I probably didn't state that very well at all.

I think Martyball absolutely gets them in trouble when it comes to letting up and not keeping their foot on the gas. It's one of those things you don't care about when they're still winning (like last season when they were barely beating shit teams), but suddenly matters when they waste drives and end up losing. Let Mahomes do his thing and win games... shit will happen (and sometimes a lot of shit). I just don't think you can keep Mahomes in the pocket and have him hand off every 1st down and call it good.

It's obviously not the problem that's plagued them... that would be turnovers. I don't think that's fixed by Martyball (whether you're saying that or not), however, because most of the turnovers have been either fluky in nature (off the hands of receivers, off the arm of a defensive lineman, the CEH fumble on the 2nd and short against the Ravens) and not exactly 'forcing' anything or airing it out (the exceptions being Mahomes' pick against the Ravens, the one against the Eagles, and whatever the **** that was against WFT... where he was forcing plays).

I'm not advocating total Martyball, just run it more and keep the our D off the field. Force them to bring 8 in the box. Force them to abandon Cover 2. While I'm not saying don't throw a 50 yard bomb when it's there, just don't disregard an 8 yard up and out for a 1st to eat clock. I'm also not advocating taking the foot off the gas. If we're up by 17 in the 4th, keep scoring. Like you said, shit happens and it's happened too many times to us. A 40-burger to the other team's 24 works for me and I don't care if Henry has 3 TDs and 200 yards. That's for fantasy boys to drool about.
