ST- Kickers continue to do the impossible by hitting things that are hard to hit. Hilarious watching the ball doink the ref in the head. image uploader
Schrader the hero of the game.
Defense - seems to still have a hard time with getting home on the pass rush without the extra blitzer. Didn't see if Uche had any snaps but since Young is a mobile QB they probably limited him again. It seems that every time we got burned on 3rd down the route was that under cross route that Pat made famous with Hill/Hardman in the AFC Divisional round against Buffalo a couple years ago. Just sneaking that WR under a go route. I'll have to go back and watch again, but it seems like we are really struggling on 3rd and long.
Maybe it's a focus thing? Seems like a lot of unnecessary penalties towards the end of the game, McDuffie looked lost on that TD pass and then commits the PI buy running into Moore.
TE - Kelce passes Jason Whitten for all time receiving yards. Noah Grey is really making himself known as a legitimate threat opposite Kelce.
OL - Wanya has gotten beaten bad a couple of times but so has Taylor. On the first TD pass you can see below it is Taylor losing to his man that causes Pat to run up in the pocket. Good news is Pat was only sacked once in the first half but it was Wanya getting beat around the edge.
Wanya got smoked again on the last drive in the 4th Q. I really hope DJ Humphries can get up to speed fast. The last two drives have been atrocious for the offense. Can't seem to get protection down for Pat, especially on exotic pressures. It's like they are so focused on providing help to the tackles that free runners are creating havoc for Pat.
Taylor getting owned by Clowney, the last play on the blitz JJSS missed picking up the blitzer instead chipping the DE.
RB - Steele/Hunt/Perine really stepping up and making big gains on the relief valve passes. Hunt with only 7 carries for 24 yards at half (3.4 yards per). Really gotta get the running game going more.
After watching the 1st half - Pat seems to be better and zipping passes into tight windows. I think he was being hesitant earlier in the year because he wasn't comfortable with the WR's making the catch on a tight window throw possibly leading to a turnover. You can also see Worthy is getting more involved in the passing game.
WR - I wasn't sure Hopkins had any emotions, every time he does an interview he is very reserved in his answers and emotions. This makes me very happy to see.

Honestly, of all the garbage calls we endured today... thats actually the one I won't bitch about, it looked like launching and leading with the helmet IMO [Reply]
The Chiefs four minute offense… when they have the ball at the end of games with a lead… needs work.
The Chiefs offense during the rest of the game (before red zone), is nearly flawless, then they get into situational football of four minute offense or red zone and malfunction. [Reply]

Not much happier with the second down calls today, either
When Hunt puts you ahead of the sticks with 5 yards on a 1st down run, don't run him AGAIN... use that success to pick up an easy pass play [Reply]

Outside of Humphries hopefully stepping in like he's been here for years, its not getting much better in the immediate future... its gonna be another battle
The only thing I'm sure of about our tackles right now, is that Veach is going to attack it like it slapped his Grandma this offseason [Reply]

What can Veach do about Taylor?
I traded his 75 overall ass in Madden and got stuck with a humongous cap penalty the following season. [Reply]
