Your "football eyes" are lacking then. The blueprint is now out there to significantly slow Pat down and that is interior d-line pressure because the Chiefs interior o-line is weak. Did you not see the interior d-line pressure up the middle from the Ravens,Pats etc... that severely slowed Pat down to the point of potentially injuring his knee when he came away limping for awhile ? I assure the other AFC west teams will load up on interior d-linemen as time goes on and this year especially since the draft is deep for interior d-linemen
You have to be able to run the ball especially in the playoffs against the better defenses to keep them honest and protect your QB. Hence the Pats. We cannot run at will when needed because we are not physical enough to run or pass protect against the better defenses.
