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

Early in the game, Kelce was blocking, before releasing down field. That delayed release works like gold for getting a TE open.

One replay showed that they tried. Kelce was just too good. I think another factor the past few weeks was that Travis was not healthy. He looks like he's getting back to healthy.

I'm only posting because of the first seven words in the title.

Our offense looked totally different this week.

Reid always used short passes to the flat as a substitute for a traditional running game, and we finally brought back some of that this week. I feel like that really opened things up for us, cause Mahomes looked like a surgeon back there cutting up the defense.

Because the players executed.

Short passes have been in the gameplan all year. Mahomes just wasn't hitting wide open guys. Particularly in the flats.

And tonight we not only hit most of those, Patrick hit the deep ones.

Playcalling was never an issue, only execution.

I believe if they have a running threat the opposing D coordinators worry about PM's numbers would be record shattering year in and year out.

Glad to say not me!

Chiefs are a power running team now! Dumb****s

[Buehler445]

I'd like to us be able to use the I formation, even if we still throw it 60% of the time.

But now Williams carrying the ball isn't the answer to our problems.

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.

This is true but there is 2 ways you beat the 2 deep shell coverage and that is running the ball against a light box or the short passing game. For the last month Mahomes has struggled with the short passing game so in those instances we need to run the ball.

I thought tonight outside of running Williams on sweeps the run game was pretty decent and we had 23 carries. I think 23-25 carries is about right. Unfortunately CEH is back next week so we will start sucking again in the running game.

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.

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