Last season they fucked us up for an entire half in both games before we boatraced them.
This time Andy seemed to figure out how to use everyone on the offense effectively and kept the Patriots guessing. The offense moved a lot more consistently.
The second half was kind of a mess...BUT...Andy clearly went a bit conservative.
I felt like he definitely left some stuff in his bag of tricks, and if Kelce doesn't fumble, we probably put another 6 up. Not to mention Patrick's hand.
So the question is...do we feel confident that adding Hardman and Mahomes progression has slayed this beast?

There’s no doubt Andy has his number more than any other coach in the league though.
This. I don't think there was a lightbulb moment where AR and PMII said "eureka". 23 points isn't solving a defense. I think there's been enough decline in the Pats offense that their D can't always play the way they want because of the score. I think all the years AR played them at Philly plus playing them a half dozen times over the last 5 years with KC, or at least it seems like it, they know each other well. [Reply]
If solving the Pats defense involves throwing 10-12 yard passes and moving the chains, I'm in. While it's fun to see 60 yard bombs and 40 points a game, sometimes you have to dial it back. PMII's hand was injured so don't make stupid mistakes or try something that's not there. [Reply]

Hill wide open in the back of the ez for instance.
My concern was that Pat was writing hill off before the snap and just assuming he would be taken away.
I think with a healthy hand Patty hits Hill on that play.. the way Pat sees the field there’s no way he didn’t see him.. we’re not talking Alex Smith hear... [Reply]
What was hilarious was that one play where the Pats drew a PI call and Romo lost his mind saying that Brady had “figured the defense out” and that we were fucked.
Then the Pats proceeded to do jack shit on offense the rest of the game:-) [Reply]
Andy managed to not let the Pat's spies get a hold of our game plan for once. We dominated them on both sides of the ball until we went into the locker room.
Once in there, the entire second half plan by the Chiefs was taped and relayed through "scouts" and straight to the sideline.
The Pats, armed with insider information- were able to regain the Glory! [Reply]

Well that’s your opinion, maybe your right maybe your wrong but a lot of people are saying we looked better last year than we do this year.
And to be honest if dee ford doesn’t line up offsides I don’t think there’s any argument about whether we were better last season or this season. [Reply]
