flat and screen passes to everyone to get those 3 yards and then hope for 7 more YAC yards. Means kc has to be perfect to execute a TD drive and if they have to go more than 65 yards they are likely attempting a FG.

Need to draft a QB who can throw it consistently downfield.
