The more opportunities we have to score, the more we are going to score. It's math. How can we get more opportunities to score? By having more time of possession. Just because we have won games with only 20 minutes time of possession, doesn't mean we will always win having just 20 minutes time of possession. Again, I just don't understand how anyone can argue that time of possession doesn't matter. WTF do people think Patrick Mahomes would say about getting more possessions in a game? Does anyone think he would be like, nah, we only need 20 minutes to score more than our opponents. Hell no he wouldn't say that. He would say the more time that our offense has the ball the better. You know what else more time of possession for our offense means? It means that our defense is on the field less, and right now, the less time they are on the field, the better. Time of possession helps our offense and defense. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

And Andy usually isn't terribly interested in possessing the ball for 8 minutes at a time. He wants to score within about 6-8 plays and 4-5 minutes per possession, if not faster. Which is why we have so many 2-4 snap drives. But once the Chiefs have a two or three score lead, Andy then goes into TOP mode. Not before. And this is how our team is constructed. For now. The firepower is on offense; the defense just has to be good enough to slow the other team down. Force a FG instead of a TD. Once that lead is established, the defense is designed to take advantage of a pass-only offense. Throw the ball every down and eventually other teams make mistakes that either end in turnovers or punts. This is why our defense is only okay against the run, but pretty good against the pass, specifically on the edges with our corners. Then Mathieu patrols the middle, and tackles TEs and RBs for minimal YAC. So for a Chiefs opponent to try and keep up, they have to throw down the sidelines into the strength of the secondary, and probably under some duress, which invites mistakes.

Time of possession is not just meaningless for the Chiefs, it's completely meaningless in general. It has no correlation with winning football games.
Time of possession is an outdated way to look at football, it's like talking about RBIs. |

I am seeing ESPN and some outlets now posit that the Buffalo Bills have the best chance to beat us.
The QB that had less than 100 yards against us (without all our best players) going into the 4th quarter?! Well, if that is the best the NFL has for us I like our chances. |

The Texans totally dominated the TOP in the 4th quarter but not because they kept the ball away from our offense. Our offense HAD the ball, TWICE, in the 4th quarter and kept it for a grand total of 1 minute and 21 seconds. The Texans didn't dominate 4th quarter time of possession because they had the ball and kept it away from us. They dominated the 4th quarter time of possession because we HAD the ball and kept giving it back in 3 plays. No, they defense couldn't get a stop and let them take a couple of long drives but the point is, if the offense had done anything at all in the 4th quarter, there wouldn't have been any time left for those long drives. |

They would have beaten the Titans last year during the regular season. It wasn't Henry's total yards and TOP that got them, it was him breaking a long run late in the game. |

We get more opportunities to score by having more POSSESSIONS. It has nothing to do with time. Those possessions could be one bomb for a TD or 10 plays for a TD, all that matters is having a chance to score. Quote:
The only time playing "keep away" has ever worked was last year when Mahomes was gimpy for the first quarter of the season. Again, everybody knows we want more possessions. More possessions, with this offense, simply does not equal more TIME. You're conflating two different things. |

More time of possession does not equal more opportunities to score. More possessions means more time to score. Which generally means scoring faster, not possessing the ball for longer periods of time. Holding on the ball for long drives is actually counter productive if your intention is to score a lot of points.
And obviously defense plays a large part in this equation, too. You want the opponent to have shorter drives too. So in that regard, you do want to win time of possession. But, again, it's about having more short but productive (for you) possessions on both sides of the ball, gaining time of possession through quantity, and then scoring/stopping the opponent being quality. For instance: 4 minute TD scoring drive 2 minute forced punt 4 minute TD scoring drive 2 minute forced punt is better than... 8 minute scoring drive 4 minute field goal allowed, or even forced punt etc. Last edited by keg in kc; 12-11-2020 at 10:54 PM.. |

So it’s really just the Steelers right?
No argument. They have the worst set of linebackers and secondary in the league. The only chance they have is if Myles gets home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did love them exposing the Titans. Those fans were so mouthy in the AFC Championship game until Mahones soul stealing run. Never heard a peep rest of game.
