Why are Maclin and Kelce not producing?

[Deberg_1990]

They both appear to be having down years so far. What gives?

Disgust.....

Their potential is being limited and thus the offense struggles.

I'd like to see some statistics on average field position to start drives this season as opposed to the previous three.

Our offense is generally bottom third in yards per game but top 12 in scoring. I think that had a lot to do with the defense giving the offense short fields more often than not.

This season our defense has taken a step back and i think that might be having an effect on our offense's ability to generate points.

They would both catch more passes if they ran sideways behind the line of scrimmage.

Does our record not read at 4-2?

I can understand the disgruntled reaction regarding players not getting their stats, but really?

Kelce and Maclin are making the best of a shit situation with noodles throwing the ball...

Yeah STs and field position are huge. Besides that I don't think our offense has had it's best games yet this year so the stats might change. I'd like to see our offense jell later then sooner with a healthy group in late December and then January.

We have to get there first but this season is all about being healthy for the postseason.

That said, I still believe big koolaid could weather us through a playoff storm if the defense carries us

Who cares. Control the ball a bit more, continue not to turn it over
Keep winning

Alex is on pace for 4,029 yards

Kelce should be a top 5 TE. Maclin should be a top 10 WR. But their QB is dickless.

Maclin isn't a top 10 WR.

Because of the piece of shit throwing them the ball.

All of you complaining the last few years that we only had one good receiver should be happy. But of course you aren't.

I disagree. If you have legitimate playmakers like Maclin, Kelce, Ware, etc. I would rather them get the vast majority of the opportunities rather than a limited player/athlete who is going to do minimal damage with the opportunity given to him. That doesn't mean force feed the ball to guys but it does mean to give your best players as many chances as possible to get the ball in their hands.

He was before he came to KC.

Exactly. This has been my pet peeve all season. Yes, we have added weapons to this offense, which is great. Now that we have multiple threats, that should allow Maclin and Kelce more 1 on 1 opportunities. In addition, when the game is on the line, you have to look at those 2 and Ware to make plays.

Example : the late 3rd down against the Saints that Harris dropped. He was open and it was a good pass. However, on 3rd down in the 4th quarter with the game on the line, I'm going to one of my main guys.
