Our OL was dinged up for about 10 weeks (starting 5 only had 56 snaps together going into week 10 or 11). It took about 5 weeks for them to rebuild their chemistry.
In the playoffs opposing defenses played a lot of 4-man fronts, some even 2- or 3-man fronts; 2 LBs. Not sure our running game ever faced a 7-man box. A lot of the time it was 5-6 man boxes. Damien seemed to run harder and with more elusiveness late in the season and in the post-season than anything he did early in the season. |

KC was 23rd in rushing for a reason. Obviously veach and reid agreed or we wouldn't have used a 1st round pick on a running back. |

Freese is almost a +20 war player. Hardly average.

Willams is a nice player but he’s never been healthy for an entire 16 game season, let alone, a 19 game season, which is why I said back in March that the Chiefs would take a running back early and possibly in the first round. Of course, CP said I was wrong and that the Chiefs just needed better offensive lineman but lo and behold, the Chiefs took a running back in the first round. Williams played well in the playoffs and Super Bowl and like the rest of the team, caught fire at the exact right time. If he could do that year-in and year-out, the Chiefs wouldn't be able to afford him on their roster. |

We likely don’t beat the Chargers or the Vikings without Damien. He was that critical to our HFA this year. He was also averaging 4 YPC against a great front against the Titans and was critical to our 7 minute drive that put us up 28-17 against the Titans. The thing that hurt his average was when Reid called three straight draw plays up 35-24 (with 2 minutes remaining) that the Titans keyed in on with their front and our weak IOL. I agree CEH is the future and just watching Kollmann’s analysis on CEH makes me stoked about this offense, but I do not think we win the SB a without Damien this year - and that’s a big ****ing deal. |

I'm not a real big Damien fan, mediocre in the regular season missed 5 games, and because of the absence he's "fresh" for the playoffs

That doesn’t count. He’s ALWAYS non-clutch.

In my opinion, this, along with “Ward isn’t a very good corner” are two unfair takes that have developed since the Texans game.
They both had terrible games, don’t get me wrong - but it’s amazing how quickly people have forgotten how clutch DRob was in the early season (and against the Patriots last year) when the lights were brightest. |

Some guys are just great all the freaking time, while others just can't rise to that level of play on a consistent basis. Consistency is separates "normal" players (who are light years ahead of the other 8 billion people on this planet in terms of sports and athleticism) from those that are consistently great on a daily basis. Demarcus Robinson is a guy, that for whatever reason, is an average player, so it's normal that he'll have highs and lows. Coming up with a routine TD catch doesn't make him any more "clutch" than seeing him drop an easy 3rd down, then saying he sucks. He's an elite athlete on the field with other elite athletes but he's not a consistent elite athlete, which is what separates him from greatness. |

I was watching the AFC championship game and thinking the same. It will take CEH 2 years to equal that accomplishment.

Maybe he heard the haters and wanted to prove them wrong?
