Reid's system is all at the LOS with Alex, the Broncos have always run the WR bubble screen and they did throw a swing pass last night but other than that they are attacking 7 or more yards down field when they thrown it.
kc's O is dump it off and make a man miss and get YAC. It is safe, boring, predictable and can beat a lot of D's that are not disciplined. Couple that with a D that can force turnovers off of tips from guys hometown fans want to run out of town and you are looking at an 8-8 season or better if you face backup QB's on the other team.
The Broncos problems are on the OL on O and DL in the Run D. Then factor in the Refs calling everything against the Broncos and allowing Houston to club Von in the head and hold him and TJ Ward all night until they are finally forced to call one and you have the Broncos being forced to beat the other team and the Refs.
Once the OL, which is finally healthy now, gets rolling and they protect Siemian the deeper drops and deeper passes will be there. The kid can make ALL of the throws and is very accurate. When Healthy of course.

Not an Alex Smith clone, huh?
His stats the last two weeks:
Vs. the Eggo: 30-50, 230 yards, 4.6 y/a
Vs. Houston last night 15-24, 157 yards, 6.2 y/a
That's Alex Smith territory, bub.
