Have you noticed that teams with no QB or receivers always seem to manage to find a RB? They become what people like to call "running teams".
Lindsay is the product of being a RB on a team that has no offensive talent.
He's over-sensationalized because he's literally all they have. His skill set is very meh. Two years from now no one will care about Philip Lindsay. [Reply]

I get where you're going... but, I don't think that's completely accurate.
You're suggesting that he's only successful because that's all they have... and if that's the case, why couldn't they just focus on shutting him down if there or no other viable threats? [Reply]

Because they're a team committed to running the football and as a team have taken on that identity. I bet they could plug a lot of backs in over there and have success. [Reply]

Yeah, I'll just be happy to see them at 3-4 after Thursday night at this point.
Lose this one and KC has a lot of problems on their hands though... with Packers, Vikings, @ TEN and @ LAC before the bye. I don't think they want to be 4-3 heading into that stretch. [Reply]

JFC Vikings and Titans might run the ball 50+ times on us.
The Chargers are probably the one team that can't run on the Chiefs. [Reply]

They can chomp all they want, but that o-line is trash. So is Gordon. Eckler is a JAG and Rivers looks like he's already thinking about buying a home in Nashville. [Reply]
