Indirectly, it means fewer drives, fewer offensive snaps and scoring opportunities for the Chiefs offense.
So, I ask you: just how perfect does Mahomes have to be if he has to score as many or more points than last season, but with only 7 or 8 or 9 drives per game?
I guess, the question really is, how much do we care about winning another SB this season? If it really matters, then we want CJ back on the field ASAP. Which means getting him signed.
EDIT: forgot to answer the first question. No, I'm not on drugs.

You're missing the point. The idea that Veach would get flustered enough after losing a single game to cave to a number he didn't feel comfortable meeting before is absolutely ludicrous and it's the hallmark of a poorly run organization. The Chiefs are not that.
Remember, I'm the one who told you in another thread that this was a below average defense minus CJ when you were fantasizing about their being in the middle of the pack. I completely understand how important CJ is -- I just dispute the idea that a loss against the Lions should completely change how the front office operates. That's just idiotic.
