Chiefs Some Quick Things

Chris Meck · 11-07-2022, 06:40 AM

Tough, hard fought football game against a physical Titans team that always gives Andy and Mahomes fits.

1. I don't think Titans win with a hobbled Tannehill, either. Willis' outside mobility was their second best weapon. Tannehill would've completed some passes, but also would've been a sitting duck and the Chiefs' pass rush was improved.

2. Chiefs defense was outstanding. Derrick Henry is a MAN out there, and other than the one big run, they bottled him up pretty well. Those of you calling for Spags head are NUTS. Spags has been a magician this year, playing all these rookies, and still dials up the perfect play in the crucial moment.

3. Saunders needs MOAR SNAPS. He's clearly better than Nnadi. In fact, he certainly appears to be our best DT not named Jones.

4.Wylie blows goats. He's absolutely terrible, and overmatched on an NFL field.

5. Trey Smith...I don't know what's going on, but he's not been playing all that well either.

6. OBJ is not good enough. At his best, he's average. Demanding top of the market pay when you're not very good is a bad look.

7. 68 passes? Yeesh. Our inability to run the ball has got to be fixed. You can't do that every game. You just can't. I know Wylie can't run block either, but I don't understand why the other four just cannot open holes when that's supposed to be each of their strong suit.

8. The Titans are what they always are; they're a problem. They're tough, they're physical, they're well coached. You can hate Vrabel if you want, but he always has his guys ready to play hard for him. That was a VERY disciplined defense. I didn't see anything all that fancy happening coverage-wise. They just executed. They're going to be back in the play-offs again.

9. Butker. What's up with that? Dooooooood.

10. We should recognize the Titans; they're the 90's Chiefs. They played hard, they played physical, they were disciplined in coverage, they throttled the superior quarterback for 75% of the game...and then the HOF'er dialed it up and beat them. Elway used to do that shit to us all the time. Now we have the boogeyman. Damn, it feels good to be a gangster.

I've been saying this about the Tits for years. The parallels with the 90s Chiefs' team and this franchise are uncanny. Great call out.

Good post. Especially #10. It’s nice to be on that side of the equation.

I’d like to add Mahomes is the best there has ever been. I’d have to rewatch to get good numbers but he biffed like what 4 or 5 passes. And that seemed more important because Martyball, but the fact is there was nothing easy. There were maybe 3 or 4 times that the checkdown looked open from the couch, but it may not have been. Either from offscreen coverage coming or pressure pushing him away.

But the man was throwing into tight ass windows all ****ing game. Their DBs got away with playing physical but the other thing they did is play really well and cover our dudes up. There were no easy throws and Reid is the king of cooking up easy shit. You’d like to see 10 easy schemed open passes a game and there were a couple? And one was Kelce just being the best TE to ever play.

****in Mahomes man. He’s the best that’s ever done it. Many will point to this game as a detractor from that but ain’t nobody else getting done what Mahomes got done. Maybe Jackson because he’s a better runner than Mahomes and that’s the part that was open. But you’d think they secondary would close on him quicker. And even ravens fans aren’t deluded enough to think Jackson is making very many of those throws.

Mahomes.

I'm shocked Vegas doesn't adjust their spread for him doing games against Mahomes.

Pat has a winning record in every situation BUT a Blakeman led crew. Unreal.

I have started to wonder what it will take to get a roughing the passer call for the hits on Mahomes?

The NFL sure seems to want him playing in Prime Time, why are they not protecting him at least as much as Qbs like Carr?

Did anyone see Payton call out Clete and roll his eyes on the Monday night football Manning cast last week? Pretty funny.

A few things I feel...

If you're too nervous about running your RB on 1-2 yards even on early downs you have a massive RB issue. Get rojo ready to play asap and see if he can do what the others can't. was CEHs role last night a sign that the chiefs are ready to move on? Andy's comments indicates he wants to see rojo at some point and ceh seems like the guy most vultuted in that scenario.

The chiefs have an easier stretch of games finally. Do we need to start resting some guys wuo aren't 100%? Limit butker (kickoff Reid). Bench trey smith until he's 100%?

WR is a very big issue and we can't be bipolar with this opinion just because they have good games and bad ones. Tenn used the same blueprint they've always used against us that bellichick has had success with. Clobber our guys, especially Kelce. And to their credit, it works. We are too finesse for that. So how do we deal with physical teams? We need way more toney as our quick strike offense was great when he was in the game. We need less mvs in these types of games.

Toney was a really active blocker. I did not see that coming. Very welcome surprise.

We have an offensive line problem. Our OT's are bad. No running back in football was getting much in this game. We need to make some changes in personnel and/or scheme if we're going to fix it.

That's where I think you need a rojo option. You need someone who can just power through for a few even where there's nothing there. We have to have a snowplow option at least some of the time

I think it would make zero difference.

Im not sure I agree. Watch second half highlights here. This is the kind of runner we need in games like this. Thuney - creed - trey are fine enough that we shouldn't be this awful with up the gut runs. We need someone who's way more decisive and powers into these holes. Pacheco and ceh are more one cut guys. Rojo isn't gonna be a home run hitter. But in a game like yesterday we badly needed some pennies and nickels

Agreed. Even though I would like to see Rojo. I think it's a scheme thing as much as personnel as to why the run looks so terrible. We don't look creative at all with the run game in addition to getting our s***t kicked in up front across the board. There's a reason why when one back looks bad the others do too and vice versa

Agreed. Our RBs are struggling a lot right now, but part of it is because our line is generating no push.

Yep. If our QB was a statue back there, this game would have been really ugly. Something else I find interesting -- Mahomes had 68 attempts and Moore and MVS had just one target each!
