Our firepower is as only as strong as our o-line performs. Run blocking and pass blocking need to improve 'significantly' if we are to have a so called 'firepower' of an offense. Mahomes needs a chance to pass instead of running for his life and Hunt & Co. need to have holes opened whether small or large instead of creating their own holes the majority of the time, PERIOD. I haven't seen a dominating o-line since 2002-05. Just saying:shrug:

Lol. Need to improve significantly? Do you know that Alex Smith had a career season last year, was at some point in the conversation for the MVP award and that the Chiefs offense, including the running game, was elite?

I bet this was a typo- you meant 4577 right?

Alex Smith had over 4 k and that included a long midseason slump.

We had the leading rusher in the NFL and a QB that threw for over 4,000 yards behind an O line with starters missing last year.

I think they will be better this year, at least I hope so. What we do know- the play won't be over when our QB is flushed out of the pocket like it was last year. Defenses won't be able to stack the line either. Mahomes will make the O line better with his skillset and pocket awareness.

After this year- people will stop calling Kelce the 2nd best Tight End. I think he IS the best now since Gronk is hurt all the time. I would take Kelce over Gronk any day.

You apparently don't realize that part of the reason the running game struggled at times (especially during that mid-season slump) was because teams were stacking the box and keying on the running game. Alex Smith and his struggles and short passing made teams stop respecting the passing game. IMO, Pat Mahommes should make defenses respect the passing game on the whole field. And that, in turn, should open up the running game. It's not just about blocking.

The Chiefs aren't going to rebuild the 02/03 OL. That was one of the best OL's in history.

The current OL isn't good enough, yet they had the league leading rusher, a 1000 yard WR and a 1000 yard TE and a QB throw for 4000 yards.

The OL is good. If they improve significantly they'd be the best in the league which isn't really likely.

They should be made to look better when facing few stacked boxes this year I believe.

Not sure how teams will consistently blitz us next year. If you spread out Tyreek, Watkins and Kelce as receivers, then you go for whoever is single covered.
I like the 2 back option as well:

Lot of options for Pat if a defense blitzes

2nd best TE?

I disagree. I'd much rather have Kelce. That's not homerism. That's knowledge.
