Veach needed to step up his game even more, and he definitely did so.
I can't even fathom how amazing we could look this season if Moore is even just OBJ level at LT, we take a back in the first few rounds and Rice comes back at even 80%. Even before the draft, this offense has more potential than it has in years.

Winning begets winning.
The Chiefs won last year because they kinda assumed they would. It's what they always did.
So when crunch time came, in a league built for parity, they didn't puke on their shoes.
And had they managed ANYTHING offensively in the 1st half of the SB, I think they could've done that again. They were just so damn bad that they never gave the 'championship pedigree' a chance to save the day again.
I still maintain that there's not one roster decision that would've changed that outcome. Probably not 2. Put a healthy Trent Williams at LT and I don't think that fixes it. Put Tyreek Hill at WR and I don't think it fixes it.
We just got ****ing whipped. Everywhere.
They came out firing and we didn't. Hard to know/explain why. On that day, the Eagles were a damn buzzsaw and that happens from time to time. I look at that Seahawks Super Bowl over the Broncos back around 2013. If that game gets played 10 times, I think you see a 6-4 split in Seattles favor and I think 8 of those games are 1, 2 score games tops. Play that game 25 times and I don't think you get another 35 point ass-kicking.
That day the Seahawks just came out and absolutely took it to the Broncos. They weren't that much better than Denver. Denver didn't have any single fatal flaw that killed them or any specific roster change that could've been made to have saved the day.
They just got their asses kicked. It happens sometimes. Statistically the best offense in football
history couldn't find it's ass with a flashlight and a map. They just didn't have it.
Burn the tapes and move forward.
