We could be doing that all day with Ware and Kelce and now with a deep threat #10 to keep defenses honest we should be ****ing teams up.
But no because Alex Smith and Andy Reid
Teams really don't want to face us when we are running the ball effectively but they don't have to worry about it because Andy Reid likes passing on every down with no care of first down marker or to the goal line. We used to run run pas punt now it's pass pass pass punt or kick a field goal.

Have you considered that maybe our running game is effective because Reid uses a lot of mis-direction, cut backs, reverses/Fake reverses as well as mixing in the passing game?
And that maybe our running game wouldn't be as effective w/o those elements? When you watch the Chiefs run compared to how other teams run you'll probably see that the Chiefs employ a very creative running game based on deception. They're not a team that just lines up and plays smash mouth football. Their goal is to confuse the LB's which opens up holes on the 2nd level. Short passes and screens are a big part of that. Keeping the defense honest matters.
