It's not about doing anything different specifically, it's just a learning process. They did everything just a little bit better.

They didn't turn it over, commit penalties and drop the football.

It's nothing ground breaking.

Exactly. That's my point. They just executed better, and a couple WRs being out kept them from rotating guys in so much.

There's no magic formula/counter that defenses now have to respond to.

I'm kind of hoping they continue to move Rice around in the formations and take advantage of some mismatches he poses. Sprinkle in some Toney so he doesn't break for a few games, work James, Hardman, and Moore in the slot. Its probably the best formula for this group.

I'm not so sure about that. It felt to me like we were way more intentionally trying to get the ball to rashee and set up blocking to give him a little space. We threw some really nice designed screens and he was well targeted.

But as an example... Philly actually did a pretty good job of containing rashee. It's not like we refused to target him. He was often well covered. So it feels more than just execution.

Id also say this was a unique game where our initial script didn't work, but our adjustments did. Not just a lack of execution. It just wasn't working on the initial drives. That's flipped from what we've been doing.
[Reply]

If Rice/MVS/Watson don't drop balls, Kelce and Mahomes don't turn the ball in the red zone, it's a completely different game and performance from the offense.

Again, the biggest difference was clearly execution.

This is exactly why I say you are hilariously clueless. This is very simple shit. Even my fucking mom who doesn't know shit about football understood this.

People keep saying this like it's an easy thing to get another team to give up high draft picks for an over 30 D Lineman who wants 30 mil a year when that team knows that you can't afford to pay him. If they were to tag Jones that puts them in a difficult situation at best, untenable at worst. IMO they either sign him long term or let him walk. I doubt they tag him at all.

It isn't simple shit. If you want to simplify some of our stuckness over several months to just catching passes, as if we're dominating second half drives outside of the drops, then yiure just a complete homer which is all you've been when you can't handle a conversation without popping a blood vessel with insults.

This post script offense looked better. Much better. Our rotations were better, we managed the run game well, we set up rashee better, we carved out better roles for skyy and mvs even if that meant arguably hiding them some. But some of that as well has to do with Oakland giving us space to use the short game where philly dared us to win with Watson/mvs. It goes that way too.

So where does that leave us? I think we've figured something out that gets us finally back to the juju standard. I also expect defenses to follow more of the philly second half blueprint. So there's some give and take.
[Reply]

I didn't say that it's just drops. I clearly mentioned the turnovers, and the WR rotation getting cut down due to injuries too.

Again, it's about execution, which goes beyond just drops.

Do you get it yet?

2008-2010 Jamaal Charles was different lol

Heard on the radio that Rice is #1 in the NFL in YAC per reception. Yup, even more than Reek. That 36 yarder last week probably helped a lot in that regard. I'm really pumped about this guy's future as a Chief.
[Reply]

It was different. We threw more to Pacheco out of the backfield and did more horizontal shallow crossers than we have in past games.
[Reply]

The script was still fine, they were still on it by the 3rd drive.
[Reply]

To be fair it's all those things and usage, Rice had his highest percentage of snaps on the outside by some measure. I guess that's maybe partly connected to the limited rotation?
