It's not scheme - it's execution. Again.
I can think of at least 17 points that came off the board yesterday for KC strictly because of piss-poor execution.
Teams are making the Chiefs work harder for longer to score. And if the Chiefs execute, they'll still score. But by making it take 11-12 plays instead of 3-5, the Chiefs have to execute more often at an equally high level.
Too often they haven't been able to. I think there's some SB hangover here and I think they may be reading some press clippings.
You have to hope this ass-kicking focuses them back in.
If Cover 2 was some miracle cure, it wouldn't have fallen out of favor a decade or more ago. It's a fine philosophy but nothing that hasn't been exploited a hundred times over. And yes, the Chiefs and Reid know how to exploit it.
They're just not executing at a high level.
