We lost one cause dee Ford can't line up and the other cause we melted down when Pat got impatient and still took it to overtime. Lost a superbowl cause we started a JV squad at OLine. We can run the ball just fine. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he do without Kelce's gravity? Yep. And what makes Kelce great is his ability to know exactly where Patrick wants him to go... ie when he sees cover 2 he glances over to Patrick and nods... it's that communication that will be hard to replace. qnet and Fmbl2187 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not waste another 1st rounder on a RB. Or a 2nd, or 3rd. We're just fine with Pacheco and McKinnon. dhitter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So doing anything better possibly swings the outcome. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a semblance of a run game against Tampa would have changed the whole look. And there is no doubt running it against cincy eats the clock enough. Not worth re hashing he’s gonna win 2 more at least .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say definitely that running the ball better didn't cost us a super bowl appearance. It may have been enough to have won at least 1 of those games. Or both.

As others have pointed out, anyone can point to any single thing that would have made all the difference for any team in any year. We would have gone to the SB and won in 2018 if Dee Ford had lined up 2 more INCHES back from the line of scrimmage. Its crazy. The whole thing about running vs. passing is dependent on personnel and on making sure that the offensive play calling and predictabillity stays a fraction of a second ahead of any defensive adjustments. All a Mahomes-led team needs is a credible running game...enough to take away predictability. jetlord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bread and butter is Mahomes and the wide variety of targets he has. Andy out coached and out schemed the other teams and the only fault is the inability to make the short yardage is obvious situations. The Chiefs with Henry or JC or Hunt on the team probably wouldn't score many more points. A better team? Sure. They would also be a better team with Rice, Moss, or Chase catching Mahomes passes.

I'm not suggesting we need better than Pacheco. And I'd be pissed if we take a running back in the first 2 days. And other than Xen possibly, I am more against running the ball than anyone here. But it's fair to say that it has hurt us occasionally. The Patriots AFCCG, they dominated us in time of possession 44 minutes to 21. They out rushed us 176 to 41. We won the turnover battle and had only 4 penalties for 28 yards. One could argue that the difference in the game was their ability to run the ball better and the 5 yard penalty on Dee Ford was not the primary problem. The Bengals AFCCG, we had a 2 score lead with 8:48 to go in the 3rd. Patrick started to come apart a little and we either could not, or did not run the ball any more to help him out.

That's what I mean. Any close victory or loss can be ascribed to any one single play depending on where we direct our attention. The ones that irk us the most are when a penalty flag that is questionable causes a loss.
