lose this game? 2017 was the final score. We went through
the game and kind of some of the things that we thought just
a couple days ago.
But you've taken a closer look at this right now
and let's just start this off with a homie. Let's let a homie
direct the beginning of the conversation. I like that of
that. Nick's leaks says this
Chiefs fan here it seems like we never run a game plan
specific offense. It's the same passing Concepts and RPO game,
regardless of opponent. Why do you think Andy does it this
way? I don't know, but I agree.
You know?
I am totally on, you know, board with what our man at.
Nick's leaks is saying,
I'm totally on board with it is and we had this discussion last
week, right? Talking about, you know, the the Chargers game
a little bit. Yeah. There is
a lack of a, real plan of attack
sometimes for me,
you know, they got a little unlucky in this football game.
Here and there too and they still got,
it's still an offense where I'd go. I'd take it still over
a lot of people in football. Let's not forget that but yeah,
there's the surgically element that I know you love. When
I use that word that is missing in this football game
missing in this football team at times. It is
and they kind of just would go hey wait
we got a cool system and we run our plays and
we're pretty good at protecting and he's awesome back there and
we just figure it'll work it'll make it happen, you know.
I know it's not exactly like that. But it's like general
terms how I'm trying to put it here and that's that's
definitely something that bothers me about the early on.
In this game, though, you may have noted something.
Do you have a text here? Is there some? No, no, I got
a tech. I got a text are. Just some things I want to read off
about this game, 20, you have them in text for. I have a few
things. Oh I see from the plays that
well yeah you know the that was one thing we do it off for
the Chiefs, very right. Well we talked about this just before
we get into the specifics of the game, it just it was one of
those games where on Monday we were like How did that happen?
How did they lose? Like I can't even quite put it in, like they
were controlling the game the whole
time and, you know, we're so clearly the better team on
the field. And yeah, I got a, you know, a little check list here
of things to go, oh, well, yeah, if you dominate and
the better team in the feeling you do these things,
you have a chance to lose and that that I think will someone
takes and some yes, kick Orson, 10 version, drop pass bad
penalty. She dropped upon of the 5-yard line, right? It's
kind of the same. About the Dolphins game. I don't mean to
go
back there, but then the same kind of thing, get it, you know
what I mean? You know, but I do think on those. You do have to
be careful on that because if my Detroit Lions, do stuff like
that, you're like, well, yeah. That's just the Detroit Lions
and they blew it. You know, it's like you don't get bailed
out by screwing up those.
We just maybe bail the Chiefs up because that's, we don't
think that's typical. We don't think that'll happen. If that's
what that's the difference. It's tip. It's not typical
right with their team that showed us, they can play at
a very high level and do it
consistently for weeks and weeks in a row and they don't
do dumb stuff. And, you know, you don't get to before AFC
championship games in a row and you know go to two Super Bowls
by just doing dumb s*** like this and going well,
we pulled it out somehow. I don't know how but we did it
and it's just no, no. These are mistakes that,
you know, it doesn't matter who you are, you can't make and
they certain certainly shouldn't be making the. Now
you say, they didn't necessarily have a game plan
specific offense here. They're just a bunch of plays that go
together, but maybe early in this game. They
tried to convince the Colts that they were going to come
out. Try to run the ball a little bit. I've owned it.
Yeah. They're going to be a different Chiefs. Did they try
to do that?
They did. And I don't like it.
I don't like, I've given up on that. It's a little like we
talked about a little of the Cardinals a few weeks ago. It's
a little the same thing like know who you are,
you're not really a running football team, you're not
really gonna do it. The whole game, you're just doing it to
be like, all right, we're going to come out and do something
different here for two plays. And then
we're going to get away from it for the whole game
until we get down to the two yard line
and they were going to do it again. Even though, when we got
down to the two yard line, we went down from 90 yards in
the shotgun with our best Empire making plays. But now we're
going to get to the two yard line and we'll
put an ISO Smash and get in three tight and sets even
though we're not good at it. And not no point. Did we really
do it with any success and we're going to do that and run
it up the middle for no yards.
And then on third down,
we're going to sprint out and chop off, half the field for
our quarterback and not score a touchdown, in a big moment and
look at that to me. Yes. It's just I get bothered by that. By
Kansas said, we don't always see him do that. You know, we
see him run some
creative plays down by the goal line. The shovel passes
the option. Definitely third and shorts.
Short yardage goal. Line situations are the biggest
problems for the Chiefs and bills. For me,
it's a real, it's a real issue because they don't have a real
Run game to rely on and they got to find ways to, you know,
get it in the end zone, more consistently, they're too good,
not to, I guess is what I'm saying. So you got
into the weeds a little bit, with some Personnel groupings here,
and I think we have a Graphic
that talks to it
too. So, running out of 12, 21, 22 Personnel. Yeah. So kind of
explain what you saw and then we're seeing a graphic now if
you're watching. YouTube or
or peacock that goes into some nitty-gritty here. So what does
this all say? Well, it's all saying, you know, basically
like listen, when they get in these 12, 21 Personnel, 22,
Personnel jarls, what exactly no more running sets. One back,
two tight ends, two backs, one
tight end to backs. Two tight ends is 22 Personnel. Got a all
things like that, right? And you could see like yards per
carry their at four point seven,
which is seventh and football. And people if they saw other,
you look think they're pretty good.
