It worked quite well as teams still played us as the Super Chiefs and we ate up the shell coverages.
Problem is we haven't done anything great since.
In 2023 teams started to walk up as they saw how terrible the weapons were. And now the easy short gains weren't so easy.
Since 2023 we look like a stale version of 2022. Dink and dunk offense that isn't that effective as teams realized we aren't actually explosive or dangerous.

Well, again, We lost Hollywood before the season started and Rice in game 4. So we had a rookie in Worthy and then Juju one knee and Dhop who appears to be cooked.
What happened was NOT the plan. It's pretty amazing what they were able to accomplish considering everything that went wrong.
Show me ANY team that made it to the super bowl after losing it's top two receivers and started 5 left tackles.
It is what it is. There's no massive failing here. We just didn't quite have the horses to get over the line.
