Why are the Chiefs not a run first team?
They have the best blocking fullback in the NFL and he didnt make an appearence until 4 minutes in the game? No I-form zone runs, no counters, no play-action to help the oline. Why is sherman even on the roster then? They have depth at running back so run the damn ball. Give alex 3rd and 3-5 so we have options and stop throwing on first down. I just cant figure out the bad play calling.

Andy loves chucking the ball all over and for some reason thinks Alex can do just that.
I have no idea why.

Didn't spend a lot of time watching the Eagles over the past 10 years before Reid got here, did you?

I really wish Reid would give up play calling duties.

Sad as it is, I agree. He seems to be a great locker room and practice field coach, and he's been great at building a team (though much of that obviously is due to Dorsey). But he just seems to call boneheaded plays all the time during games.
Unfortunately, I seem to recall a press conference recently where he said that calling plays is one of his favorite parts of the job, so I don't anticipate that's gonna change. |

My post was more sarcasm than actual question. The Eagles had a great running back as well and never gave him the ball either. Our overrated GM, who's dick everyone wants to suck purely because he is not Scott Pioli, brought in a coach garunteed to not appropriately utilize our best player(last night aside).

Sometimes it's not how many carries but when they are called that is important. Denver gonna stuff one of the leagues best runners or a bulldozer in Knile Davis at the 2 yard line 2 or 3 times in a row? Good for them, tip of the cap. But we'll never know because our coach called for 3 passes, which all happened to be behind the line of scrimmage

It's how and when they are running it is the problem. Too much shotgun not enough under center with the right personnel. Not even sure if I saw sherman in before the 4th quarter. Where was the play action with boot/waggle?

A pass happy offense only works if you have the personnel to do it. We do not have the QB nor the WR's to pull it off. Mac is good, Kelce good but who else? Avant and Wilson do nothing. DAT nothing and Conley has not seen the field much.
I said at seasons start the OL will spend this year building continuity and we need to find a second WR. Conley may be it next season but he needs more training.

I don't have complaints about run vs pass yesterday. I don't have an issue with not being run first yesterday because Peyton has torched us every time we tried to manage a game against him. We had quite a few runs on first down.
The problem yesterday was situational play calling. Not enough running in the red zone. Too many ****ing svreen passes in the red zone. Horrible decision to pass to close the first half. |
