What exactly is MVS doing for his $$$?
And check the play-by-play of the Super Bowl. The WRs did almost nothing. 80 yards receiving for the entire game. A whole 11 whopping receptions by all 5 WRs that saw a target in the SB.
What actually happened, is that Pacheco's running, Spags stopping PHI's offense three times in the 2nd half, and Toub's STs saved KC from another SB loss. The WRs had almost nothing to do with it either way, except for the pair of TDs on the whip routes for one yard a-piece.
Last night, on that 15-play drive, KC completed just one pass. To Kelce. No passes were completed to a WR, out of 5 possible targets on WRs.
Even if we include the previous drive (14 plays), in which 4 passes were completed to WRs, out of 29 total plays, there were 16 possible passing snaps? Four completions to TEs/RBs. 4 catches total for WRs, none in the final drive.
And not for lack of trying. Pat stood back there no less than 3 times waiting for up to 8 seconds for someone to get open, and then just decided to run it instead. he ran it 7 times in the game, which I think is the same number of rushes he had in the last game, and nearly twice what his career average is (3.7 rushes/gm). He's currently on pace to run it 96 times this season. Ninety-six times.
Someone remind me. How did Pat hurt his ankles the last couple times? Wasn't he running? How much is Clark paying him to run around instead of using that God-given golden arm?
And where is it written that it's okay for our WRs to catch balls at a 58% rate? That's piss poor, and not even just for a SB-Bound team.
So, yeah, I guess I'm concerned about the "WR stats," as you call it. I don't like Pat running it 7 times a game, when that's exactly how he gets hurt, and I don't like watching the offense stall and struggle as often as it has been recently, especially when it's clear that the WRs are consistently inconsistent about running the right routes, getting open when they're ****ing supposed to, and not dropping balls.
you know Pat only attempted to pass 30 times, and we ran it 35 times? you know what the situation was the other two times that happened? one was the wind game when it was blowing like 40 mph. And the other was when he hurt his wrist or hand in the first half, and we ended up running it 25 times in the 2nd half or however many exactly it was.
Last night was the first time in Pat's career that KC ran it more than he attempted to throw it.
Tell me that was the gameplan. Tell me it was the plan to have Pat run it three times after standing behind the line for as many as 8 seconds, going through his progressions twice before taking off.
Explain how our WRs are supposed to be little more than window dressing, and yet we're supposed to get back to the SB, while dragging their dead weight for 19 games while they average 2.5 catches/game.
