I dont see the way this team is built that it can be a "run the clock out" type team. Its built to score not hold a lead.
I think they let the offense just run wild this season and as they can add in the time of possession aspect. We can score in seconds, if the defense can get a couple stops a game we go score in seconds again. ... I just dont think they line and the backs can hold up to running the clock out. Not to mention that if the pass is open even late in games its a less risky option to throw than run |

After the Chargers game in KC last season, I'm hoping Andy increases his standard for a safe lead to up 4 TDs in the 4th quarter. That and the improved defense allowing more offensive snaps/game should allow for maintaining the 36 pass attempts/game from last season. If Mahomes can complete 3 more attempts/game while maintaining his 13.3 yards/completion average in 2019, he'll have over 5700 yards and a good possibility of 55 TDs.

Not this year. Mainly because Hardman needs a minute and it's hard to count on Watkins playing 16 games.

I hope that Mahomes yards and TDs are down a little. It would be a sign that the Defense has taken a big step forward.

If the defense is better- that means he won't be standing on the sideline 65% of the game while the other team is eating up the clock. He will get More opportunities, More scoring drives, more everything. Under your scenario- the defense is doing their job- but you are hoping the offense is Less efficient. |

If our running game is solid then I will say no.

When Manning set all the records with the Donks- they had the best defense in football- a Championship defense.
Their defense got a lot of sacks and turnovers, 3 and outs and really turned up the heat once they had a lead. They forced teams to abandon their running game to try to keep up on the scoreboard. Manning had More scoring opportunities, not Less. Same when Brady threw for 50 Td's. The had incredible talent on the Offensive side of the ball- but also had a defense that could make teams go away from what they do best. Chief's have made a huge effort by the players they have signed on defense- to stop the run. They want to get a lead- make teams one dimensional and force them into mistakes. Same blueprint as 2 Championship teams when they had unstoppable offenses. Mahomes should get More chances to put up numbers- Not less. Plus we don't have Barry Word and Okoye back there to run out the clock every time we get up a few scores. Expecting Mahomes to do worse than last year is simply not probable. |
