Andy's Presser and Play calling
Great game. I'm very encouraged moving forward with this team. Lost on the road, by 3 pts, to one of the best offenses in the league. And, had a chance to end it with a dropped INT and a drive with 1:50 to go. I'll take it.
However, Andy Reid mentioned he could've called better plays in the game, and I couldn't agree more. Particularly on the second from last drive. Chiefs get the ball back with 1:50 to go, down by 3 and all 3 timeouts, Rams have none. They get the ball to the 45 ish with a pass to Tyreek with about 1:20 left if I remember correctly, and still 3 timeouts and the clock stopped. They need maybe 20 yards to be in FG range, but obviously want a TD for the win. Next play is the play where Mahomes is hit as he throws and it's picked by Peters. When the strength of the defense is the D line and it's rush, why not use the screen, draw, WR screens, bubbles, etc to work down the field instead of having Mahomes drop back with nothing but slow developing plays? I'm guessing that's what Andy is talking about. I know, you can second guess anything, but I was watching and thinking, don't try to get it all right here. Next play, game over. Frustrating. I'd think having Hunt in the mix at the end, with high percentage passes would have been the way to go rather than 5-7 step drop plays. Anyhow, great game. Chiefs gonna end up 14-2 with HVA throughout. |

Mahomes could have jetted to his right behind Kelce and ran like 20 yards and out of bounds. These are things he will learn with experience but Andys plays were jot good. Bad series.

Our defense is absolutely horrible; hard to argue against that. Having said that I don't blame last night's loss on the defense. Five turnovers by the offense was the deciding factor. Great game and effort IMO.

True. Penalties and turnovers, we should have won by 21

Only the 2nd team in history to score more than 40+ twice and lose. Bob Sutton's resume is one for the record books.

Not much has changed since the season started. This team will go as far as the Offense can carry them. The Offense was great last night, but 5 TO's on the road isn't going to get it done against one of the top 3 teams in the NFL. Even with our shit D, if we play them even up in TO's, we win that game by 10+ points, IMO. I'm not trying to lay this on the O, but they are pretty much forced to carry the entire load (and be as perfect as possible) until we can get some better talent in the D-Backfield.

Let's put the shoe on the other foot: If we are a Lambs fan, and the Chiefs win that game, THEY are asking how their defense gave up 55 points "AT HOME" They are flipping out after losing to New Orleans and Us. I think we will really benefit from this bye week. Rest and recover. Show Mahommes some film as he wasn't very sharp the last two weeks. |
