Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]

[SHOWTIME]

Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

It's been that way for years. Not just this season or the last few weeks. People are complaining about blowouts this year but we haven't had many under Reid/Mahomes. All they do is win games. Mostly close games. This season has been a more extreme example I admit, because they've been cutting it too close on many of these. But the pattern is similar as other years. It's just getting more attention now than before.

Spot on. It’s been this way since the 2020 Super Bowl win. Mainly because:
A) we always have a hard schedule due to finishing in the Super Bowl
B) we get EVERYONES best game. We are 99% of the NFL’s Super Bowl game, not just divisional rivals, every team.
C) we play conservatively in the regular season so we can do better in play offs. We open games by marching the field with ease, score, then go ‘right let’s not doing anything fancy now’ oh shit we’re tied in 4th Q, ‘right get the proper playbook out’

And the KC defense does not force a ton of turnovers, which is the quickest way to blowout the opponent. If the other team pretty much has 0 turnovers every week, your Offense better have their A+ game if you hope to blowout the opponent.

Chiefs are Tied for 30th in turnovers forced this year. They were tied for 28th in turnovers forced last year. The real question everyone should be asking is why are the Steelers not blowing out their opponents more often? They lead the league in turnovers forced with 28. Compare that to only 10 turnovers forced by KC Defense this year.

So the question is what changes from two weeks ago when Wayna was a turnstile of failure?

Cleveland's defense is better than the Raiders, with arguably the most talented pass rusher in the NFL.

Are the Chiefs going to adjust schematically to ensure that Cleveland doesn't exploit Wanya?

The fact that Morris went out there at the end of the Charger game instead of moving Thuney leads me to believe he is playing Sunday… As for a plan??? Hope, pray and quick passes..

Right. Although they've been very successful, there's a danger to playing such a flippant style. You can't always turn on the light switch and other times it might be too late.

In both 2018 and 2021, the offense didn't show up for a half and it lost them championship games against the Patriots and Bengals.

That's just bullshit. They beat Baltimore and Pittsburgh since Jameis took over and nearly beat Denver on the road on MNF.

They don't "****ing suck". At all.

Browns are 21st in run defense allowing 128 rush yards per game.

They need to run the ball down their throats but Andy’s fatal flaw is that running the ball is boring to him.

Quick passes, screens, rolling away from Garrett.

Andy won’t do it but FFS put Firsker next to Wanya on passing downs to help him.

This and also running more tempo to negate the pass rush… which worked against the Chargers.

I agree! Jameis might throw 3 interceptions but at the same time throw for 400 yards. With the way our secondary has been performing, the Browns are dangerous, and not to be taken lightly. IMO

They played close division games and got rolled by the Chargers and Saints. The Broncos put 41 on them.

The Chiefs need to cut out the bullshit non focused football and go out and play a complete football game and beat someone. They keep ****ing around, they'll lose a close one.

Not running the ball more in the last game was nuts. The Chiefs were ahead most of the game, Mahomes was getting hit constantly, and the run game wasn't poor. Andy/Nagy didn't help the offense much. Mahomes has taken a lot of punishment in recent weeks.

While it is true that CLE is giving up 128yds/gm on the ground for the season, over their last 3 games vs. PIT/DEN/PIT, they've given up just 115 yds/gm, which would currently make them 12th vs. the run. And both PIT and DEN run the ball more than most teams, iirc, so it's not like CLE played two teams that don't run the ball over their last three.

And for those of us that watched all three, or at least two, of these games, it was pretty obvious that CLE's front was able to blunt both DEN/PIT rushing attacks most of the time.

[O.city]

They were running for 2 yards a pop.

Just run the ball isn't the answer when the defense is playing basically telling you "we dare you to throw it deep".
