You'd expect that defenses will again follow more the philly second half model and keep tight on the short game while funneling to Watson/mvs. And good chance we are better at scheming ways to get the ball to our plaumakers anyway instead of accepting that the defense is letting Watson run free. |

I agree. Not to mention had a lot of designed blocking schemes to give rice just that little extra space to run after the catch. It certainly felt like a very different gameplan.

Definitely different. Skyy was in the slot more and Rice outside more. I expect that to continue and I think that's a better fit for Skyy. Not convinced it will be successful, but it could be. We took advantage of the shorter crossers several times in the game and that opened up the middle a little for our TE's as well. It seemed like we had a more simple game plan which allowed some success. We will see if GB's defense will adjust and if so this should open up some mid to deeper routes.

He is even more explosive after the catch than Tyreek, as crazy as that may sound. I don't remember in my time watching the NFL that I've seen a player with better acceleration after the catch than Rice. It's remarkable to watch.

How many drops did they have? And again, I don't know how many times I have to say it, but you keep ignoring it. It's about execution. That goes beyond drops. Why are you ignoring the fact that the Chiefs had 2 redzone turnovers in the Eagles game, and turnovers have been an issue all year? This is why I can't stand going back and forth with you. You don't actually listen to anything. You just keep repeating the same shit. I never said this is simply about drops. |

Guys, those outlets to Pacheco have been available all season long. Mahomes just hasn't taken them often, choosing to wait for someone to clear downfield. Those shallow crossers are not new, it's a staple of Andy's offense.
All of them, even Mahomes just flat executed the offense as it's always been designed a lot better. That's not to say that there were no new looks, but there's always new window dressing for what are Andy's fundamental concepts. But arguing that there was some big change in philosophy is wrong. They just flat played better, and took what the defense gave them and didn't shoot themselves in the foot. |

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but even Andy himself has essentially said that this is the issue. |

A couple more games like this and Kelce's gonna start getting open a lot more because he's not housing 3-yard drag routes. They'll let him start to get those easy 10-yard catches rather than get burnt by HOT RICE!!! |

I am not ignoring the 2 red zone drops vs philly. You say it's not about drops and yet keep driving this narrative to just clean up a few mistakes and we're golden. No. We were stuck against philly the second half. We missed opportunities in the red zone but also had a ton missed given how our defense gifted our offense field position and frequent possessions all night. It isn't just about drops and execution. We found a way to get the ball more to our plaumakers who aren't part of the execution problem in ways we couldn't in prior weeks even when we forced ourself to. Kelce has been blanketed in many games and it's not because he can't execute. Mahomes has been stuck often and it isn't because of this overblown narrative that he's just refuses to check down. Rashee was often well covered last week but this week found opportunities against a good defense. |
