So what do we do? With 1:15 remaining and 3 TOs, we run out the clock. Gutless. I agree, we don't need 45 passing attempts, but that just says "surrender".

The way the Chiefs would win that game with this talent is not with guts. I know it's complicated to understand, but it's true. The Chiefs had no business being in that game, but with a few made kicks, no Terry-caused Croyle fumble, no Kennison fumble, better punting, and 1 more stop from the D we win. That's amazing. We did that by playing AROUND the offense, not through it.
It will not always be this way. There will be at least 5 new starters on O next year, and Croyle will have more experience. But that's the best way for the team on the road against a top 5 team until we can get to the offseason. This game proved it - it didn't disprove it.
