And yet...scoring remains constant.

I wonder if it's a function of not having him, or just the defenses we've played...

I'm betting the defenses we've played. I read the LAC have the #1 Defense since week 5

This is a great thread. However... I think we are a different offense today than we were game 1, and not for the better. I wanted to say that was losing hunt. But the Arizona game hinted that maybe good defenses were starting to find ways to limit us... Hunt played that game. The chargers and ravens put together brilliant plans and I'm sure other defenses are taking note. But putting up 24 and 28 on those defenses is still outstanding. We are still an offense juggernaut. But the first half season in the mahomes era might have been a sugar rush. We went from best offense of all time to best offense this season. I'll take it.

I still stand by the idea that much of the data you presented is skewed by how often early in the season we flat out annihilated teams so quickly that we basically played offense for 2-3 quarters in many of those games. We've played 3 games post hunt and apart from SD, our offense had to play 4 quarters in each game.

1st Half

70 Drives
29 Scores/41%
20 TDs/29%
9 FGs/13%
8 TOs/11

2nd Half

75 Drives
35 Scores/47%
24 TDs/32%
11 FGs/15%
14 TOs/19%

These numbers show the defense is only playing a very slight ammount worse in the second half of games. 3% change in TD's isnt signifigant especially when the TO's almost double.

Consistantly bad I guess.

Wait until Veech fixes this defense. Give Mahomes 3 to 5 more drives a game and see what kind of numbers he puts up.

Id say his chance of fixing the D is extremely slim. He seems to think hes the smartest guy in the room and will probably have a hard time admitting his mistakes. Considering the talent that was available during the deadline that was extremely affordable and he thought the D was fine.

God that took quite a bit of time on my phone using google sheets lol. Switching back and forth between ESPN and Sheets. Was interesting to do though.

Says a report after he broke his leg. You seem to believe every ****ing thing that is a positive for this team. Report after report that we weren't trading for him. Even Terez said so, then he breaks his leg and all of the sudden we were trading for him. :rolleyes:
