I don't think most people realize that most of our recent games have been double-digit leads with 5 minutes left to go. Andy's just been an expert clock milker this year.

Their secondary simply doesn't match-up well against KC's offense, and we just watched a bad Big Ben with a noodle arm throw for 500+ and 4 TDs on these guys. In basically just 3 quarters. If Ben, who's a shadow of his former self, can chuck it for 5 bills and 4 TDs, what's Mahomes going to do? With the fastest WR, best TE in the game? Sammy, Hardman, DRob, and an actual run game? 600? 700? 7 Tds? 8 Tds?

1. Get consistent pressure on Mahomes with your front four 2. Have a secondary who can hold up in man coverage The Raiders and Chargers have both built their teams with that in mind. |

Also, the reasons some of the games are quite close was because we had a tough schedule and were playing tough teams at their place. |

The Raiders usually run a very horizontal west coast offense with Jacobs and Carr, lot's of short passing, lots of TE stuff, heavy dose of RB's. They've played us that way for most of Carr's career. In that game, the Chiefs mistakenly assumed that they would do it again and instead they put Agholor and Ruggs out on the edges and took the top off of KC's defense. KC just simply got out-coached. The Raiders have also built their roster specifically to combat some of the things the Chiefs display in their own tendencies. It's part of playing twice a year. Not likely to factor in this Sunday. |

And go for it on nearly every 4th down and take chances like the Panthers did. You have to score on most drives and when you get into our half you have to score 7 not 3.

Las Vegas - 21-17 after 3 (up 4) Tampa - 27-10 After 3 (up 17) Denver - 19-13 after 3 (up 6) Miami - 30-10 (up 20) New Orleans - 21-15 (up 6) We take our foot off the gas, that's what Andy always does. The whole winning close games narrative is just simply a lazy take. We had comfortable leads against a few playoff contenders and major threats in the NFC at the end of the year. And of course division games have the potential to always close, so Las Vegas and Denver are different animals. |

Not that it matters today, but I have CLE being a real contender in two seasons. Gotta get your secondary healthy, probably need to upgrade a S, but definitely have to upgrade at LB. This assumes that you get Vernon back (who I thought was playing some pretty good football before he got hurt). As it stands today, I don't see how CLE defends Kelce. Your defense doesn't seem to have the horses to take him away, or even slow him down much, unless they just tackle him at the LoS. And then I don't see how they hold down both Hill and Watkins. Take away Hill with a double, and Watkins does whatever he wants underneath singled up is not going to go well. Throw Hardman in there, and who do you have to cover him 1v1? Play some version of zone, and Hill, Kelce, and Watkins will get open all day. Heck, we all saw PIT's receivers get open on nearly every play, but Ben wasn't capable of delivering the ball until the second half. I know Joe Woods kind of went conservative from about the second quarter on, and for good reason, but no version of what he did on Sunday is going to slow down Mahomes and the Legion of Zoom, as some like to call them.
