can we please stop talking about time of possession? Please?

Think Marcus Peters style corners who look to get picks but aren't cover corners. Terrell Suggs & Von Miller types to swipe at the ball and force fumbles.

Did that yesterday. Chiefs had 11 possessions, Titans 10. Chiefs scored on 8. Titans only 4.

Chiefs D forced a fumble/recovery on the Titans first possession. On their second-to-last possession the Chiefs D forced a turn-over on downs. Chiefs D forced four punts.

Chiefs offense didn't score enough TDs. Because Pat over-threw Kelce, Hill and Watkins.

Time for a new narrative.

How many possessions in a row did we come away with points in the 2nd half? When you score 32 points you should win. Your problem isnt the offense.

Four.

TD, FG, TD, FG, botched snap for FG, blocked FG.

I'm not saying the offense is the problem. I'm also not saying the defense played great, because obviously, they didn't.

What I am saying is that if your going to micro-analyze the defense or blame them for every little thing, at least use the same lens for the offense. The offense wasn't perfect either. They failed to execute drives that should've resulted in TDs at least twice. If they converted just one of those for a TD we aren't having this conversation.

And the fact is that last year this offense scored more TDs than FGs most of the time. This year it's been different. There are plenty of reasons for this, but no one is going to admit most of that either because they're ignorant, or they want to be willingly obtuse so they can continue to support their narrative.
