Yeah but Dude, here's the thing: Outside of this forum and KC fans, the Chiefs offensive line isn't seen as a weakness because any time the Chiefs need points, they can just drive down the field and score.
It doesn't matter if there's 2 minutes left or 30 seconds left, they always drive down the field and win the game.
And the fact of the matter is that they're doing it with their 4th starter at LG this season, their 4th starter at Right Tackle and a Merry-Go-Round at Right Guard, yet the results are still the same: The Chiefs win.
It's just not realistic to think that Mahomes can sit back in the pocket for 7-10 seconds to find a receiver. He has a quick release but for whatever reason, the offense just isn't targeting short plays - it's all about downfield passing.
Maybe they're working some things out, maybe Reid is setting up plays on film in order to confuse defenses but they've gotten away from just taking what the defense gives them, and that has nothing to do with the line because they generally have no problem protecting Mahomes for 2-3 seconds.
The bottom line is that they need to get back to taking what the defense is giving them and just deal with it. They're going to win that way and take time off the clock, then they can bust out the long plays late in the 4th quarter when the opposing defense is worn out from chasing Hill, Hardman, Watkins and Kelce all game long because forcing the Big Play when it isn't there just isn't working.
