This is EXACTLY what I think has been going on the whole year. A learning curve for 2PM, the offense and for Reid (on how to use him) FANATIC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Chiefs have not been as explosive this year. I'm sure the injuries have played a major part. Defenses seem to be playing their safeties pretty deep ...that contributes. Less over the top plays. Mitch Morse? No one mentions him. How much did his play at center contribute vs what we have in Reiter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarksvilleChief 193 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I think with the way the Defense has been playing, Reid didnt have to score 40 to win. He knows he can pretty much score at will. He wanted to work on his ball control offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in LDT's inconsistent play and Wylie getting pushed around 75% of the time, and that might explain the lack of explosive plays. Add in Safeties playing 15 yds deep, and that "COULD" be the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We led the league this year in passing plays of 40+ yards. 3rd last year. this year we are also tied for 3rd in runs of 40+ yards with 3. Lots of teams bunched up at spots 1, 2 and 3 in rushing plays of 40+. I think maybe the difference people are noticing is we had about 17 fewer plays of 20+ yards. That makes sense, given how much ball control Andy's been playing. Personally, I think Andy's been calling it this way on purpose to get Pat and the offense used to grinding it out and helping the defense. But the explosive plays are still there. qnet, FANATIC and Burpo The Mad Clown 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiter is not near what Morse was, LDT is a major disappointment after signing him to an extension, Wylie showed some flashes last year but when Wiz is in the left side seems to be better....what does that tell you? Schwartz is still solid but I don't think he is playing as well overall as he did last year. Maybe a little age creeping in. Fisher is decent. Can't offer much more than that. Gets beat every so often but isn't a train wreck at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the awful line play much of the season was a big contributor too. That said we’ve dropped from 2nd to 21st in the red zone largely because we don’t have anyone near the level of Kareem Hunt. RBs still matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Kareem Hunt loss hurt, and it's hard not to stop thinking about what may have been, even though I've mentioned we shouldn't talk about it. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been suspended during last years playoffs and basically wouldn’t have been able to contribute this season until we the point we were winning six straight games. It would be nice to have him Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefensiveMan 758 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If Lamar has to consistently pass it and the Ravens get down a few scores they might be in trouble. A lot of ppl tend to forget was Gus Bradley and the Bolts did to them last year. They were booing and calling for Flucco real quick...they'll be extra motivated this time, but it will be in the back of their mind. Ingram is banged up also.

They played with 7 DBs on the field the whole game, to match Jackson's athleticism. IT WORKED. DefensiveMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwartz agrees with you on ball control for the Titans. .@geoffschwartz: "Two ways to beat the #Ravens...The Niners way..limit possessions from the #Ravens and play tough defense...The other way to do it is the #Chiefs way...score a bunch of points...The #Ravens would privately admit to you that they don't like to play from behind."
