Shattering Myths: The Chiefs second half offensive failures

[Mama Hip Rockets]

The best running back in the NFL had 11 carries in the whole game, despite the fact, that the Chiefs had a double-digit lead for almost the entire game. That's poor playcalling.

The best RB in the NFL was getting shut down.

He had a 16-yard run and averaged 2.6 YPC on the other 10.

I wouldn't call 3.8 YPC "shut down." Plus, it's not all about YPC. It's about running out clock, keeping your defense off the field, grinding out tough yards, and wearing the other defense out. Throwing three straight short passes/incompletions when you're up by two or three scores does nothing but open up the floodgates for a comeback.

Andy Reid didn't tell Smith to check it down, dude. Nor did he drop the passes.

I can't BELIEVE there are people on here advocating for Martyball. Reid is damned no matter what he does.

Lotta truth here, you cant LET teams shut you down... gotta keep grinding, it pays off eventually

How do you keep the defense off the field when the other team is dominating them with long drives? Ried didn’t make adjustments and went into panick mode as he often does. He had no answers for what the Titans were doing on both sides. Kelce going down didn’t help much either. Even the great Tom Brady struggled when he lost his super star tight end for a while this season.

They mentioned the two same plays I have brought up numerous times.

Hunt runs for nine, leaving third and one. QB read option gets stuffed.

I just can't rewatch the game past that point.

once again with the all22.

Any douche can go thru a game and find plays were even Brady screws up or Rodgers. Its just plain stupid to be looking at the plays from above when the players on the field don't see it that way. Don't know why some of you idiots don't get that. They don't have a helmet cam that shows everything like that and does this guy tell us what the progression was? Got to know that cause every play has a progression, which most don't also seem to understand, so even if a wr breaks open he may not bee seen due to the progression. This is basic stuff but not in this place.

This isn't going through a progression.



This is even less progressive.



That's a bunch of ****ing bullshit that loses playoff games.

On the 3rd down he decided he was running almost immediately. Which means a 33 year old NFL QB trusts his legs more than his arm, yea that's how you win let me tell ya.

That's stupid as ****. It should easier to see some of those guys open from where Smith is. Harris and Wilson both flashed in front of his face. As the QB, surely to God he knows what the routes are before the play happens. You should be able to anticipate those openings.

The guy decided to try to scramble for yards, which he failed at, as opposed to giving one of his receivers a chance to make a play. Hell, not even that. Just a simple catch.

And DO NOT give me some bullshit response about how they might drop the pass. If they do, then ok, that's their fault. But it's the QBs job to give them the chance.

Yet Brees won because his defense was able to stop the dynamic Cam Newton who didn’t even give their offense a chance to make a game winning play by taking a sack. Sorry this has no validity. Brady lost to Eli how many times? Rodgers had a chance to get his team into the playoffs and choked.

Do you think the Saints even have that lead if not for Drew Brees making tons of plays throughout the game?

He also threw an int that gave them a chance to lose the game but his defense stepped up in the final seconds. Do the Titans have to make a comeback if it wasn’t for Smith making plays?

The Panthers scored more points than the Titans.

Brees put up 31, including 10 in the second half, and threw for more yards on the opening drive of the third quarter than Smith did the entire second half.

Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
