Of course I watched the game. I watch every Chiefs game.
I gave you the stats on run vs. pass. What happened more often than not was that the Chargers stacked the line and blitzed 6. The Chiefs called pass plays, couldn't block them and they lost. This is not a play-calling problem, it is a physical problem.
The same thing would happen to the Jets if they played at San Diego. Merriman, Castillo, Phillips, Olshansky, Williams - this is a monster front 7 that is 100% healthy and on fire right now.
The real story is that if they got the blocked punt they would have had an excellent chance to go into halftime up 10-7. People don't talk about the fact that the Chiefs had scouted the Chargers passing game so well that they knew just about every pass play the Chargers were running and had Phillip Rivers running scared.
The way the Chiefs were going to win a tough road game like that was not by throwing 30 times. It would have to be by playing conservative and winning the turnover battle. People have tried the other way, and no one has beaten SD there yet this year.
Jets fans I know will never understand this. Chiefs fans, I hope, will.
