West 6,713 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If we take a look at this season, I think the Steelers game will be a very big "tell" for KC. Is KC a team with enough physicality to be a legitimate contender? The Chargers win told me that they can handle a shoot out, but can they make that 3rd and 3 against a tough d-front? The lack of physicality has been one of my biggest criticisms for years. Its time to see what this O-line & D-line can do. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hunt and Ware didn't impress in the Chargers game, but then again, Andy didn't use them much in critical situations. What surprised me more was the lack of targets to Kelce. Maybe the LAC game plan was to take him out of the game, but he should have had more chances. We are seeing the benefits of multiple weapons and I'm guessing that we'll see new heroes every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,713 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I agree with you Jet. But I am not looking for the flash...rather the trench work. Sooner or later physicality will matter. The Pittsburgh Defense has the tendency to expose the Chief's weaknesses. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The playcalling didn't help, with 10 minutes to go we run on 1st and 2nd down, roll out Mahomes and punt. Then we get the ball after the turnover at the 1 and where we should just be pounding it we only run once then throw it. Luckily Reid's offensive creativity can sometimes counter his own play calling and we scored on the Hill whatever play that was but feel like we need to give our O a chance to smash it at the goal line.

qnet 1,150 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Pitt game will be a tough one. They somehow always seem to raise their intensity level when playing the Chiefs, or it seems that way. I'm interested i seeing how Mahomes handles this intensity. I thought Ware & Hunt played ok for what was going on in the game. The Chargers were really focusing on them as well as Kelce. As you guys mentioned, we're seeing the benefits of having multiple weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evad 242 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I hope the Steelers receivers drop as many passes as the Chargers receivers did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Steelers always seem to be coming off a woeful game coming into Chiefs week. They play physical up front . The difference will be physicality West , but how many WIDE OPEN receivers did we miss against these guys in the past. Mahomes eyes will be down the field and if we hit a few big plays against their lackluster secondary then that will open up the K. Hunt and Spencer Ware duo. Kelce will get more touches in this game. Reid will be ready for these clowns. Enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two dropped TDs from the second quarter were on the same drive - a drive that ended in a TD anyway. Benjamin later dropped a big gain, but not a TD. At MOST, that's a one-TD swing, and that TD wouldn't have been guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this play by DAT on the pass by Mahomes. Terrible effort. At worst all he had to do was slow down and allow the S to run into him for PI. This would've made it 21-6 in the 2nd quarter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ware broke off a big run. Hunt had a big yards after contact.. not many carries for either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would've made it 21-6 in the 2nd quarter: And as a 5th year guy you expect DAT to know better. I don't care about the TD or the penalty. DAT is simply giving Safety a free play on the ball, I wouldn't even mind him going for an offensive PI at that point. DAT is basically non-existent in the picture. This is pure luck saving us from an amateur mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
