To me, you can feel however you want to feel. It is another thing to state something that is objective when it isn't. It is subjective and goes against facts, statistics, etc.
To state that the Chiefs are going to be less explosive because we lost Tyreek and at the same time completely discounting all of the additions.
If he said "I am worried that we won't be as explosive" that is different than "we won't be"...
Every Chiefs fan is happy when we are successful... if not, then they are not a fan. [Reply]
There will most likely be less hero ball. This does not mean the offense will necessarily score less points. I expect a more EFFICIENT offense, and one that a simple two deep safety defense will not be able to stop. [Reply]

I agree that we won't need the hero ball if we stick to our guns and play team football. So what if Juju/MVS/Hardman/Moore all only have 900 yards each? Would it be the worst possible outcome for our RB by committee averages 175 ground yards a game? The objective is to win, not pad someone's stats. I'd rather sit back and know a 2 TD lead is safe in the 4th quarter. [Reply]

efficient offense is code for "scores less" [Reply]

Hardly.
Less flashy, but more productive.
If it ain't, then it ain't more efficient.
If you go 75 yards on 10 plays because you converted three 3rd and 10s for 25 yards each, that's flashy as hell (and pretty efficient). Meanwhile if you go 75 yards via 7 plays of 10 yards and a TD from the 5, your 8 play, 75 yard drive was nowhere near as flashy as the one with three deep passes but definitely more efficient.
I'm not sure the offense will be more efficient, but efficiency IS the name of the game in the modern NFL and it's why I wanted no part of some 6 yard per target slug like Jarvis Landry in here.
I think the offense will probably be slightly less efficient because I just don't see high productivity on low volume from someone like JJSS - but I do think it can be less high variance. Good, bad or otherwise, it seems the most likely outcome to me. In either event, 'more efficient' don't mean 'less productive' and if that's the outcome, you're doing it wrong.

Don't try to white knight the guy. This is the character he wants to be. People shitting on him is part of the process and is what he wants. You're not new enough here to not recognize this.
Sure but there absolutely is a competition to be the biggest optimist on here that often becomes a mad fury at people being pessimistic. Some people seem to take it incredibly personally and I've no idea why. [Reply]

gee, how will we possibly replace the...what...11.0 ypc that Hill had last year?
Opposing defenses basically turned him into a possession receiver. We were NOT explosive for most of the year, other than some short to intermediate passes that turned into big plays due to missed tackles (Like Kelce's against the Chargers).
The 2019 bombs away to Hill offense was not coming back.
If defenses sit in two deep all game long now, we have multiple ways to kill them.
I see an offense with the capability to beat a defense so many ways, there's just not a good way to play it IF we can execute.
There's no way in hell this won't be a top 5 scoring offense. [Reply]

I think there are times we need an efficient, ball-control offense. An efficient offense wouldn't have pissed away that Cinci game in the second half. [Reply]

Very well said and you are correct. How in the hell can you be so pessimistic when A. It is training camp for God's sake B. We have not played anyone yet and C. Let's see how this team does/adjusts through the first 5 REGULAR season games before we start being "Debbie Downers" like Clayton right out the freaking gate!
I pray that this team is better than it ever was and goes through this seasons gauntlet victoriously - I, as a Chiefs fan, believe they will and am excited to see it. Chiefs are going to be fine :-) [Reply]
