This game was horrible, I felt myself detaching after the 1st quarter. It was so bad for me that I actually left at halftime to get food.
Watching the o-line get beat constantly was hard to watch. Mahomes single handedly kept the Chiefs going and people just dropped crucial catches. I counted 4 TDs that could have been made (some difficult catches) but none were made. This hurt more than the refs not calling the game consistently.
CEH averaged 7.1 ypc and we didn't run. The running game could have made a difference in this game. Dropping back over and over with a weak o-line made for a bad game to watch.
I look forward to next year and thank you again for being my escape! I appreciate you guys!
I think if we started running more they would have adjusted. We were just out powered on the line.
It's easier to gel in the run game for an offensive line that isn't experienced together or shuffled around. Tampa's adjustments would have included not being able to get upfield as quickly in the pass rush. Plus they constantly dropped back in 2 safety deep zone. We could have forced them to either adjust or die by 1,000 cuts.
I think running the ball more, especially in the middle of the game before it got out of hand, would have made a huge difference.
And mabbot, thanks for chilling with us. Enjoy some time to yourself.
