Chiefs were way more creative about how they used him. Getting him out there as a blocker, lining him up as fullback. That seemed more about Andy making the right adjustment.

The “Run MOAR” crowd never understood it was, is and always will be the Chiefs patience and execution with the short passing game that will be their path to salvation vs the two deep safety defenses.

It certainly isn’t running right to Wylie’s side.

He was helping Wylie with chips quite often, which was a good idea.

i am an idiot.

i was thinking since defenses have been practically inviting the run game and throws to the backs, that it made some sense to try and take advantage of it. the main problem was, i didn't think the defense would be able to hold up their end of deal, and force enough stops or turnovers to make a ball control style game plan a viable option. but, the defense has been playing a lot better the last few weeks, and, as a result, it got me thinking the underneath stuff made more sense than i would have thought otherwise.

i am very happy to have been wrong, especially at the Raiders expense.

Balance....

Mike Leach says that screens and passes to the backs in the flat are just long handoffs.

You counting garbage time drives? LMAO

51 passes 23 runs...balance? LMAO

One of the strengths of the team is the interior line, so yes, I think they should run more in general. But not necessarily with Williams.

How can you say this?

HOW?

LMAO

How about only counting the series that resulted in a score eh? Try starting there.

I was on the let Mahomes be Mahomes train since the draft. Posted it a couple of weeks ago and got a lot of shit. Through this rough patch it’s still Mahomes that will get us back to the promised land. He’s not perfect. No human being is. But, you have to let him be who he is.

the passes that worked early were play action

reid did a great psyche job because everyone thought we were gonna run

so those play actions , screens and short passes to the flat worked

then when they blitzed, we torched them

That's probably about the right balance for this team, especially since the screens and flats were working today, those are like extended handoffs.

Wow. No. Just go away.

Yea sucks being good in all dimensions of the game. You should always want to be as one dimensional as you can
