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.

Lets take a closer look: KC @ Oak: 20-89; 4.4YPC DEN @ KC: 10-35; 3.5YPC KC @ AZ: (Minus the 63 Yard run outlier) 10-32; 3.2 YPC OAK @ KC: 21-63; 3YPC Notice a trend? That's about 3.5 YPC over the course of a 4 game stretch. That's a pattern. And the pattern says that our running game has not been effective. And simply bashing your head into a brickwall hoping that the brickwall breaks isn't a great idea. Bottom line is that the Chiefs have to throw the ball in order for their ground game to become a effective again.

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.

I think without a doubt the O-line is. Having said that, the Chiefs offense isn't all that bad. When we have a decent 3rd down conversion rate, it's pretty good.
Reason why we're struggling for a playoff spot is the D is incredibly unlucky. We're last in the league in take-aways. We only have 4 INTs the whole year. 4! Had we caught a decent number of the balls DBs had in their hands, we'd have 2-3 more wins. |

It's a kind of weird situation where you can't blame just one, but all have some fault. I think a good passing attack requires all of these areas to be strong, and it's a multiplying effect, not an adding one. Unless they're all strong, the result won't be strong, and if they're all humdrum the result is what we've got.
I'm become far less inclined to blame the receivers as time goes on, because I don't see them even getting looked at before the checkdowns.

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