Seriously? That's your take away?
Look, pretend it's not the Chiefs. Hell, pretend it's a college team. If I told you that the entire WR room for that team scored just 13 TDs in 17 games, while the top-10 teams' WR rooms scored an average of 22-25 TDs, but your team had the best OC and the best QB in the conference, would that raise an eyebrow?
How about if I told you that going back several years, few if any teams made the playoffs with a WR room that scored less than 18 TDs as a group?
Think about it. Objectively. you can go back and look at any playoff teams for the last dozen years; the tale of the tape is the same: what the Chiefs accomplished in 2022 was
in spite of the WR room. Just how likely do you think it is that that can be replicated consistently?
I mean, I really don't get why this is so hard to understand. The WR room struggled last season, and we kind of got lucky in that Travis had a career type season, Mecole scored some timely TDs in the middle part of the season that may have saved a game or two, and McKinnon stepped up when JJSS stepped down.
The fastest, most athletic, and most able pass catchers/scorers (as a unit, let's not quibble about individual players) on the team struggled as a whole for more than two months at the end of the season, when they should've been at their best
That culminated in the Chiefs WRs totaling just 81 yards in the Super Bowl.
I won't go into how they did in the playoffs as a whole, but it wasn't great.
Well, maybe I do get why it's so hard for some of you. "We're the number one offense!" and "We have the number one scoring offense!" That's the issue, isn't it?
Funny how we can understand just how silly season total stats/monikers are when KC is playing "the number one scoring defense!" but when some talking heads staple "KC has the number one scoring offense" to the Chiefs, it suddenly becomes the most important stat in the world.
But I get it, I guess. it's fun to throw that stuff around.
