If they hadn't stopped the run that entire drive, when we weren't even trying to fool them, what makes likesitintherectum think that we wouldn't have scored on another handoff to West? Or that we were even wanting a score there?
As for the 2nd part of your post. I totally disagree that the Donks have improved. Their defense hasn't improved and will likely take a step back with the loss of Wade. The quarterbacks don't appear to be improved. If Jamaal has any gas in the tank(I don't believe he does), then there should be some early improvement in the running game, but I don't see him finishing the season. The offensive line may be improved, but only if Sloth is literate enough to learn the game of football(not likely). The FA additions to the line are modest at best. And then there's the new coaching staff. They sure don't have impressive resume's. I really don't see 6-10 as being at all unrealistic. I hope that they get closer to 8-8, as long as the Chiefs sweep them again. But only because I want them drafting later and not be in position to draft a real QB without trading up.

I didn't miss the point at all... Denver gave KC the ball 43 yards from the endzone, so yeah you ran it a bunch not caring really if you scored or not, just kill the clock and if you score, great. And, thanks to a 15 yard facemask penalty, KC got within the 30 on the first play, so 8 runs at that point.
On the second part, we'll see how it all shakes out. I don't think the defense really takes a step back without Wade. Hell, you guys claimed it was going to be a downfall with Wade in year 3, I believe. And, now it's doom and gloom without him... so which is it?
