The chiefs are dominant at throwing it into deep and intermediate zones and scoring quickly and efficiently
If teams can “force” them out of that it makes them do things on offense that aren’t as efficient.
The chiefs offense is supposed to be elite. Elite offenses don’t piss and sputter like the chiefs have some this year. It’s a weird year and we know the chiefs can do it so there’s reasons it’s not happening.
But remember those 2013 bronco offenses or the pats of 08? Teams couldn’t stop them and they just forced their will on teams [Reply]

That's like telling a hitter not to hit opposite field because he is a great pull hitter. If they're going to shift, you punish them for cheating. Not only does it exploit the advantage. It makes you an even better pull hitter because the defense will think twice before shifting. [Reply]

It’s like telling a power hitter to punt against the shift.
No. The chiefs need to get back to putting pressure on teams down the field [Reply]

We're pissing and sputtering when we can't get the run game going even when defenses are daring us to run. We are much better than that. We need to punish defenses for cheating. [Reply]

Why the **** does anyone want the chiefs to run the ball more when they have Mahomes ?
It’s a passing league it’s never been easier to throw the ball and the chiefs are built to throw the ball
And you guys want them to run it more
We punished the bills last week and still had to convert a drive late to put it away. With this offensive skill talent, that’s not the best way to play [Reply]

Pass pro isn't good enough to stop 4, and sometimes 3, rushers. It's hard to pass the ball when that's the case. [Reply]

Wow a rookie QB who has not been perfect? Color me shocked.
Whether he is the real deal remains to be seen, but he’s shown a lot of flashes and that’s exactly what you want to see from a rookie QB just starting out. [Reply]

I know it's playing into the opposing defense's hands. I get that. I know it leads to having fewer possessions and fewer explosive plays, but the alternative is more empty possessions. You're also keeping your defense fresh and keeping the other offense off the field. That part goes both ways. [Reply]

If it’s out of need then I get it
But why anyone would “want” them to do it is beyond me [Reply]

I’m sure opposing defensive coordinators are doing everything to limit Seattle’s deep passing attack.
That doesn’t stop Russell Wilson from dropping multiple bombs a game to Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf anyway though.
Also doesn't stop Russell Wilson from losing the game with an ill-timed INT. [Reply]

Which means doing whatever it takes.
JFC, they won 43-16 in a game where the #1 and #2 RB's averaged over 6 yards per carry against the 4th-best rushing defense in the league.
Would you rather they throw the ball and go 3-and-out more often?
Mahomes throwing the ball gives them their best statistical chance to consistently win. Just like it did last year and in the playoffs.
They’re doing what they have to do right now and winning easily still, but their best bet to Win in the playoffs and such is for Mahomes to throw the ball. [Reply]
