-Injuries to starters
-Predictable offensive play calling and subpar game management
-3rd down conversions on both sides of the ball
Those are the three biggest culprits holding the Chiefs back from being a contender let alone a playoff team. Smith is not good enough to overcome these issues, but I hesitate to throw sole blame his way considering how glaring the other problems are. The Chiefs absolutely need to win their remaining home games and get a road win to have a legit shot at making a run.
