This place has become Homer Planet. Not too long ago, people were driven off of this forum for such attitudes.
If people can't be critical about the team they root for, then why bother being a fan if it is just a love-in? - one will ultimately be let down. I am pleased that the defense has stepped up and won some games this season. They are slowly but surely gaining confidence. The 4th quarter offensive play-calling yesterday was on point in finishing out a game. Special teams had a strong showing and team DISCIPLINE was phenomenal. However, the Chiefs need to persist at shoring up their weaknesses, and the franchise QB is not immune from criticism here. WTF was that cross-body pass to the middle of the field that should have been picked? His footwork is a mess, and he has the yips at times, throwing too early when he indeed has pocket protection. Yes, the interior O-line is sub-par, and there is not enough movement in the run game to find an effective balance, but from the outside looking in, it is as if there is not total buy-in to the offensive game plan by the players. Teams are taking away the deep stuff, and if Hill or Kelce get extra attention, the other receivers and backs are struggling to make plays. I think it was rabblerouser who pointed out the formation and run calls that the Chiefs used with Thompson in the game - when Sherman and Bell are on the field, there are generally positive gains made in the run game and no "negative' plays. the RPO game is ok in doses, but teams are on to that league wide. It was good to see the change up in this regard, and it will be necessary for this team to overcome some of its flaws..... |

Talked to a buddy at the game, the wind definitely played a factor. I'm an idiot I guess. |

I agree the offense and mahomes has to be much better. But I saw some things yesterday that made me feel like in better weather, we might have seen a fireworks show. |

Looks like the “homers” were right that he deserved and opportunity, and I don’t see how suggesting that field/weather conditions have had a negative impact on the Chiefs passing game the last couple games makes you a “homer”. It’s an obvious observation. |

I see this as a good thing. At least to start the game. Teams are taking away the big play so we need to be able to do the underneath stuff too. Combine that with letting Pat keep it on the RPO and we can get a couple TDs then take some shots.

They also had quite a few drives yesterday that were extended because of Raider penalties.

Another indictment on Veach and Reid for continually ignoring the interior OL and OL deptth at OT.

I was really encouraged by the "Darwin Drive" in the 4th quarter. The Raiders knew we were running and couldn't stop it. That will be HUGE later.
Also, last year's defense required an historic offense. This year's will require a good one, which we have. If the key players stay healthy, I think we'll be fine. |

It was a dangerous throw to be sure, but being at the game, had he not been throwing it into the wind he had a good chance of making some chicken salad out of that one.
