WichitaZRide 321 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 While we've all seen things we've liked the last couple games, I was reading a stat on Football Outsiders that felt was worth mentioning: What do the top 12 of the top 13 ranked offenses have in common? Only ONE of them have head coaches calling the plays(GB at #9 who just got up there due to the game yesterday) Just wanted to make that known...

Okiechief1 425 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Reid is frustrating at times but at this point you just have to take the good with the bad with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The most frustrating thing about Reid's calls is his refusal to run the ball on first and goal from the two or three. It probably cost the Chiefs the TB game. He's not the only one, but it still gets to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check play-by-play later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I've been shown only one side of the coin. It was hard to research...but I believe the number is 12 of the remaining 19 call their own plays...and GB did have the OC calling the offense until they went on that skid and McCarthey took over...

IIRC, they tried an end around or something like that for a loss. Took the option of running Ware out of the equation. Tried passing on first down early in the Jets or Jags game from the two, I can't remember which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the case of the one team out of 13 that was different, the head coach taking back play calling improved the offense. Beyond the correlation, I don't see causation.

WichitaZRide 321 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 How many teams have won 10 games that the HC calls the plays. Are you really trying to say the offense is the reason the Chiefs have 10 wins? It has nothing to do with the defense and ST attributing for 51% of the teams total points? Not to mention the majority of the other 49% of points scored that were a result of the defense and ST and defense giving the offense a short field? I find this comical considering the malice you have shown in the past on posts regarding the offense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Does anybody really f*cking care how the Chiefs score or win games? Why is it when people measure a QB the look at SB wins but when looking at a team they look at yardage and how they scored. Tell me, if the Chiefs won the SB in the fashion they have been playing would many of you still worry how they won it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WichitaZRide 321 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I may be happy, but I don't believe I'll ever be 100% content. Good teams and good coaches are ALWAYS looking for ways to get better. Do you think that Bill Belichick has been as successful as he has by being content with his team? Or do you think that even though he has been on of the best, if not the best for the last 15 years he's looked at his roster EVERY SINGLE DAY, figuring out his weaknesses and strengths, adjusting his playbook and personnel(both on and off the field) to give him the best chance of winning? I'm ecstatic that the chiefs are so good in Special Teams and Defensively when it comes to turnovers and redzone. But I also know that we've lost games due to vanilla playcalling, poor clock management, and an offense that eventually causes the Defense to break because they are on the field the entire game. Any NFL player or coach that is content riding out their situation and not trying to improve in any place they can is not doing their job. So yeah...while I may not care as much about how the chiefs score or win games, I sure as hell care how they don't score and lose games...and if the chiefs went to the super bowl and LOST by playing in the fashion they have been...I'd be upset...

I know you are talking about the approach. How does the waiver wire work? Is it just that the worst team (draft order) that selects him has to take him at his salary? Not like a silent auction.

We'll just need that perfect game that has evaded the Chiefs this year. The Chiefs best ball is yet to come - time to put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
