Did the Chiefs/Reid hold anything back the last time against Indy?

How many in the first drive? We finished that drive in what 2-3 minutes?

Lets say he has 4 touches in that first drive. Now you have 58 minutes of football and Charles touches it 14 times.

Again, I'm not saying that they tanked on purpose or they went into the game saying we are holding back these plays for the playoffs or anything like that.

But, I ALSO know that was some shitty play calling and Charles should have touched the ball more. Conspiracy? Planned? I don't think so but they definitely didn't empty the playbook of their best plays on that day.

You can slice and dice any set of numbers to get the answer you want. The "holding something back" idea just seems to be more wishful by fans trying to rationalize why we might get a different outcome this time.

It's just much more straight forward to think that we had a bad game that day and hope that we play better on Saturday.

I've stated no conspiracy was in place. Just found it interesting that the idea is being talked about throughout all Chief fans. Probably like you said............some kind of subliminal reason as to why this Saturday will be different than the last game.
