"The Drive III": 11 plays, 38 yards (6:32 duration)

Elway may have The Drive I and The Drive II, but we have The Drive III. Down 22-0 in the 2nd, we completed an 11-play drive that ate up nearly 1/2 the quarter....and then punted. It was a smorgasbord of WR screen passes, incompletions, QB scrambles and off tackle runs. (Then punted into the End Zone). The Steelers next play went for 26 yards.

Here's the recap for anyone wanting to be amazed:

Spoiler!

This was eerily reminiscent of Fat Andy's magical drive in the Playoffs vs the Patriots, which lasted only 16 plays and ate up 5:16 late in the game trailing by 2 TD. At least that one ended in a score. It's incredible how many worthless, no-gain plays this clown draws up.

Down by 36? Death by 1000 screens!

I've seen high school teams that take more chances down the field than the Chiefs do. Embarrassing.

I wanna cry. I just want to lay my head down and ****ing cry.

Something has to give here. Either it's the playcaller or it's the QB.

1. Is the playcalling limited because the QB is limited? Then the QB needs to go.

2. Is the QB limited because of the playcalling? Then the coach needs to get his shit together.

My money is on #1. We've seen Andy air it out in Philly. We know he's willing. He's coddling Alex Smith.

But we're in year 4 now and this offense is the same suck fest it's always been. Something has to give because there's been very little improvement. We're better at skill positions than we were, better on the O-line and still have a strong core of RB's, yet the results are the same.

The results are the same and the only thing offensively that hasn't changed since year 1 is Alex and Andy. So one of them needs to go, because no progress in 4 years is abysmal.

I think I've seen 1 or 2 WR screens work in Fat Andy's time here. Maclin scored on one last year in Oakland and Tyreke Hill had one vs SD week 1. I'm probably missing others, but good lord the "hit rate" on these is laughable.

I can't even tell anymore. Look at those first two passes in the game. I thought for sure that Reid had learned his lesson. And then he tries a swing pass to Charles and Smith ****ing overthrows him. It all went downhill from there.

8 plays that gained 5 or less yards. 3 of which gained negative yards. 1 "short middle" incomplete pass. All for 38 yards and a punt.

..which went into the end zone anyway. :doh!:

That wasn't even the worst drive.

They took 18 plays while down 36 points, dinking and dunking to the 3 yard line - no points.

Spoiler!

That's just pathetic. How much clock did Fat Andy milk on that one? I was long asleep by that point fortunately.

I think I'd rather re-watch the Presidential debate than click on that spoiler button.

5-6 minutes, IIRC.
