Nonsense.
I disagree totally. Running the ball is an integral part of offensive success. You can't disclude that aspect of the game? No way.
Yeah a lot of us are used to watching the Pats, Colts, GB win with there passing game. So our minds and way of thinking tends to shift and let us believe passing is the way to go or to win in this league? But remember they have the QB's to do it. They have the right personnel to run an effective passing game. The Chiefs on the other hand, don't. Realistically, do the Chiefs have an offensive line that can protect the QB effectively? Do they have the right set of receivers to help make them be more effective in the passing game? do they have the QB? who knows?
Until the Chiefs get an offensive line and QB, I'd be comfortable with them passing the ball. But in all honesty, it boils down to execution imo? If your lineman can't block period, you're going to be unsuccesful no matter what you're trying to do? I also think predictable playcalling doesn't help either? No matter what the Chiefs do, they're just not good. Too predictable.
But still, when the Chiefs had a successful offense, the running game was a big reason why.
