When the Hill trade was done, I believed that this was to build for the future. Well, the future isn't the present and I'm going to have to learn to be patient. The immediate success has spoiled me and my expectations are out of line with reality.
I also believe that some of this has gone to the heads of the players and coaching staff. That they are good enough to just put anyone out there and Patrick will make them the next star.
Patrick and Reid are becoming somewhat predictable and teams are learning to exploit that tendency. Maybe some of the warts that scouts saw in Patrick are coming to the surface now that teams force him to throw short passes and take away what he wants to do.
The best way to break down an opponent is to take away what they do best. Force them to do what they don't want to do. It looks like teams are doing that to the Chiefs and the Chiefs keep being a hammer so everything is a nail.
