The problem is that the pass catchers are just so damn fast that what should be a 6 yard gain becomes 14. Kelce's 40 yarder to start the game should've been an 8 yard gain based on the scheme. Kelce simply out-athleted them.
There's just too damn much talent on that field. I have no earthly idea how you hold that offense back. Keeping them under 30 has to be considered a minor miracle. All I can see stopping them at this point is weather.

Excellent point. We have seen Hill take a simple swing pass to the house, Hunt busting tackles after catching a short pass and as you mentioned, Kelce is the best TE in the NFL in after catch yardage.
So go ahead- please, keep Mahomes in the pocket, he will take fewer hits in the open field and he has last years Rushing Leader as a safety valve if you try to blitz.
