What's the biggest problem with the Chiefs offense?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Our single biggest problem is the fact that we HAVE to throw the ball down the field. It needs to be done at least 5-7 times a game. The reason Our O-Line looks so bad at times is because defenses are overloading the box. And with the loss to Oakland they just put 2-3 guys on Charles. Throwing the ball downfield takes care of this. Plus there have been tons of times that Bowe or another receiver is wide ****ing open but AS is looking to throw short.

Well said and glad to see you are still around after the Manziel showing. It was a concern.

So why don't we throw the ball down field more often?

because...

1. Oline can't protect lone enough
2. WRs can't get open down field consistently or quickly enough
3. QB doesn't try
4. coach doesn't call down field passes enough
5. All of the above

Systematic problem that starts from the O-line and trickles down.

If the O-line can pass protect for a second or two longer, giving the WR's more time to get open, giving Smith more time to throw and alters his internal clock so he feels comfortable actually sitting in the pocket, allowing the coaches to call more plays designed to go down field.

Which is exactly what we saw last Sunday.

If I had to rank them though.

1. Offensive Line
2. QB
3. Playcalling
4. WRs

Here's the winner.

This guy gets it.

Notice how the loss of Donnie Avery hurt this team this year compared to what he gave us last year.

This team needs to do the following in order.

1. Is there a QB in the draft that is worth taking? (doesn't look like it this year)

if not than follow these steps.

2. A. Find a good OL to bring in via FA and the draft
2. B. Find some WR's with speed like Avery that can catch the damn ball.

And yes Reid is an issue, but that sure as hell aint goin nowhere.

Alex Gibbs philosophy was you have to throw downfield at least twice each Qtr.

[Mr. Laz]

Its all of it


Oline is shitty
QB is scared
WR's are mediocre
coaching doesn't demand more

[KC native]

Mark Castle Sorry, Alice Smiff

[Ebolapox]

we've got 99 problems and alex smith being a bitch (who won't throw more than a three yard out, who is his primary read) is definitely one of them.

I just want to know how guys like Emmanuel Sanders, Odell Beckham and every Eagle seems to be running wide ass open.

A multitude of reasons. Scheme, talent, QB.....

We seem to have guys run "wide ass open" too. You see theirs more than ours because their QB finds them.

Our QB is rarely allotted the time to find them, and when he is, he's too nervous to stand in and deliver.
