This may seem obvious, but I believe Hunt’s loss created a more glaring void than anyone could’ve imagined. The simple reality is that our offense no longer has the ability to sustain drives because we can’t run the football. It’s easy to bitch at Reid for not running the ball, but the truth is that we can’t block well enough to run the damn ball, and the RBs we have now aren’t capable of creating things on their own. Hunt was and was at the top of the yards after first contact category. Now, no team in the league fears our run game and they’re teeing off on our shitty line as a result.
Getting Fisher back will help, but it won’t change things significantly enough to matter. Until we find another guy in the backfield that commands the oppositions respect, we’ll continue to struggle offensively. There will certainly be games that Mahomes is unstoppable in, but they likely won’t be in January. Damien Williams, McCoy, and the others aren’t nearly good enough. [Reply]

Looking at our backs right now, I’m pleased
All three of them produce when given an opportunity to do so, Hunt cut his own throat, moving on...
Shady and Damien have really shitty contact balance.
I hate the idea, if making it harder on PMII especially when he's injured [Reply]
Look numbnut huny was a hell of talent but he fucking lied his ass off. If he would of been honest he would of still be on the team. Stop crying about it and let watch the chiefs beat the donkey! [Reply]

Look at any of Reid’s teams historically and there was always a feature back that teams had to account for. We don’t have anything near that now.
