So they aren't wrong. The Chiefs weren't good Monday. They won, and winning is the ultimate deodorant. But they weren't good and if Cam plays, it's potentially a different outcome.
No one has said it, but Mahomes is gonna have to figure out what Bill does to slow him down. I don't know if it's just run it more effectively, slow down etc. But it's the same thing he used to do to Peyton that worked continuously.
Frustrating.
EDIT: Went back and watched the first half again and I was a little tough on them. Offense moved the ball at will in the first half. Mahomes took what they gave him and they marched between the 20's. Got bogged down in the redzone and a penalty or two. Other than that, they were their normal self. The Watkins fumble just derailed it.

It seemed like when Pat would do his deeper dropbacks, it played right into Hoodies hand. Their 3 man rush was beating our line, and there's no excuse for that. To me, that single element allowed the pats to drop everybody else. If our line stops those 3 and 4 man rushes, its a cake walk. They never had to blitz, so screens weren't going to work either. I have to say, if we could have played a power game to soften them up, we might have then been able to shift gears into what we normally do. But as it was, they were far too effective with minimal pressure and they could saturate the secondary.
