I mean the Chiefs had like 150 yards of offense in the 1st quarter. They weren't exactly tripping over themselves, they just couldn't finish drives because BB had a great plan in close early on. Score even 1 TD, let alone 2, and that whole narrative is a lot different.
They couldn't finish drives because they were making stupid penalties and getting the ball punched out and stuff. The first drive in particular had nothing to do with the Patriot defense and everything to do with Pat missing a couple of short throws.

3rd down and red zone stops. We've said for years that those are the two most critical areas in modern defensive football and it should come as a surprise to no one that the best defensive mind football has probably ever seen had his team playing extremely well in those 2 situations.

It happens.
Yeah, I'm not suggesting the offense "failed". They did leave some points on the field, regardless of the strength of the opposing defense.

Admittedly, I was feeding children and getting them hustled about to get to bed early so my focus was divided. I had my ear-bud in and was listening to the broadcast but wasn't always able to see the play.

But I think ultimately we're all extremely spoiled at this point. An 'average' offense is gonna leave 10 points on the field every damn week....if they're lucky.

I think there's a margin of acceptable error that, if we were outside of, it wasn't by as much as is being lamented.

Oh for sure.

I'm not bitching. In fact, I was one of the people telling everybody last night to calm the F down.

It was a fairly convincing win and if the offense plays up to its usual standard, the game is a blowout.

I'm sure a combination of factors - the 1 day delay, the absence of Cam, and more - led to both teams not playing their A game and it made it ugly.

But a win is a win.

On that note...why would a one-day delay cause issues, especially for this offense?

Is it just humans who have their whole lives structured for peak performance being thrown out of their rhythm?

I think the Chiefs just relaxed way too much when they learned Hoyer was going to start.

There was almost no intensity or focus on offense in the first half. Pat literally looked like he was there to **** around.

Yeah, for performance athletes, any disruption can cause issues.
