TL;DR

I have read a ton of comments through the game and up to now and can't understand why people are not pointing out the specific glaring thing missing from this game. So odd.. like it's on purpose holding cards for later (no not really buying the conspiracy, but...).

NO horizontal shifting in the game whatsoever!!...

Between Tyreek & DAT literally not even a single fake handoff across the backfield, let alone the fancy double fake flip to Kelce.

The Chiefs clearly have a lot of respect for Shaziers speed, but you have to keep the D honest, I mean WTF? The reason people have been raving about Reid & Nagy's playcalling this year is because of how they have been ruthlessy ripping teams up not just verticall, but horizontally as well. Opening up lanes for the RB, making scramble ops for big passes, and on and on.

We turned Tyreek Hill into Albert Wilson tonight (Wilson has been great this year, not the point.). The Chiefs didn't make the Steelers respect their world class speed AT ALL this game.

When you get into a game, one of two things is going to happen.. You play your game and force the other team to scramble and try to keep up, or you find yourself the one scrambling and needing to regroup. The composed team always wins. The Chiefs never even tried to assert themselves on the Steelers in this manner tonight. They lined up and ran right at the line that continuously outmuscles the Chiefs O-line. Adding to that, it rattled the O line which led to a slew of drive killing penalties, and had Smith running happy feet central trying not to get his ass kicked in there? We leave Watt & Miller unblocked and blow right by their asses but all the sudden it's the Steelers the only option is just to pray not to get sacked and just chuck the shit?

Furthermore... Smith is probably the best reader of defenses in the entire NFL.. when they do these crosses behind the line it sets him up to be able to diagnose the mismatches and exploit.

And then tonight... NOTHING!

Line up, get ****ed or get sacked. if you're standing long enough chuck it with the fear of god in you like you are about to get drilled and throw shitty ****ing passes.

This game was ****ed before it started. Reid & Co tucked tail in the damn office room last monday. If you have weapons, you have to force the defense to respect them, not do what they want instead.
