Post here if you were an idiot who thought we needed to run the ball more.

Particularly if you believed it needed to be done out of power formations

No, the Chiefs needed to execute the passing game. And they finally did. They fought their way out of it.

And now we are going to skull**** everyone with our goddamn elite QB.

Direckshum said we are a power running team

Today was pretty perfect in the amount and efficiency of rushes. Williams is so slow, you can time him with a sun dial.

When you have Patrick Mahomes, you should throw more than you run.

At a disgusting pace.

You have to take the underneath stuff including running the ball and screens/swing passes.

Those were lacking over the last few weeks - almost like we forgot we had them.

This take > your thread

It certainly isn’t running right to Wylie’s side.

This is true but there is 2 ways you beat the 2 deep shell coverage and that is running the ball against a light box or the short passing game. For the last month Mahomes has struggled with the short passing game so in those instances we need to run the ball.

I thought tonight outside of running Williams on sweeps the run game was pretty decent and we had 23 carries. I think 23-25 carries is about right. Unfortunately CEH is back next week so we will start sucking again in the running game.

Here's my hot take: the Raiders threw out the playbook that was constraining our offense. I didn't see many two high safety looks. Also when you are down multiple scores, you basically have to throw the two high safety plays out.

Early in the game, Kelce was blocking, before releasing down field. That delayed release works like gold for getting a TE open.

Don't need one. Our run pass ratio was the same it has been most of the year. You are too much of a dummy dum dum to realize it.

Because passes on drives that end in punts should count. Okay

It all counts.

No honey, the only stuff that counts is what leads to a score.

Yes, unsurprisingly passing with the most talented QB who ever lived proved a better choice than running with a bunch of fringe RBs.

You're going to lead this thread in posts, so good job following instructions.

Is this actually true? The entire first half we got the same 2 high safety looks we've been getting all season.
