Buffalo is one of the worst run stopping teams in the NFL. We should have run them out of the stadium by halftime.

I get that.

But there's also a difference between running the ball on first and 10 and 3rd and 1, and the Chiefs line is not built for straight power running, so even against the Bills, running in those situations is not a gimme.

I have no problem with the idea of passing on either down, but do it out of a play action, which worked well against the Texans.

Very valid argument, and probably accurate, but it seems to me that on this team running is higher percentage. JMO.

By the by, it's nice to be talking about which weapons we should use, instead of "hey look. LJ ran off left guard. Neat."