It's, it's a little skewed because of one big run by Clyde
Edward Solera. The end of the Chargers game, it's a little
skewed to because
it's like
they do it at the start of the game when teams are playing way
back, right? And they're like, wait, we don't want Mahomes to
make a big play right off the start of the game or they get
in those sets in a lot of teams go. Well they might block it up
and take a
like a throw out deep post or something. So then they run
the ball for the six yards of six yards of men, we go. Oh wow.
Whoa. Ran for six yards up the middle, but then, of course,
they don't go back to it or do it again for, like,
you know, ten plays or three drives
so that and then, you know, just looked at yards per carry,
like you mentioned. Yes. Yeah. Go ahead. You ranked seventh in
the NFL rocket, that's pretty good, but like you mentioned,
there's some big plays that are skewing that average. Where if
you look at their percentage
of carries in these formations for a loss or no gain,
they're nearly 20%.
And that is tied for the worst in the
NFL. Yeah, they're not, they don't want their not with
the bills and it was Not well yeah, there you go. Well, that's
great. I'm glad you're telling me that the other tied for
the worst because they're not committed to that.
So stop trying to be that just for
a few plays here. And I understand hey, maybe there's
a team on the certain week that makes sense. This was not
the team that it made sense and then when they get in these
formations in these sets sometimes they just go
what's the point because when they drop back and pass I go,
wait, it's the same pass plays they do if the other three
receivers are in the game. So let's just put the other three
receivers in the game because it's more dangerous that way.
So I, that's
Where I don't get it at times.
Yeah I guess it's just it's just a thought I have of just
stop pretending that and I think it throws them off of
the rhythm of their offense a little bit. And
also causes them to miss
third and ones or goal line situations because of it where
I wanted to go snow. Just give the guy the ball in the shotgun
and let em scramble and make a play
or design, a cool pass play to where he can throw some laser
in there and get it that that that's my, you know, my two
cents on their approach a little bit on that stair. Run
around me.
His sidearm throw to Juju for a giant play, right? That is that
was, that was so sick that play. That's what you said.
Insane. I think was your quote, your curse of quote in your
notes. I mean yeah, the in path to deep cross her out. Alright,
so there
you know, there one issue is certainly on their offensive
line is number 65. Trey Smith. Okay. He is a weakling. We got
a question on that. Orion shows all wet. Okay. Go ahead. The
o-line seemed to underperform for the Chiefs on Sunday.
How big of an issue is this going forward for Mahomes and
Company? I'm not totally worried about
I know Brown had a player to once. He got tricky, got
tripped one time,
but I ultimately came in by came came
back. Just going
Trey Smith is the issue. Almost four out of every five times he
gets
you know pressure
or can't you know sit on a route down field it's because
he's getting beat. So they got to do something there to help
him out, but he's certainly the guy that jumps out to me pretty
much on a
consistent basis.
Yeah, and it was bad in this game for sure. Center drop off
from last year,
is he? Yeah, it is. It's, it does seem like it's a drop.
I feel like it's more noticeable last year. I would still, he
was probably the weak link to
this year. I just feel like it's happened more times in
the first three weeks than it did last year. And last year,
I think you give him the benefit of the doubt, because like he's
a rookie and, you know, he's trying to find his way
this year. That's
the training wheels are off.
So the same things you said to Andy
previous week, still apply here,
that's probably not going to change.
It's The the issues that you have with the Chiefs,
I mean, it's work form for your, I mean, I know it's not
a huge overhaul, it's not, it's just a little bit of
approaching like a few situations that just bother me.
And that's all I'm saying.
And it is at times, I think they don't find their Rhythm on
the offense, because they go back to this stuff, where
I just go why we were rolling.
It was the Mahomes magic show and everything was good. And
then it was like, whoa, let's slow it down and run between
the tackles because we just, we got to, we haven't done in
a while. While now you don't there's no rule
you know, I'd rather you see me like the bills and just throw
it 62 times in
and just come up with more screens and plays like that and
just do it that way.
So that that's what you know,
bothered me. But yeah, you know,
other than that you're right, there's not a whole lot of
problems. I'm still very confident that they're one of
the best teams in football. There's no doubt, there D is
real,
and they just got to help out Trey Smith a little bit,
you know, because even he gets sacked by you.
Anakin gawk way on one play.
He's going to have. He's going to have Kelsey wide open for
a big play. Yeah you gotta cock. We got the sack of wasn't
really Yannick ngoc way. It was divorced. Buckner and up Trey
Smith
and then Jana can got--we got the sack, right?
So that's the big thing that
jumped out to me. Certainly
unbuttoned videos, you get to see me. I mad for read all
the big player, breakdowns game, breakdowns, player, interviews,
and my film analysis. So please
subscribe, Chris Simms, unbuttoned, peace out.
