Chiefs Observations from my easy chair. - Page 2

oldman · 10-03-2022, 05:08 AM

OL (minus Brown) were money last night and it showed with CEH's 92 on the ground and Pacheco adding another 63. Only 1 trick play was needed to score and that was due to the interior 3 owning the Bucs line. A little Martyball is a good thing.

The zebras let the players determine the outcome of the game. We got away with a couple. Clark was clearly in the neutral zone when the Bucs were called for too many guys on the field and Jones might have been called for roughing the passer. Tommyboy was chirping all night long but didn't get a favor. Did anyone notice if he committed battery on a defenseless Ipad?

CEH's TD reception will surely make the highlight reels this week. Just Patrick being Patrick.

The only thing I can bitch about was the unnecessary INT in the 4th. It was 3rd and 5 and PMII either missed or ignored a wide open McKinnon in the left flat. That would have kept the drive alive and we wouldn't have had to listen to Collinsworth yapping about Brady.

That’s what some players do

Kelce does the same thing

Did we even do one Jet Sweep last night?

We have our RT of the future

Individual numbers show nice games from Andrew Wylie and Creed Humphrey in particular. Wiley won on 96% of pass blocks and 84.8% of run blocks. Humphrey was 100% on pass blocks and 87.9 on run blocks. https://t.co/0ZNlfdMPFQ

They weren't perfect, but this was far and away the best officiated game I've seen in a very long time. I have no problem with letting both sides just play football and not calling every little miniscule ticky-tack thing they see. It made the whole watching experience so much more enjoyable.

If it's called right down the middle, I am fine with a few hiccups. As long as they aren't throwing flags for phantom holding on every Brady incompletion on 3rd down, I'm good with it. Our DBs were being incredibly aggressive, too. There were several times I was fully expecting the yellow to come out and it never did.

So much more enjoyable to watch games like that.

Wylie has not been bad this year. He's been clearly better than OBJ.

irafreak · 10-03-2022, 08:21 AM

Nothing but positives for me. The defense is going to actually get better as the season continues. Some of those middle blitzes where everyone got jammed up, will get better as they learn their assignments.

Jones got up field quick almost anytime he wasn't doubled and even then sometimes he did. Greek will improve his technique. Clark just fills up a roster spot. Our secondary played well, Evans pushed off a lot and they just made some great plays.

Not concerned about the defense at all. We'll get pressure when those exotic spags blitzes get sorted out.

Offensive gameplan was brilliant. Everything worked. Execution sometimes failed but guys were open and they didn't know what was coming. One of the best start to finish offensive games I've seen from Reid and Mahomes.

He's a decent RT. Certainly for a projected backup he's above average at the position. Better than anyone expected. He'll be tested though against Maxx Crosby. We'll see how that goes.

I still think Wylie should have started at RT during that Super Bowl disaster. Moving him to LT only made things worse.

arrwheader · 10-03-2022, 08:43 AM

This team came out to make a statement. CEH and Pachecho were running with attitude and our Oline was looking to eat babies. Nasty performance and I loved it. Great seeing this from our offensive line. I love Mahomes and doing his mahomes things but paring that with an offensive line that is looking to punish your ass on the ground as well makes this team unstoppable.

I am a little irked our defense gave up 31 points to them but I think when we were up 3 tds, Spags said we don't want a comeback just leave the underneath stuff open and contain, no big plays and let the clock run out. PAt doesn't throw that int we still probably win by 3 scores with that strategy.

Remmers moved to Left tackle for that game. And he was as big of a dumpster fire in that game as he was for the Panthers in their sb loss.

Hawker007 · 10-03-2022, 08:44 AM

Did anyone else notice how poorly the clock management was handled by the Bucs down the stretch? After we got the first down with around 2:30 left, TB should've used their timeouts before the 2:00 minute warning. If they stop us on all 3 plays and force us to punt, they could've gotten the ball back with just under 2:00 minutes left.

Instead, they let us run the clock all the way down to the 2:00 minute warning without running a play, so it was basically useless for them. Then, we only had to run 2 plays to use 2 timeouts leaving us with the ability to run the entire play clock down the last play. Just terrible clock management by the Bucs.

I'm not so sure about Juju. I think he fits rather well as a WR2 in this offense. MVS I would put more on the table to be a potential cut next year. His dropsies is concerning and his contract would allow to get out of it early.

True, Mecole might have pastures that lie elsewhere. That does not discount the fact that Mahomes came to the line, made a decision based upon what he thought was seeing and locked on. Meanwhile Mecole was wide open for an easy TD. Mahomes guessed wrong. Just needs cleaned up a bit.

That is not just a lack of trust. That is also ego as for Mahomes to get to the line, making read adjustments based upon what he is seeing. He is discounting more than one read on occasion and there have been times where he guessed wrong. He still needs to go through his reads, or at least look like he is.

htismaqe · 10-03-2022, 08:56 AM

MVS has a couple of drops but he also had a couple of stellar catches last night too. Given his contract, it's highly unlikely they let him go after this season.

This is the issue the reason why I think Mahomes comes to the line and has already taken a receiver or two out of the play based upon what he is seeing in the defense. He knows he doesn't always get the best pass protection so the decisions have to come quicker.

What we saw last night is exactly who this guy is. He's going to get open downfield and make plays, and he's going to drop balls that make you say WTF. With that contract, you just accept that "it is what it is" and move on.
