I don't see how either of those are really options.

The only time the Chiefs can throw is when the defense doesn't expect it. They simply can't hold up on the O-line to let routes develop.

Denver didn't blitz for the most part.

It was 4 guys rushing but not the 4 down linemen.

When teams blitz with extra rushers you are correct, it is on the QB to try and beat it with a pass to the guy that isn't covered.

Smith has a pretty good history of doing this.

So, what is your take on why this didn't happen last night?

I'd really like to know and see some gifs of these plays.. I'm content to bash Smith myself, if there's sufficient number of plays that he just failed on. Is it Reid's scheme? Because I sure didn't see much in the way of receivers breaking into quick-hitting routes to beat the blitz.

You wont know without seeing the A22 film.

4 of the sacks were when down 13 in the 4th Q.
DBs were likely playing smart and didn't care to bite on fakes and just waited for the WRs to try and break open. 5-10 yard completions were not gonna work with 7 min left.

There was open check-downs, Kelce was 1 of them I remember watching for a pass standing at the top of the screen but Smith kept his eyes on the WRs and then got sacked.

Yeah... hard enough for QBs to play well behind poor OLs when defenses know you have to pass. Particularly when there are no WRs that strike fear into them.

Was just a shit game.. preceded by another shit game the week before. Both weeks, their opponents looked hungrier than did KC.
