Thoughts on the Offense.

[Chiefnj2]

Thoughts on the offense from someone who hasn't watched them much this year.

1. Reid still sucks in the red zone and with time management.
2. The only thing that made Smith an average QB was his ability to scramble. When he wouldn't throw to a NFL Open receiver for 10 -15 yards, he'd at least scramble the 6 yards to pick up a first down. He's not doing that this year and drives are dying.
3. Smith/Reid don't typically use the #2-4 WR's too much. With Maclin being hurt they are stuck.
4. The defense isn't as dominant as it was in past years (although it is still carrying the team) and they aren't giving the offense the fantastic field position they typically enjoy when settling for FG's.

Pretty good assessment.
