Prefacing this with the fact that he's awesome and I love Pat.
But the Broncos did put some tape on how to slow the offense down. Now the Chiefs and Andy need to counter punch. |

These next two games are a tough test. Honestly, even if we lose them, I think at the start of the season people would have been happy knowing we got through this first 6 weeks at 4-2. Both are games we can win.

Mahomes can't know just how those overloaded blitzes are going to feel until he actually faces them in a hostile environment. And by the 4th quarter he'd already re-calibrated his internal clock in a big way. If teams think they're gonna be able to get away with that as well as the Broncos did - good luck to them. This is going to be like the Second Battle of Ypres. It was the first time the Germans used poisonous gas in WWI and it was horrifyingly effective. So much so that the Germans were actually unprepared to take advantage of it. They didn't press the lines at all. So they killed some guys (mostly Canadians, IIRC) but gained little to no strategic advantage from it at a point in the war where they could've won the damn thing. The Allied's quickly saw what was happening and within months had developed effective countermeasures that at least prevented things from being catastrophic when they were gassed later on. Well congrats, Donkeys - you gassed him. But you didn't kill him and now he's gonna know what's coming and how to deal with it. All you've really done is show him his own weaknesses so he can make sure they aren't problems anymore. And you still took the L. Thanks lads. |

Let’s review: Possession 1: FG Possession 2: they got us on this one. 3 & out Possession 3: TD Possession 4: Demarcus Robinson 15 yard face mask penalty forcing 1st and 23. No excuse for that shit. Just a horrible penalty. Forced a punt after 3rd and 20. HALF Possession 5: Demarcus Robinson stopped running and dropped a TD pass he should have caught. Possession 6: Holding on Erving and then false start on Fisher forces 3rd and 17, then a punt. Possession 7: Mahomes missed pass to Kelce causes punt. Mainly penalties killed us. That’s whats crazy about what the kid did. Overcoming Erving’s dumbass which caused 2nd and 30 was incredible. |

The broncos did a great job of disguising their coverages so what Mahomes thought would be there wasn't. He now has tape to look for other hints and how to quickly recognize and exploit those coverages. Tape works both ways and I think Mahomes will study that and with Andy figure out exactly how to beat it.

Sometimes when I teach this in the classroom, it feels like time-traveling intervention that kept Germany from winning WWII (Or Hitler doing a lot a lot of coke - that helped too). Last edited by Chiefspants; 10-03-2018 at 09:34 AM.. |

He needs to figure out how to adjust and beat them in the quick game, which he did do quite a bit later. My biggest worry was how the Broncos man coverage really frustrated the wrs. |

I've never had the impression that the Germans should have won WWII; only that they maybe could have. Had Stalingrad not gone sideways on them, I guess it's possible. WWI, OTOH, they should've won 3 or 4 times over. They had every conceivable advantage and just shot themselves in the foot several times. |
