Post here if you were an idiot who thought we needed to run the ball more.

Particularly if you believed it needed to be done out of power formations

No, the Chiefs needed to execute the passing game. And they finally did. They fought their way out of it.

And now we are going to skull**** everyone with our goddamn elite QB.

Yup.

The TD to Pringle was an excellent example of the defense biting up hard on the play fake.

And he bit hard not because they "feared" the run, but because we had been taking the underneath stuff all night in all sorts of various forms.

Now, it's not any different than what the Chiefs have been doing all year. The difference is the Raiders defense didn't stay disciplined, which is required to for the "Mahomes Treatment" plan to work.

I said the Chiefs needed to run the ball more; probably should have added that I would like to see Patrick under center more often as linebackers don't fall for the play action very often in the shotgun.

Translation? THE KEY TO FOOTBALL IS NOT TO SCORE POINTS

Herm Edwards, is that you?

You are so wrong!!! Our run pass ratio has been at 35%, last night it was 30% had they run the ball 24 times versus 23 times, then it would have been 35%

You are welcome for my useless stats and sarcasm!

It also demonstrated how infrequently a team has to actually run the football in order to get that 'bite'. Additionally, it shows when the defense is likely to bite up - late in the game with a large lead and a seemingly clear 'running situation'.

Again - yesterday was a perfect gameplan Run the ball a little early, pass the ball to generate a lead, run the ball to take the air out of the clock and IF you get a shot, take it to put your foot on their throat and end it.

I saw that after I posted, I like the idea.
