Another OL tweet but it’s interesting. Notice anything the Bills did?
A lot of times, including the last play of the game, they had 2 DL on one side of the OL crash hard and bull rush the G and T. They see Mahomes flushing out constantly. They crash the OL and flush Mahomes out the way they want and have a LB spy fly to that zone they force Mahomes to go to so he’s got instant pressure in his face.
This also cuts off half of the field. Chargers did this in week 2 and Mahomes struggled badly against it. Bills copied that from Harbaugh and I expect other teams to do the same.

I don't understand why in all of this we aren't just dialing up more short game like they did to calm down Alex Smith. If you trust Hopkins, Kelce, Gray, Juju and Worthy to get heads around and hands up why not get into a rhythm early. It negates the long looping pressure that's been killing us, lets Mahomes rifle it and moves the chains.
