0 points and 32 yards in the first half and some people don't realize Reid is part of the problem.

Why? He's still an unknown. GM's first drafts can generally be thrown out plus they didn't have a first rounder....because of the great drafting of Mahomes, who's discovery can largely be credited to Veach.
Veach didn't force Sutton to run an outdated and overly complex system with a coaching staff that struggles to teach and reinforce basic technique. He didn't sign 2 horrible contract extensions to EB and Houston that strangled the cap. He signed Watkins to protect Mahomes. It worked. Yes, he was injured again for what 6-7 games? If Ford lines up 4 inches back then that signing looks amazing with the game he had against NE. He signed Hitchens, who had a good career in Dallas. Suttons horrible scheme can be blamed for his decline but Hitchens will have a great year next year with Spags. Personally, I wonder if the Chiefs had planned on moving away from the 3-4 all along this year. If that's the case, then Veach was brilliant. Hitchens is a better 4-3 LB. Speaks is a 4-3 DE. DoD is a 4-3 WLB. Nnadi and Williams fit a 4-3 and a 3-4. KPass is a 4-3 DE (Dorsey guy). Ragland doesn't fit the 4-3 but he was traded for 2 seasons ago now to fill a huge need in Sutton's scheme. I don't mind it at all. Low risk trade. The Irving trade was a good trade who looked surprisingly good outside of being against all world Aaron Donald. I really liked the Watts pick but it's unfortunate he got hurt. The Lucas signing was great but Sutton refused to play him. Scandrick was a good signing for the big need we had. Ward was a tremendous trade. I like the Fuller trade, who started to play better as the season wore on. Veach has the next few drafts before I'll start judging him but I'm fine with him so far. He had one draft after being named GM and didn't have any draft capitol. This draft is a huge draft coming up. If he extends both Hill and Jones then he will be ahead of the curve unlike Dorsey, who waited too long on both Houston and EB. |

It was more than Reid. They couldn't get on the field. The first two plays, which were running plays with Williams, were horrible IMO. I thought they played a little tight on offense and maybe that's why Reid called them. The line was horrible and Mahomes missed a wide open TD (Wiley missed a block so Mahomes faced pressure) and took a bad sack so they should have been tied 7-7.

Run the time off, trust the best facet of your team to win, not hand it to Sutton against Brady and pray. |

We're never going to be great at running the ball when the opponent knows we want to run the ball; it's a factor of Reid's offensive line schemes. They're not maulers, they pull and trap and move. They're not straight ahead road graders. I'll take that, as the creativity there is part of what makes the offense explosive. As for the defense and compaining they're on the field too much-hey, make a ****ing stop. I mean, really. That's the problem with a bend-and-break defense. |

If they were at the 10 or 15 and didn't try to run it in over 3 downs I would agree with you. |

shrug. I mean, you know, it's funny that we've gone from not being able to score ENOUGH to OMG we scored too fast. |

Face it, giving Tom Terrific that long was a contributing factor. And the D sucks too. |
