Chiefs Ten Things About Today's Game: Week 11 - Page 3

Good read George, they had to play their worst game of the year to lose that one, they stepped up and got er done.

It's games like this that make me not want to go to a game and have to grieve a four hour drive back home for a loss. If our offense had a little more zing and pop to it I'd want to go but it doesn't look like they can make it anymore exciting to make the trip worth it.

Always look forward to your 10 Things, George. Spot on as usual. Thanks!!!

That’s almost a whole quarter of football more. That’s because the first six Tampa Bay drives ended on KC’s side of the field. The defense could not get the Bucs off the field all day long.

Exactly, you can't expect to win if you give up 24 first downs (18 passing).

The game sucked. Glad I shut it off-again.

Maclin is the biggest reason for this drop off.

2015 we were ranked 12th in red zone TD %, this year Maclin's been injured and had some life stuff at the beginning of the year that he was off his game.

Not too late to turn things around

Stop play calls like the sweep to Kelce or the Rd Zone Calls (First Drive).

Weapons weapons everywhere...yet we look like shit on offense. If Alice is the solution, we're screwed. There are no more excuses. Yes, Maclin is hurting. But ****...that's not why we are inept on offense...it was nice to see a spark from West...but in the end, the QB can't make mistakes. Period. Shit...

As you noted the difference in the game was time of possession. This was fully due to the 11 of 16 3rd down conversion rate. Stop just a couple more of those attempts and get off the field and this is a different game.

Score just a couple more points and this is a different game.

Good write up George. I feel pretty much the exact same way.

Alex has peaked and his peak isn't good enough

This defense can't really stop anyone. They give up too many long drives. They only get stops on key turnovers. You can't always rely on a turnover. At some point you have to make key tackles or defend key passes

I think this team will make the playoffs again, but probably top out again after 1 win. Maybe.

Unless this offense improves, we will NOT win in the playoffs. PERIOD.

Alex smith has been throwing wimpy wobble ducks with no confidence since he got hurt.

He's tough to cheer for right now.
