The teams have figured out what stops the Chiefs:
1. Keep Mahomes off the field
2. Run baby, run through the defense frontline of the Chiefs
3. When Mahomes is on the field, use man-to-man and harass the quarterback with constant pressure
That's all they have to do. Until the Chiefs defense improves, or a new offensive scheme is put in place to protect Mahomes works, this is going to be a struggling season. [Reply]
Let’s get healthy and see what happens before declaring it a lost cause. I’m pissed about these two games, but the Texans and Colts were two of the best in the league last year and Houston could be a contender for the 1 seed. I don’t see it as panic time.
The Rams are on the verge of being 3-3. I don’t think they believe their season is over. [Reply]

Yup.
As I recall Andy benched himself and let Pederson take over playcalling.
Why was KC 1-5?
Same shit. He fell in love with passing every goddamn down which put a ton of pressure on his OL, defense, and had his QB living under constant pressure.
Pederson came in, called a more balanced game, and KC's offense was more productive.
Also what happened in 2017 when KC went on a losing streak. Same cause, same solution. Andy benched himself and Nagy got them going again.
Mahomes is going to hide this better than Smith could, but he's still taking too many goddamn hits. He's not going to finish the season at this rate. Andy's gonna get him killed.
I'm still 100% confident Kc will make the playoffs, but they have some tough games this year and these two losses pretty much assured no chance at HFA. [Reply]

And we decided we wanted to get worse this year by letting Justin Houston and Dee Ford loss. No idea why everyone blamed them for our defensive woes last year. [Reply]

Thats been the plan to beat all great QB's in the NFL since the 80's. [Reply]
