It was an anomaly, but it was OUR anomaly. And it's this.
We'll likely have enough capital to field a decent offense. And Mahomes will certainly be good enough to keep it productive and on a winning track.
But what we lose when we lose Hill is slack in the rope.

"Oh, . . . BOO HOOO!!! We're down 20 points in an important game. . . well how about [hiiiya!! Judo chop!!] - . . . 21 points in 3-4 minutes to end the half."
"Enjoy your halftime deficit you worked so hard for, suckers!!"

Now, a 20 point deficit might be enough to bury us for good most games.
So we got to hope we don't get so many of those, or even to have a game plan to get early leads instead.
It's a little more than zigging, when they thought we'd zag, . . it's a paradigm shift. So now it's our duty to be hopeful they assemble something.
