They didn't turn it over, commit penalties and drop the football.
It's nothing ground breaking. |

Exactly. That's my point. They just executed better, and a couple WRs being out kept them from rotating guys in so much.
There's no magic formula/counter that defenses now have to respond to. |

I'm kind of hoping they continue to move Rice around in the formations and take advantage of some mismatches he poses. Sprinkle in some Toney so he doesn't break for a few games, work James, Hardman, and Moore in the slot. Its probably the best formula for this group.

But as an example... Philly actually did a pretty good job of containing rashee. It's not like we refused to target him. He was often well covered. So it feels more than just execution. |

Id also say this was a unique game where our initial script didn't work, but our adjustments did. Not just a lack of execution. It just wasn't working on the initial drives. That's flipped from what we've been doing.

Again, the biggest difference was clearly execution. This is exactly why I say you are hilariously clueless. This is very simple shit. Even my ****ing mom who doesn't know shit about football understood this. |

This post script offense looked better. Much better. Our rotations were better, we managed the run game well, we set up rashee better, we carved out better roles for skyy and mvs even if that meant arguably hiding them some. But some of that as well has to do with Oakland giving us space to use the short game where philly dared us to win with Watson/mvs. It goes that way too. So where does that leave us? I think we've figured something out that gets us finally back to the juju standard. I also expect defenses to follow more of the philly second half blueprint. So there's some give and take. |

Again, it's about execution, which goes beyond just drops. Do you get it yet? |

Heard on the radio that Rice is #1 in the NFL in YAC per reception. Yup, even more than Reek. That 36 yarder last week probably helped a lot in that regard. I'm really pumped about this guy's future as a Chief.

The script was still fine, they were still on it by the 3rd drive.

To be fair it's all those things and usage, Rice had his highest percentage of snaps on the outside by some measure. I guess that's maybe partly connected to the limited rotation?
