Finally found the nerve to go back and look at that last series of downs from the Chiefs' offense. Has anyone figured out what the hell was going on there? Bad enough the block in the back on the KO sent the LOS back to the 11. But then...
The first hand-off to Williams for a loss looked like a badly choreographed children's dance recital. Looked like the RG total whiffed on his guy and ran downfield like it was going to be a screen. RT tried to compensate, but it was too late and the play was blown up for a loss. The hand-off itself looked awkward as ass.
Next play was a quick short pass to Hill for about 5 yards. Not bad. That should have been the 1st down play.
3rd & 8 goes to 3rd & 13 because 84 flinched. Then the dolts rush 3 and get an almost immediate sack. WTF? Offense had them outnumbered and got their shit pushed in.
PUNT.
A few first downs and/or a score of any kind most likely wins the game. Yeah our defense lost the game, but how is our offense this shitty on such a CRUCIAL series of downs? From players to coaches, the lack of urgency on that series was just mind-boggling.
I shouldn't have watched that again. Thanks for indulging me. Crush the seahags! [Reply]

Honestly, it's like Andy gets scared and becomes so obvious what he is going to do. If you go back to week 2 against the Steelers when we were on our own 1 and we ran it straight up the gut. Everyone in that stadium knew what was coming and the defense teed off and caused a safety. Same thing happened on that first play of the last series. Chiefs were gonna run it, everyone in the stadium knew it, the Chargers knew it and it showed. [Reply]
I usually shit all over the fat man bc it’s warranted, but this was on Pat.

Look at the screen up top. Conley and Kelce are blocking for Tyreek and there isn’t a 3rd defender in the clip, which looks to be 12 or so yards.
It was simple math. 3v2 with an incredibly fast receiver, even on one leg. Would have been at least a 7 yard gain.
Pat has to see that.

The #Chiefs had several failures on the final possession of their Week 15 loss to the #Chargers, starting with conservative play-calling on 1st down.
With momentum slipping, Andy Reid calls for his MVP-caliber QB to hand the ball off to Damien Williams. Loss of 3... pic.twitter.com/cHL2F3XOMx
I believe Andy simply out thinks himself in these situations. "Well I've been doing X all day and they're totally expecting X, so I'll completely catch them off guard by doing Y!"
Then Y proceeds to blow up in his face, and the next time the situation presents itself he convinces himself that this will be the time it works. Except it never does. [Reply]
