I'm talking about what we bare-ass minimum need, not just what we did last year. Imo, there's a minimum set of numbers that a team has to achieve to have a realistic shot at getting into the playoffs, and therefore punch a ticket to the SB. Now, based on just how many tight games KC played last season, I think we weren't that far above whatever those minimum numbers/stats were. maybe not razor thin, but thin.
If that is the case, then we have to believe that we need just about every point we scored last season to realistically expect to get back to the SB this season. Not all, but most.
So right now, we're missing about 24 TDs and all those other numbers. I don't know how much of all of those stats we actually need, but if we need most of them, then I'd really like to know where they're coming from, realistically.

Dude.
You're still freaking about about PAST PRODUCTION.
We're not missing ANY TDS IN APRIL. We don't play the ****ing games in April.
WE ARE NOT MISSING ANY TDS. NONE. NOT A SINGLE ****ING ONE.
Because the other teams are all going to be different too, and the teams on the schedule are different, and they're not lining up the same 53 either. And they're not going to score the same, or give up the same as last year. It'll all be different because ALL of the teams are different. And they're all going to be hoping their young players step up, too.
Because it's April, and because the WR room is not yet complete, and neither is the RB room, and maybe not the TE room either, and we have no idea how many TD's the Defense will give up (because you know, it's APRIL) and they haven't played any games yet.
Here's the thing: if you go young at a position group, you cannot focus on the PAST PRODUCTION because there isn't much. You are OBSESSED with comparing the WR room in a complete vacuum and based entirely on PAST PRODUCTION. This is a completely false frame.
This is where GM's, head coaches, and offensive coordinators make their money. If you can't draft and develop consistently, you're going to fail. You cannot spend your way to Super Bowls with any consistency. You have to draft and develop and find undervalued assets or you're the Rams.
Fail at this task, and you're the Packers.
Succeed at it, and you're the Brady Patriots.
